Real Simple's Editorial Guidelines Published on July 25, 2024 Close Photo: ROKOS/Etsy You know how there's always that one kitchen tool you can never find, but always need? Mine is the cheese grater—not only am I an enthusiastic queso consumer, but also use it for veggies and zesting citrus. Luckily, I recently got a handy 5-in-1 grater and slicer that has saved me in the kitchen (and is pretty hard to misplace) and I'm sharing my find with you! Also filed under "obsessed with this" for this week's finds include a stylish sleeper sofa, the cutest (on sale!) do-it-all purse that I've been eyeing, a versatile mini easel perfect for displaying art and vintage finds, and more. 01 of 06 The 4-in-1 Purse Photo by Diabelle Orig. $150 $70 at Diabelleofficial.com This do-it-all purse can be worn in four different ways, so you can seamlessly switch up your look without having to deal with the annoyance of switching over to another bag. It comes in six versatile colors (I'm personally eyeing the lilac) and is made with a smooth and soft vegan leather. 02 of 06 A Display-Everything Easel Photo by Michael's $25 at Michaels While this is technically a little easel and can be used for painting and other crafts, it's also the perfect size for displaying art, a pretty tile, vintage object, or whatever else you want to show off. 03 of 06 The Halftime Water Cooler Photo by RTIC $100 at Rticoutdoors.com This cutie RTIC piece is meant for shared hydration—it's basically an upgraded water cooler. The spouts at the bottom make it easy to fill up a cup with water or a batched cocktail—perfect for little league games or backyard parties. It's lightweight so it's easy to take on the go, and it comes in two different sizes (three gallon or six gallon) to choose from. 04 of 06 A Fancy Floating Candleholder Photo by Etsy / ROKOS $472 at Etsy This admittedly splurge-y candle holder is truly a special piece—the amount of water you add to it determines the burn time of the taper candle you add—the longest being 231 minutes. It can also be used as a sculptural vase, instead! 05 of 06 A Stylish Sleeper Sofa Photo by Sabai $2,970 at Sabai.design Sabai, known for sustainable, conscious furniture, has designed a sleeper sofa that's not only super comfy and useful, it's also stylish—which is definitely not the norm for pull-out couches. This bundle includes the sofa, a foam mattress topper, and a vacuum storage bag. Choose from eight recycled velvet colors or five upcycled poly colors. 06 of 06 A 6-Way Grater and Slicer Photo by Sur la Table Orig. $30 $30 at Sur La Table Grate your cheese to perfection with this handy dandy gadget, that has five different grating and slicing options you can easily slide on to the base. Have extra queso left over? Just pop the included plastic top on it and put it in the fridge for next time. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why! Other Submit
