A toast to the things that I’ve kept an eye on this past year. Some are practical, some are ethically designed, sustainable, great for your health – and some simply cool and original. In this day and age, we must be smart and conscious about the products we purchase and the footprint we leave behind. Every little bit helps! I ordered the One Clock when it was still a Kickstarter campaign and I love it! I’ve never woken up so gently in my life. Highly recommended.

1.OneClock

(I just got one, it’s amazing)
OneClock is a minimalist analog timepiece with waking music based in science, designed for a disconnected bedroom. Warm, organic minimalism meets a tactile analog experience. No screens, no Bluetooth, no WiFi, no apps, no connectivity. The sounds are designed by Grammy award winners to activate your brain gradually, then wake you gently and reliably.

2.Nothing New Low Top Sneakers

Designer sneakers made with sustainable materials. Made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic and other sustainable materials.

8.Sustainable Tomorrow Bamboo Electric Toothbrush

Each year at least a BILLION plastic toothbrushes are thrown away, ending up in our landfills or in our oceans. The Sustainable tomorrow Bamboo Electric Toothbrush uses replaceable heads carved from bamboo. Each head takes around six months to decompose while a plastic one takes hundreds of years to fully break down.

9.MUD/WTR
