Fellow

Fellow products are incredibly high-quality and they really put effort into making an ecosystem of products that work well together. The pricing is high but if you're serious about making pour over coffee, it's well worth it. As a design forward company, their products look great on your counter and the Ode grinder has some great innovations as well. I've also been a big fan of the Fellow drops model of selling coffee as well as the custom video guides that come with each bean.

Banza

Banza provides a good alternative to pasta while having great amounts of protein and remaining healthy. However, the taste is not quite close enough to normal pasta meaning it can't be substituted into more complex dishes. I think it does fill a good gap for simple weeknight meals though.

Away

My away suitcase has a high-quality feel that makes it stand out from bargain suitcases. However, it the build quality does fall short of high-end suitcases such as Tumi and Rimowa although that's to be expected with the price. They're affordable compared to other suitcases in their class but I'm still not so sure why suitcases are so expensive in the first place. Big fan of their focus on sustainability

Liquid I.V.

Liquid IV has a good taste for the amount of electrolytes it provides. The drink mix form factor makes it a great alternative over stocking large bottles of gatorade/pedialyte. It's something that you can always have on hand instead of having to go out to buy. Not sure if it's placebo but it does seem to help with hangovers as well.

Allbirds

Allbirds are incredibly comfortable albeit somewhat unstylish. The brand is incredibly pervasive (at least around me) which always makes for a good conversation starter. The washability of the shoe makes them a go-to when it's possible they may get dirty. Overall a big fan of how invested in sustainability they seem to be.

Feedback

Traction on the standard wool runner is poor so look to other models for anything other than dry sidewalk.

Scrub daddy sponges are very high-quality and durable. Designs are fun as well as functional; I find myself being able to use this sponge on places I wouldn't be able to reach with a normal sponge. They're also very versatile as I use them to clean kitchen and bathroom surfaces as well. As a bonus, they're not much more expensive than conventional sponges.

Aesop soaps are incredibly high-quality with luxurious scents. The packaging is very simple and attractive and there stores offer a great experience for trying out the product. The reverence hand soap I purchased feels great on the skin with exfoliating pumice.

Very expensive

Warby Parker cuts through a lot of the upcharging in the eyewear industry. The sunglasses I purchased weren't cheap but the quality made them well worth it. Polarized lenses are very strong and great for very sunny days. Packaging is great as well with a quality glasses case and microfiber cloth.

Oatly

Oatly is a solid oat milk choice. It's relatively neutral in flavor making it great for coffee drinks. Packaging is sustainable and comes in a small enough size that it can all be used before it goes bad. Oatly also lasts much longer than normal milk in the fridge.

Refreshing without being too sweet. Vintage cola, strawberry vanilla, and classic root beer are great flavors. Packaging is appealing.

Pricing is somewhat high.
