This brand has starter kits, refills and single options to purchase but most loved is their Cleaning Essentials Kit in Glass: All Purpose Cleaner and Bathroom Cleaner kit was the way to go. This is a brand where you mix the concentrate with water to get the desired solutions, and that can be used on every surface (countertops, stains, bathrooms, laundry, floors, pets and more). Branch Basics stands behind that this solution will replace every cleaner you have in your home, with its effective concentrate and streak free application, you won’t need anything else!

I have been using these for months as I was looking for a clean dishwasher detergent and am really pleased with the results! I feel it gets my dishes just as clean as your typical dishwashing agent but without all the harsh chemicals. It comes in a fragrance free option and is available in 36-120 count options.
SHOP
If you are looking for a stainless steel open cup for your kids, this brand is a WI small business and is available on Amazon! We own the hot chocolate mugs and love them.

I love this brand and bought their bowls for my kids, and I love them! They are the perfect size for them, and the silicone slip covers come off for easy cleanup.
SHOP
If you want stainless steel plates for kids without the dividers these are a great option.
SHOP
I recently bought these as I have been trying to make conscious, easy, non-toxic swaps in my home. I like these because they come with silicone sleeves so they aren’t loud and are easy to clean (dishwasher safe). You will pay more with stainless steel but these are a great price relative to other sets!
SHOP
These candle lamps melt a wax candle, without a flame, for a more efficient, longer lasting and clean burn. You can adjust the height of the lamp based on the candle and you can adjust the lamp brightness and set a timer to 2, 4 or 8 hours of melt time!
SHOP
Stasher Bags are a great solution to storing food in a reusable bag instead of a plastic baggie that can are microwave and dishwasher safe too!
SHOP
These Elk and Friends cups are my favorite cups for smoothies for kids. They have a silicone boot and straw with stopper so they cannot pull them out and they are dishwasher safe.
SHOP
We transitioned to using these bamboo plates after our silicone ones continuously make my kids' food taste like dish soap. I was looking for a sectioned plate that had deep enough sections to still eat things like yogurt off of them. Dishwasher safe, but put on the top rack!
SHOP
I bought these for my son for school because he needs a snack everyday and these little stainless steel containers are perfect. The lids are easy for him to take on and off and they come in different sizes and a 3 pack.
SHOP
Everyone's favorite water cup, but in the more manageable 30 oz size if you don't want the big 40 oz size! Fits in any cup holder, keeps your water cold for 24 hours and forces you to drink water with an easy straw opening and carrying handle so you can bring it with you everywhere.
SHOP
If you are on the go a lot, these Stanley 1913 mugs fit in any cup holder and keep their coffee hot for up to 7 hours or cold for up to 10 hours
SHOP
I love my quencher tumbler because it fits 40 oz of water and keeps me well hydrated without having to fill up often, keeps my water cold with ice for hours, has a convenient handle so I can carry it with one hand and it perfectly nests in my Peloton handle bars for workouts. It is a cup and not meant to be spill proof, I suggest this as a drinking glass you would use at home or keep at an office, not on the go.
SHOP
This is my favorite water bottle when I am on the go and need something I can throw in my bag or car. I prefer the 30 oz size, they come in tons of fun colors.
SHOP
I bought this for myself and it is a random purchase but I really like it! Tongue scrapers help reduce bad breath and help with oral hygiene. This is a stainless steel one so it is durable.
SHOP
This Ello Stainless Steel water bottle is a great option for kids to bring to school. It is 100% leak proof when the top is closed (I have tested it!), it has a soft spout straw to drink out of and comes in a handful of colors. The 22oz size makes it perfect for elementary age kids or older who may drink more water during the day vs so many of the kid sizes.
SHOP
This Reduce Water Bottle for kids is one of the best leak proof options out there. It is ACTUALLY leak proof when the straw is closed and there is an extra locking mechanism to ensure it stays closed and doesn’t leak all over the bottom of a bag. It comes in 2 fun colors for younger kids and is the perfect size for them at 14 oz.
SHOP
We love these stainless steel and silicone options for toddler silverware! Perfect for little mouths with the narrow tip, rounded edges and the spoon's deep scoop. They are also dishwasher safe!
SHOP
This kids water bottle is insulated stainless steel and is leak-proof when the lid is closed! It is the 12oz size and comes in multiple print options! I like the handle it makes it easy for my kids to carry.
SHOP
This is a local small business to me and I love these stainless steel mugs they sell which are perfect for serving hot chocolate to kids.
SHOP
My friend recommended this clean laundry detergent and after using it myself for weeks I love it! If you are looking for a more natural option this detergent is great.
SHOP
These airtight glass storage containers are perfect for food storage and they are ok to use in the freezer, microwave or oven (not the lids) or the dishwasher.

If I could wear one workout top for the rest of my life it would be this Vuori one. I love the high neck, the cut is not too cropped or boxy, and I like how it lays perfectly and isn’t fitted. It’s butter soft fabric doesn’t wrinkle and it comes in regular and tall. I personally love the tall because it is the perfect length where it doesn’t show my stomach when I am working out.
I adore a good holiday book and there is no shortage of them for Valentine's Day. All of these books celebrate the importance of love among family and friends. There are good options for anyone from a baby celebrating their first Valentine's day to older kids.
