Glass Food Storage Containers

$24 at Walmart

Did you know that you should be replacing your plastic food containers at least once a year? Our set of Glass Food Storage Containers is the best option for long-lasting food storage that’s even safer than plastic food storage. Pop the glass bases in the oven, microwave, freezer, fridge, or top-rack dishwasher—they make food storage (and cleanup) simple.

If your food storage containers are starting to smell, look cracked or warped, or if the tops aren’t fitting correctly, it’s time for a replacement. Our set comes with five food storage containers and five lids that create an airtight seal. With lids on, each container is stackable; leave the lids off, and you’ve got nesting containers for easy storage.

Each set of four Flip-Tite storage containers comes with four different sizes, perfect for storing everything from cereal to rice. Stack them on top of one another for extra efficient storage. The container and lid (minus the seal) are dishwasher safe, making it easy to swap out the items you’re storing as needed.

You can snag this set in standard sizes from twin to king. Both the pillow shams and bedding are made with a comfy cotton blend.

Performance Sheet Set

$55 at Walmart

A new sheet set is a must at the start of the new year. While you can get away with keeping your bedsheets around for more than a year, some sets need more frequent replacing. Choosing a new set is also a fun way to incorporate a new color scheme into your room.

Our ever-popular Performance Sheet Set is exactly what you need to stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter. It’s made from 100% cotton and wicks away moisture for extra comfort. These sheets are wrinkle-free and shrink-free, so you can wash (and dry) them with total peace of mind.

Each set includes one deep-fitted sheet, one flat sheet, and two pillowcases. There are a total of 19 different colors to choose from, along with twin, full, queen, and king sizes.

Signature Soft Cotton Bath Sheet

Refreshing your towels in the new year is never a bad idea. Lingering odors, discoloration, stains, and bacterial growth are issues that plague older bath towels; snagging a new set will make your bathroom look and smell better. The Signature Soft Cotton Bath Sheet is available in 10 different colors, from classic stark white to soft green.

Each towel is fade-resistant, ultra-absorbent, and made of USA-grown cotton. To ensure they last even longer, these towels are also low-lint.

Revamping your storage as part of your new year decluttering has never been easier. Our Cotton Rope Decorative Storage Basket comes in medium (10 inches tall) or large (12 inches tall). The soft cotton texture keeps its shape without scratching the surfaces you set it on. It also comes with two faux leather handles, making it easy to move around as needed. Need more than one? The basket also has a 4-pack option.

PEVA Shower Liner

$11 at Walmart

When was the last time you switched out your shower liner? Believe it or not, it should be replaced about twice a year. Thankfully, our inexpensive PEVA shower liner will help you get the most usage out of your shower curtain; it’s mildew-resistant, with rust-resistant grommets that help it last longer.

The bottom uses suction cups and a weighted magnetic hem to keep stray water droplets from escaping your shower. It’s a simple swap that will make your bathroom fresher and cleaner.
