A reusable sandwich bag that folds open into a plate, which means fewer crumbs escaping onto the table. Sure, this is a great idea for children considering how they tend to eat, but it’s also a great idea for people like me who appreciate having a little eating zone to corral my snacks into. If you want a mini charcuterie board to graze on while you're sitting in the park on a sunny day, this is the perfect thing to throw in your bag., The bag is made from BPA-free, food-grade platinum silicone and folds shut for compact storage. It's also dishwasher safe, dries quickly, and can even go in the freezer for meal prep.Promising review: "This is a great item. I have used it for sandwiches, leftover chicken, fried rice, etc. Just loosen the seal, and it is great to heat your food in the microwave without using another dish. I have not tried it with anything liquid. I am not sure how well that would work. The thing that sets it apart from similar items of other brands is that it completely opens out flat, and is easily cleaned in the dishwasher and easy to dry. I don't have to leave it on some type of stand overnight to dry. Highly recommend." — Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in six colors, including two-packs and a bundle with a smaller snack bag). A set of penguin-shaped wool dryer balls ready to replace hundreds of dryer sheets as they tumble around your laundry like they're on a tiny Arctic adventure. Made from cruelty-free New Zealand wool, these reusable dryer balls can last for more than 1,000 loads and help naturally soften clothes, reduce wrinkles, tame static, and even shorten drying times.Friendsheep is a small business specializing in plastic-free wool products that are handcrafted in Nepal with sustainability and ethical production in mind.Promising review: "The static here is so bad, and we have terribly hard water. Clothes come out staticky and rough. Typically I would toss in five dryer sheets a load to make the clothes feel soft and to keep static at bay, but when the weather is dry like this, we often use liquid softener AND sheets. So, although some people may think — oh, she used a sheet... that's cheating! — you will have better perspective on where our laundry is starting off before moving over to these woolen balls. In the few loads I ran this weekend, I used no liquid, and a single sheet + these six balls to dry and the clothes came out softer than I have ever felt them and not a lick of static. As I walk around the house — not in stocking feet — I am shocking my sweet boyfriend every time I touch him or we hug, but these loads of laundry came out static free! I am in awe!" — Call of KthaliaGet them from Amazon for $21+ (available in sets of three or six and a variety of designs, including penguins, honeybees, soot sprites, and more). A koi-print cotton gift wrap so pretty that everyone will ask you where you bought it before even wondering what's inside. Plus, the idea of one piece of fabric being passed from person to person, wrapping gift after gift until someone inevitably claims it as a cute scarf, is kind of beautiful.Amazon, Inspired by a tradition that's more than 1,300 years old, this washable furoshiki cloth offers an eco-friendlier alternative to single-use wrapping paper. The durable fabric also has stitched edges to help prevent fraying, so it can keep making the rounds for years to come.Promising review: "This piece of cloth is absolutely beautiful! The vibrant shades of orange on the white koi against the jet black background highlighted with streaks of gold and flecks of silver is a work of art. The fabric is 100% cotton with a raised textured weave. I'm seriously thinking about having it mounted and framed to complement my other Asian art. You will not be disappointed." — G McCallGet it from Amazon for $8.49.A pair of reusable under-eye masks that'll have you lying on the couch, feeling like you're at an expensive spa. Pop them into the fridge for a delightfully chilly depuffing session or wear them over your favorite eye cream to really lock in those actives. They'll let you cosplay as someone who hydrates like a camel and gets eight hours of sleep every night., Amazon, These patches are fragrance-free, made from medical-grade silicone, and are gentle enough for sensitive skin. They also come in a cute purple metal tin.Promising review: "I use these for the wrinkle between my eyebrows on my forehead. I was using the disposable adhesive ones, which work well, but the adhesive was starting to give me a rash... I had some concern that the stickiness would wear off after maybe 10 uses (what the company claims), but I've used the same pair for waaay more than 10 times. As long as you wash them with a non-moisturizing soap, the stickiness doesn't seem to wear off. I'm happy that this feels like a sustainable product and works well." — LaLaLaGet it from Amazon for $14.99.A pair of Loop earplugs capable of drowning out a snoring partner, an oddly energetic upstairs neighbor, or one of those people who insist on playing their music out loud on the subway, because some of us don't want to listen to EDM at 8 a.m. on a Tuesday, Jim. BUT if near-total silence isn't your thing, Loop offers other versions designed for conversations or concerts that reduce background noise without muting everything around you., The soft silicone earplugs reduce noise by up to 24 decibels and come with four ear tip sizes. They're also comfortable enough for side-sleepers and come with a portable carrying case. Promising review: "I've tried every type of earplug on the market, and the Loop Quiet 2s are by far the most comfortable I've ever worn — including for sleep. I'm a side sleeper and was worried they'd dig into my ear, but they stay surprisingly comfortable all night long. They do occasionally fall out during sleep, which is my only real gripe, but it's a minor one. Noise-wise, they do exactly what I need. I can no longer hear my husband's CPAP machine or our dogs snoring, which means I'm actually getting restful sleep for the first time in ages. They block out most everyday noise without sealing you off from the world completely — I can still hear loud alerts like a smoke detector going off, which was honestly a dealbreaker requirement for me from a safety standpoint. It's a really smart balance." — Molly AdamsGet it from Amazon for $35.95 (available in three colors).A set of cheerful fruit-print bowl covers to turn storing leftovers into an activity that's weirdly adorable and slightly reminiscent of putting little hats on your dishes. The set includes 10 machine-washable covers in five different sizes, so you'll likely have one for whatever random container needs a lid. Promising review: "These have fit every bowl I've needed them to and a few odd-shaped containers as well. I love that if food gets on them, I can rinse them off and either hand wash or add them to a gentle cycle load in the washer. They keep bugs out of pitchers/glasses and opened cans that need to be put in the fridge temporarily. They have already proven to be a good investment." — CO SunriseGet the 10-piece set from Amazon for $14.99 (available in dozens of other designs).A summer-themed set of makeup-removing cloths that'll have you side-eyeing your stack of disposable wipes, because these little pads can remove everything from foundation to waterproof mascara using nothing but water. The cloths feature a dual-sided design for cleansing and light exfoliation, and they're made from ultra-soft microfiber that's gentle enough for all skin types. One set can help cut down on years' worth of disposable wipes and save you some serious moolah.MakeUp Eraser, MakeUp EraserEach set comes with a pouch, seven pads, and one laundry bag. Promising review: "I was skeptical at first, but this reusable makeup remover cloth truly lives up to its name — it erases makeup with just warm water and zero harsh chemicals. I’ve tried silicone pads, wipes, and oil cleansers, but nothing has been as simple, effective, and gentler on my skin as this cloth." — Brittany EngebretsonGet it from Amazon for $28 (available in a variety of colors and prints).A set of color-changing ice cubes to add some razzle-dazzle to every drink without diluting it on a hot summer day. They're made from food-grade materials and can be reused again and again with a quick wash and refreeze. What's better than a chilled mojito? One with a dash of whimsy., Because the cubes don't melt, your iced coffee, mocktail, cocktail, or soda stays cold without slowly morphing into a weaker version of itself. The colder the cubes are, the brighter their colors become (and vice versa). They can also be used to make your own reusable ice packs!Promising review: "I have bought different versions of these from Amazon and they alway gave my drink a weird taste. This the first product that did not change the flavor of my drink. They do not seem to take any longer to freeze then regular water ice cubes but they last so much longer for me. Now I do use a thermal insulated cup but I can go up to 12 hours in heat with these cubes and they still keep my drinks cold." — Joshua FoxGet it from Amazon for $15.99.A pocket-size pack of reusable tissues that'll make you realize the humble handkerchief simply had a branding problem. The cotton tissues pull out from the bottom like regular tissues and tuck back into the top behind a silicone barrier after use. Each cotton tissue can be washed and reused up to 520 times, and one pack can replace more than 3,000 single-use tissues and their plastic packaging. The silicone case is also dishwasher safe and fully recyclable, should you ever decide to part ways with it.Amazon, AmazonPromising review: "I would highly recommend this product. The tissues are good quality cotton with tight well-sewn hems but that's not what makes Last Tissue so special. Any well-made hanky would perform like these tissues. The game changer is the case. The silicone case is durable and washable and provides a place to store a used tissue. THAT'S what's so great about this product. The sticking point for me with hankies was always that after you use it, it goes back in your pocket. With Last Tissue, the used tissue is going in the case and there's a silicone tab to keep the used tissue from the clean ones. My nose is much happier too. Disposable tissues deposit lint in your nose, that's why they're so irritating and why you should never use them to clean your glasses. They're scratchy. Last Tissue is very soft and my nose is less runny now that it's not constantly being irritated with disposable tissues." — Panda SelivanovGet it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in six colors).A silicone baking mat with a corgi on it made to save you from sticky dough, countless sheets of parchment paper, and repeatedly googling measurement conversions with flour-covered hands while making oatmeal raisin cookies (don't hate). The food-grade silicone mat is dishwasher safe, heat resistant, and flexible enough to roll up or hang between uses. It also comes with a bench scraper, which is handy for dividing dough and cleaning up your counter afterward. Amazon, Promising review: "I have been struggling to find a surface to roll out my dough. I have tried other silicone mats and then chased them around the counter. Tried on the counter, tried in a pan. FINALLY broke down and bought this mat and I cannot say enough good things about it. It is nice and big, does not move when rolling out dough and it is cute to look at. Washed up beautifully. THIS mat is worth every penny, wish I would have bought is sooner instead of struggling like I was." — BeverlyGet it from Amazon for $9.49 (available in two colors and three sizes).A genius Rocketbook planner and notebook for anyone whose organizational system currently consists of sticky notes, random receipts, and blind optimism. Write down your plans, scan them into the cloud, then wipe the pages clean after your schedule inevitably goes off the rails. This hybrid "smart" notebook includes seven page layouts, including monthly and weekly calendars, to-do lists, goal trackers, idea pages, and both lined and dotted paper., Each Rocketbook comes with a waterproof cover, a Pilot Frixion pen with erasable ink, a microfiber cloth, and seven page templates. You can also upload your notes to cloud services like Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneNote via the companion app.Promising review: "I was burdened by all the filled notebooks that I needed to keep, just in case I needed to refer back to my work notes. It's hard to find something you know might be in there without knowing where it might be. Enter Rocketbook. I can scan my notes (with some corrections), and if I need something, Windows can find it. I tested this feature after accumulating a couple of weeks' worth of notes (saving each day as a separate file) and then asked Windows to find a particular phrase. It worked beautifully and found many instances of that phrase — one I didn't even remember writing down. At the bottom of every page are seven icons. You can program them to be locations to where you want your scanned pages to go and what actions you want taken. For instance, I have two set up for personal notes/scans — one for email and one to go to my G-drive — both with scanning. If you were in school and part of a study group, you could make one of the icons go to a group email or to a group accessible cloud storage. The versatility here is endless." — Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in seven colors and two sizes, letter or executive).A collapsible menstrual cup that'll save you money, reduce waste, and somehow manage to fit an entire period-management system into something about the size of a macaron. Seriously, this thing FOLDS into an itty-bitty case. It's marketed for beginner and experienced cup users alike, includes a removal loop, and offers a surprisingly high capacity despite its petite size. Amazon, , Made from medical-grade silicone, the cup is free of BPA, phthalates, and bleaches, and features a double rim designed to pop open more easily and help prevent leaks.Promising review: "I tried the Diva Cup about 10 years ago and failed miserably with it and went back to tampons. Well, if this genius cup had been around back then, I would have spared myself THOUSANDS of leaks from super OB tampon use! HERE'S WHAT I LOVE: It's leak free! No kidding! Super tampons have nothing on this! It's WAAAAY SMALLER. I'm nearly 40 with no pregnancies and it's not too small, in fact, I'd say if it were any bigger, it wouldn't fit. Diva Cup was way too big even with trimming that stem and eventually even trying to use it inside out to make it smaller, which gave ZERO grip in trying to get that bugger out! 🤦♀️ It has no stupid stem that I could never get a grip on, the ring makes it so much easier to wiggle it down! It's rigid enough to stay in place during bowel movements, but soft enough that I don't feel it in. And, the color hides staining." — Consumer ReviewGet it from Amazon for $26.95 (you may need to click "see all buying options").A pack with five pairs of period underwear for anyone who read the previous menstrual cup recommendation and immediately thought, "Respectfully, absolutely not." These look and feel like regular underwear but can absorb the equivalent of up to three tampons' worth of flow., They feature leak protection in both the front and back and are cotton-lined to help keep a pad securely in place on heavier-flow days. They're also designed to withstand repeated washing and drying for years of reuse.Promising review: "I have never had period panties before as a 20-something, but from a medicine change for three months, I had nearly constant (unpredictably heavy or light) periods after previously having abnormally infrequent ones and needed to figure out a way to keep hanging out with friends. Frequently, we would hike or hang for hours without breaks; it was an absolute nightmare. I read online about period panties and cups before and thought they sounded gross or scary, being unfamiliar myself with these products. On the edge of my rope and looking at tons of money possibly having to be spent on tampons and pads, I bought these, and no joke, they have been a lifesaver. They hold so much blood! Like I have had one leak in the three months of non-stop periods — one! Literally saved me more money than they cost and made me feel normal and comfortable in an absolutely terrible time in my life last year." — Paint PleaseGet five pairs from Amazon for $34.99 (available in women's sizes XXS–4XL and in packs of neutrals and prints).A Grim Reaper tea infuser so you can have a tiny cloaked figure dangling from your mug by his scythe while he steeps your next cup of tea. It also happens to make an excellent gift for tea drinkers with a slightly spooky sense of humor., The reusable silicone infuser offers an eco-friendlier alternative to disposable tea bags and is easy to clean with either a quick rinse or a trip through the dishwasher. Promising review: "Let me just say it: This little Grim Reaper is the grim MVP of my kitchen. I bought the 'Grim Steeper' on a whim because who doesn’t want their tea steeped by the literal embodiment of death, right? Well, color me pleasantly surprised — this thing is not just hilarious, it’s also shockingly functional. First off: The silicone is high quality. Flexible, durable, and oddly huggable (if death ever needed a hug). The lid stays on tight so your loose tea doesn’t escape and ruin your vibe. The holes are perfect — not so big your leaves float out like rebellious spirits, and not so small it doesn’t steep properly. This baby knows its job and does it with sinister precision. And let’s talk about the aesthetic. I dropped him into my glass tea carafe and my boyfriend burst out laughing. There he was — my little skeletal friend just chillin’ at the bottom like he’s contemplating the meaning of life while steeping a solid cup of black tea. It’s giving gothic tea party, it’s giving adorably macabre, it’s giving 'till death do us steep.' If you drink tea and have even the slightest sense of humor (or a taste for the dark side), do yourself a favor and let the Grim Steeper haunt your mug. You’ll be dying for another cup." — BatwomanGet it from Amazon for $16.96.A reusable Skoy scrubber that'll have you questioning why we've collectively accepted replacing sponges every few weeks when this little guy can simply be washed and put back into service. It's made from repurposed cotton fibers from the toweling industry and can replace both scrub sponges and scouring pads. They also come in a black-and-white version, if you're feeling emo or monochromatic chic., Promising review: "I made cheeseburgers one afternoon, which put a cooked-on layer of cooked-on greasy residue in my 10-inch Lodge cast-iron pan. I put in a tiny squeeze of dishwashing liquid and added some very hot water. I picked up the Skoy pad, and started scrubbing. And that cooked on stuff came right off of the bottom of the pan. Like, immediately. I was surprised at how quickly this little flat colorful furry plastic thing had banished the layer of crusty crud without me needing to scrub hard, or for very long. It was almost like magic how fast the pan got clean. I rinsed out the skillet, and I couldn't clearly see the bottom because of the suds. 'I bet this scrubber didn't get everything off of the pan,' I mused cynically. After the next rinse, I could see that the bottom of the pan was indeed completely clean. No clinging, cooked-on meat residue; no lingering unseen, but could be felt, layers of grease. And while this little wonder pad had gotten the pan really clean, I discovered it had not removed the seasoning layer. Fantastic! When one little thing goes really well, it it just seems to make life better." — Laughing SalGet a pack of four from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in a monochromatic style and other pack sizes).A ChomChom fur remover so effective that it'll have you asking, "Where did all of this hair even come from?" as it fills its hidden compartment with enough fur to assemble an entirely new pet. This thing is a HUGE hit with pet owners, with a 4.5 rating after nearly 205,000 reviews! Unlike traditional lint rollers, this tool doesn't use sticky tape or adhesives, can be emptied with the push of a button, and can be used again and again. It's designed to tackle pet hair on furniture, rugs, pillows, carpets, and even car seats., Promising review: "I tried everything. My full-size vacuum with attachments? Nope. My handheld Black & Decker? Nothing. Packing tape? Useless. I was honestly starting to panic because I have an important home visit coming up and didn’t want anyone leaving with cat hair all over a nice outfit. I even considered replacing or reupholstering the stools. Out of desperation, I ordered the ChomChom roller. It arrived about 20 minutes before I needed it, and I immediately put it to work. I’ll admit — after everything else failed, I was skeptical. But within minutes (less than eight for all four stools), they looked brand new. I wish I had taken before-and-after photos because the difference was unbelievable. It works like the 'Magic Eraser' of pet hair. You roll it back and forth with a little elbow grease, and it just pulls the hair up and traps it inside. When you’re done, you press the button, empty the chamber, and there it is — all the fur you didn’t think would budge. It’s weirdly satisfying." — Samara SantGet it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in black and white, plus cat- and dog-themed versions).A set of reusable water balloons that'll let kids have an epic water fight without leaving behind 7,000 tiny latex fragments for you to pick up afterward. These magnetic silicone balloons snap shut, refill in seconds, and can be immediately reused by the kiddos for another battle. Of course, it's good fun for grown-ups too, if your heart desires!, , They come with a mesh storage bag and make a great gift for birthdays, pool parties, and summer parties. Promising review: "Ah — proof that humanity has taken water balloon fights to a whole new level of eco-friendly mayhem. These little rubbery wonders might not look like much, but once you throw them into the fray, they become the unsung heroes of your backyard shenanigans, or the cause of regrettable wet chaos that will have you questioning your life choices for the next few hours. First off, let’s talk about the reusability — because nothing says 'I’m an adult, I’ve got my life together' like having a stash of water balloons that don’t turn into sad, deflated puddles of latex after one toss. You can literally fill them, throw them, pick them up, and throw them again like some sort of sick water bomb boomerang. Seriously, it's like a party that never ends, except with fewer cleanup headaches (unless you’re the one who keeps getting soaked). The filling process? Far superior to your standard water balloon nightmare. These things have a nice wide opening that makes you wonder why anyone ever bothered tying single-use balloons in the first place. No more frustration — just dunk and go. If you’re looking for sustainable, ridiculously fun backyard chaos that you can reuse, rinse, and repeat, then these water bomb balloons are the ultimate weapon in your summer arsenal. — GignerGet a set of 16 from Amazon for $33.99 (also available in other pack sizes).A metal safety razor designed to deliver a close shave while helping reduce skin irritation, ingrown hairs, and the mountain of plastic cartridges many of us have collectively gone through over the years. This razor has five corrosion-resistant stainless-steel blades, with each individually wrapped for safe handling. Since you only need to replace the blades themselves, the ongoing cost of shaving can be surprisingly low. P.S. Safety razors look intimidating and have a slight learning curve, but they have a cult following for good reason! With proper care, the handle itself can last a lifetime., Promising review: "I love how eco friendly this razor is since disposable ones end up in our landfill but have a hard time decomposing. Not only that it shaves super easily and sleek but BE WARNED that if you make any slight horizontal movement you can cut yourself so be cautious. It’s my first time using a razor like this and I haven’t cut myself accidentally. 100% buy if you want a lifetime razor, to help the environment, and a fresh clean shave every time." — Belinda BeatoGet it from Amazon for $17.40+ (available in eight colors and with or without a stand).A refillable cleaning kit built around one kid-and-pet-safe concentrated formula for your counters, bathroom, glass, and laundry, because apparently, we don't actually need a separate plastic bottle for every surface known to humankind, just water and ratios. The kit includes five labeled bottles with built-in fill lines and mixing instructions, plus oxygen booster powder and a reusable scoop, so you can whip up perfectly diluted solutions to tackle any stubborn stain. Amazon, The plant-based concentrate is free of phthalates, parabens, and fragrances, and uses natural ingredients like chamomile flower extract and baking soda to deliver powerful cleaning without toxic chemicals.

After that, you can just keep refilling and reusing! Promising review: "I have been very happy with my Branch Basics kit! I was thoroughly impressed by the powder combined with the all-purpose spray- I was able to remove deep baked-on layers from my stainless steel pan that I thought were there forever. So happy to have a formula I can use for everything around the house, and not have to be worried about toxic ingredients." — Greg PlylerGet it from Amazon for $75+ (available in both reusable plastic and glass bottles).A microwave popcorn popper that'll have you making fresh popcorn in under three minutes and feeling like the main character in a scary movie who's settling in for the night and definitely not about to answer the phone. All you have to do is add some kernels, microwave for three minutes or less, and enjoy up to 3 quarts of popcorn without the mystery ingredients found in many prepackaged bags. Its lid also doubles as a measuring cup and butter melter., The BPA-free popper has an ergonomic handle and is thermal-shock resistant. FYI, it's only for microwaves with turntables.Promising review: "I love this little Popcorn Popper. I don't want to use any oil doing it the traditional way on the stovetop. It is very hard to find the no-butter kind of microwavable bags in the store, not to mention the price! I eat a lot of popcorn now with this microwaveable pot. I use spray butter after it is put into the bowl. My husband uses the top of the container, which is made for putting the butter on and it melts right on to the popcorn. We can have our own popcorn just the way we want it." — EileenGet a 3-quart popper from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in six colors and a smaller 1.5-quart size).A set of four beeswax wraps so you can ditch a whole lot of plastic wrap while making your leftovers look like they belong in a charming cottage kitchen. Your half an avocado and leftover Gouda deserve something more sophisticated than a sheet of cling wrap that'll someday be impossible to peel off. The set also comes with beeswax bars to refresh the wraps if you ever need to., The biodegradable wraps resist fraying and can simply be trimmed if they ever start to. They also come with a reusable produce bag and can be cleaned with cool water and a small amount of mild soap before being hung to dry.Promising review: "If you are trying to move away from plastic use, these are a good way to start. They are reusable, can be washed, and when wrapped around a sandwich, can add a little whimsy to your lunch. Your sandwich won't dry out. The mesh bag is handy for produce and a good size. The button with string on the two larger cloths are an added bonus. It makes it easier to secure. I will be buying more of these. I use the smaller ones to keep my grating cheese (Parmesan, Romano). It keeps it fresh and it doesn't dry out. It smells like beeswax and that's it. I have used mine many times since I got them and they are still good." — JoanneGet the set from Amazon for $14.99.A roll of reusable paper towels to let you enjoy the convenience of reaching for a paper towel while reducing waste and having something pretty to look at while you do it. These soft cotton flannel towels even roll back onto the included cardboard tube just like the real thing.Padtastic / EtsyThe towels measure about 10 by 12 inches, making them suitable for everything from drying dishes to cleaning countertops.

And I'm glad I'm not wasting as many paper towels." — KatieGet a set from Padtastic on Etsy for $16.15+ (available in sets of 12 or 24, a sample set of four, six print themes, or a surprise print mix).Or a more minimalist option for anyone who wants to use reusable towels but prefers they don't look too arts-and-craftsy. These lint- and streak-free microfiber cloths can absorb up to five times their weight in water, and you can wash them up to 50 times., Promising review: "Calling these microfiber towels rags does not do them justice! There is little that they cannot clean. They work equally well on your car tires and your fine porcelain. They do not scratch and they do not leave any lint behind. They are also super absorbent. According to the manufacturer, these can be washed and dried and reused up to 50 times each. Do not use bleach as that will degrade the towel. Also, don’t use fabric softener because it will make them less absorbent. Reusing these 50 times would make them the equivalent of 2,000 paper towels! We use a top-rated brand of paper towels in our home and 2,000 sheets of those would cost almost $64. That’s almost three times the cost of these 'eco-friendly' towels. They are a bargain that you can feel good about. "UPDATE: If I could give this product 10 stars, I would. I have had the roll for about a year and initially took off about ten of the towels before storing the rest. We use them every day for kitchen clean up and they are washed after each use. One year later and I am still using the initial 10. Awesome product!" — EmeeGet it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in eight colors and in rolls of 40, 60, or 90 sheets).An all-in-one baby food pouch station to help you make homemade purées and fill reusable pouches without turning your kitchen into a Jackson Pollock painting made entirely of sweet potatoes. The "system" includes five pouches and an anti-splash filling tube for considerably less mess. But if you're only interested in pouches, these are a good option., The filling station combines filling, pressing, and dispensing into one gadget, so there are fewer pieces to juggle during meal prep. The BPA-free pouches are also dishwasher safe, freezer safe, and portable for on-the-go snacking. Promising review: "Right, listen — this baby food packet maker is an absolute dream. I’m used to gadgets that promise the world and deliver pure chaos, but this thing? It actually works. It’s so easy to use it practically shouts, 'Calm down, chef, I’ve got this!' You steam, you blend, you squeeze — done. No fuss, no drama, no ingredients flying across the counter like a food fight. The packets fill smoothly without spilling everywhere, which is a miracle in itself. And cleaning it? Simple. Fast. Almost suspiciously painless. Honestly, if every kitchen tool worked this effortlessly, I’d have far fewer reasons to yell. Brilliant bit of kit — makes baby food prep faster than you can say, 'It’s raw!' but in this case… It’s perfectly smooth and ready for the little one. Absolutely recommend it. Bon appétit, baby! 👶🍐" — Marty RobinsonGet it from Amazon for $20.47+ (available in two colors, with additional reusable pouches sold separately). A set of Swedish dishcloths that arrive looking more like greeting cards than cleaning supplies, then magically puff up into sponge-like cloths once they're wet and dry back down like Shrinky Dinks later (if you know what Shrinky Dinks are, welcome, fellow elder). They take up almost no storage space and can just be tossed in the dishwasher or your next load of laundry when they need a refresh. Each cloth can replace 15–17 ROLLS of paper towels. , They also come in six cute patterns that make cleaning up spilled pasta sauce feel marginally more charming.Promising review: "Bought these on a whim after an ad showed up on my phone. I will say, they are fun and cute, but most impressive that they do not get that nasty wet dishrag smell! I wash in the sink with soap in between uses, then throw in the wash machine for full cleaning. They dry stiff, so in the shape you last left them to dry. I just drape mine over the sink partition. They do absorb well." — M. EggersGet a six-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (available in seven sets of prints).A set of reusable Swiffer pads so you can stop buying disposable refills that somehow always run out or dry up RIGHT when your floors need attention. Each washable pad can replace more than 100 single-use mop sheets., Made from microfiber and chenille, the pads are designed to clean grime and absorb spills without scratching surfaces. They can also be used on hardwood, tile, vinyl, cement, windows, glass, and even kitchen walls.Promising review: "These are fantastic for cleaning walls! I wanted that Chomp wall mop set, but I didn't want to pay for it or have 50 different tools with different accessories and parts that can't be used with anything else. And then you have to spend $100 to get additional pieces so you don't run out of clean covers or whatever else you need as you clean.
