Navigating the world of crowdfunding can be overwhelming, to put it lightly. Which projects are worth backing? Where’s the filter to weed out the hundreds of useless smart devices? To make the process less frustrating, we scour the various online crowdfunding platforms to put together a weekly roundup of our favorite campaigns for your viewing (and spending!) pleasure. Go ahead, free your disposable income:

Have you ever wanted an alternative to a plastic straw that looks like a vape? In all seriousness, though, this reusable metal straw kit has some clever add-ons that typical metal straws don’t offer, including a case that you spin to dry the straw and a chewable silicon tip so no teeth get chipped.

Love using metal filters but hate the resulting sludge? These ameuus micro filters help close the tiny gap regular filters leave, giving you the option to use finer coffee grounds with your AeroPress.

The world really deserves a mug designed to help eat cereal on the go right now, and CrunchCup delivers. Do we think it’s a beautiful design? No. Do we think it’s useful? Hell yeah.

Pour one out for getting stains on your shirt, because with the Stain Repelling Performance Shirt 2.0, stains aren’t an option.

Instant Archetypes by Superflux is a spiritual tool to help designers, technologists, researchers, and beyond explore their place within the world of business and entrepreneurship. Beyond their purpose as a strategy and planning tool, the cards feature beautiful illustrations by Amelie Barnathan. If you’ve always wanted to get into tarot cards but don’t understand how they relate to your life, give these a go.
