1) Silicone Snack Bags

These reusable silicone bags cut down on waste by replacing throwaway plastic baggies. Each is completely plastic-free, and seals up to keep food fresh. Eco-friendly, too, the bags are lunch box-ready, and can go from the pantry into the freezer, microwave, or dishwasher without worry. Is there anything this mighty bag can’t do? Well, it won’t break down like plastic does—or get tossed away.

2) FlatPak Toiletry Bottle

Matador takes essential gear and makes it so compact that it’s easy to have on hand. Their TSA-approved FlatPak Toiletry Bottle is 5 times lighter and 3.5 times more compact than other silicone bottles and is perfect for transporting anything from soap to toothpaste wherever you might go.

3) Mosquito Repellent Incense Sticks

Ward off pests with natural mosquito repellent incense sticks. High concentrations of citronella, cedarwood, rosemary, and other oils naturally combat mosquitoes and smell great, too. This formula doesn’t contain any DEET or petroleum, and the incense is clean-burning, so you can feel good about using it.

4) Single-Use Emergency Phone Charger
