Because you loved last week's picks so much!
 | | So, we're not the only ones tired of repurchasing things | | Last week's "buy it for life" recommendations struck a nerve — in the best way. Your response to Chelsea's college cast iron skillet find, Ginger's "magic" stone bath mat, and Sarah's Swedish dishcloth revelation told us you're as fed up as we are of constantly repurchasing the same products. | | So here's round two, the best of the rest from our BIFL research. These are the products our team uses daily, passed down through generations, or discovered through years of trial and error. No smart features, no planned obsolescence — just quality that endures. | | ☕ A coffee dripper: We prefer the Hario V60 for single-serve or couple-serve brews because it's durable and can use washable and reusable fabric filters. Hario offers steel, ceramic, or glass drippers for three nonporous — and thus more sanitary — options. | | 🧹 Refillable spray mop: Editor Kristin Currin says, "I was all over the Swiffer when it first came out, until the batteries died and I realized I had to keep buying its proprietary mop solution cartridges and disposable floor diapers. Other vendors have come out with a similar wet/dry mop, but with three improvements: a spray bottle function in lieu of the electric button, a reusable cartridge you can put your own mop solution in, and a washable wet/dry mop pad." Smart! | | 🫧 Washable area rugs: Kristin also has a tip for what to put on top of your sparkling clean floor: "I opted for the largest possible area rug for my hardwood floors. Washable rugs are durable, flexible, and stain-resistant. Each time, they wash like new. Honestly. One of my rugs is white and washes white despite the foot (and paw) traffic. These rugs from Amazon are also the softest texture I've ever put my bare feet on." | | These products meet the BIFL challenge in different ways — some through time-tested simplicity, others through smart material innovation — but they all deliver the same result: you buy once and use for decades. | | Ready to expand your buy-once-use-forever collection? We have the complete room-by-room guide to products that could outlast your mortgage. | | See you next weekend!— Healthline Newsletter Team
