With its colder temperatures and shorter days, the winter is a rough time of year for those of us who enjoy outdoor living. Sure, fire pits and fireplaces can extend the season by weeks, but when the temperatures drop and stay below freezing for days and days on end, it may leave you feeling like you’ll never see spring again.
So for those folks who yearn to feel the sun on their backs and the grass between their toes, receiving a gift intended for the great outdoors may just be the ticket to cheer them up!

Functional Décor:
Does your home sometimes feel like Grand Central Station? This handsome, indoor/outdoor, double-sided wall clock would be the perfect outdoor living accessory. A vintage reproduction, this wall clock also has a drop-down double-sided thermometer. The classic train station design works with most any décor and will never go out of style.
Dinner’s Ready
Speaking of trains, how easy would it be to call everyone to the table with this pneumatic patio whistle? Inspired by the iconic steam train whistles of yesteryear, this train whistle generates a safe 120 dB without alerting the entire neighborhood. When its cord is pulled and the vinyl bellows inflate with air, it sounds four notes from its pipes that trails off in a classic choo-choo train whine.
