Scent Lab
Experience
I hadn't heard of Scent Lab before seeing it in the Thingdrop, but I'm a sucker for candles and was curious about the personalization aspect. I actually really like the scent! It's unlike anything I've smelled or used before but is still similar to the types of fragrances I normally choose. The jar and size are nice too, but I'm indifferent about the name label (actually it's kind of cheesy and is probably better as just part of the packaging rather than being attached to the candle itself). As far as the "AI" goes, it's really just a short quiz about your fragrance preferences, so I don't really think that can be considered customizable or anything.
Feedback
$45 is on the pricier side and I don't think I would've purchased it if I didn't have the Thingdrop discount.
Everlane
Experience
Everlane is my go-to for jeans and pants! I love the way high jeans and have several variations of them. They fit me really well!
cocokind
Experience
I've only tried the revitalizing eye cream from cocokind and it was just okay. I've been using it for about a month and haven't noticed any difference. The applicator feels nice on my tired eyes in the morning, but other than that, I can't tell if it's effective or not!
Chillhouse
Experience
The press-on nails are some of the best I've tried! Mine stayed on for about two weeks and didn't leave any damage to my natural nails. Plus, the designs are just fun and they're frequently releasing new ones.
Aesop
Experience
I have the roll-on deodorant and it's pretty great! Love the sturdiness of the applicator and how much it covers. It definitely has a strong, earthy fragrance which I like but I can see it being too much for some people.
Feedback
Definitely on the pricier side! $35 is a bit much for deodorant.
Banza
Experience
I've been eating Banza's chickpea pastas for a few years now and they've gotten better over time to me. Like others said, there tends to be a lot of foam spillover from all the starch, so that's something to look out for while cooking. I haven't tried their pizzas yet, but I've heard great things about them!
Muji
Experience
Obsessed with Muji's pens and notebooks! They both write so smoothly. I'm sad they don't have any locations in Texas (although that's probably a good thing for my wallet), but I always stock up whenever I'm in NYC and now I basically have enough to start a small stationery store.
Courant
Experience
I have the Catch 1 (the smaller charger that just fits a phone) and I love the way it looks on my nightstand. The design is beautiful and simple. My only issue is that it seems like my phone has to be placed in the exact right spot or else it doesn't charge. But I'd love to try out the bigger one (Catch 3) to see if that makes a difference!
Quince
Experience
I first discovered Quince after seeing an IG ad for their oversized cardigan, and after doing a little digging, I went ahead and bought it! It feels so high quality compared to other cardigans I've had over the years and I know I'll get good use out of this -- I already wear it nearly every day around the house! I'll definitely be purchasing more pieces from Quince in the near future.
Casper
Experience
We got our first Casper mattress in 2020 and it's been a game changer for the way we sleep. We have the Nova Hybrid which has a pillowy top layer that helps keep us cool, and firmer foam throughout. I honestly can't see us going back to any other brand!
