Take 5: Colorful Packing Cubes, a 2-in-1 Facial Tool, + More

Twice a month we’re inviting one of the Design Milk team members to share five personal favorites – an opportunity for each of us to reveal the sort of designs we love and appreciate in our own lives from a more personal perspective. Social Media Consultant Maivy Tran returns this week for our Take 5 series.

1. Scent Surrections: Fragrances by Future Society

If you’ve ever wondered what extinct flowers smelled like, you’re in luck because Future Society decided to find out – and then bottle them. Using real DNA from long-lost blooms and a wild mix of biotech and artistry, they’ve created six one-of-a-kind fragrances that smell unlike anything else. Each scent is a unique blend of nature’s forgotten beauty, capturing the essence of flowers that once graced the earth. It’s futuristic fragrance for the curious, the creative, and anyone looking for a scent that’s new and unusual!

2. Cram Smarter, Not Harder

I recently went on a two-week trip with just a carry-on, and by mid-vacation, my luggage was absolute chaos. That’s when I found myself seriously wishing I had something like Cram’s packing cubes. Available in 3 sizes and fun colors, they’re perfect for keeping your things sorted and your stress levels low. Made from 100% recycled plastic and topped with breathable mesh, they fit perfectly into standard suitcases and make it easy to find what you need. Here’s to making packing feel less like a chore and more like the official start of your adventure!

3. Catch of the Day: Nômade’s Citrus Squeezer

Warmer days are here, which means it’s officially alfresco season – and what’s a sunny outdoor spread without a splash of citrus? Part kitchen tool, part conversation starter, and definitely the life of the party, this fish-shaped citrus squeezer from Nômade is the kind of quirky charm I love. Whether you’re dressing a fresh salad, mixing up zesty cocktails, or adding a tangy twist to desserts, this sturdy stainless steel squeezer is sure to be the catch of your summer soirées.

4. Chiseled to Perfection with Eadem

Lately I’ve been deep in my self-care era, and I found the perfect excuse to turn my three-step skincare into a full-on ritual. The Chisel from Eadem is a sleek 2-in-1 tool that’s basically a mini sculptor for your face, and it has been calling my name. With its precision-crafted edges, it promises to sculpt and define your facial contours, while the cooling jade roller tackles puffiness and boosts product absorption. Just the look of it is pure luxury, so I can only imagine how it would feel to use! Plus, if just a few minutes every morning and night means I’ll get a lift and a glow, then I’m in.

5. Smallserve Serving Big Style

The most perfect bowl for the cat I don’t have – yet. (Although I’m seriously considering using it for my pup, because why not!) There’s something about the Smallserve by Smalls that’s so irresistible; it’s giving “ceramic minimalist chic” with a touch of “my pet eats better than I do.” Available in two colorways, it stands out without being tacky and is actually designed with pets in mind – gentle on whiskers, elevated for good posture, and ceramic to help keep breakouts at bay. It’s also dishwasher and microwave safe, which officially makes it cuter and lower maintenance than most of my own dinnerware.
