Rainy days are kind of annoying because the humidity can make you feel like you're walking in soup. Then again, there's something about a rain shower that's peaceful, relaxing, and even rejuvenating. If you plan to stay indoors and watch it come down through the window, here are 12 things to buy for the perfect rainy day inside.
