Unlike the disposable variety, these will be the only ones you need, as they are rechargeable and have four levels of heat. They also serve double duty as a portable battery bank to power up your devices.

It’s Nola! I love granola but loathe the mess when eating it. It’s Nola has revolutionized granola, producing granola orbs filled with the same crunch and taste as your favorite blends, but now in a bite-sized format you can eat with your hands. The flavor combos are excellent, with strawberry/banana, sassy mango masala, cranberry/coconut, and chocolate, and these snackable sweets are guilt-free. This black-owned business run by a college professor in Brooklyn is about to make waves with this delicious treat because it’s never tasted so good to be healthy!

Burlap & Barrel: What started as an industrious couple filled with wanderlust and suitcases full of spices grew into a business that supports small local farms around the world.

I personally love their Chinese Five Spices to make Mapo Tofu, and their cumin from Afghanistan is simply life-changing. Every spice has a story, and this company is all about sustainable farming that brings the freshest scents and flavors from across the globe into your kitchen.

BCW Collapsible Comic Storage Tote: If you are a comic book collector, you know the struggles of boxing up books. Cardboard comic boxes fall apart after a while, while the more durable plastic ones cost twice as much and can be twice as heavy when filled. BCW dropped a new product that I think is a good compromise for collectors. This collapsible storage tote holds 125–150 of your cherished comics and, when empty, can be collapsed and stored without the worry of fraying or yellowing like traditional cardboard boxes.
