Leslie Corona’s Top Memorial Day Home Deals

Cuisinart BBQ Wood Grill Scraper

Removing the residue from your grill after any barbecue is tedious, but this tool is Corona’s secret to easy maintenance. She says it’s easy to “clean up the grill after your Memorial Day cookout with this wood scraper.” Best of all, “you won’t have to worry about any steel wires shedding from a traditional BBQ brush and ending up in your food!”

MPM Garden Bench

“Gardening doesn’t have to be hard on your knees,” Corona declares. All you need is the right tools, and this multifunctional bench can do plenty. Plus, it folds flat for easy storage. “I love this gardening bench and kneeler because it also holds tools,” she raves. This gadget is crafted from Oxford cloth material and a steel frame, so it’s waterproof and durable.

Cuisinart One-Burner Venture Portable Gas Grill

“Whether you have a teeny backyard patio or just want to take your BBQ on the road, this pint-sized, portable grill is perfect,” according to Corona. The porcelain enamel grate is a breeze to clean and has excellent heat retention, thanks to the cast iron core. “It features a wood top so you have a stable work surface no matter where you are,” she adds. And at 20 pounds, it’s compact enough to take along wherever you go.

Brooklinen Cabana Stripe Beach Towel

Brooklinen’s beach towel is Corona’s favorite. “It’s so soft and high quality—I’ve found most beach towels to be incredibly rough! This one feels like a cozy hug after a long beach day.” There’s no beating the soft cotton texture. The stripe pattern comes in red, blue, green, purple, and yellow to fit your style.

Ruggable Colette Antique Doormat

Corona can’t get enough of this “cute doormat” that “looks like a little antique rug.” “Popping in a new doormat is an easy, affordable way to give your front porch a quick refresh,” she continues. “This one’s actually washable so it’s easy to keep clean.” You can save 15 percent by using the code MDW24 at checkout.

Thermacell Rechargeable Mosquito Repellent

“I always get eaten alive by mosquitos as soon as the weather gets warmer,” Corona confesses. “This Thermacell repellent is an absolute must for any outdoor activities this summer.” Forget the smelly bug sprays; this high-tech mosquito repellent uses an internal repellent activated by heat to create a 20-foot barrier to keep the pesky mosquitos at bay.

Solo Stove Mesa

“A tabletop Solo Stove is such a fun addition for any outdoor entertaining, especially if you live in a home where you can’t install a fire pit,” Corona states. “You’ll look forward to roasting s’mores with friends and family using this smokeless option.” This device also comes in beautiful shades like maroon, navy, green, and even a colorful speckled motif to match your current outdoor decor.
