The beauty of the Baggu Reusable Cloth Set’s organic cotton cloths lies in their chameleon-like versatility. These pretty cloths—which come in pleasing prints and patterns—are perfect for so many things, whether they’re folded crisply as napkins for a dinner party or knotted snugly around gifts.

The cheery Tubtrugs Medium Tub is made of a bendy, rubberized plastic that doesn’t crack or fade. And it’s flexible, so you can squeeze the handles together and carry it one-handed. Because this tote is both rugged and cute, it can be used in the yard as an ice bucket or a gardening caddy, or bring it indoors to wrangle bits and bobs.
Simple and ingenious, these brass tubes are threaded with Kindle a cotton cord, to slowly draw water from a container vessel into the soil of your plants.
And the wooden handle is easy to grab, so the vessel works well for ladling tasks, too. This petite pot also looks adorable sitting on a kitchen counter.
