Re-Usable Grocery Bag

Not all reusable grocery totes are alike. Some were actually made… wait for it… for groceries. This set of three was specifically designed to make your Trader Joe’s haul a more productive, comfortable one, while having the added benefit of being kind to the planet, too. The real genius here: The walls of these bags are actually made with recycled cardboard, so they stay open for loading/unloading. Unlike that free tote you got at a conference last month, these guys were made with groceries in mind. Have you ever seen a fully five-star rating on Amazon before? These bags have…

Packing Cubes

I know I’m super late to the party on this one, but BIG NEWS: I’m a packing cube person now. In packing my hospital bag and trying to organize my things, baby things, all the things, I’ve found that hands down the best way to do it is by playing suitcase Tetris with these genius cubes. Packing cubes are organizational pouches that deliver on their promise of keeping you organized while away from home. However, finding the right cubes isn’t the easiest. In my quest to find the best options, I was shocked to find out that so many of…

Homesick Candles

You may have spotted these Homesick Candles around the ‘gram lately. My wonderfully talented friend and fellow Wisconsin native, Elizabeth Eulberg (you must read her new book, Past Perfect Life), recently sent me this incredible Wisconsin-scented “homesick” candle, which if you live away from home is absolutely the sweetest and most thoughtful gift. They have every state, plus other specific, emotion-evoking scents like Grandma’s Kitchen and NYC. But seriously, READ HER NEW BOOK IT’S AMAZING.

Sunnylife Picnic Blankets

When the outside temperature drops below that which could bake a cake, get out there and picnic while you can. Is there anything more fun in the summer? Some of my best summer memories involve meeting girlfriends in Central Park with a few bottles of wine, some charcuterie and bodega snacks. I love this genius Sunnylife picnic blanket because it doesn’t take up room in your bag—it is it’s own bag. Super slim and easy to tote around, the blanket opens up to 69” x 55″ (for some reason this isn’t clear on the product page, but that is indeed…

Jetblack

New Yorkers, may I have your attention, PLEASE. Have you ever felt like maybe having a personal shopper/butler would be the best thing ever? Jetblack is essentially that, but lives in your phone. I have only had it for three weeks and already can’t imagine life without it. It’s a new personal shopping service that feels a little like Siri, if Siri were an actual person who could text you back and bring you everything you need, whenever you need it. Out of diapers? Need new eye liner? Want to find a last-minute birthday party gift for your nephew and…

Amazon Fire Stick

Another spectacular product ready to turn your home into a place you kind of never have to leave—the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K which essentially opens up the entire streaming world to you just by plugging into your television. And while I do see certain dangers in my own ability to simply say “Alexa, play Downton Abbey,” I’m still really, really happy to have the option. By the way, this little guy is fifty percent off.

Ring + Echo Dot

This genius pairing is a steal on the next must-have in virtual home conveniences, and it’s a lot less than what you’d typically pay for them individually. Together, the Ring and Echo Dot team up to make you feel like your home was designed by the Jetsons. Ring will notify Echo Dot, who will then notify you, whenever you have a Seamless delivery I mean visitor. No word yet on when we get the robot that actually answers the door and brings your pad thai to the couch, but I’m hopeful. By the way, if you just want the Echo…

Jo Malone Diffusers

Memorandum readers are very aware that my love for Jo Malone knows no bounds. Two of my favorite scents currently are Lime Basil Mandarin, and English Pear & Freesia… although I’ve yet to meet a Jo Malone scent I didn’t love. Personally, I’ve always been a candle person, but after trying these diffusers over the last several months, I’m now wondering why I didn’t hop on the diffuser train sooner. You don’t have to worry about leaving an unattended candle burning, they last for MONTHS, they’re beautiful, and they fill your home with phenomenal scent. I know the price tag…

Bee’s Wrap

No one’s actually like… a fan of trash. We’re all constantly looking for ways to be kinder to our planet, and this is one of my recent favorites. Bee’s Wrap is reusable food wrap (like Saran Wrap you can wash and reuse), that’s a far more eco-friendly way to keep leftovers and meal prep items fresh in your fridge. With this set, you’ll get three different sized wraps for different uses, and please note the phenomenal volume of ratings!
