Ahhh, RAIN. Can’t drive on California freeways with it, can’t live without it! Ha! It is common knowledge that once it begins to rain in California, drivers lose their minds and start wailing and weeping. News stations become peppered with “Storm of the Century” alerts. Come on folks, it’s just water, not the seven biblical plagues.

One exceptionally annoying and yes dangerous bi-product of rain is the slippery floors and droplets from umbrellas. Sure we all snicker when some poor sap slips and slides while rushing into a restaurant or department store, but if they really fall it’s quite sad.

Thus, I feel it is my civic duty to recommend that you invest in some sort of umbrella stand. The ceramic umbrella stand I featured is from Lillian Vernon. Fully glazed inside and out to store wet umbrellas— it saves floors from drips and your hips from breaking. It is big enough to house your whole family’s collection of canes, putters and hockey sticks. Plus, it’s kitschy design is very cute.

Costs: $39.98
