When I was wandering around Kohler’s booth at the consumer electronics show, a soothing smell blew from what seemed to be a shower head. I went in to check it out and fell in love with it. Meet Sprig, the gadget that infuses your shower’s water.
There are 3 types of pods available, each representing a mood. If I’m not wrong, each pod lasts for about 8 uses. This is a bit of a recurring subscription type product so I’ll be careful before I jump into it.

Tubicen – Rechargeable Aesthetic Lamps
If you ask me, I'd say Tubicen creates the most aesthetic yet affordable lamps in the world. Look at some of their lights, very elegant yet minimal.
Tubicen has a bunch of lamps in different shapes and sizes. I recently checked out their Lantern, Mushroom lamp, Old days lamp, Amber lamp and a couple more. Personally, I absolutely loved the design and aesthetic aspects of them. Those lights are very lightweight, easy to operate and mainly, they work great.
All of these lights are cordless and are powered by a rechargeable battery. Their latest Lantern and Mushroom lights are so cool. I heard from their team that their best seller is the Dawn Lamp.
On their website, you have a variety of lamps to choose from. Some of their products are also on Amazon, check them out.
