Help-ful Products We Covet

Home_headache Besides having the most kick-ass packaging design evah, these tiny, handy Help remedy kits are made from 100% recycled wood pulp. (Well besides the actual remedy part, which one assumes you'll ingest anyway.) The packaging is actually *compostable*, fer crissakes!

Help kits, $6.00 @ Help Store
