This one isn’t for the coffee lovers. Unless you’re a coffee lover who also happens to love tea, then stick around. Tea is making a major comeback—if it ever really left—and we’re noticing. Americans aren’t notorious for tea drinking, but with more focus on wellness and overall general health, these lovely leaves (and herbs and flowers) are in the spotlight. Not only are the classics still well-loved, but new blends, accessories, and tea kettles are gaining some serious popularity and we’ve gotta admit; we’re feeling pretty fancy.
No shade to coffee. But there’s just something about the ritual of tea that’s relaxing in and of itself. Add to it the health benefits (heart benefits! antioxidants! detoxing!) and the sheer zen of it all, it’s really not shocking that si many people are getting on the tea train. In honor of the de-stressing moments of brewing up a cup, we’ve put together some of our favorite tea-party-for-one (or two or ten) goodies to make your routine even more special. From the absolute gold standard in tea kettles (there is one. Trust us.) to beautiful cups and saucers and blends, your Alice in Wonderland era is here. Minus the hallucinations and grinning cats and stuff.
Butterfly Pea Flower Tea by Anima Mundi
How stunning is this blue? While the aesthetics of Butterfly Pea Flower Tea are definitely a bonus, the real magic is the health-promoting compounds, including antioxidants (such as anthocyanin), and contributing to healthy-looking skin, hair and eyes. Its rich blue color is utilized as a natural dye and it's sometimes combined with water plus an acidic ingredient, such as lemon, which changes the pH of water, so its color changes from blue to violet!
Modern. Minimalist. Sleek. And, of course, supremely practical whether you're a tea lover or a coffee connoisseur. Of course, it's not just about the aesthetics with this one from SAKI. The Baristan has a unique plastic-free interior, ultimate temperature accuracy, a ring light indicator, fast heating time (you'll be ready to pour in 5 minutes!), and a ton of other features we didn't even realize we'd need in a kettle. Turns out, we definitely do. This one is an investment you'll use every single day.
If there's anything we've learned, it's that the tea experience is just as much about the visuals as the taste. These honey-bathed, bound blooming tea balls are dusted with organic honey and adhered to a gold leaf tea spoon. Just add boiling hot water to your tea cup, unwrap your tea ball pop, and submerge into the water. Stir slightly, and your tea ball will open up to reveal a lovely, whole blooming tea flower. We were unprepared for this level of tea magic.
A modern twist on a classic style, this glass teapot allows you to see your tea steep—something especially cool when you use blooming teas! You can use any loose leaf blends, though, since it comes with an infuser to make your tea time ultra-relaxing.
Speaking of flowering teas, these Teabloom teas are handcrafted by artisans with high-quality green tea leaves and edible flowers. They're especially made for glass tea pots since the display is so beautiful, but they also taste wonderful. Each flower makes a full pot of tea, and this set comes with 12 different varieties, including 'Sunset Love' and 'Shooting Star'. Who wouldn't want to drink a shooting star?
Inspired by Tea Forte's 5 years of partnership with The New York Botanical Garden, this collection brings together all 4 collaborations. Packaged in the tradition of original artwork created from the Garden's library, Jubilee pays includes the Jardin, Fleur, Soleil, and Paradis collections. The 20 pyramid set includes drool-worthy blends like Vanilla Rose and Cherry Blossom.
One of Caraway's best bestselling pieces, the Whistling Tea Kettle looks as good on your stovetop as it does as a centerpiece on your brunch table. Available in multiple colors, it's nontoxic, so your water stays clean.
The vintage look of this set is just so perfect, and the saucer is icing on the cake. It also comes in a very fresh minty green. We're grabbing both (they're dishwasher safe!).
Passionate about matcha? So is Cuzen. With this kit, you can make a shot of matcha to create your favorite latte, cocktail, mocktail, or just to sip on its own. The machine mimics the traditional stone mill and bamboo whisk, and there's even a grind only function for powder you can bake with, use as a garnish, or integrate into your beauty routine. The Cuzen Match Maker is designed to work with their signature tea leaves.
Whether it's brown and white sugar, spices, or q-tips, this bowl set from Hawkins New York is the perfect way to add a little whimsy to your life. (We mentioned the Alice in Wonderland thing, right?)
We don't usually think 'chic' when we think about tea kettles, but this one warrants it. For the minimalist in you, this unique kettle is a seriously stunning addition to your kitchen.
'The Home Café: Creative Recipes for Espresso, Matcha, Tea and Coffee Drinks'
Amazon
You have your matcha powder; now put it to even more creative use. For both coffee and tea lovers alike, this book helps you take your regular grind (pardon the pun) and switch it up into something a little more fun.
Tea and honey go together like...tea and honey. Just use one of these dipped spoons to stir your favorite tea and add the perfect amount of sweetness as the honey dissolves.
Absolutely swoon-worthy, this stunning glass teapot is hand painted with poppies in rich pink hues. It includes a removable infuser, too, and is available in 2 sizes.
Get a glimpse into the future—which looks a lot like a steaming cup of tea inspired by the stars. Each zodiac sign is represented here, so you can try the whole sky.

The best baby feeding supplies for mitigating messes
When it comes to finding the best baby feeding supplies, there’s absolutely no shortage of options. Whether it’s your first little one or your newest addition, feeding gear is always evolving. Of course, that’s a good thing, but it can leave you feeling a little overwhelmed with choices. But you have us, so you can relax and let us handle the hard part.
Most of us would agree that the best options have a few key features. We’re looking for suction-bottom plates and bowls (babies are mighty flingy as far as bowls and plates go), high-quality baby-safe materials, soft-on-the-gums utensils, and weighted sippy cups (because of that flingy thing again). A lot of feeding supplies are created with food-grade silicone, since it’s soft, but we also found stainless steel and bamboo options for those of us looking to skip the plastic. There are even options that also keep your comfort in mind. From bibs to bowls to snack containers, these are some seriously clever products for feeding your little one. Check out our list of the best baby feeding supplies below.
Best Utensils: Baby Spoons & Forks
Avanchy Bamboo Baby Spoons
Avanchy on Amazon
Shorter handles and wider scoops make these perfect for babies just starting out all the way to the toddler stage. Multiple colors and set options are available, too.
Made in Denmark, these aesthetic toddler and baby utensils are as pretty as they are functional. They're so simple that they're easy for little ones to hang onto while they learn their way around solid foods. They come in lots of soft colors, too.
These chunky little baby spoons and forks are ideal for little grips. The shape helps them hang onto their utensils and the kiddo-friendly colors (there are lots of them!) help to keep them engaged.
Munchkin baby spoons are a parent favorite: gentle on baby's gums, ergonomically shaped, and long enough to reach the bottom of those food jars. What's not to love?
Created by moms who just get it, these curved spoons are great for littles learning to feed themselves. They help develop motor skills without exhausting their wrist, shoulders, or elbows with overly complicated movements. Available in 2 sets of different colors.
The best baby feeding supplies let you say goodbye to flying baby bowls. The suction cup bottom keeps these securely in place, while the quick-release tab makes it easy for you to clean up when mealtime is over.
Suction bottoms are a theme here, of course, but the WeeSprout plates offer a divided design and matching lids for on-the-go carrying, leftovers, and meal prep. Lots of color combos are available, too.
Trying to avoid plastic? This bamboo and stainless steel bowl set from Avanchy is a great way to go. The bundle includes both bowls and a lid for easy transport or leftovers. Several colors are available, too.
You probably already know ezpz, and this beauty doesn't just include a suction bottom, but it also has a built-in placemat to majorly mitigate spills. Available in 4 colors.
Warm up baby food by steaming over a saucepan or steamer with this bowl. And don't worry—the bowl itself doesn't get hot as it steams, either, so it won't get overheated.
These snack cups are soft and collapsible, with an interchangeable snack cup or straw sip lid. Plus the secure snack lid keeps goodies contained and is perfect for little hands.
As far as baby snack containers go, this isn't just one that keeps the Cheerios from flying out. With a straw, storage lid, and snack dispenser lid, you can use it for everything from Goldfish to soup to smoothies and beyond. Lots of cute color combinations are available, too.
Oh, mushie and their soft colors that we just can't get enough of. The double handles are super helpful for little ones, too. Tons of color options with this one.
The rounded sides of the plate make it easy for scooping and containing food, and this set also includes a stable cup for learning to drink, and easy-to-hold utensils. It comes in 4 colors.
The best baby feeding supplies are multi-functional, and Busy Baby agrees. This bundle includes Busy Baby's best sellers: Mat (original size) with 4 Tethers, Mini Mat, Teether & Training Spoon, Bungee Bib & Utensils, Bottle Bungee, and Toy Bungee. Not only are they excellent feeding tools, but the bungees keep toys, utensils, and more from falling on the floor.
The Lalo First Bites set is one of the most popular out there. It includes utensils, bib, 4oz cup, suction plate and bowl and is available in 5 colors.
Designed for babies 4+ months, the MICHEF set comes complete with 2 baby food feeders with 3 different sized replacement silicone sacs, baby spoons, and a bowl with masher.
Cover them alllllll the way up with these best selling long sleeve bibs. There's a good chance they'll still find a way to drip something somewhere, but this set mitigates the possibility. Lots of colors are available.
Looking for serious bib coverage? Look no further. This one is designed to cover your babe and their highchair, plus its machine washable. Multiple color options, too.
Fabric bibs are classic for a reason: these waterproof fabric bibs are soft and strong and include a crumb-catcher pocket. Machine wash them over and over. Plus, they come in lots of adorable colors and prints.
We're really into this apron style bib with little arm holes that are totally tug-proof. The sweet colors and prints are a major selling point here, too.
Learning is is the name of the game when it comes to baby water cups, and this one is designed by pediatric experts. The weighted base prevents tip-overs and your little one can see inside the cup to know what's in it and how much is left (which is a big deal when they're learning to drink for themselves). 5 colors available.
Made of Tritan that's clear as glass yet strong as stainless steel, the Evorie Sippy Cup is an award-winning cup with a straw that allows babies to drink from an angle while minimizing extra air that can lead to tummy upsets. Multiple colors and designs are available.
The weighted straw idea is brilliant, honestly. It lets your little one drink from any angle or position and keeps spills and leaks to a minimum. There are 7 colors available.

Um, excuse us. Where are the stocking stuffers for adults?
Listen, we’re parents. And we love seeing our little ones light up during the holidays, so we try to create as much magic as possible over the holidays. That includes planning the best possible gifts and filling their stockings with goodies. But we’re here to remind you that adults are totally due for some stocking fun, too.

It’s gift guide season, and today we’re tackling the elementary-age crowd (for younger kiddos, check out our preschoolers’ gift list and for the older crew our tween guide is a must-read).

Yes, okay, Amazon Prime Day also happened this past summer. But, the Amazon gods have smiled upon us once again, and the Fall 2023 version is happening this month. October 10-11, Amazon will have deep discounts, promos, and major savings that we won’t see again until…well, the next Prime Day. Probably.
