The budol never ends here at Home Buddies! Are you curious to see what our Kapitbahays have been loving and raving about lately? Here are some of our top picks from our ever-growing Facebook group.

Upgrade Your Kitchen Essentials

When it comes to our kitchens, it’s truly the little things that make them come together.

These finds by Kapitbahay Mery are great for organizing. Put spices and seasonings away neatly with these glass jars (with a convenient little spoon!) and organize fruits or ingredients such as onions and garlic in an easy-to-reach place with a tiered ceramic basket.

You can also take a cue from Kapitbahay Ba To Non on organizing your knives and kitchen tools using a handy hanging rack — no nails required. Simply slip it onto a shelf or a cabinet, saving much-needed counter space.

Another kitchen must-have comes from Kapitbahay Aireesh. While simple in design, these water jugs are an excellent pick for those who love infusing their water with various fruits, as they come with filters. They can also serve fresh juice or tea while keeping large seeds, tea leaves, or ice away. Plus, the filter is removable! 

If you’re on the hunt for an upgrade for your pots and pans, Kapitbahay Roxette recommends this four-piece cookware set from Carote.

This #TeamPuti kitchen must-have includes a frying pan, casserole dish, deep fry pan, and saucepan, and comes in a non-stick, white granite finish that’s both estetik and easy to clean. 

Spruce up Your Living Room

If you’re looking for a television stand but don’t want the bulk, Kapitbahay Desh found the perfect alternative.

This True Vision TV stand is slim, discreet, and fuss-free, with anti-skid feet for stability and anti-tip straps for safety. Its snap-lock design and cable management make assembling it easy while elegantly hiding any cables from view. 

Remember that it is a stand with no wall support, so it may not suit those with active pets or children. Ingat-ingat lang!

Step up Your Decorating Game

Rustic decor does wonders for making a home feel unique.

These also come in various colors and prints, so you can easily find one that matches your vibe.

Set the Mood

Another good addition to your relaxation station comes from Kapitbahay Savannah. This humidifier/diffuser comes in a unique design, creating a realistic flame as it diffuses your fave scents for that sosyal, chilling-by-the-fireplace vibe. Pair it with Savannah’s recommended essential oils (Okada and Fresh Bamboo) from Essentials & Beyond for the ultimate relaxation experience.

Keep It Tidy

If you constantly find your underwear drawer in disarray, then Kapitbahay Alex’s recommended organizer box will suit you.

With plenty of pockets for easy access and viewing, you can grab what you need without ruffling through a pile of delicates. You can also use it for socks, handkerchiefs, or anything easily overlooked. Plus, you can get these organizers in various sizes, stack them, and put them away quickly when not in use with its collapsible design.

Those with allergic rhinitis will love this find from Home Buddies Tanod Denise. The Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier Pro (though an investment) helps filter dust, condensed solid smoke, hair, animal fur, and fine particles so you can breathe easily. It features an OLED display that provides real-time information on micro-organisms in the air, humidity levels, temperature, and smart control via the Mi Home app. This air purifier also boasts a wide coverage area suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, and other large spaces. The best part? It makes very little noise and comes with a night mode feature for an even quieter experience as you sleep.

Dress Up Your Fur Babies

As they’re part of the family, our furry friends at home deserve their budol, too.
