Rarely does a company manage to combine everything I care about - good design, reasonable price, functionality, and earth-friendly materials - into its product line. Those elements are some of Method’s guiding principles for its line of cleaning and body products. Pictured here is their attractive and useful Aroma Pill air sanitizer, but I also love their yummy almond-scented wood polish, and their elegantly packaged cucumber hand wash and dish soap. You really can’t go wrong.

Boxed Tea Towels

Do you have a stained white bar mop slung through your refrigerator door handle? Toss that, please. Instead, choose four favorite tea towels from among dozens of colorful, high-quality options, and they box them up and ship them. A great gift for anyone starting a new home, or a nice host gift for the couple who let you borrow their beach house for a week.

Er’go Thinks Pink

I’m a sucker for citrus, and this grapefruit-scented candle makes the whole room smell like sun. The $20 tag is good price for a long-burning soy candle, and a percentage of your purchase goes to fight breast cancer.
