Anyday 4-Piece Glass Round Dish Set

Their nontoxic, plastic-free and coating-free materials are safe for use in the microwave, freezer and even the oven! The set comes with a 7-cup and 8-cup dish, and each comes with its own leakproof lid. And if you thought it couldn’t get any better — they’re even safe to throw in the dishwasher.

Sijo AiryWeight Cooling Eucalyptus Comforter
While you're replacing those worn-out sheets, consider also investing in a new, lightweight comforter that's suitable for the warmer season.

Ndlovu also points out that the comforter features an eight-loop construction that can prevent it from shifting or bunching when paired with a duvet.

Made from German stainless steel, the knives are also constructed with ergonomic handles and a rust-resistant design, per the brand.
