If you love finding new and exciting creative products, then welcome to the best part of the month. We’ve found a selection of stylish and innovative products to wear in your hair, hang in your home, and even make you a drink. Throughout May, we’ve shared them on My Modern Met Selects—our companion site that celebrates cutting-edge items from makers around the world.
This past month had an unintended theme of “under the sea,” and some of our favorite products revolved around the creatures who live there. A fish named Goldie, for instance, will help keep your cell phone charger cables neat and tidy. Hanging jellyfish lights will illuminate your favorite spaces with vibrant rainbows, while Humphrey the whale will serve up a delicious cocktail.
But maybe the ocean just isn’t your thing. Never fear—one of our favorite finds in May was a Been There Scratched That map. Perfect for summer vacations, it’s a map of the United States that’s covered in gold foil. Once you’ve traveled to a state, just take a coin and remove its shiny layer, which then reveals a vibrant painting below. The more you venture across the U.S., the more of this watercolor artwork you’ll see!
Check out 15 of the best creative products from May. And be sure to follow My Modern Met Selects to see what we’re coveting on a daily basis.
