Problem: You’ve got tissue boxes stashed everywhere, but still your kids wipe their runny noses on the back of their hands and on their sleeves—a real problem now that cold and flu season in full swing.

Solution: Get your little germ generator some Sniffle Buddies ($10, snifflebuddies.com), naturally antibacterial and absorbent wristbands made of bamboo and organic cotton that 'catch' sniffles from runny little noses. These reusable wristbands are secured by Velcro closures, so they’re easy to remove and wash for another wear. Viruses and germs that otherwise would get on their clothes or hands—potentially getting them sick—land on the Sniffle Buddies instead.
