A cool can

These semiround cans — pretty enough to display — are perfect for high-traffic areas, nudged against a wall or kitchen island. They are fingerprint-proof and the platform pedal and step area are made of durable solid steel.

$109.99-$139.99. www.simplehuman.com

A sound sink

Finally spiffy up your sink's surroundings with this slim little oversink organizer. Stock the individual compartments with brushes, sponges, soap or even rings for safekeeping. A vase-shaped channel can hold a decorative flower. It's rust-proof, is made of stainless steel and tough plastic, and fits around a single faucet.

$29.99. www.simplehuman.com

Earthy sponges

Even sponges and cloths are going green. And these, made by Twist, are packaged in recyclable boxes that can be turned into little birdhouses — just follow the directions on the box. Twists' new, all-natural products include the Euro Sponge, Loofah sponge and the Euro cloth.

$1.99-$4.99. Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy in Seattle (4130 E. Madison St. and 1815 N. 45th St.) and online at www.jackscountrystore.com

Good timing in the kitchen

The Better Kitchen Timer has four timers so you can monitor up to four cooking vessels at a time. Four LEDs on the unit are positioned like the four burners on a stovetop, and each LED lights up when its corresponding timer is set. No more burning the dinner.

$29.95. www.hammacher.com
