Marie Kondo, the 35-year-old organizing guru famous for turning the act of paring down into a transformative, ugly-cry-inducing experience, is now venturing into new territory: Helping you restock your fully streamlined home. The Tidying Up with Marie Kondo star just launched an e-commerce section to her website, KonMari.com, where she shares a curated selection of things that spark joy in her own life—including her go-to products for keeping clutter at bay.
That may seem counterintuitive at first—the woman who’s helped the world live with less is now helping us buy more things for our homes?!—but Kondo addresses that head-on in an intro video for the shop: “The goal of tidying is to make room for meaningful objects, people and experiences.”
So what’s Kondo making room for in her own home? The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up author shared that three of her top picks are the incense (scented to make you feel like you’re walking through a garden in Japan), ceramic Igá-Monó Donabe pots (ideal for steaming meat and vegetables) and crystal-and-tuning-fork combo packs (if you thought the care and keeping of your rose quartz just meant charging it under the full moon, you’re mistaken, friend).
"When something sparks joy, you should feel a little thrill, as if the cells in your body are slowly rising," she says. Let that be your guide as you peruse our top five finds from the site.
