Five Two | Wool Dryer Balls
Submitted by: Alejandro Raygoza
A pack of dryer balls because you've been frustrated with your lack-luster dryer that really doesn't dry your clothes for too long. Stop yelling "You have ONE job" at it and add these to your loads to make everything drier in a quarter of the time.

UnAnimal + UnPlastic Wallet
Submitted by: kirk mosna
UnAnimal + UnPlastic minimalist wallet. The wallet is made from a natural vegan material and is derived from trees, a renewable resource. The material doesn’t rob animals of their skin, pollute the earth with plastic or try to be anything but itself. It is hard wearing and develops a nice patina over time. Unlike most paper products, you can get this one wet. The paper-like material is manufactured in Germany and is FSC and Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified.
