Arm and Hammer Concentrated Cleaner

ArmandhammerArm & Hammer, the very first corporate sponsor of Earth Day back in 1970, is going even greener with this recently-launched multi-purpose cleaner made from plant-based ingredients. The formula is free of ammonia and phosphates, and they've doubled the eco-appeal by offering tiny, concentrated refill packs. Users simply dump the vial into their old squirt bottle and fill with water each time they run out. Just refilling once means creating 80% less plastic waste than before, so your conscience can be clean as well as your home.

Vessel Lantern

LanternWe've long relied on Vessel's portable lighting to get us through late-night feedings and ward off monsters under the bed, and we thought it was high time we remembered our favorite model -- the Luau lantern.  The large, surprisingly lightweight bulb sits on a floor charger and automatically illuminates when lifted off its base. It can even accompany you outdoors during the last warm days of the season. Oh...and did we mention it's great looking? Sold.

Built NY Wine Tote

BuiltnyThe summer may be officially over but we aren't going to quit dining outdoors until the first snowflake falls. Keep your prosecco well chilled at your next picnic in the park with this clever wine tote from Built NY. The snug design and cushiony fabric will keep bottles cool and protect them from breaking, and design is smart and fun. Plus it has double capacity, because we all know that the only thing better than one crisp bottle of Sauvignon Blanc is two.

Check out some perfect picnic meals to accompany that chilled wine.

Squirrel Bookends

SquirrelendsLast year's trendy animal (yes, there is such a thing when it comes to nursery decor) was the penguin, and the year before, thanks to Nemo, it was the guppie. This fall seems to be the season of the squirrel, with cartoonish depictions of the furry friends and their fluffy tails rendering them far cuter than the real life version. These bookends by Cute-ture will make a sweet addition to your kid's bedroom or play area, and you don't have to worry about risk of rabies.

Nursery Rhyme Wall Hangings

Blindmice_2These metal wall hangings from Crib Rock Couture & Decor are way cooler than anything we ever had on our nursery walls. The bright colors and modern silhouettes integrate your kid's favorite nursery rhymes into his bedroom or play area in a way that isn't trite or fussy. Hang with a ribbon or a couple of nails, and you can easily swap out The Three Blind Mice for Humpty Dumpty or Little Miss Muffet.

True To Life Colored Pencils

TruelifeOur own Editor in Chief let out an excited "Ooooh!" when presented with a set of these colored pencils for her two boys. The new line by Crayola puts three shades in each implement, so kids can capture with accuracy and ease the different blues in the afternoon sky or various greens in the backyard. Slip them in the cart while stocking up on back-to-school staples, and give kids (and moms) something to be excited about.

Honey Heel Glaze

Heelglaze If you've spent many a weekend at the beach this summer, your tanned limbs and sun-kissed locks will show it. Unfortunately, so will your feet. If sand is nature's exfoliant, why have all those barefoot afternoons left our heels ragged and dry? No need to fret-- just smooth Farmhouse Fresh Good's Honey Heel Glaze over the offending areas, and they'll be pedicure-perfect before it's time to switch to close-toed shoes.

Check out more summer beauty fixes!
