We love efficiency and getting bang for our buck! So for this year’s spring cleaning and reorganizing we’ve come up with our favorite household goods that pack a lot of purpose. And for an extra bonus, they are minimalist and help you consume less!


OXO Chopper & Scraper 

Chop, scrape, scoop, and measure with this kitchen gadget by OXO. Trust us on this one, it’s like a personal sous chef!


Binder Clips

While binder paper is a bit old school, binder clips are not. Use them for closing snack bags, hanging photos, organizing chargers … you name it and they will keep it together!


Mason Jars

They may be called canning jars but don’t be fooled by their name! Aside from canning and preserving, these mighty containers wear many hats. A vase or water glass? Check! Making salad dressing and storing grains? Check! 


Swiss Army Knife 

Of course we can’t forget the OG of multi function, the Swiss Army Knife. This new wave Cyber Tool has a whopping 39 functions and fits in your pocket!


Microfiber Cloths 

Not only are they washable and reusable, but these microfiber cloths by Mr. Siga will dust, clean, polish, remove stains, dry and more!

 

Do-It-All Soap

Infused with organic peppermint essential oil, you can bathe your body, your house, your pet, your clothes and even your veggies with this magic soap by Dr. Bronner’s.


Urban Market Bags

Disposable bags are out! The everything bags by Urban Market Bags are in! Not only do they look good but they will stay by your side. One small pack will take you shopping, sightseeing, sporting, traveling, and everywhere in between!
