— Dual Scrubbing Roller Mop

What’s to love:

I’ve used mops before with attached bristles for scrubbing tough spots, but this one has an actual scrub brush attached to the mop head, making clean-ups easier and more efficient.

What’s it do:

In addition to the angled mop head, the pole has a foam grip and foam handle designed to make the mop more comfortable to use. The textured sponge, which is easily removed with a pull-release, also aids in cleaning. Designed by Michael Graves, the mop retails for $14.99.

Chill It Bags

What’s to love:

Belle Vita has introduced a fun and funky way to keep chilled wine, spirits or other drinks cool, and they’re perfect for a hostess gift.

What’s it do:

Pop a bag or two in your freezer. When frozen, these bags will keep your wine or beer chilled in style. They come in a variety of colors and three designs- square for six-packs, cylindrical for wine, and cooler totes. They work best on already chilled liquids. Best of all, they are reusable. The Chill It Bags cost from $6-10.
