Let's say I had $100k of savings and am not happy with the 1% return I'm getting from the bank. I am very risk averse, but would like to get ~4% return without locking my money up for more than 2-3 years.
This is over simplified, but I have money in other investments - primarily through my 401k. I am just looking for a safe way to earn a little more interest over the next few years until I need some of the money.
Any suggestions that are legal are welcome....

accounting,
I agree with Mike's comment. CD rates are very low, and it's not worth it to extend your maturities. I would avoid bonds, especially long term bonds. You could put money into high yielding blue chips stocks that raise their dividends every single year and yo get the appreciation in the stock price as well.
