Push it into the lawn and power a whole holiday display from one outlet.
It's weatherproof (look for IP44 or better), usually has two or more outlets, and often a longer cord. Use it for holiday lights, pond pumps, and patio lights.
Rated plugs handle rain, but point the outlets down and keep them off the ground. Plug them into a GFCI-protected outdoor outlet with an in-use cover.
Outdoor outlets are often far from the router. If your phone has a weak signal where the plug goes, the plug will too. A mesh router or extender fixes that.
