I LOVE my Nespresso, but let’s be real, those pods are not cheap to buy even a month or 2 worth of coffee! These silicone lids are a game changer! They only worked in my machine with any regular Nespresso pod. I pulled a few used pods out of my machi...

This is the second Nespresso machine I’ve had (first one broke after 3-4 years of use). I love that Nespresso measures the water for you and this one warms up very quickly.

This travel mug is solid. The lid alone is my favorite part. Such a minor convenience to be able to drink out of any side of this mug.

I am a big water drinker but sometimes I want something with flavor. Taking a step to being healthier and not drink pop (as much) I bought one of these. I have loved it, picking the level of flavor I want is great and I can turn the flavor off and ju...

My toddler loves this water bottle. He learned how to open and close the lid by himself. His water stays cold, and it truly doesn’t leak when closed. When open a few drops can come out of the drinking spout but no major spills!

Small kitchen organization

My husband and I have never had a lot of kitchen space/storage wherever we have lived. We have never had a built in pantry either so we have learned a thing or two about organizing the kitchen!

The best find ever. No more looking for lids that have fallen to the back of the cabinet somewhere behind all the other containers.

We utilized this in the kitchen to fit in a gap between the counters and our fridge. It was also a good way to block the cats and their toys from getting in that gap. Good for pot holders, seasonings, long cooking utensils.

PLEASE MEASURE YOUR SPACE BEFORE ORDERING. Our drawer is very tiny but this has fit fine for that use. We did have to play around with where each silverware sat so the handles didn't poke out to high and prevent to drawer from opening or closing.
