What’s to love:

Working outside, at the pool or for a party on the patio, the tunes will keep on playing with this portable Bluetooth sound system with a high efficiency solar panel.

Wirelessly stream music from any Bluetooth-capable device such as a smart phone or MP3 player. Fully charged, the sound system has eight hours of playing time. It charges when exposed to sunlight or when using the included AC adapter. It has a USB port allowing you to charge your mobile devices, comes in white, black or bright green and sells for $150.

Wooster Paint Bucket

What’s to love: Holds much more paint than a tray. Eliminates the routine of paint a bit, pour paint in the tray, wipe up the drips, paint some more, pour some more, etc. What does it do: It is a sturdy plastic bucket that makes painting a large area much easier. One side of the square-ish bucket is a slanted roll-off area. Handles make the buckets easier to move than a paint tray. The four-gallon bucket sells for $14.41 and has an optional lid you can buy for $6.69.
