Any homeowner understands the unspoken rivalry between neighbors — specifically when it comes to maintaining the best front lawn on the block. Everyone wants to have the nicest yard, but unfortunately, not all can. Fortunately, YOU can be the unofficial king or queen of your neighborhood with some simple lawn care and intelligent decorating. Yes, decorating. Don’t fret, however, a few lawn ornaments can help ensure that your home sticks out from the rest. Even if you’re not a homeowner, having some fun decorations outside can’t hurt. Lawn ornaments, in particular, give your home a little character, so let’s look at some potential options for those looking to jazz up their front yard.
Funniest Lawn Ornament
It’s pretty safe to say that traditional lawn gnomes are tacky, if not downright creepy. If you’re not a huge fan of them — or have had some traumatizing Gnome-related experiences playing “World of Warcraft”— you’d probably love this Hilarious Lawn Gnome Godzilla from BigMouth Inc. Dubbed “The Great Garden Gnome Massacre,” this 9-inch tall lawn ornament is perfect for anybody with a sense of humor and hatred for gnomes. It’s weather-proof, so you don’t have to worry about it getting ruined in inclimate weather. There’s also plenty of other BigMouth Inc. comical lawn ornaments to collect, so if you want to be the de-facto funniest person on the block, you can try to purchase all of them. This one, however, is the best of the best.
Best Lawn Ornament for a Garden
For those who have made a concerted effort to grow a beautiful garden and/or flower setup, you’re probably going to want something that better accentuates your plants. This Amish Wagon Decorative Indoor/Outdoor Garden Backyard Planter from Collections Etc. will do just that. Made of both wood and iron, this is a durable, yet eloquent lawn ornament that can help better display your flower collection. During winter months, you can choose to leave it outside as a flowerless, yet still aesthetically pleasing lawn decoration, or bring it inside and continue to house plants. Either way, it’s a great-looking, versatile yard ornament.
Best Light-Up Lawn Ornament
If you’re looking for something a little less subtle and a little more flashy, this Set of Three LED Color Changing Solar Stake Lights from Bright Zeal presents an enticing option. These solar-powered 2.5′ tall LED garden stake lights look great throughout the day, but they really shine at night when they light up. They’re weather-resistant, easy-to-install, and can last up to eight hours after a full solar charge, making them a vivid, inexpensive, and hands-off light-up lawn ornament that will have your neighbors “green” with envy (nailed it).
