Baardman

The little gnome beard actually makes a great handle—my fingers fit right under it, and the brush head scrubs pans without scratching. It’s genuinely fun to reach for it every night, which is more than I can say for any other dish brush I’ve owned.

I was skeptical about a gnome holding my dish brush, but Beardy's actually made washing up feel a little more fun. The handle is easy to grip and it stands up on its own, which is way more than I expected from a scrubber. It's a small, cheerful upgrade to an otherwise boring chore.

The red finish is so cheerful it actually makes me look forward to washing dishes, and the beard doubles as a perfect grip for scrubbing. He stands up on his own between uses, which keeps my sink feeling a little more magical.
