If you so happen to be well off enough to actually own a swimming pool in your home, then to pick and choose the various accessories for it would make plenty of sense. After all, swimming lap after lap in it can get boring after a while, unless you are on some sort of strict training regime. Having said that, you might want to check out this particularly useful add-on for your swimming pool, the $4,000 Solar Powered Entertainment Lounger.

The Solar Powered Entertainment Lounger’s name says it all – this particular motorized reclining lounge chair will come with its fair share of built-in misters to help you keep nice and cool even in the sweltering heat, while the integrated speakers would work well in letting you chill out to your latest songs. If your water-resistant device happens to be running low on juice, fret not – there is a USB charging port that will help you out, where the entire shebang is powered by harnessing the power of the sun. A pair of 24″ x 6″ solar panels that are located on each side of the chair’s base will provide power for all the extensive entertainment features, while there is a control pad on the left armrest which offers simple push-button operation of a quiet hydraulic lift that will gently recline or raise the back. The fingertip-adjustable nozzles atop each armrest will also be able to emit a refreshing mist. Now this is definitely living it up in style.

Going out to the great outdoors and roughing it is not everyone’s cup of tea, and I do admit that more and more people would prefer to spend their holidays or free time at cities and theme parks rather than the peaceful environment outdoors. Others prefer to remain glued to the TV during the entire summer holidays, whether it is watching movies or playing with video games. When was the last time you actually saw the different constellations light up the night sky? Perhaps you and your kids can come to a compromise when camping with the £249.99 Bang Bang solar powered tent.

The Bang Bang is touted to be the first solar powered tent in the world, where it will be able to harvest the power of the sun’s rays throughout the day, storing up precious energy in its battery so that it can be used to charge up various devices even when the nearest building with a power outlet is a good hundred miles away. Made out of lightweight and highly durable materials, the Bang Bang solar powered tent would arrive in two striking printed patterns – “Fool on the Hill” or “Woodstock”. Each tent is large enough to sleep four people comfortably, so let its built-in 5W solar panel do the hard work of juicing your smatphone, laptop, digital camera battery and speakers among others.

I know that during the summer months, there is nothing quite like the feeling of letting the sun’s warmth and light bathe your entire body, especially after one has gone through an extremely miserable and cold winter. Well, getting sunlight all over your body is fine and all, but there is a risk of overdoing it. For those who feel that they prefer to remain under the sun, but not having its rays shine directly on their bodies, here is the $39.95 Portable Clamp-On Sun Umbrella that offers adequate shade from the sun’s rays.

The Portable Clamp-On Sun Umbrella does as it is named, being able to clamp onto majority of the furniture frames out there, being able to provide just about any angle of sun protection. It also boasts of a sturdy nylon/glass filament, rubber-lined clamp that will be able to secure itself swiftly to both tubular and square outdoor furniture frames. It does not matter if it is faced with patio chairs, beach loungers, picnic tables, and portable camp chairs, it does all of those without an issue.

In a time where we need to manage our money very carefully as to not end up at the poverty line, it pays to be efficient. There’s no point in turning up the heat too much when it’s cold out, blasting the AC, or letting a sprinkler run for an entire day. We want to use just enough of everything so that we don’t have astronomical bills, and can keep up our appearances of maintaining a household without overdoing it.

Of course, very few of us have the time to micromanage every little aspect of our homes. If you like having a pristine looking yard, then you likely use a sprinkler system. If you wished your water bill could be reduced without having to water everything manually, then you might like the Droplet Sprinkler. This will water the yard for you with precise, articulated movements without watering a sidewalk or patch of grass that doesn’t actually need it.

This system is very pricey at $300, but it’s one of those purchases that will pay for itself after prolonged use. After plugging this in and hooking it up to your garden hose, you can tell it via smartphone, tablet, or PC what kind of plants are in your yard. From there, it will use its own discretion to keep your plants alive. Seeing that is pulls from over 10,000 weather stations online data, it will know when, where, and how much water to deliver. As this is so precise, it will also be able to single out potted plants as well.

All right, you might not be as rich as Michael Jackson back in his heydays before his life began to be plagued with numerous issues, financial ones included, but this does not mean that he did not have his fair share of fun when he was still alive. If I am not mistaken, his Neverland Ranch is truly a place of wonder and amazement, especially to the little ones out there. After all, who does not want an amusement park right in his or her very own backyard? You can also own a semblance of that with the $23,000 Amusement Park Ride-On Railroad from Hammacher.

Sure, you would need a pretty large backyard in order to enjoy this particular installation on your home’s grounds, not to mention being rather well off to part with such a sum right from the get go, but then again you do not need to be a multi-millionaire or a megastar in order to do so. The Amusement Park Ride-On Railroad happens to be a 1:8 scale ride-on electric train set which creates a backyard railroad, including the ones inspired by the types found in iconic amusement parks of yesteryear. An adult driver will sit atop the 18″-high tender, where he or she controls the locomotive’s speed, forward/reverse throttle, and regenerative anti-lock brakes with a pair of passengers in the 65″ L x 17″ W gondola car in front of a trailing caboose.
