I like being able to buy the same frame in different colors, and the on-site appointments have been very convenient. 

Low ingredient, high quality products with some of the most delightful and consistent branding you'll see anywhere. I love their confidence almost as much as I love their products. If you're reading this, you should be wearing more SPF!

Beautiful, complex art and delightfully challenging puzzles. The piece shapes have very little rhyme or reason, and every element of the puzzle feels considered and thoughtful. These puzzles have made for great date nights at home, and my coworkers have started swapping when we finish one.

I bought this for my partner from their kickstarter years ago, and the simplicity of the display and lack of beeps or sounds really made it work for him. It's nice to have awareness of certain statuses like whether the G train is running late or our citibike station is out of bikes without having to get phones out and check.

I love the classic chili crisp from Fly by Jing for everything from scrambled eggs and homemade dishes to takeout, and the extra hot is a delicious conversation starter for dinner parties. Their beautifully packaged products make excellent gifts for the bold hostess or competitive brothers-in-law.

In the age of fancy oils and vinegars, Acid League shows up with bells on. Their packaging and ingredients are lovely and easy to read, and the flavors will super-power any chicken and rice you have in the fridge. I love their alliums and fish sauces. Be advised, they're closing their online store this month (january '24), so you may have to stock up.

The perfect amount of bubble, and the flavored versions are not too sweet. The packaging and design at Liquid Death are a little silly, but everything is intentional and sharp. Usually I would say I'm not a fan of the tall can, but it does reduce the inevitable waste from buying packaged water.

I honestly recommend Baggu to anyone who will listen. The shopping bags are great for just about anything, and they make great gifts. I also love the pouches and cubes for keeping stuff together in my work bag or backpack, and for packing cubes when I'm traveling. The prints are so fun!

These bags are silicone, so they can be difficult to keep clean-- the smaller bags especially, and especially if you put food or, say, dog treats in them. 

I use these mostly for carrying dog food and dog treats, and functionally they are awesome. They come in a ton of shapes, and I have never had an issue with leaking or freezer burn. These also make good drybags or travel containers.

I have three hard suitcases and two soft weekend bags from Away, and I love the thoughtfulness of the product design. I use the weekend bags as carry-on or road trip bags, and if you’re a packing cube / pouch girlie like me, you’ll fit everything you need and tons of stuff you don’t. One note— I don’t use the smallest carry-on suitcase very often since getting the weekend bags. I’m just going to chalk that up to preference!
