Summer is upon us, and so are the memories of past getaways to far away places, family reunions, and lots of road trips. While vacations like this are a bit more out of reach this summer, the idea of creating new memories doesn’t have to be. We think summer can be a feeling too, and we have designed a few of our home products with that in mind! Since home is such a big part of our lives now, here are a few you can enjoy a your summer with a staycation:
Plant a Garden at Home
Nothing gets you outside and in nature like planting your own produce! Spend some time this summer in your backyard, and reap the rewards in the kitchen! Pro tip: picky eaters may actually think it’s fun to eat the vegetables they grew themselves. Check out ourVifah Malibu Outdoor Plant Standto organize any small plants or herbs.
