This optical illusion spinner looks beautiful on your desktop

Unlike some spinners, this metal ball has a flat base and is designed to sit on your desktop rather than rotate in your hand.

The design of this caddy won’t take up a ton of room, either. A good housewarming gift for new homeowner friends.

These Silicone Lids Mean No More Plastic Wrap

Who better to go to for all of your baby needs than moms themselves? La Petite Creme was made in the USA by two French moms using the traditional French diapering lotion recipe. The formula contains only organic ingredients ensuring the safety of your baby’s sensitive skin, leaving a smooth and shiny layer after application.

I suggest getting both – one for travel and one for the home!

This Speaker Sounds and Looks Beautiful

  via Amazon  

Here’s my spa night: I draw myself a bath infused with epsom salts and essential oils, I turn down the lights, and I hit play on my retro French pop playlist, which streams gently from my iHome bluetooth speaker along with a soothing emanation of colored light, changing from pink to purple to blue to green to yellow. All is right with the world. I particularly love this speaker because it doesn’t look like any other speaker I’ve seen. It’s beautiful and produces great sound.

This Power Bank That’s Oh-So Convenient

  via Amazon  

Something I find invaluable is a device that makes charging on the go feasible and quick. I almost always try to conserve battery on a trip outside the house.

I think there are very few people out there whose dogs don’t absolutely destroy toys in the first five minutes of playing with them. I know mine do.

These foam floor tiles are great as an exercise mat or a cushioned play area, but I use them as an enormous blocking surface for my knitting projects.
