Coconut cream? This literally allows you to lick the can clean — it's hard for me to understand why there isn't more hype.

Lets you easily wash a single dish — no excuses from your roommates/housemates.

Double-ended for dry and wet, magnets keep them together in the drawer.

So easy to crush; so easy to clean.

The main thing preventing you from eating soft-boiled eggs out of fancy cups every morning.

Makes so many things quicker and easier.

Probably worth getting a separate one for each space — waterproof for the kitchen and shower, optimizing for speech clarity where you listen to podcasts and base where you don't :P

I literally don't use regular cups at all anymore — a thermal mug keeps milk icy cold, beer frosty, and tea or coffee toasty warm. The general idea: keep your beverage at the perfect temperature longer.

So strong, you can use (and rinse) them as a sponge to clean your whole kitchen while avoiding the negatives of an actual sponge.

Somewhere between a plant and a pet.

Brute strength isn’t needed.

Mugs are surprisingly personal.

Bonus: you can plug it in anywhere, so you can keep cooking smells entirely out of the house if you want.

My family swears by Cerama Bryte

Indoor air pollution isn't really regulated

So easy, so quiet, so satisfying, so transportable

It’s crazy how much I use them

But still worth treating gently.

No more knicked silverware.

(And think about other everyday tools that could serve you better)

(terrible name, brilliant tool)

Stop relegating items to forgotten dark corners.

But three step step-stools are also great.

Dull knives are dangerous knives.

Another domain where the Japanese are crushing it.

Guilt-free soothing. 😌 

Skip the mess.

The overhang is useless.

Like having an extra tentacle that never fatigues. 🐙 

Better to catch it at the source.

A delightful marriage of whimsy and utility.

The lather does the work!

Bonus for decreasing the friction to going outside during inclement weather. In Scandinavia there's a saying "there's no bad weather, only bad clothing."

So comfortable, you'll want to put them on when it's time to wind down from the day.

(I secretly also enjoy them for their intended purpose + coziness)

(I'm sensitive to the itch and also don’t want to own a dozen pairs of wool socks)

I hadn't realized that matching my socks every time I did laundry was something I disliked so much. And I also really like the simplicity in the drawer and in my routine.

Turns out everyone's just been tolerating uncomfortable socks!

Ear muffs, but without the band
