Since we need to wash our hands so much, it’s a good excuse to get a few new soap dispensers. I personally love to buy new ones to update a bathroom or kitchen.

This set of 4 different colored glass Foaming Soap Dispenser Pumps from Target is perfect. Kids (and I) love foaming dispensers. Or you can find some other very cool soap dispensers like this Threshold™ natural wood-look one for only $12.99.

  1. Funny how much soap dispensers and soaps have become so popular now. I especially like the one where you don’t need to touch it. Will have to check it out. So many items like this are out of stock on websites.
