    This was my very first dive into natural wines and it was really great. I didn't know what to expect but it was very crisp and felt perfect for a summer day extremely chilled. Branding/design is great as well, feels premium but approachable much like the wine itself.

    One of the best hard seltzers I've had to date (and I've tried quite a few). The orange mango is maybe the best tasting hard seltzer out there in the world. The've also got a killer brand, the packaging is super fun, the story is great (not so great for being robbed, but they made hard lemonade out of life's lemons), and their instagram is always killer.

    Distribution/Production! I just moved out to Long Island and while their site says the Target is stocked I have yet to see it in two months. They are a growing brand and I hope they only get bigger so it's more readily available.

    As a new parent who is generally horrified by the over-commercialization and visual noise being thrown at our children I was so so happy to see Primary's mission. I'm also a person who would wear a plain black t-shirt every day of my life (hello designer living in New York), so it is wonderful to see a brand zagging when everyone else is zigging. It also seems like a company that is run by equally wonderful humans.

    I am a bit disappointed to see a growing number of patterns and designs, I know it's hard to refrain from it but the original lineup of very simple basics made it stand out so much more.

    Love it, yet another Shark Tank brand that I have been hooked by but it has been an essential part of our 10 month old's early life. Functionally and Aesthetically please as well as easy to travel with.

    Extremely underwhelmed, I'm a sucker for well-designed products and marketing campaigns but the actual toothbrush was way too stiff.

    Feedback

    Having options for the brush head would maybe make me reconsider.

    I am always blown away by the brand seeing it evolve over the years. I was in desperate need of an eye exam/didn't have insurance/was having too many headaches staring at screens all day and their Upper East Side store experience was great. Everything from the ease of booking an appointment to the appointment itself to receiving the frames was such a considered, wonderful experience.

    Feedback

    It wasn't made immediately clear that I could have the blue light lenses which I ended up upgrading for with my existing frames a few months after purchasing but everything else was so great. (especially for someone with a large melon and is hard to find glasses that fit comfortably and don't look too small)

    Hard to find great socks that last and Bombas delivers time and time again. You pay for quality and their mission but it is so worth it I don't want to wear any other socks from here on out!

    Feedback

    Selfishly as a designer I so badly want to re-design and tinker with the branding but that's probably a bit too ambitious and unnecessary from a brand out there doing great.

    Amazingly tasty and fresh food bars, like a whole grain bowl in a square. The red pepper pesto was my favorite and a delicious midday snack or lunch replacement for busy days.

    Keep on making kickass flavor combinations!

    Decided to give this a whirl after buying it from Popup Grocer last year and was pleasantly surprised. With the CBD boom it feels like a crap shoot at times with what will be useful, but this gum was great. Any time I was feeling overly anxious I would pop one and be chilled out shortly thereafter.

    Feedback

    This isn't a gum you chew for long-lasting flavor or to freshen up, so anything that could be done on the flavor side would be great.

    Anything I have ever had from Stumptown is always quality. From the packaging to the bean you can tell everything is considered. I worked at an agency with Stumptown cold brew on tap and it was SO STRONG (good thing for people looking for energy, bad thing for people with heart palpitations)
