I’m a shopping editor who’s been tirelessly tracking summer’s deepest deals for weeks now, so forgive me if I just wanted to have a little fun today. In my world, that means dressing up my garden. So when I stumbled upon this ever-so-charming porch goose on one of my endless scrolls, I had no choice but to hit “add to cart”—and tell you about it, sale or not.
If you’re wondering about the trend, porch geese were popular in the ‘70s and ‘80s. As a child of the era—and now a homeowner with a garden to decorate—I’m thankful that this is what’s making a comeback. Sit back down, waterbeds!
Getting in on the retro trend is easy; just put the goose on your porch, deck, or in your garden the same way you would any other yard decorations. These days, though, people are naming their geese—I humbly submit Goose Springsteen or Geese Witherspoon for your consideration.
It’s also fun to dress them up! So many adorable outfits and accessories are for sale, it’s hard to choose just one…and then there’s the wigs, which I’ll definitely be buying because it’s exactly the level of silliness I need right now. Best of all, you can give your new Tom Honks (another good name for you) a themed outfit for July 4th, Halloween, Christmas, and beyond. The joy never ends with this guy! Just make sure you get the right size. One more thing to note: The goose is hollow, but there’s a fillable base for adding sand to weigh it down and keep it steady.
Grab a new porch goose for yourself or as a fun gift for someone else. Name it Stevie Chicks (you’re welcome). And if you’re on a wild goose chase (last one, promise) for outdoor garden and decor deals, here are a few that caught my eye today.
