Nomadix is a social purpose company that started with a road trip and a great idea: Why not design a towel that is both versatile and durable and creates less waste? This October, the brand will be launching its first insulated product: the Puffer Blanket, featuring Snappy Versatility which allows the blanket to be used in three clever ways: blanket, cloak, or sleeping bag. Made with 100% recycled materials, it is sand and pet hair proof, water-resistant, has anchoring corners, comes with a water-resistant stuff sack, and is machine washable!
The GoSili Ocean Collection is sustainable silicone drinkware and straws that gives back to ocean conservation. Silicone is a safe and non-toxic material made to last. The 20-ounce Ocean Cups are supported by the strength of the patented ring and come in four colorways. Every cup is unique and features its own, one of a kind water pattern. The Ocean Straws are made for 12-, 16- and 20-oz cups. GoSili is giving 1% of every purchase to Lonely Whale to support ocean clean-up and conservation.
