My husband bought a few of these to have in the car, jackets, around. I've stolen or at least long term borrowed most of them. Plus I don't feel that badly if I lose a pair given their price point. They are light weight and great for running, fit under a hat brim really easily. Happy to have discovered them!

Juliet Wine

💸Bought a product using a Thingdrop discount

Experience

I got Juliet with a Thingdrop. I was really excited about the shelf life... 6 weeks! WOW! SO I needed to put it to the test. TLDR: I am a boxed wine convert. I'd suggest sharing Juliet with friends -- it held its own and I would buy it again, but it's not the most interesting wine to drink week after week (but what's great is you can, because it did stay fresh!). Weekly feedback below: Week 1: bright, but very mild in flavor. Very drinkable, but also nothing to write home about. It’s definitely a wine you can have a lot of glasses of. Paired with spicy Asian style noodles. Week 2: even milder, almost creamy but NOT oaky. Still tastes fresh, but less intense. Paired with crackers and cheese. Week 3: creamy again, very gentle. Still not really noteworthy. Paired with Mexican. Week 4: Refreshing. But I didn't pair it with anything. My evening was also maybe a little sad... I standing in the kitchen, cleaning up, and just sipped boxed wine as I worked. I'm glad it was not Franzia. Week 5: Starting to get sick of it... The flavors were still not that noteworthy, mild on the palate, but it's not bad. Just uneventful. Paired with leftovers off of the kids plates - mac & cheese, carrot sticks, half grapes, and impossible nuggs. Week 6: Still going... I tried it and haven't finished the bottle (bag?). Flavor remains the same, I'm impressed.

Feedback

I'd love some french varietals or different producers from California. I think this is an incredible delivery mechanism for wine, but the wine itself is a little flat. Not bad and I'd be happy if I was served this as a work cocktail event, it's just not the most exciting bottle of wine to hit my lips.

Brami

Experience

I love the brami lupini beans. My favorite flavor is the rosemary garlic with salt & vinegar as a close 2nd. The S&V is much milder in flavor than the rosemary garlic lupini, so it's actually kind of nice to have both to snack on in a given sitting. I eat them every day when I am making my lunch b/c I am too famished to wait for my actual meal.

Feedback

They are a little slimy... It's a nice texture when you're eating them, but deciding how to eat them is my biggest dilemma. When I snack on them instead of a chip, I never know if I should use a fork or a spoon or pour them into a cup... I feel weird sticking my hand in the bag.

LL Bean's customer service is first class. You've all read about it, you all know about. But what I am really here to talk about is the boat totes as a baby present. The boat tote monogrammed is honestly the best gift I have ever given or received for a new member of the family. My personal favorite is the large zipper tote with long straps, but really you can't go wrong.

Feetures

Experience

Feetures are by far the best no-show running socks. The cushioning in the ball of the foot and the heel is significantly more protective than Bombas or vans (without being super thick). I’ve never gotten a blister running in these socks (mileage 3-7 miles, averaging 4). And I have mild bunions 🤬🤢 I’ve been running in the same 3 pairs for about a year and they all are still in great shape. My physical therapist actually recommended them to my husband who was recovering from back surgery (and resulting nerve damage down his leg) and was trying to start moving again. We both swear by them.

Feedback

Quality wise, I have no notes. I’d love some more fashion options for compression.

💸Bought a product using a Thingdrop discount

Experience

It took me a few months to use all three flavors, but we finally did this last weekend and I loved the Indonesian rendang kit the most. We made it with tofu and mushrooms. Excellent flavor, I added a fresh squeeze of lime and jalapeños for some freshness at the end.

Feedback

I think the portion sizes might be a bit off. Or maybe it’s me… for dinner for 2, we used both packets and had a small portion of leftovers. Honestly I got the same sense of shame that I get when my takeout order for 1 arrives with 5 sets of chopsticks. Again, might be a me problem. Aside from my sense of shame, Homiah had great flavor and was easy to use.

The OG invisible under garment. High quality materials that don’t lose shape. I have a pair of compression-esq shorts and a few thongs from 2013. That’s probably embarrassing to say to the world and I should probably go through my underwear drawer, but they honestly don’t need to be replaced.

Feedback

Honestly nothing to improve. Good job commando, you understood the assignment.

Experience

I gave it a 3 out of 5, because I only like 1 of the 3 products. The scrub is great, 5/5. I like to massage it into dry skin before getting into the shower and then rinse it off before 2nd wash with a gentle cleanser. The scrub leaves your skin clean, clear, and soft. I am not crazy about the toner or the primer. They were nothing to write home about.

Feedback

I wish the scrub was more widely available as and sold in a slightly larger unit size. I think it would make a great body scrub as well.

Cadence

💸Bought a product using a Thingdrop discount

Experience

I bought cadence on a thingdrop and was still a little iffy about the price point. But if they were going to be everything the internet says they are, it was well worth it. Unfortunately, I’m disappointed. I didn’t end up using the containers for their planned contents (aka the labels I made), so I spent the entire week guessing/trying to remember what face serum was in shampoo and what was in conditioner. I did use cleanser for cleanser, so while that was convenient, I ran out quickly because the pour was faster than the bottle at home. I think this is a personal problem, but I also struggled with my colors. At first I wanted all one color, but then I worried differentiating them would be annoying. So then I tried to group by category ie shower stuff in sage, sink stuff in blue. But then I decided that I wanted my cadence containers to also be distinguishable when I’m blindly washing & conditioning my hair in the morning, so I went with all different colors. They look pretty good together, but I think there is probably a smart design solve their that they could provide with the system.

Feedback

I’d love for extra labels to come with the cadence set, so I can switch stuff up depending on my current skincare routine or trip destination. I’d also love a different spout on the cadence tops as I don’t want to stick my finger in container and the pour is quick for some products and nonexistent for others.

I really love everything about this brand. It's nostalgic and sweet. The fits are great and have a long life. I love the patterns and the way the pants "grow" with the kids.

Feedback

Price point is a little high for clothes that you're child only will wear a few times, but given most of the prints and pieces are unisex, I've gotten 2 lives out of them.
