And a pack of solar-powered stake lights to put an end to your nights of tiptoeing down a dark walkway, fearing a misstep might send you tumbling. These lights are both practical and a magical upgrade for your walkway, offering two fantastic lighting options: classic white for a sophisticated glow, or vibrant multicolored lights sure to make every night feel like a celebration.

This grass seed repair minimizes the effects of unsightly pet urine spots, digging disasters, and worn-down high-traffic areas. Watch as your lawn transforms into a picturesque Windows home screen, complete with grass swaying in the wind.
A high-voltage bug zapper ridding your yard of mosquitoes, gnats, and flies (oh my!) in an impressive half-acre range, making your outdoor gatherings more enjoyable and hassle-free.
And a garbage guard for when you just want to sit back, relax, and enjoy your evening...when all of a sudden, you hear this agitating, grating noise of flies buzzing around the garbage can. This little gizmo sticks inside your garbage can and releases an odorless vapor that keeps bugs at bay for a whopping four months.

A pack of mosquito dunks formulated to decrease the presence of mosquitoes over time, allowing you to reclaim your outdoor sanctuary.

An outdoor misting system to attach under your awning, patio table umbrella, or pergola so that cool mist gently envelops you on a warm day. Just screw one end onto your garden hose and clip the rest around your preferred outdoor lounging area. No sweat (literally).
Or an adjustable mister ready to cool you (and your surroundings) off by up to 20 degrees. Whether you're catching some rays on a lounge chair or just chilling on your patio, this mister can stand on its own or wrap around a structure with ease.
A stainless-steel grill insert because the weather is finally nice out, so we're going to seize every chance to savor the outdoors. With this, you can transform your kettle grill into a fancy pizza oven for a delightful family dinner al fresco.

A slatted 6-foot tall cedar privacy screen equipped with built-in planters, giving you your own secluded nook while blocking out the less-than-pleasant views of your neighbor's tool shed, garbage cans, and AC units.

Microsoft employee slammed for time spent on breaks and grabbing snacks: ‘Pretending to work is more stressful than actually working'
Working hard — or hardly working? Mansi Singhal, a 24-year-old software engineer, has gone viral several times over after she revealed what a day in her life at a Microsoft office — where she works in Hyderabad, India — looks like in an Instagram reel. Between a 45-minute breakfast break, a dessert run and a quick gaming interlude, Singhal's representation of office life has many people baffled and wondering when she gets any work done — while being simultaneously jealous of the wild variety of snack offerings. Advertisement Social media users analyzed her video intensely, and given the timestamps included, many suspect that her day is made up of more breaks than the average office worker. One commenter suggested that 'the most generous read is 6h15m of work and 3h10m of breaks,' though others thought that was quite a benevolent take indeed — and guessed Singhal's actual work time was just around three or four hours. Advertisement 3 Many large tech companies like Microsoft offer communal working spaces, like this one in Microsoft's Gurgaon office, to boost productivity, creativity and collaboration among coworkers. Hindustan Times via Getty Images 3 'That's why Windows always has problems,' one commented quipped under Singhal's original Instagram post. Hindustan Times via Getty Images Modern tech and Silicon Valley-style offices have garnered reputations for wild office environments, with many buildings offering amenities ranging from free lunch to cold brew on tap to hammocks to relax in — but social media users seem to think Singhal's daily in-office routine takes the madness to the next level. Advertisement 'This woman started her lunch at 1:00 and didn't resume work until 2:15? Unless she's trying to eat an entire ham by herself, that's crazy,' one X user wrote. 'The 'adult day care' label is more than earned. I'm surprised there's no designated nap time.' 'I would be SO fried there. Pretending to work is more stressful than actually working,' continued the same user, referring to the 'ghostworking' trend sweeping across burned-out Gen Z corporate employees — AKA, fake it 'til you make it. Some users have stumbled across the video have also wondered how Singhal has managed to hold onto her job — especially amid the tech company's recent layoffs, which impacted 9,000 employees — but the software developer recently posted on her Instagram account, celebrating two years at Microsoft, so she must be doing something right. 'This is the schedule of a hard worker at Microsoft,' vouched a former employee under a post on X. 'The slackers are coming in at 11 and leaving at 4.' Advertisement In a post made since she shared the viral day in the life video, Singhal did admit that she tends to show the 'good side of dev life,' and said that it tends to be a lot more chaotic and difficult than it seems through the screen. 3 Singhal said that she arrives at the office by 9 a.m. and leaves by 6:30 p.m. Instagram/ Other Microsoft 'day in my life' style videos have gone viral over the years, indicating that despite what Singhal's post suggests, software engineers do actually work. With all the amenities, flexible working opportunities and breaks taken throughout the day, some social media users have labeled office environments like Singhal's 'actual adult daycare,' but other corporate employees say this kind of treatment is the bare minimum, especially in an era where many jobs can be done from home. 'For full RTO, if they want workers to go back to pre-COVID, the office needs to go pre-COVID too,' one X user explained, emphasizing that the right benefits are a big push in boosting in-office attendance. The Post has reached out to both Microsoft and Singhal for comment.
