Just-For-Fun Gifts: Juli Diamond Cleaning Essentials Kit

Juli Diamond Cleaning Essentials Kit [85] (£120)

"I learned about the Juli Brush via its founder's story: Hannah Peck lost her engagement ring down the rubbish disposal in her kitchen while trying to clean it. The Juli Brush is the innovation that followed. I tested the device, and my own wedding ring has never glimmered more brilliantly, so I've started rallying it as a friend-group gift to the newly engaged. It's a utilitarian pick with a side of shimmer." — Angelica Marden, president

Aside from hiding a key, it also doubles as a paperweight or covert 'hiding' spot for kids." — Chris Roney, editor, Standards and Ethics
