I know it’s been a while. I’ve been busy starting a new job :))))))))

Before we move on to gifts and tabs, please take a minute to read up on what’s happening at Wirecutter, and don’t cross the digital picket line this Black Friday and Cyber Monday.


Some recent purchases

  • These boots made a brief return before selling out again and I’m so glad I got them. They are so comfortable and go with everything. Subscribe to the restock alert, you wont regret it.

  • This dog leash has an attached wallet that can hold treats, keys, your phone, poop bags, etc. I love it so much. I stumbled upon it after seeing a woman on TikTok fit like 12 pairs of shoes and several outfits into this weekender bag. (Also, randomly, this is Shay Mitchell’s company?? If you have a few minutes, please watch her home tour.)

  • I had an awful hormonal breakout a few weeks ago that could only be contained by a combination of Luna Oil, Sunday Riley’s Retinol and this La Roche-Posay cicaplast cream that treats super dry/cracked skin. Shout out to my friend Sarah for recommending this cream and saving my face.

  • These wavy earrings, which are now my 5th pair by Jules! Her earrings are so fun and light! Highly recommend!

  • I expanded my Arq collection during a sale at Bonadrag. I got this bodysuit, and the highrise undies in carres and black. FYI, Bonadrag’s Black Friday sale is live. You can get 20% off anything black with code BLACK21.

What’s on my Christmas list:

  • I hosted Friendsgiving and my pals were alarmed by the fact that I don’t own oven mitts so I added these doofy looking ones to my list.

  • This Staub braiser makes me feel MANY things.

  • Comfy Birkenstock slippers

  • This leather tote, but in yellow, which is no longer in stock and now I’m UPSET.

  • Lord Jones bath salts

  • Doodle coasters from the MOMA design store

  • A gold version of the fake chain necklace that turned my neck green

Best _______ Gifts For Your ________ Who_________:

  • This plunger (sorry I just need someone to buy this!)

  • I feel like I say this all the time but you cannot go wrong with an Instax camera. It’s a great gift for kids and adults. Everyone loves it! The basic one is on sale at Target for $59.99, the cooler-looking one is also on sale but $30 more. Don’t forget film!

  • I love these reusable eye masks! They’re 20% off right now with code “CONGREGATION20”

  • Silk pajamas are a nice gift, and these from Quince come with a price tag that wont make you melt into the earth. You could also try this linen pajama set!

  • This cashmere sweatshirt is one of my favorite sweaters and would make a great gift for anyone.

  • I love these wavy serving trays.

  • I saw an old man wearing this “agita” Mets sweatshirt last week and I think it would make a good gift for the suffering Mets fans in your life. There is an entire Etsy store dedicated to the Agita design.

  • Giant Candle!!

  • This quilted pasta print bag (25% off with code GIFTDADDY)

Tabs I bravely closed

  • This Dusen Dusen dog bed/floor pillow and robe. (Both are 25% off at checkout)

  • This beautiful Cold Picnic wallpaper, which has a 15 yard minimum!! (The entire site is 20% off with code SECRETCODE)

  • As you may know, I’m not allowed to buy any more sweaters. But I love this one.

  • I want this ceramic sandwich coaster set SO BADLY but cannot find it anywhere. Or anything even remotely close to it.

  • Look at this upsetting cat scarf.

  • I really love this slip dress

  • And all of these jumpsuits

  • Would I wear these loafers?? Unclear, but I signed up for stock alerts.

ok BYE!
