Boskke Sky Planters are turning gardening on its head. These low-maintenance, air-purifying plants hang down from the ceiling and are self-watering, provided you refill them once or twice a month (plants do need some attention, people). They not only conserve water, but floor space as well — perfect for your New Year’s resolution to reduce clutter. $75 to $195, boskke.com
Roddle Me This
Once the kid comes along, it’s often goodbye sports car, hello minivan. Hip parents can preserve some street cred with the Roddler Stroller, a hot rod-inspired buggy complete with teardrop fenders and whitewall tires. Use the trike conversion kit after lil’ Jimmy outgrows his stroller, and he’ll be the coolest big wheeler in town. $2,500, kidkustoms.com
Flush Forward
It’s already catching on in Australia and will soon become available to us Northern Americans. The Caroma Profile space-saving, water-sipping toilet-and-sink-in-one uses a system that routes the water used while washing hands into the toilet tank ready for the next flush. Despite having to straddle the toilet bowl to wash your hands, we think it’s a flush of genius. caromausa.com
All Blissed Out
They may not be the first to harvest the milk of our glorious friend the coconut to make our other equally glorious friend the ice cream pint, but we’d venture to say they put the “bliss” in coconut. Sweetened with agave syrup, Luna & Larry’s Coconut Bliss is certified organic, 100 percent vegan, kosher pareve, and made with certified fair trade ingredients. And oh-so delicious no matter the flavor! $8, coconutbliss.com
Water, Water Everywhere
Everyone knows that BPA-free, non-leaching stainless steel water bottles are the only healthy way to sip on the go these days, but the EcoUsuable bottle rises above the steely fray by actually filtering your water as you drink it. Have no fear if the tap is questionable because these babies apparently remove 99.99 percent of pollutants as you drink. $13-$19, ecousable.com
H20’clock
Who needs batteries when you have tap water? Fill this Water-Powered Clock with good ol’ H2O, and electrodes harvest energy from the salt and water mixture, powering the clock. When it evaporates, it’s time for a refill. The clock even has a memory function that remembers the time as you change the water. $16, bedolwhatsnext.com
