Why does “roughing it” have to be so – well, rough? If we’re going to sleep on the ground somewhere, we’d like to do it in style with this Scout Field Bed.
Made from organic Italian denim and luxurious Japanese chambray, this portable wonder sounds more posh than a night at the Four Seasons. Just don’t call it a sleeping bag. Available at makr.com for only $487
Since tequila has a way of rendering its drinker immobile after a few shots, make sure you bust out your Patrón on the Tequila Board Buffet. The board has cutout spots for your liquor, glasses, salt, and lime. It also comes with a small cutting board and a paring knife for quartering up your citrus before using it as a chaser. Cleanup the next day ought to be a breeze. Just nurse your hangover, dump everything in the sink, and take care of it only after a full day of watching Say Yes to the Dress in your PJs.

You know what makes getting out of bed more bearable? Warm towels after a morning shower. But it doesn’t matter how many times we ask our sweeties to toss our towels in the dryer and deliver them to us all fluffy and warm, they just never do it. So we’ve switched up our tactics and now we’re just asking for this Towel Dryer and Warmer. And we’ve pointed out that the frequency of sexy shower time will go up if we know there’s a warm towel waiting for us. Available at vintagetub.com for only $118
We’ll admit, the newly-launched Starbucks Verismo is a bit on the expensive side. But when we think about how much cash we spend having the baristas froth our lattes each morning, the price tag starts looking more and more worth it. We can make café-quality coffee, espresso, or lattes all by pushing a button. Maybe we should brew a buncha drinks and start a Starbucks franchise out of our homes! We kid, Starbucks reps, lest you come hunt us down for brand infringement! Available at surlatable.com for only $200
We’ll admit it: when it comes to our babies, we’re germ snobs. Our own at-home germs are fine, but we’d rather not have our offspring licking the floors of strangers. That’s why we do our visiting with this PeaPod Plus Baby Travel Bed. In folded-up form, it’s compact and easy to carry – always a plus – but easily expands to create a plush nest. Available at onestepahead.com for only $90
Our special mushroom-tea-drinking days may be long behind us, but we still like to try to get in touch with our psychedelic side every once in a while. We’re pretty sure we could zone ourselves out to someplace interesting with nothing more than this Full Moon Party Copper Fire Dome.

We always thought we’d be perfect for the part of the corpse in any movie involving a morgue scene. Throw a sheet over the rest of us, drop the temperature down to sixty-five degrees or lower, and our feet will turn a gruesome shade of purple without a touch of makeup required. All that crappy circulation means we find ourselves in need of some seriously toasty footwear once the thermometer starts nose-diving, which is why we’re picking up a pair of these Chip Ahko Blanket Boots. Their wooliness should keep us from losing any toes while we shovel out the driveway. Available at lorisshoes.com for only $225
