East Fork the small mug
East Fork, purveyor of some of the best dinnerware sets around, made a name for itself thanks to its Instagram-famous mug. At eight ounces, said mug is now more palmable than ever, perfect for your morning, afternoon, and evening pick-me-ups.

Caraway whistling tea kettle
This is not your grandmother’s tea kettle. Mostly because she wouldn’t spend $200 on a tea kettle, and also, it’s from direct-to-consumer brand Caraway, and she’d have no idea what any of that means. (Shoutout grandmas!) What she would appreciate, though, is the kettle’s old-school minimalist looks, a blend of sleek stainless steel and muted ceramics. So if you aren’t going to buy one for her, the least you can do is gift one to yourself.

La Colombe has boarded the pumpkin spice bandwagon. One of the leaders of the third-wave coffee movement added PSL to its canned coffee lineup, with dairy milk or oat milk options for good measure.

Yamazaki, not to be confused with the Japanese whisky brand of the same name, specializes in ingenious home organizational tools that make your life feel more, well, organized. The brand’s magnetic coffee filter holder is now available in a larger size, a move that feels a long time in the making.

Solo Stove Mesa
We’re already big fans of Solo Stove’s Bonfire 2.0 thanks to its easy setup and smokeless fire. But if you’ve ever found yourself wishing it was a teensy bit smaller, the brand has finally answered your prayers. The Mesa is the tabletop version of the popular Bonfire, and it boasts the same smokeless fire, dual fuel operation, and attractive stainless steel look as its larger counterpart.

Clarks x Moncler Wallabee shoes
Wallabees? Cool. Moncler? Awesome! Together they make an awesome fuzzy wool shoe at a cool $605. Their collaborative Wallabees maintain the shoe’s classic crepe sole, decking out the upper in a bright orange fuzzy cool. And forget about tying your shoes, because boring laces are swapped for toggle fasteners.

Marlow cooling pillow protector
Marlow, Brooklinen’s sister brand, focuses on pillows and pillows only. We’ve always liked the brand’s hero product, but bemoaned its lack of a machine-washable cover—until now. If you’re a hot sleeper desperate to avoid those dreaded night sweats, you’ll be doubly grateful for the cooling technology.

Mode toothbrush
If you’re not using an electric toothbrush, you’re probably not brushing right. Oral-B and Sonicare might be the two biggest names in the game, but interest in the product category has spawned a number of new brands, including Mode. The upstart company’s debut product has all the makings of a great electric toothbrush, like a built-in two-minute timer and 38,000 brush strokes per minute, which is more than most competitors at the price point. Its slick black colorway will also class up your bathroom counter, and it docks magnetically, a welcome first.

Rothy’s x Evian racket bag
Chalk it up to U.S. Open, but we’ve got a yearning for all things tennis right now. Even if watching tennis is more your drift than actually playing, this racket bag—part of a sustainable tennis collection courtesy of Evian and Rothy’s—is a must buy. It’s made from 33 recycled plastic water bottles, which were collected from the actual U.S. Open. Don’t have an actual racket to put in there? No sweat: a cool bag is still a cool bag.
