Scrub Daisy Dishwand Kit

This product was recommended by Lisa Van Groningen from Your Mom Village

Many households opt for traditional dish wands. Yet those wands need you to replace the washer heads frequently. They harbor bacteria and germs and don’t offer the durability of the Scrub Daisy. The Scrub Daisy offers multiple wand heads to tackle any job. It is dishwasher safe which means you reduce germs and cost. You can reuse it. The multiple wands also can clean many different areas a regular flat dishwand can’t. From cups to bottles and pans of all shapes. The design is convenient because it comes with a unique stand that also offers a smiley face decor. One of the biggest benefits I like is that nothing gets stuck inside the scrubber. So there is no food residue left over to cause growth of bacteria.


Baggy Rack -Sandwich Bag Racks Holder

This product was recommended by Samantha Radford from Evidence-based Mommy

Sushi lovers, like most foodies, have been doing it tough in the Covid-19 year. In many places, it’s not possible to pop into your favorite Sushi bar and get some well made maki or nigiri.

Knife sharpeners are a necessity in the kitchen because knives can get blunt with prolonged use. This affordable knife sharpener is very easy to use and has 3-settings for any size of knife.

Aroma 20-Cup Rice Cooker & Food Steamer

This product was recommended by God’sglory Oge from appliancesforlife

This is one of the best in terms of affordable rice cookers in the market because rice cookers are generally a little pricey. Even though it does not come with the usual features that your normal pricey rice cooker has, this simple rice cooker still gets the job done in record time and still cooks great rice, as long as you are careful not to put in more water than is needed. It also doubles up as a food steamer, meaning that you can use it for steaming and/or warming other food items like vegetables. The manufacturer claims that it can also be used in baking a fluffy cake but we cannot comment on its functionality in that respect.
