Plink!
Experience
Plink-ing a Plink right into my drink is a really fun and carefree way to make drinking water less boring. Flavor-wise, the watermelon was particularly great, as was pomegranate. Buying and using Plink was so much better than buying a case of sparkling water for a little hit of flavor; 100x more convenient, and SO much less waste. Can't wait to try new flavors as they come out!
Feedback
The biggest improvements I think could be made in solubility of the tablet, so it can dissolve more quickly, and packing the pineapple-grapefruit flavor with a bit more punch (totally subjective!).
Allbirds
Experience
I've had a pair of Allbirds (wool runners) for about 4 years now, and they are good looking, hold their shape, and are super easy to clean. They're a great beater (daily) sneaker, with a no-frills style that can be perfect depending on your outfit. Their recent collaboration with Adidas was super cool, and while I missed out on a pair, I am so happy to see sustainability at the forefront of shoe design.
Feedback
My only drawbacks are that they aren't the most comfortable shoes in the world, and some of the designs color-wise are a bit odd.
Everlane
Experience
Everlane has become my go-to shop for essentials, and it's hard to argue that they don't achieve their goals of quality, value, and transparency. Nearly everything I've purchased from Everlane meets those goals, and though I've definitely not tried everything, I'd be confident buying anything from them. Special shoutout to the denim, which is unbeatable.
Feedback
If I had to nitpick, some of the products are not up to the same standard of what I mentioned above, like the underwear, which is overall just fine, with nothing exuding an air of higher quality for price vs. other low-cost brands out there. I totally understand the desire to become a one-stop shop, but I think releasing items before figuring them out completely isn't a way to continue achieving the mission.
Stasher Bag
Experience
I really love using my Stasher Bags; they make me feel so much better not buying plastics, and their versatility is great. They work exactly as you'd expect, and that's a great great thing!
Feedback
The closure mechanism can get food stuck in it quite easily, which can be difficult to get out. In addition, the silicone isn't the strongest material in the world, so in cleaning the edges of the closure, one of my bags began to rip.
Away
Experience
I purchased an Aluminum Carry-On case a few years ago, and can't think of using a different piece of luggage. The details really add up to a great experience every time, whether it is the laundry bag/compartment, the battery, or the smoothness of the wheels. It's the last suitcase I'll ever buy, and if it gets banged up over years of use beyond usability, I'll just go right back to Away. I got a monogrammed luggage tag as well, and it is fantastic quality.
Magic Spoon
Experience
I really love the way Magic Spoon looks and feels. The box is so fun to look at or even display on an exposed shelf! The mission here is clear and well-expressed, whether through ads, the packaging, or the product itself.
Feedback
I reeealllyyyy wanted to love Magic Spoon, but the only issue for me, sadly, is the most important part: taste. I've tried the frosted and cinnamon flavors, and they just don't quite do it for me. There is an artificiality to the taste, and that tragically stops me from wanting more. There are other flavors, but I'm worried the same problem will persist.
Jot
Experience
It's just so easy to make a Jot cup of coffee, that it's hard to rationalize doing it any other way. The versatility of being able to do both hot and cold at any time is fantastic, particularly during the summer months. On top of that, it always tastes great, with very little acidity in the Original.
Feedback
The cost is ever so slightly higher than I'd normally go for, putting this in a "treat yourself" category vs. daily use. Also, more limited edition flavors or collaborations with well-known roasters could increase engagement.
GEN Z Water
Experience
The website is hilarious and the bottle is great. If you think about it as a cheap and solid water bottle, this is totally a 5-star product for its cost!
Feedback
The water is, like, fine? Like it's just water, sure, but I was hoping it would taste better than other water.
Beast Health
Experience
I purchased two Beasts a few months ago, and am I sad I ever had other ones 😭 They are so quiet and so good looking. On a countertop, the Beast (in black) is a welcome addition, and looks statuesque and gorgeous. On top of that, it works great as a blender! A perfect combination of form and function.
quip
Experience
I have been a subscriber for many years, and have enjoyed my experience very much! The gum has been a hit, and is very elevated both in its taste and dispenser.
Feedback
The floss has a lot to make up for; it frequently breaks, and the holder, while made of good quality materials, is far too short to be used in an adult mouth.
