We kicked off Friday with a little fun today at Daily Grommet. This morning, we headed down to visit our friends at Fox25 Boston and brought along some great "hidden gems" from Somerville, MA.

I love giving Grommets as gifts. They have a great back story, and come from companies that I want to succeed. Here are my go-to Grommet gifts.
-Katherine, Marketing Team

When you give Arghand and share the story behind the soap pebbles, they take on meaning beyond what can be seen.

Grommets that make life easier or do things better are my picks. Here’s a few home problem solvers I would recommend. - Joanne, Discovery Team
I get amazing results grilling on the Cookina mat. I will never grill salmon again without it.
Pills age perfectly good clothes prematurely. Gleener refreshes and rescues my knits from those awful fuzz balls.
------------------------------------------------------
Coverflex lids are a smart, green alternative to plastic wrap. The silicone material grips surprisingly well and keeps an airtight seal.

I'm a very picky shopper but these Grommets are things I really love. I like to keep things minimalist yet offbeat and these Grommets are right on the money. - Ray, Supplier Support Team
Too many electronics look like jet engines. Tivoli's wood finish and knob controls make it really stand out.
Who says exposed lighting can't be sexy? No need to dress a Plumen since it's awesome to look at bare.
------------------------------------------------------
The less I have in my pockets the better. ZerOZ is a nice slim wallet that helps me do just that.

What Is It?
They look just like the ubiquitous paper plates and plastic cups that appear at picnics and barbecues everywhere, but they’re not disposable. They’re made of durable melamine, so they’ll hold up to gobs of barbecue sauce and potato salad much better than the flimsy dinnerware they pay homage to. Buy What Is It? Melamine plates and cups here.
