Spring is here and it's time think about the essentials -- like how are you going to sit comfortably on those rock hard picnic benches, baseball game grandstands and those excruciatingly uncomfortable iron-reinforced patio chairs your wife/husband/partner insisted you buy last year. The answer? Portable Gel Seats.

Are we joking? A little. Seat cushions probably aren't our #1 priority in preparing for Spring. (That would be buying 1000s of pounds of mulch -- because all our neighbors do -- and storing the unopened bags in our garage.) But, guess what, these high-tech, low maintenance cushions (think Dr. Scholl insole gels, to sit on) actually are really comfortable. They're way lighter than conventional seat cushions. You can take them anywhere. They're water resistant (say goodbye to mold & mildew). And, most importantly & revolutionary, they fit beatifully to the special contours and needs of your butt.
