One of the most comforting things I do every night when I get home is light a candle on my coffee table. I think I started this ritual during the pandemic lockdown, as I wasn’t leaving the house much and the sensory experience signaled to my brain that I was done working for the day. While I loveeee a matchbook (I have a little collection on my bookshelf in a vintage bowl), using a match every day is kinda annoying and I was often burning my fingers. A good old lighter is fine, but it’s not exactly pretty, and I find it most convenient to keep a lighting mechanism out on my coffee table.
To my delight, I found this gorgeous, sleek, minimal lighter that I keep out on my coffee table on the same tray as my candle. It looks so much chicer than a lighter, and it’s gas-free! Shop the lighter and five other super-smart finds, below.

Talk about multitasking—this soap not only cleans and moisturizes your hands, but it also cleans your jewelry at the same time! Plus, it’s made with plant-based ingredients and you can use it as a regular jewelry wash for necklaces, bracelets, and other pieces that need a little shine up.
A Stylish, Rechargeable Lighter

A better way to light your candles! This sleek, modern lighter is gas-free and has a long, sleek body so you can light candles on your table or up high. The length is also perfect for reaching the wick of those scented candles that have burned down to almost empty, so you get to use it longer (and don’t burn your fingers trying to get a match down there). I recently tested one and let me tell ya—it’s really good. The matte texture is satisfying, and I don’t mind having it out on my coffee table—which says a lot, as I’m quite picky. Once the battery is dead, just plug it in and it’ll be back in action in no time!
An Exhaust Fan That’s Also a Bluetooth Speaker

In the market for a new fan for your bathroom? This super-smart model does way more than I ever thought a fan could do: It connects to your HubSmart, Alexa, or Google apps and functions as a bluetooth speaker; it serves as a humidity and motion sensor (it’ll automatically turn on with your set preferences when you enter the bathroom and adjusts the speed depending on the humidity level); and it functions as a light. Now you won’t have to sing in the shower without backup—just prompt your fan/light/bluetooth speaker to play what you’re in the mood for!
