29. This Slatted Soap Dish That Keeps Sogginess At Bay

This double-tiered soap dish solves the problem of mushy, soggy soap. The top tier has slats that drain water so that your bar of soap — and dish — dries neat and clean. Then, the bottom tier can be rinsed from time to time to get rid of any excess soap or water that's dripped through.

37. These Ceramic Coasters That Won't Stick To Your Glass

The problem with most coasters is that they stick to the bottom of your glass every time you lift it to take a sip. These brilliant ceramic coasters, though, stay firmly planted to the table. Ceramic has the unique capability to absorb liquid quickly, so it doesn't pool on the coaster, and the cork backing means your coffee table won't get scratched up. The coasters are custom-designed by an artist and fit neatly into a blonde wooden holder when not in use.

38. A Pretty Silk Scrunchie That's Gentle On Hair

Everything old is new again — including this raw mulberry silk scrunchie.

41. This Delicate Choker With A White Fire Opal

The white fire opal stone on this choker represents inspiration, and we're definitely inspired by the fact that Benevolence LA donates $5 to creating sustainable water systems in Africa with each sale of the necklace. The iridescent stone is suspended on a delicate, 14 karat gold-dipped chain with a lobster closure. It's understated enough to wear every day, but dreamy enough to wear to wedding or formal event.

42. This Silk Pillowcase That Prevents Hair Breakage & Pillow Creases On Your Face

Perhaps surprisingly, a silk pillowcase is one of the best beauty tools you can own. Not only does the super soft texture prevent pillow creases on your face, but it also lets hair slide around when you shift position, which can help prevent unnecessary tangles and breakage. The machine-washable pillowcase features a hidden zipper closure and comes in 17 colors. One reviewer writes, "I've already noticed improvement in my hair and skin after sleeping on these silk pillowcases for a few weeks .... I have fewer flyaways/broken hairs visible when I wear my hair up in general, and my hair just looks smoother, shinier and healthier overall."
