Sink Gnome
Best whimsical scrubber for anyone wanting to brighten up dish duty.
Most kitchen sponges are purely utilitarian eyesores, but this one proves that cleaning tools can actually be fun. While it won't replace a heavy-duty scrubber for your toughest cast iron, its three-layer design handles daily dish duty with surprising efficiency and a much-needed dose of personality.
