Customer Review: "This little cart fit perfectly between the gap in my fridge and the surround. It's a sturdy metal so it won't buckle or bow under the weight of your pantry items. I used it to store all of my spices and it works perfectly, and fit everything I needed it to fit.

Came pre-assembled, all you needed to do is pop on the wheels, and it comes with the tool you need to do that. You just need to make sure you have all of the wheels parallel to each other or your cart won't roll in and out of your gaps smoothly.

Although this cart is a bit priceyer than similar ones available, it has all metal construction, and a nice crisp look with a sturdy handle. Highly recommended for tight space storage." — Amazon

This immersion blender from KitchenAid saved me when I lived in a studio apartment that had a kitchen with only six inches of counter space—it’s lightweight, has a super-long cable in case your outlets are in less-than-ideal locations, and is easy to clean and store. It does the work of a traditional blender when it comes to finishing soups and sauces. I would buy it over and over again.” — Julia Marzovilla, E-Commerce Editor

Customer Review: “Powerful and it does the job. Makes getting the recommended servings of fruit and vegetables easy - just toss them in a smoothie! And cleanup is so much faster and easier than breaking down a regular blender and cleaning it. You could do milkshakes with this. And some fun cocktails too! Can't wait to try it on things like homemade mayonnaise and tomato soup. Mine doesn't seem to have the variable speeds but that's OK - one speed does it all.” — Amazon

It is well constructed and looks good too ! Highly recommend this for anyone that needs a place for storage of literally anything!!” 

"I have this shoe rack in black, but this white one is better for my current space. It's super thin, which makes it a great option if you live in a space with a slim entryway—or if you have a lot of shoes. I've found that I can fit upwards of 15 pairs on this rack, so it really is small but mighty." — Julia Marzovilla, E-Commerce Editor

Customer Review: "After months of looking for shoe storage options for my entryway, I decided to splurge on this Yamazaki shoe rack. I love other Yamasaki products and Japanese design is great for small spaces. This shoe rack was incredibly easy to assemble. I used an electric screwdriver, which greatly sped up the assembly process. The screws are nice and tight, and my rack is fairly sturdy. I would not describe as "wobbly" as other reviewers have mentioned. A smaller screwdriver to attach the top wooden shelf is recommended (I had to angle my screwdriver from above).

The width spacing of the bars are good for my women's size 7 shoes, but also fit my boyfriends's larger shoes. On each level, I can comfortably display 3 pairs of sneakers, or squeeze 4 pairs of sandals. I like the wooden top shelf for decor or additional storage. The wooden top makes it easy to dress the space up and add a piece of art above it." — Amazon

They’re lightweight with smaller handles but are still free of all the bad stuff that you don’t want ending up in your food, like PTFE. Plus, they can go in your oven up to 550 degrees! 

Customer Review: “These are now my go-to pot and pan. The small pan is great for eggs, with or without butter. I actually like the eggs better with just a bit of butter. Another reviewer mentioned the handle rivets are not non-stick. True, but tilt the pan a bit and let that small bit of butter or oil coat them and it is not an issue. If you are not using butter or oil a bit of care and some soaking takes care of it. Another reviewer complained the outer bottom of the pan scratching if dragged across the stove top grate- I have been careful and not had an issue.” — Amazon

I prefer to keep my apartment as hands-free as possible, so this new smart speaker is a must-buy. It’s on sale for nearly half-off right now (for just $23!) and has all the features you know and love from previous Echo iterations plus a few more new ones. It shoes you the time at a glance, has better sound quality, and has the power to control the rest of your smart home devices around your apartment. 

Customer Review: “I've had all of the previous echo dots and this one is noticeably better. I really love the clock display and it does so much more than that. It displays the artist and song name when listening to music and the temperature when you ask about the weather. Also when listening to an audio book it will display the chapter and how many minutes it has remaining for that chapter. Very nice! Besides that, I also notice it is more responsive to my voice than ever before and the sound quality is great! I have a few smart lamps in my room and Alexa controls them so easily with me just asking what I want them to do. These are great and I really love my new echo dot!”

If there’s one thing to know about living in a small space, it’s this: you’re going to have to (probably) store your plates on some kind of exposed shelf. So, make sure that they look cute.

Plus, the black colorway means that it will hide any scratches or staining that pops up over time.

This one is less than $150 right now, for instance.

The winter months are approaching, which means a beanie is nonnegotiable on certain chilly days.

The fabric absorbs less moisture and causes less friction.

Customer Review: "My hair is a long, black straight mess, but with this beanie, it’s never ruined! Getting one in every color."

The hype is real on this lip mask. A tiny scoop goes a long way to deliver intense moisture that lasts long after you wake up. But you don't have to just use it as a sleep mask. I use it as a lip balm during the cold winter months, so I'm sure your recipient will appreciate it, too.

Apple AirTags might be the most useful gift you can give someone who travels often (or someone who loses things easily). She can throw one in her wallet, keys, AirPods, and even on her dog's collar. Once connected to your phone, they can play a sound out loud to alert you to your lost item, or if the item is far enough away, use the help of other Apple devices in the Find My network. 

Customer Review: "I use airtags for everything! My cat (airtag collar), my keys, luggage, camera, wallet and its life changing... With the airtag, I can remotely turn on a sound within the airtag to find it. This had helped me find my cat when she went missing in the basement of our home."

I have a handful of friends that are so obsessed with their fur babies, they have a hard time leaving the house (I would surely be the same way if I had a pet). To ease their anxiety just a bit, gift them a pet camera. With this camera, you can check on your pet at any time.

It also has great build quality - the rubber's high-quality, and the fabric feels like it has some weight behind it. The IPX67 means it can hold up even with a little dirt and water. It seems JBL focused exclusively on those two things, and left everything else by the way-side..."

For the gamer girl in your life, there is simply no other console better than the Playstation—and that's coming from someone who's played them all. Games load at lightning speed—no pesky lagging, loading, or skipping—and I can practically guarantee you've never seen as stunning graphics as on the PlayStation. The digital version allows you to keep your games on your console, but if you prefer to have physical game discs, you can always go with the original console. Trust me, you'll earn major brownie points with your gamer friend with this gift.

Customer Review: "I’ve been gaming for most of my life and never once have used a console like this before. The power this console has is actually insane. I game with a 1080p 100hz monitor, and it plays incredible. But I bet using an even better monitor or tv could process the graphics and smoothness even better. The smoothness, the little waiting time for games to load, and speed while in a game is absolutely nothing to complain about."

Before we know it, summer will be upon us, which means picnics and backyard parties during which you'll likely want to make sure your wine stays cold. 

As a studio-dweller, I constantly have a candle burning in my kitchen to prevent my space from smelling like food. Otherland is one of my favorite, go-to brands. Their candles burn evenly and completely, and they smell divine without being overpowering. Choose from one of three scents, like this woodsy one, on sale right now. 

I love Greco-Roman art, so this Hera Candle is my ideal gift.

Marie Claire's Associate Social Media Director, Lucia Tonelli, loves this planner by Leauchtturm1917. "There's a reason why the brand has remained a staple for writers, artists, amateur doodlers, etc., for over a century, and the German-made notebooks live up to the hype," she explains. "The thick paper prevents ink from bleeding onto other pages (or, in my case, prevents writing indentations from being heavy-handed), and the calendar formatting is ideal for daily, weekly, and monthly planning without being overly complicated. If you use a planner regularly, this sturdy, stylish, simple notebook is a must."

I've been a planner girl since middle school and still love them even well into my post-grad life.

On incorporating the planner into her wellness routine, Klich adds, "Using my planner and being organized clears my mind and makes me feel less stressed.

This planner, which focuses on wellness, daily to-dos, mindfulness, and goal-setting, is a favorite of Marie Claire's former Beauty Writer, Gabrielle Ulubay. "My favorite aspect of its design is its pages devoted to habit tracking: The entries allow users to dive deep into the habits they'd like to develop by unpacking why those habits are important to them and exactly how and when they'll work towards them," she shares.

Jenny Hollander, Marie Claire's Digital Director, swears by this planner. "Look, I hear you. Spending upwards of $300 on a planner feels crazy, right?" she says. "Hear me out: The Smythson Soho is so much more than a planner. Like your favorite wallet or handbag, it’s designed to go everywhere with you and be part of everything you do, from your social planning to wedding planning (hello!) and all your work needs. Two years ago, a friend gifted me my first Soho agenda, and I fell in love with the silky pages, meticulous design, and luxurious feel; I’ve been hooked ever since." She adds: "Just be warned: You can’t return to other planners. Nothing feels right after the Soho. (PS. If you’re going to splurge anyway, go ahead and get the gold monogramming. It’s worth it.)"

"I had a Franklin Planner back in school," says Dr. Lyons, "because I had such severe ADHD, and I relied on it because otherwise I didn’t know what my homework was. When you have a planner, it becomes a ritual, and it’s the ritual of writing things down and of checking things off. When we sink into a rhythm, and we have a ritual, it’s a restoration of time, and that’s a method of time management." He also says he loves the planner because it has a lot of space for notes and lists.

What We Love: Plenty of space for notes; expert-approved.

What We Don't: Organized by school year, so may not be for those who prefer annual planners.

Customer Review: "This planner is perfect for HR professionals with lots of interviews, to do lists and daily notes to look back on. I had this planner before and just reordered it. It's perfect for my organizational style. If you are detailed and like to brain dump, this is for you! The Best one back then and still today." — Amazon

Bullet journaling went viral not too long ago, and if it's still your preferred method of keeping your thoughts in order, this is the planner for you. Each page is lined with a grid to keep your writing as precise as possible. Speaking of pages, there are a ton of them, including a yearly calendar, a yearly index, weekly pages, daily pages, monthly pages, blank graph paper, and more. With the spaciousness of each page, you can easily use it not just to track each day's to-do, but keep a memory journal with tickets, photos, and other keepsakes.

What We Love: Large size; plenty of space for notes and planning; lots of different page formats.

What We Don't: Thin paper, so ink may bleed or show through.

Customer Review: "I am a true Hobnichi fan. This is my second year and I am totally into a groove. It is so easy to adjust how you are using it each year, months or week." — Amazon

For many of us, a planner is something we carry with us every single day, so why not invest in one that's truly luxurious? Made of genuine leather and filled with stunning silver gilded pages, this planner will make you feel like a boss every time you write in it, not to mention it will hold up to everyday wear and tear. It features plenty of room for your daily to-do lists, plus a leather snap closing, and matching bookmark, and includes a pen in its own case so you'll never lose it.

What We Love: Comes in nine colors; made of leather; includes a matching leather bookmark and pen.

What We Don't: Pricier than others on this list.

When a planner has over 9,000 five-star reviews, then you know it's a real winner. This one has a weekly layout with plenty of space under each day to write out all of your to-dos. There's also monthly overview pages, a list of holidays, and pages to keep track of your contacts and references, plus a ton of extra lined pages in the back for notes. Personally, I'm obsessed with this rose gold shade (it's currently on my Christmas wish list) but there are plenty of other cover colors to choose from.

What We Love: Lots of space for notes; includes two bookmarks; includes pen-holder; comes in multiple colors; has interior pocket; premium paper.

What We Don't: Some reviewers dislike the off-white paper color.

Customer Review: "This planner ticked all those boxes and is exactly what I needed. A place to make lists of things to do for each day, and a monthly calendar so I can get a big picture look. I also like the size - I didn’t want a giant binder sized ordeal. My favorite detail is the pen holder on the side." — Amazon

"I'm positively obsessed with this planner from Kate Spade. Not only is it chic (in line with my expectations from the brand, of course), but it’s also incredibly functional," says Ulubay. "It has full-page spreads for each day, leaving space for block scheduling, to-do lists, prioritizing, and meal planning. Weighing in at 168 pages, it’s bulky enough to last you for ages but lightweight enough to stow away in your bag when you’re on the go."

What We Love: Lots of space for each day; lightweight; easy to carry around; fashionable; editor-approved.

What We Don't: Not a lot of note-taking space.

Customer Review: "This is a beautiful planner, and the layout helps organize your day. Plus you dont have any wasted pages." — Amazon

This planner is the perfect tongue-in-cheek accessory for those who are chronically tardy. Not only is it vintage-inspired and therefore delightful to look at, but it also comes with two cheeky floating pens: The first says "procrastinator" and changes to "mastercrastinator" while in use, while the other says "professional" and changes to "adequatefessional" while in use. And, if you're into desk pad-style planners, check out the brand's weekly planner pad,  which lets you separate and plan tasks by morning, afternoon, and evening. I like how interactive this option is, with its fun trivia and quips that keep me amused and engaged. Plus, since it's not dated, there's no pressure to use it every day, and I never feel like I'm being wasteful for not using it on the weekends."

What We Love: Fun cover, trivia, and spaces for doodling; comes with pens.

What We Don't: Hard cover makes it bulky.

Customer Review: "Each page is full of random holidays, celebrity birthdays, doodle activities and writing prompts. Overall a fun planner." — Amazon

We all use planners for different reasons—while some of us use them religiously to manage our to-do lists, others may use them to track personal finances. If you're in the latter camp or want to be, this planner is for you. This 12-month, undated planner is ideal for those looking to nail down their budget or the advanced planner wishing to save more throughout the year. Each month, you get a page to set your goals and budget, and each week, you get a page to track your expenses so you can really see how much those Starbucks runs add up. Throughout the book, there's even quotes, tips, and challenges to keep you inspired and motivated.

What We Love: Financial-focused; focus on goal setting; easy to use; completely undated.

What We Don't: Not for to dos, work, and other traditional daily planning.

Customer Review: "This planner has everything I need for budgeting and tracking spending. I have used this for 2023 and ordered a new one for 2024. Love the setup." — Happy Planner

I use this planner, and I can't live without it. Its natural, butterfly theme never fails to uplift me, and it makes me feel chic and organized on even my most chaotic days. One of my favorite features is the sheer amount of blank note pages in the back of the book, which is extremely handy when I've forgotten my separate notebook (or when I can't fit it in my bag). It’s also incredibly affordable, and because it’s updated, it can last you for ages.

What We Love: Appealing design; lightweight; editor-approved; includes stickers.

What We Don't: Thin cover that may get damaged easily.

This option was created by Cameron herself and has a focus on gratitude journaling. She explains, "My gratitude journal has spaces to show gratitude for five things that I have already and for five things that I’m manifesting. It has a goal statement, it has a state of being a statement, and it has a statement on sending love (so it's 'Who am I sending love to today?')." She says part of her motivation was to open people up to what she calls the two types of gratitude: "There's gratitude for what you have in your life already, and there’s gratitude for manifestation. There, you’re grateful not for the things you have but for the things on their way." 

What We Love: Developed by an expert; gratitude focus; plenty of space for journaling and to-do lists.

What We Don't: No date blocks.

Customer Review: "It is laid out and such an organized and informative way. It has a section for all things in my daily routine such as present gratitude, sending love, setting intentions, writing out your goal, affirmations, and future gratitude. It is truly a one stop shop and I will definitely be buying one every six months!" — Amazon

When I came across BURGA's planners, I was shocked at just how many options there are for covers. There's so many (over 200 designs, to be exact), that I had to go through the six pages of options thrice just to nail down my favorites. BURGA has a planner whether you're a minimalist or prefer bolder and brighter colors. Each one is bound in luxurious, durable vegan leather that will keep up with your daily wear and tear. Then, you have 144 silky pages thick enough to protect against ink bleeding to plan your week and overall year. As if this wasn't the perfect planner already, it also has an interior pocket for notes, two fabric bookmarks, and a smart metal time tag.

What We Love: Comes in over 200 designs; durable; made of vegan leather; includes interior pocket for notes, two fabric bookmarks, and a smart metal time tag; has a magnetic clasp closure.

What We Don't: Does not include space on date blocks to write dates.

Customer Review: "I've been using BURGA’s Infinity Planner for a while now, and I just love the flexibility it brings to my life! The undated pages are definitely the best part. There's no waste—if I skip a week, I just pick up right where I left off, no blank pages left behind. It's perfect for my sometimes unpredictable schedule. I organize things exactly how I want, at my own pace. Plus, the metal time tag? Absolute genius! It's like this planner gets me and my needs." — BURGA

We plan our waking hours, so why not plan our sleep, too? This highly original planner maps out a six-week program developed by therapists to help you achieve better, more restful, and more regular sleep. I've been using it over the past few weeks, and it's made me more thoughtful and intentional about my nightly routine so that I can be better rested (and more productive) during the day. It also helped me understand what practices weren’t working for me before bed.

What We Love: Educational; editor-approved; developed by therapists; wellness-focused; lightweight.

What We Don't: Not for to dos, work, and other traditional daily planning.

Customer Review: "This actually went above and beyond my expectations. It’s a great tool that I highly recommend!" — Therapy Notebooks

This planner comes with a special pen and pages that can be easily erased with a microfiber cloth for endless re-use. And, of course, the planner is undated. It’s a sustainable response to the waste that planners generate from being disposed of year after year, and it has a design that Cameron would approve of, with space for reasonable to-do lists, a morning routine, and gratitude lists. It also comes in multiple sizes, so you can pick one that suits you (and your work bag) best.

What We Love: space for routine setting, goal setting, and gratitude; editor-approved; comes in multiple sizes.

What We Don't: Reviewers note the pen dries too quickly.

Customer Review: "I have the large panda planner but moved to the small one for portability. Love all their products, and this planner keeps me organized and moving forward!!" — Rocket Book

This planner is perfect for people who, like me, sometimes go a week or so at a time without touching their planner (think: vacations, time off, or those weeks when you don’t have time to sit down and write). The flexible, undated layout of this option, coupled with a handy removable calendar clip, allows users to use the planner whenever they'd like, take a break when appropriate, and then pick back up where they left off. You can kiss wasted pages goodbye!

What We Love: Includes a secure, functional bookmark; completely undated; editor-approved; comes in multiple colors.

What We Don't: Daily blocks are small.

If you're especially goal-driven and want to give yourself deadlines based on the current professional quarter, this planner is the one for you. It also comes with prompts designed to bring you inspiration and motivate you along your journey. When I worked in sales, this planner was incredibly handy and allowed me to focus on my quarterly goals and overall growth, plus it kept me motivated in what was a notoriously challenging field. Plus, it comes in several different colorways so you can change up the vibe quarter after quarter.

What We Love: Focused on goal setting; geared toward motivation and persistence; editor-approved; comes in multiple colors.

What We Don't: Doesn't cover the full year (only three months at a time).

I'm obsessed with Silk and Sonder's unique take on the planner. This book is meant for focusing on self-development, wellness, and personal growth. This means that it includes features like inspirational quotes, undated calendar blocks, mood trackers, creativity exercises, gratitude lists, and more. With this planner, you can feel better about yourself and your trajectory every day. Plus, it’s thin and lightweight, which makes it a breeze to carry it around, whether you’re working at a traditional office or posted up at a cozy café.

What We Love: Wellness-focused; space for gratitude; lightweight.

What We Don't: Thin cover that can get damaged easily.

Customer Review: "I love my new journal! I make time to use it every day and it is helping me to build routines and rituals. The layout is adaptable in so many different ways and lets you track so many different things. This was one of the best choices I've made in my mental health journey." — Silk & Sonder

If working out is an important part of your day, take a look at this best-selling fitness journal, which includes monthly calendars, daily logs, and places for goal-setting. Not only is it a great way to stay on top of your growth and development, but it’s also fabulous for looking back and patting yourself on the back for how far you’ve come. Reviewers adore the book, with multiple happy customers saying that it's easy to use and straightforward and that they can't go to the gym without it.

What We Love: Focus on goal setting; great for quantifying growth; easy to use; comes in multiple colors.

What We Don't: Not right for to dos, work, and other traditional daily planning.

Customer Review: "I love this book. I am a bit of a journal addict and have bought many journals that I never use. There are two things that work for me with this journal: it's small and lightweight, and the formatting is simple." —Amazon

"While there's a lot to love about my apartment, one aspect that I can definitely do without is its poor ventilation. The stagnant air quality makes it humid all year long, the heating system is uncomfortably dry, and there's no air conditioner at all. When I moved into the small space, I knew I'd need a compact device to manage this issue, which is where the Shark Air Purifier comes in: It heats, cools, and purifies, and it even combats odors. It also mercifully has a brightness control function, so I can dim the LED display at night when I"m trying to get some rest." -Gabrielle Ulubay, E-Commerce Writer

"This is the vacuum to end all vacuums. It is powerful with two different suction strengths, lightweight, and incredibly easy to use. My favorite function is ability to switch the different nozzle ends so that it can act like a dustbuster when I want to get at the crevices of my couch, or a regular long vacuum when I want to suck up the dust bunnies collecting under my too-heavy-to-move bookcases. The fact that it's cordless means you don't have to struggle with finding an outlet that will reach if you're vacuuming the stairs or moving about chasing hairballs. When I was putting together my wedding registry, a friend reached out to me saying "If you're planning to have kids or pets, you NEED this vacuum" and now that I own it, I couldn't agree more!" -Sally Holmes, Editor-in-Chief

"There's a reason everyone you know owns a Switch. (We have two, lest my fiancé and I fight over ours like small children.) Not only are all the games from your childhood available on it—Spyro! Crash Bandicoot! Every Pokémon game unto infinity!—but there's always a new game to get into (I did not think I'd be a Breath of the Wild person, myself, but 200 gameplay hours later, here we are). Plus, the sheer portability of the full-size version, which seamlessly transitions from your television to the handheld screen, never fails to come in handy; I've played my Switch in airports and on subways and everywhere in between. I'm not convinced I would have gotten through lockdown without my nightly ritual of a bubble bath, my Switch, and a glass of wine." -Jenny Hollander, Director of Content Strategy

"Let me start by saying that when it comes to cooking, I try to cut as many corners as I can. I cook with love of course, but I hate slaving over a stove just to have a delicious meal. But, if I could only use one kitchen appliance for the rest of my life, it would without a doubt be the Thermomix. It features over 13 modes and 20 functions, and it’s relatively quiet, which is great when preparing those late-night snacks. It’s an all-around foolproof, high-end blender that cooks and stirs so I can always bet on cutting my cooking time in half. I can’t believe I'm saying this, but cooking is finally exciting again." -Deena Campbell, Beauty Director

"If you don’t want to fit a treadmill or bike in your humble city abode, Bala’s functional fitness equipment is a great way to make space for fitness in your home. Known for its stylish weighted bangles, the company now offers other fun ways to pump up your strength training or aerobics routines, like the Bala Beam and Power Ring. They even have curated gift sets for pilates and stretching. All pieces are aesthetic in colors that are pleasing to the eye." -Tanya Benedicto Klich, Senior Editor 

"As a Java enthusiast, I take my morning coffee very seriously- don't strike up a convo before I've been adequately caffeinated. And so I'm always looking for the latest and greatest when preparing coffee- from drip to pressed to pods. When the mocha master first came on my radar, I was drawn to the sleek design, but the efficiency, consistently great taste, and super easy cleanup have made me a convert. Each machine is handmade and individually tested in The Netherlands, taking into consideration the optimum H2O brew temp and coffee-to-water ratio. There are no frivolous bells and whistles, and it looks pretty impressive on a counter. If, like me, you need a little (or a lot) of coffee to power you through your day, look no further." -Sara Holzman, Style Director

"Muji is known for their sleek, efficient products and this diffuser is definitely one of their hero products. Its footprint is small, which is great if you’re low on space. It’s simultaneously a night light and an aroma diffuser, but in the winter, almost like a baby humidifier. Assembly is easy and clean-up is a breeze. The mist is even and soft, a little bit of peace and tranquility for your home." -Brittany Holloway-Brown, Art Director

"For show-and-tell in fifth grade, the item I was most proud of and couldn't wait to show off to my peers was my local library card. In other words, reading has always been a favorite pastime of mine. Fast forward to now, and one of my most prized and beloved possessions is my Amazon Kindle. It empowers me to jump from novel to novel, genre to genre, without having to lug around stacks of books or frequent trips to the library. If there was such a thing as adult show-and-tell, sharing my love for this little electronic reader would be my swan song." - Emma Childs, Fashion Editor

"I have a special place in my heart for products that turn mundane necessities into works of beauty— like this laptop sleeve. I used to throw my laptop into a tote and say a prayer that it didn't get scratched or destroyed by the dozens of other things in my bag, until I got my hands on the Samara product. Made from buttery soft vegan leather, available in a dozen gorgeous muted shades, and accentuated with brass detailing, it makes lugging your laptop around an absolutely elegant experience. Not to mention, Samara is a female-founded, sustainable brand gives part of its proceeds to The Soular Backpack—a product that helps schoolchildren in East Africa." -Neha Prakash, Entertainment Director

"I just moved into a new apartment with—in a shocking turn of events—too much wall space. My regular TV would look bizarre against a large white wall, so I pivoted to projectors. After days of falling into internet rabbit holes, streaming YouTube reviews, and assessing my space, I landed on Epson’s short-throw projector; a powerful option that can be placed near the wall it projects onto (no mounting needed), won’t be dulled by natural light (rare, as it turns out), and features a powerful speaker that really, truly, makes you feel like you’re at the movies." -Lucia Tonelli, Social Media Editor

"I never understood people who loved working out. I dreaded the before, the during, and the after of just about every class to ever exist. But a couple of years ago, I started following Melissa Wood Tepperberg on Instagram, mainly because I found her to just be a soothing energy on my feed. After hearing my friends’ rave reviews about her pilates-meets-yoga-meets-meditative workouts, I begrudingly bought a subscription to her website. Fast foward three years, and I can’t imagine my life without her guided workouts (and my bala weights). Rolling out my mat and dedicating just 20-30 minutes of movement per day has not only transformed my body, but also my mindset. It brings me a sense of calm (Melissa has the world’s most soothing voice), gives me a boost of energy, and has made my body stronger than I ever thought possible. I’m partial to the full body pilates flows, but the newly relaunched platform has something for everyone—whether your looking for recipes, meditations, or beginner-friendly workouts." -Samantha Holender, Beauty Editor

"Cooking has become my new favorite hobby, so I was thrilled when I received this as a gift last year. It's become my most-used pot in my collection ever since. It's the perfect size for sauces and stews, can be used in my oven, and looks cute when I store it on my stove." -Julia Marzovilla, E-Commerce Editor

"I like cooking. I do. But the hassle around it—deciding what to cook, finding a recipe, hunting for ingredients, shopping for more ingredients, measuring out what you need—always feels overwhelming, especially because I'm not a natural cook. Enter HelloFresh, which I re-subscribe to every winter and then off and on the rest of the year. You can pick your meals ahead of time; the box comes to your door with the meat frozen in dry ice so it doesn't go bad; everything is pre-measured; and you still get the domestic satisfaction of actually cooking, albeit with (very clear) guidelines. If I could afford one every week, I'd use them until—or if—I became one of those people who's "known for their cooking." -Jenny Hollander, Director of Content Strategy

"When you're a busy mom, you’ll need to streamline your time when it comes to preparing homemade, nutrient-rich meals for your littles. Luckily, subscription services like Little Spoon can deliver fresh organic baby foods, immunity boosters, smoothies, and toddler & kid meals to your doorstep. Confession: I’ve gladly heated up for myself a few of their mac & cheese and turkey kale slider plates in between zoom calls. Delicious and healthy." -Tanya Benedicto Klich, Senior Editor

"While I wouldn't call myself a forgetful person, there's something about me with chargers: I always misplace them or get them confused with other, similar looking ones, and always find myself frustrated when I'm forced to add yet another one to my overwhelming collection. So, when I heard about Adidas' solar-powered headphones, I was over the moon. These incredibly comfortable, high-quality over-the-ear headphones don't require any cords. Instead, they charge from both natural and artificial light, meaning that I never have to worry about dwindling battery life, proximity to outlets, or misplaced cords again. Plus, this approach to battery life means that listening to music has never been more sustainable: Not only is charging fossil fuel-free, but the headphones themselves are made from 87 percent recycled plastic." -Gabrielle Ulubay, E-Commerce Writer

"These headphones fit the bill of being both aesthetically pleasing and effective. They deliver quality sound while blocking out all the hubbub around you. In fact, they've successfully passed the twin test: I can take work calls and not only hear what people are saying, but actually focus on what people are saying, when my infant twins are, let's call it, *playing * in the background." -Sally Holmes, Editor-in-Chief

"I know just how important it is to get your daily eight glasses (at least) of water, but I still struggle constantly to get all my ounces in. This "smart" water bottle is a must if you struggle with your water intake like I do. With a connected app, this bottle tracks all of your water and lets you know when to drink throughout the day by glowing, which you can also customize on the app. Water stays extra cold thanks to stainless steel and the charge lasts for at least a week, plus there's even a tracker so you won't ever lose your bottle. Who knew a water bottle could be so smart?" -Brooke Knappenberger, Editorial Fellow

"For moms-on-the-go, the Elvie pump is the perfect complement to your hospital-grade electric breast pump. Whether you commute, work remotely, manage your household, or plan to travel, having the option to go wireless is essential. The discreet and portable devices will ensure you stay on schedule and prevent mastitis. For best results, buy a strong, supportive pumping bra, and get acquainted with assembly and instructions before the baby arrives – after a few YouTube tutorials, it is all simple and intuitive–and a timesaver." -Tanya Benedicto Klich, Senior Editor

"We are officially in the throes of soup season—aka my favorite time of the year! And, believe it or not, I enjoy making my own from scratch. Firstly, because I like to pretend I'm the wonderfully capable and glamorous Ina Garten. And secondly, KitchenAid's Immersion Blender makes the soup-making process as close to effortless as possible. The spinning stainless steel blades ensure you achieve a silky texture and due to the blender's compact size, it barely takes up any space in my micro-sized NYC kitchen." - Emma Childs, Fashion Editor

"Listen—I know your portable speaker may do the trick, but nothing compares to a true sound system. When I first became acquainted with LG’s soundbar and speaker, the hype was instantly obvious. Between the powerful surround sound, the voice assistant connectability, the clarity of sound, and the sleek design, it’s an investment that’s worth every penny." -Lucia Tonelli, Social Media Editor

"One of my favorite hobbies is film photography. I use my photography as a visual journal and I wanted to share that with my friends and family. This camera helped me do that, it’s a point and shoot film camera so it makes it easy for any beginner to use. You get to capture life in the moment with your loved ones." -Jonelle Afurong, Junior Visual Designer

"Until last year, I was one of those people who didn't care about suitcases. I'd use an old duffel bag or my ropey weekender for short trips, and a cheap Amazon suitcase for longer ones. Done and done, I thought. That is, until my fiancé gifted me an Away carry-on. When it came time to travel again, I dutifully packed it—this thing holds a lot of stuff, I thought—and took it with me. You guys, this thing overhauled my entire travel experience. Why did nobody tell me about it sooner? I rolled it with ease around the airport with almost no exertion, stopping in cheerfully at every shop because, well, I could now. It lifted easily into the overhead bin, was a breeze to carry down stairs, and saved me a trip to the baggage terminal. I have taken it on four trips and have been going on (and on, and on) to everybody about it ever since. (I also returned the favor and bought my fiancé his own, because he was jealous. Understandably so.)" -Jenny Hollander, Director of Content Strategy

"I've never been a coffee person, but I've always been a tea girl. (I average about three cups of tea daily, and on the bad days, let's just say I keep the Earl Grey on tap). And this revolutionary self-heating mug by OHOM makes my mornings exponentially better. In addition to the fine ceramic mug being adorable, the dual-purpose charging pad keeps your beverage perpetually warm (at 130 degrees Fahrenheit, to be exact) while also juicing up your cell phone." - Emma Childs, Fashion Editor

"Let me be clear: I’m not a car girl. I’ve looked under the hood of a car three times in my entire life—and that’s being generous. But there’s something about the Volvo XC90 that makes me giddy with excitement every time I drive it. Aside from it delivering on the promise of performance (think driver-assistance technology) and power (think 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds), it’s a three-row SUV that gives my kids enough space to stretch out (translation: throw things around) while road tripping. I’m never a fan of traveling with two small children for any amount of time, but if the Volvo XC90 is involved, I can always trust it to be a memorable time." -Deena Campbell, Beauty Director

"Not only is this speaker gorgeous, with its unique pillars of twinkling lights that synchronize with the music of your choice, but it also boasts an impressive level of sound for its compact size. One night, when I first started using this piece, I turned the volume all the way up on my favorite song and was pleasantly surprised to find that the quality never became tinny or staticky, and that it continued to fill every corner of my apartment with balanced, even sound, no matter the volume level or genre. It's my new favorite speaker, and its appearance definitely makes it a conversation starter during dinner parties." -Gabrielle Ulubay, E-Commerce Writer

"As cliche as it may sound, I do not feel like a fully-functioning human until I've had my morning cup of coffee. Coffee is a non-negotiable for me, so I didn't feel too bad splurging on this coffee maker, and once I actually tried it, I realized that it's so much more than a coffee maker. This small, but mighty machine turns my morning routine into a little luxury—my coffee is extra rich, extra foamy, and overall tastes incredible. I also love how this machine detects the different pod shapes and adjusts how much water is needed automatically. All in all, this Nespresso machine has dramatically changed my mornings for the better." -Brooke Knappenberger, Editorial Fellow

"Inventor Dr. Harvey Karp is among the strongest allies to the motherhood community, donating hundreds of these robotic bassinets to understaffed and underfunded neonatal intensive care units across the country. For any mom who wants to invest in better rest for her baby–and herself–the sleek Snoo functions as a sleep-trainer, processing a baby’s cries and auto-responds with rocking and white noise. It mimics the in utero environment, soothing babies and giving new parents more opportunity to rest and recover during the fourth trimester." -Tanya Benedicto Klich, Senior Editor 

"To be honest, I'm a complete nerd: I love learning, picking up new skills, and digesting new pieces of knowledge. And while books often help me get my fill, when it comes to skills like playing an instrument (I play the guitar and am learning to play piano), I need the much more tactile, traditional instruction of a teacher. Masterclass mimics that feeling of learning in a classroom and allows you to take as many classes as you'd like for only $15 per month. What tutor offers a better rate than that?" -Gabrielle Ulubay, E-Commerce Writer

"Sleeping has always been a struggle for me. A million other factors aside, it's difficult for me to tune out my mind's racing thoughts when I'm trying to wind down. This SNOOZ White Noise Machine, however, has drastically improved my bedtime routine by helping to soothe my pre-slumber anxious brain. It significantly blocks out surrounding noise with its spinning fan, and you can also easily program it from your cell phone with the free SNOOZ app." - Emma Childs, Fashion Editor

"It's embarrassingly hard for me to leave my dog at home alone. On one hand, he does have significant medical issues—don't even ask about my vet bills—but also, I'm an anxious person who spends a lot of time in What If land. My Furbo dog camera—and its little sister, the Furbo Mini—is just about the only thing that keeps me sane. I can throw my dog treats, analyze his sleeping position, watch his damn breathing if I need to; I get alerts when he's barking, vomiting, or if an alarm is going off. Plus, the Furbo Dog Nanny add-on records when people come into the apartment, so I get these cute little videos of my dog practically combusting with joy when I walk in the door. I consider the Furbo a co-parent at this point." -Jenny Hollander, Director of Content Strategy

"Clean teeth. Full heart. Can't lose. That's the motto I live by, courtesy of my Philips Sonicare electric toothbrush. It comes with three modes—clean, white, and gum care—so you can oscillate between different brushing patterns depending on your teeth. And specifically in regards to the whitening function, I can attest that my teeth have less stains and appear much brighter when I use this product compared to a manual toothbrush. Plus, this electric bad boy is automatically programmed for a two-minute brush period, so you can rest assured knowing you're doing your dentist proud." - Emma Childs, Fashion Editor

"Gardening is one of my favorite hobbies, but living in a large city makes indulging in it pretty challenging, particularly since the soil quality in my neighborhood makes me wary about eating any herbs or vegetables I might grow in my yard. But with my hydroponic RISE Smart Garden, I'm able to grow herbs and veggies in the comfort of my kitchen. I can't even begin to describe how delightful it feels to pluck herbs straight from the source and throw them into a salad, soup, or sauce in-progress. Plus, the garden comes with a mobile app that reminds me when to change the water, feed the plants, and clean the structure, removing any need for guesswork or plant expertise." -Gabrielle Ulubay, E-Commerce Writer

"Bassinets, car seats, strollers – buying baby equipment adds up. I am passionate about recommending items that not only come in handy–but pay dividends in time and space-saving, convenience, and of course safety. I can not imagine traveling and flying with a baby without a Doona. From car to airport, through security and at the check-in gate, the Doona moves with you and your family seamlessly through any journey. It converts from baby seat to stroller in seconds. While it has no storage underneath, you can purchase a snap-on Doona bag to hold the diaper essentials." -Tanya Benedicto Klich, Senior Editor

Thanks to Bluemercury's Cyber Monday sale, you can score this gift set for less than $100. It comes with one hand cream and one scented hair mist to instantly elevate your cold-weather routine.

Floral fragrances are my least favorite scent family out there, but when done right, they can read so sophisticated and elegant. Do Son is just that with notes of tuberose, orange blossom, and jasmine. It doesn't cross over into grandmotherly territory, which is my main issue with florals, but instead, it's fresh, green, and has a modern edge. You can score a gift card of up to $200 when you purchase this thorugh Neiman Marcus, also!

"Dipytque's signature scents are made even more elegant and refined when paired with this stunning hourglass diffuser. With 34 Boulevard Saint Germain—the scent you're confronted with when you walk into a Diptyque store—you're getting a robust, full-bodied fragrance featuring fresh green notes great for any season. And it's refillable, so, it really is the gift that keeps on giving (for an hour at a time)." — Alicia Lutes, Freelance Writer

"I'm going to be honest with you, I don't know what some of the scents in this lotion are—Immortelle floral water? Petitgrain?—but I do know that I love sweet almond oil and Virginia cedar, and Roman chamomile floral water and sesame oil also sound like a nice way to round them out." — Alicia Lutes

Personally, I find that the pinnacle of self-care is lighting a luxurious candle and curling up on the couch to read a book, but the candle itself has a lot to do with the mood. I always achieve peak coziness when I light up Feu de Bois. This scent is like having a bonfire in your own home—cozy, warm, smokey, and a touch spicy all wrapped up into one long-lasting candle, so it's the perfect burn for winter days.

Diptyque's take on musk fragrance is one I can actually get behind. Some fresh and clean perfumes just smell like laundry detergent, which I am so not a fan of. But while Fleur de Peau does have that powdery scent, it's not cloying or overpowering. Think of a vintage book shop and you get Fleur de Peau, and I mean that in the best way possible. Plus, you get a $50 gift card when you buy this perfume at Neiman Marcus right now, so it's basically on sale for less than $200.

"I love the scent of figs so much. It's so sensual and warm, mysterious yet welcoming. If I were to have a signature scent (I don't because I love changing things up every season), it would absolutely be heavily fig-based. Which is what I love about Figuier. And, well, to have a diffuser filled with the stuff would certainly be a gift I'd like to receive this year." — Alicia Lutes

When I heard this was the very same scent that filled Diptyque's stores, my interest was immediately piqued. The fragrance is so distinct and inviting, who wouldn't want to replicate that into their own homes? The fact that this candle burns for a whopping 90 hours and comes in a minimalist chic jar means that it just shot straight up to the top spot on my Christmas wishlist. And yes, you also get a $50 gift card with this candle at Neiman Marcus!

This sexy scent contains notes of wood and smoke, so it's a perfect set-the-mood type candle for your apartment (and it's on sale for 15 percent off.)

"Few scents are as reliably enjoyable as the Ambre candle. It's elegant and refined, with warm wood, vetiver, and patchouli wrapping around a bouquet of spices, incense, rockrose, and tonka bean. If feeling like a luxurious woman is the vibe you're after, this candle is the answer. It's the perfect wintertime accessory for anyone on your list. At the end of the day, don't we all just want to feel a little bit fancier and cozier this holiday season? So go ahead and get the candle. It's a necessity, darling." — Alicia Lutes

"This is the room spray I use. I spray a few spritzes into my living room and kitchen right after I've finished cooking or a few minutes before my guests arrive to make my apartment smell even more clean and fresh. It's lightweight and doesn't give me a headache. I've had the bottle for months and I'm not even close to running out—the formula is super potent without being too much." — Julia Marzovilla Fashion E-Commerce Editor

"Let this on-sale scent transport you to a luxury Italian beach (even in the dead of winter.) Notes of orange blossom and beeswax give you the ultimate summer vibe—that's why it's one of my personal favorites to light when the winter weather creeps in" — Julia Marzovilla

"This recommendation goes out to all my girlies on BookTok scrolling the 'Dark Academia' tag. The mysterious, comforting ode to writing, drawing, and all things pen-to-paper, Encre's interpretation of the "ink" scent is infused with licorice and patchouli to emulate the mineral qualities found in ink. It's an alluring but divisive scent—like that bad boy librarian you know you shouldn't follow into the dark basement archives, but you're going to anyway." — Alicia Lutes

"Body and hair oil? From Diptyque? Say less! This silky oil spray sounds like exactly the sort of thing the girl I want to be would use on the daily. Made with sweet almond oil and avocado oil, and featuring jasmine, ylang-ylang, and saffron notes, this oil sounds as rich and luxurious as I would have to be to afford to use this every day." — Alicia Lutes

Everything about this fragrance is so cool and unique. Oud wood and rose paired with creamy vanilla and smokey incense aren't notes that sound like they 'go together' which is exactly what makes this fragrance interesting. Its distinctive smokey, vanilla, floral combo is sure to demand attention and its said to last all day long, so you can bet this is another fragrance on my wishlist.

Mint is not a note I've come across in a lot of perfumes, and it's especially rare to see it as the celebrated note, so I find Eau de Minthé especially distinct. Paired with rose, patchouli, and geranium, this fragrance is fresh, green, and memorable. It's not as minty as you may think, but the mint note feels more uplifting and refreshing than anything. In typical Diptyque fashion, Eau de Minthé is long-lasting and modern and something I don't smell around me too often.

"Sometimes you just want to be transported to another time and place. Diptyque's Orpheon scent does that, taking you to Paris in the '60s. This jazzy, smoky scent is more androgynous than most, but that makes it so intoxicating. Named for the bar in Paris the creators of the company used to love to hang out at—the Orphéon—the scent is brimming with a smoky, woody base that's accented with the warmth of tonka bean and juniper berry, with a hint of jasmine at the back. It lingers and wears in such a way that you're sure to feel like the coolest, most mysterious version of yourself when you wear it." — Alicia Lutes

"'Tis the season for your home to smell like a comforting hug. And does anything feel more warming and wonderful than a candle that smells of pine, baked treats, and more? This set is a great gift option (to yourself or otherwise). Sapin (Pine) features notes of pine, resin, and cedar. Friandise (Sweet Treat) features notes of gingerbread, cinnamon, and vanilla. Star features a floral, fresh scent. Warm, calming comfort: is there anything better?" — Alicia Lutes

“I have plenty of basic traits, but my love for Diptque's Baies scent is foremost among them. This classic, beloved Diptque scent is a flowery, fruity delight, perfect for brightening up your living space and making it feel fancier than it really is.” — Jenny Hollander, Digital Director

“I am not usually a fan of rose-scented perfumes. They’re often heady and leave me feeling woozy from the fake flowery-ness. However, this one from Diptyque was the first scent that actually smelled like the flower it represents as it exists in nature. Sweet, light, delicate, and free of headache-inducing undertones.” — Julia Marzovilla

“I promised myself no more candles. My collection has grown from a casual interest to a bordering-on-hoarding obsession. I'm one forgotten wick away from burning my apartment building to the ground. But then I smelled Diptyque's Roses and began to wonder, "Hey, what's the problem with just one more candle?" The scent is wonderfully fresh and purely floral, conjuring a strong memory of wandering through your grandma's rose garden. The burn time for the 190g option is 50 hours, but if you size up to the large, the rose candle will last you for 90.” — Emma Childs, Fashion Features Editor

“You know when you’re about to have people over and you want to freshen up your space last minute? That’s where this room spray comes in. After (embarrassingly) using it as a body mist for a few weeks, my fiance pointed out that it was one of his favorite scents of all time. Now, our apartment smells like it all the time. The bottle is pricey at $72, but one spritz in each room is more than enough to flood the space with the light fruity scent. Yes, it does linger in the space for hours. And no, it doesn’t get overpowering as you sit in the space over time.” — Julia Marzovilla

“I love giving (and getting) this trio as a gift. It’s got their three most popular scents (Baies is my favorite), and if the person isn’t sure what scent they want, these are the perfect trial size. They’ll burn for 50+ hours if you take good enough care of them, even though they’re small. The great thing about Diptyque scents is their softness—I am absolutely not a fan of rose scent generally, but their Roses is aromatic without being saccharine.” — Katherine Igoe, Contributing Editor

“If you could bottle the joy of the holiday season, I promise this is exactly what it would smell like. With gingerbread, vanilla, and candied orange as the star ingredients, this candle instantly warms up any room and fills me with the holiday spirit. Because it’s limited-edition, the glass jar is particularly festive with gold and red detailing. I'll burn through this the week of Christmas or wrap it up as a perfect gift under the tree." — Samantha Holender, Beauty Editor

“Is it winter? Yes. Am I still thinking about summer fragrances? Yes. This scent, launched in June 2023, is the ideal sexy summer perfume that I will 100 percent be wearing the second the weather begins to warm in the early spring—that’s how much I miss it. Scents like bergamot mingle with notes of Petitgrain, an essential oil extracted from the leaves of an orange tree, and Balsam of Peru, which is similar to a vanilla note with warm undertones and a hint of cinnamon. Plus, the gold-labeled packaging makes it an easy gift.” — Julia Marzovilla

"Do I aspire to be the sort of wealthy woman of leisure that would have a giant candle in my home? Yes, please! With any luck, I will find myself in that very position very soon (because I am manifesting winning the lottery or at least finding $500 on the ground—whatever works), and this candle will be my first purchase." — Alicia Lutes

"A little curiosity in life is always a good thing—particularly when it comes to trying out new scents. Frankly, I'm always going to be a travel-size perfume fan because I love mixing it up and keeping my fragrances on me while I travel. If you aren't sure which Diptyque scent is for you, this discovery set is the perfect gift for yourself or someone you love who needs help smelling good." — Alicia Lutes

"Nothing says 'pleasantly fresh' to me more than the smell of cypress trees bathing in the warm glow of the late summer sun. As someone who doesn't always love a 'fresh' or 'clean' forward scent, the warmer, resinous notes in Diptyque's Cypres scent make it an alluring option for anyone who's looking for that, but different." — Alicia Lutes

"Sometimes candles need to serve a utilitarian function, like cleaning up the smells in the air your charcoal filters and cleaning products cannot do, which is why we love La Droguerie. It does just that in a more vegetal/tomato-forward way, which is very appealing. A more perfect kitchen candle does not exist!" — Alicia Lutes,

"Every year, Diptyque comes out with a new holiday-adjacent scent, and this year's limited edition number is rose-fronted, but rounded out by sandalwood, mimosa, and iris, making it a richly floral number. We also love the deep blue glass, so why not give this one a try?" — Alicia Lutes

"Sometimes our shampoo does not give us the olfactory burst that we so crave. Enter: Diptyque's hair mist, filled with the freshness of orange blossom and bitter orange, rounded out with the warm woodiness of juniper berries, angelica, and patchouli." — Alicia Lutes

"I am generally obsessed with the scent of burning wood and glamorous candles. Diptyque's taper dinner candles, waxed from the tip to the base, are a winner for me. Tall, unique, and imbued with one of the brand's most beloved scents? Sign me up! Also, please excuse me while I run out to throw a dinner party specifically so I can burn these candles." — Alicia Lutes

"When the colder season comes around, my hands get dry, cracked, and generally unhappy. And Diptyque's hand wash does just that. Plus the added notes of rosemary and lavender—with hints of ylang-ylang and amber—makes for very happy hands." — Alicia Lutes

This product is one of Le Creuset's signature items, and is the one that likely comes to mind when you think of the brand. It's stove-safe, oven-safe, and perfect for sauces and stews.

This bistro grill, which is exclusive to Sur la Table, heats evenly and allows fat to drain so you can cook healthy food easily and in the comfort of your own kitchen.

This stainless steel set comes with skillets measuring in at eight and 10 inches. They're made from surgical-grade stainless steel that resists stains and discoloration, and they have ergonomic handles that make cooking more comfortable.

Casseroles are a staple in most households, and this shallow pan really does it all: The colorful enamel resists chipping, while the durable tempered glass lid makes it easy to monitor food while it cooks. Use it on the table, in the stove, or in the oven, and it'll work perfectly either way.

The fry pan is one of the most frequently used items in any kitchen, so it's well worth it to invest in a high-quality one that will last long, clean easily, and heat your food evenly. Without a doubt, this cast iron option is bound to check all of these boxes, and it even features a tab-style "helper handle" to make for easier lifting. 

This thirteen-piece set is built to impress, but it also gets the job done. With this single purchase, you'll have everything you need to make a variety of soups, stews, roasts, gratins, and sides—all while dazzling your guests with the collection's elevated colorway.

Not only is this mini cocotte adorable, but it's also ideal for single-serving omelettes, muffins, pies, and more. And at a mere $22, there's no reason not to indulge.

This strong, durable roasting pan and rack are perfect for making your holiday turkey and more. It's designed for easy cleaning and for preventing your roast from dripping all over your pristine oven.

This bestselling, classic cast iron Dutch oven is over $100 at Williams Sonoma for a limited time only. It even comes in 12 different shades, so you can customize it to match your kitchen.

Unbelievably, this versatile, stain-resistant set is both dishwasher-safe and oven-safe up to 500 degrees, making it the only stainless steel cooking set you'll ever need. 

Customers write that this versatile dish is perfect for both baking and cooking, that it's easy to clean, and that it's lovely to look at, too. Who could ask for more?

If you love Le Creuset's signature pots and Dutch ovens but also like grilling veggies, meats, and more, this is the set for you. Plus, it comes in this gorgeous orange colorway, which is perfect for both summer and autumn dining. 

Like its fellow Le Creuset pieces, this handy saucepan promises to heat sauces, soups, rice and more with even heat. It also resists cracking, dulling, and staining.

For those mornings when you're serving up a spread of pancakes, bacon, and eggs, not just any frying pan will do. Instead, turn to this skinny griddle made from enameled cast iron, the best for searing, frying, and toasting. You don't even need to pre-season or soak it after cooking thanks to its cast-iron finish.

A sure way to impress your dinner guests is with these Le Creuset dinner plates. Not only is the cherry red shade gorgeous, but these are of exceptionally high quality. They're durable, made of heavy stoneware, and has a scratch-resistant, non-stick finish. With heat retention materials, they even keep your food hot while you're serving.

Your pasta nights and winter soups will never be the same after using this stockpot. Made from vibrant enamel on lightweight carbon steel, this stockpot rapidly brings water to a boil to cut down on cooking and prep time. It's made all the better with an easy-to-clean surface and stain-resistant surface.

Like I said, we have a lot of dog toys. Few have lasted as long, or are so beloved, as Captain's Fluff & Tuff toys—this blue dinosaur (pictured) and its siblings the purple unicorn and honey bear are his constant companions. I'm not kidding: He brings them into bed with us every freaking night, and we have to put them through the washer and dryer every few months. In spite of this, they've held up for three years now, plus they're filled with high-quality padding that are held to the same non-toxic standards as children's toys.

If you're part of my dog-owning generation—that's to say, older millennials who are hell-bent on spending all their disposable income on high-quality dog accessories—you'll likely already be familiar with Wild One, known for its gorgeous pastel harnesses. But their Bolt Bite, billed as "the ultimate chew toy for dogs," deserves some of the spotlight, too: You can put little treats into each end, or use it as part of a game of fetch, and the middle has a reinforced rubber center so your dog will struggle to tear it apart. (Worth noting, though, that it can be torn apart—it'll just take longer than a typical toy.) Bonus: It's BPA-free and dishwasher-friendly. If your dog chews its way through anything and everything, I recommend the BarkBox Super Chewer collection.

Both Captain and his BFF, a rescue cattle dog named Stanley, are obsessed with this brontosaurus. The brontosaurus is taller than Captain, but no matter—he insists on carrying it by the neck everywhere, and will hardly leap up on the sofa without it. Soft, cute, and somehow able to withstand a lot of tug-of-war, it's a fixture in our apartment.

There's no better long-term gift for the dog in your life than a three-month, six-month, or 12-month subscription to BarkBox, a themed and customizable box of treats and toys for your pup. The best way to describe BarkBox is as a monthly box of joy (for proof, here's the full video of Captain on BarkBox day).

Custom pet portraits can run expensive—I've learned this, well, the expensive way—but West & Willow sells a whole line of chic merchandise complete with custom-drawn portraits of your pet, and it's all relatively affordable (between $50-$100). This iPhone case is my favorite (my second-favorite is the bowl, if you wondered), and you can get a version for a variety of iPhone and Samsung models.

London-based illustrator Kitty uses watercolors and pencil to create a custom portrait of your dog, taking care to highlight the features you love most. Think those old-fashioned watercolor portraits of aristocratic families that take days to complete—but for your dog. The result, which you can get pre-framed, is the kind of portrait you'll want to hang it in your home for years (okay, decades) to come.

This adorable book is basically Where's Waldo, but with your specific dog—you can pick from breeds and colors to find a pup that looks like yours—instead of Waldo. Perfect for kids and grown-ups alike, you can spend hours trying to find your dog in the middle of the beautifully illustrated landscapes. I have, in fact, spent many hours on the subway investigating each and every page and getting concerned looks from my fellow commuters.

Scripted Fragrance makes a candle for just about every major breed of dog, including "service dog" (which is so cute, I nearly cried). And while some candles can be dangerous for your dog, these ones are made of dog-safe soy wax. Plus, they're vegan, cruelty-free, dye-free, additive-free, preservative-free, petroleum-free, and phthalate-free.

Upload a photo of your pup, add some information about what makes him or her special, and bingo—you'll get a metal Pokémon card of your dog to keep forever. The best part is that the artists of PokéPup hand-draw a Pokémon-esque portrait of your dog, so yours is truly one of a kind. You'll also receive a digital copy of their artwork.

Female-founded small business Sweater Hound takes at least a month to create your new favorite custom dog sweater, but trust me—it's worth it. Just send them a photo of your dog, and you're done. They'll send over the sketch of your dog for you to approve, have you sign off on the colors, and keep you in the loop about delivery dates. The result is one of my favorite gifts I've ever given.

One hundred percent of profits from this delicious blend, which boasts notes of dark chocolate and toasted pecan and comes in whole bean or ground, goes to a rescue organization. For the month of November 2023, for example, all profits from this blend will go to The Sato Project, which rescues and rehomes abandoned and homeless dogs in Puerto Rico.

Yes, these organic cotton socks are super-comfy and embroidered with tiny paws (!), but the best part is that every purchase includes a donation to Best Friend Animal Society, one of the leading nonprofits that works to stop shelter animals being euthanized.

For the dog mom who has it all, I present: This hand-made seed bead necklace, which is about the size of a dime and almost painfully adorable. A bonus: the brand, Jewels For Hope, a mother-daughter small business, donates 10 percent of profits from all of its products to charity.

We've gone through a lot of dog beds in the Hollander household. Two have proven winners: This La-Z-Boy bed, and the corner bed, below. The La-Z-Boy, pictured, folds in and out depending on how much space you have, and is known in our household as Captain's "long bed." A true story: I once came back early from vacation while the dog sitter was sleeping and didn't want to wake her, so I curled up in this bed and took a nap. And you know what? It was a good nap.

This cuddly piece of decor has been a hit from the day we brought it home. More of a large pillow than a traditional dog bed (unless you have a small dog), the neutral color and inviting shape makes it a cozy addition to any room. Filled with hypo-allergenic stuffing and covered in a washable cotton fabric, it's a perfect, low-key addition to a bedroom, a living room (pictured), or a space like a basement.

I held out on getting a Furbo for a long time—it's tricky to justify a $210 camera when you can find one on Amazon for $30—but I finally invested on Prime Day a couple of years ago, and oh, man, what a fantastic decision that was. You can find me panicking over my dog's well-being about 98 percent of the time, and this reassures me enormously—the camera is HD enough that you can zoom in on your dog's breathing (don't judge me), and you can toss your good boy or girl treats whenever you need a little pick-me-up.

This is such a cute way to create treats for your dog based on what they like and don't (and if you have a picky dog, like me, you'll know that treats in general can be very hit and miss). Dog-safe batter is easy to make—just mix ingredients like peanut butter and pumpkin and eggs and whole wheat flour—and then throw in everything your dog's heart desires: bacon bits, cheese, chicken, the list goes on!

The height of luxury, in my opinion, is a good bathrobe, and this is the best bathrobe for your dog money can buy. Yes, it seems a little silly, but if you live somewhere cold—or if your dog just hates being wet—this Harry Barker terrycloth robe is going to prove invaluable post-bath. Plus, you can get it personalized with your dog's initials!

I first spotted the Shed Defender on Shark Tank, but I don't know whether its founders got a deal or not because I was too busy buying one on my phone. Originally designed to stop your dog from shedding in the car, on the couch, and, well, everywhere else, the Shed Defender people quickly learned that dogs also love the feel of it. The snug fit is thought to reduce your dog's anxiety—like the ThunderShirt, but cuter. My old dog Skipper wore it to sleep, like adorable doggie pajamas. (He also wore it in Ubers so he didn't shed on the seats, pictured.) The onesie comes in nine colors and an impressive range of sizes. Bonus: My lint roller and vacuum cleaner are well-rested.

Look, it'll be an upward battle to convince you that this dog T-shirt is a functional and not just stylish purchase, but hear me out. You know those chilly autumnal days when it's too warm for a sweater, but too cold for your dog's coat to do the job alone? Enter: BedHead's selection of dog T-shirts. In terms of soft, stretchy fabric that keeps your dog warm but doesn't restrict them from moving around, these PJs are the best. (I have three.) Hot tip: Size up, because these T-shirts are at best when they're very slightly oversized. Here's Captain wearing one of his.

If you adopted your pup, this is the perfect leash for you. Each leash comes with an adorable "Found" tag to celebrate adoption, and each tag is individually numbered and stamped. Mine has lasted five years and counting, and has hardly frayed in that time. Plus, Found My Animal actively supports and promotes animal adoption. Here's Captain wearing his.

I first saw this "kangaroo pouch sweater" on TikTok, and when I say I had to have it—well, I wasn't going to rest until Captain was in it, put it that way. If you have a smaller, springier dog than I (Captain is seven), you can train yours to actually leap into it when they feel like curling up against you. As for Captain, who is solidly built and whose jumping days are behind him, he can just crawl right on in and be carried around like the baby he is (to me). Why someone didn't think of this sooner, I'll never know.

When I adopted my first dog, Skipper, I needed a harness that did the work—Skipper was a gorgeous hound puppy that had been rescued from a forest in Kentucky and had had absolutely zero training. I must have tried four or five before someone told me about 2 Hounds' Freedom Harness, which remains the harness I use (and tell all my friends about) to this day. Its velvet, adjustable straps are easy on dogs' sensitive skin, even when they pull, and the hoops on the front and the back mean that you can change things up if you need extra control. Captain wore his for four years before it broke, and I immediately re-bought the same one. (This photo is Skipper wearing his.)

Depending on the kind of walk we're about to embark on, I switch it up between my Found My Animal leash and my Fable hands-free leash, pictured while around my waist, because the latter is great for multitasking. Don't be fooled by this complicated-looking leash—it couldn't be easier to wear, and while I like to string it over one shoulder and around my waist while balancing coffee in one hand and texting with the other, you can also wear it as a belt or a wrist strap. I use it for jogging with Captain and slow, relaxed walks so that he can use it to dart around, sniffing things while I'm standing in place or talking on the phone.

Friends, as mentioned, I am not an expert on very much. But I do have a dog who is a) picky as hell and b) medically required to eat often (do not get me started on my vet bills). These Newman's Own Snack Sticks in Chicken—and I have to point out here that Captain will not eat the other flavors—are the only dog treats that he'll reliably eat. To this end, I now don't leave the house without a few of these treats stuffed in my pockets, and now other dogs run up to me and start nosing my hand, without fail, because they know I have The Good Treats. In summary: These snack sticks have made me famous among local dogs. For better and for worse.

I'd already used a $60 dog DNA kit to discover that Captain was a beagle-slash-super mutt, but Embark goes a step further when it comes to analyzing your dog's health markers. Because Captain is a rescue who was dumped by his old owners, I didn't have any information on his genetics, but my Embark test revealed that Captain has a gene that weakens the discs in his back. Not only that, but I received a dog family tree from Embark that revealed that—cue my hyperventilating—Captain has a close relative who is paralyzed from the neck down from that same condition. I spoke to that dog's (wonderful) owner, went to the vet, and did my research, and now I'm extremely careful about Captain's back in all situations. If you know the genetic origins of your dog, you may not need that kind of health information—but the family tree is still extremely fun.

When it comes to dog treat advent calendars, Wufers is, in my opinion, the best. The box is gorgeous—it'll go perfectly with your holiday decorations—and the treats are all hand-baked dog cookies, with an extra-large paw-shaped cookie for Christmas Eve. If you'd prefer for your dog to have less treats during the most wonderful time of year for leftovers, these cookies are made to last (they'll stay good for 15 months after you open the little door).

Know someone who needs some quality time with their pup? (Maybe that person is you?) Give the gift of relaxation in a remote, dog-friendly location with Getaway, a company that sends you to cozy cabins a couple of hours from your hometown that are nestled in nature (with your dog, of course) for a couple of ultra-relaxing days. Your pup will love the rural surroundings, and you'll finally be able to unplug.

If you're a dog person looking for a new art piece, Stellar Villa by Laura is the brand for you. Laura, the artist who founded the small business with her husband, Patrick, offers both custom prints with your dog and original prints she's already drawn—like this one, which is how I feel 95 percent of the time I'm out with my dog.

I love nothing more than a candle with five wicks. It's no longer just a candle—it's an experience, an accessory, and a mood-maker. No, I'm not being dramatic; I'm simply describing the power of this Courtney Cox-designed candle. "It’s unique, warm, and also grounded with a little attitude—it’s spicy,” the Friends actress exclusively told me last month.

Notes: Cedarwood smoke, sweet cardamom, cinnamon, and white leather

Size: 38 ounces

Burn Time: 80 hours

Wax Type: Soy wax blend

What We Love: Stunning accessory that lasts a long time; giftable

What We Don't: Not an amazing throw when unlit

Review for MC: "I was lucky enough to snag one of these limited-edition candles off the production line (I had to smell the deliciousness before talking to Cox). It manages to be warm and light simultaneously, so it's ideal for all seasons. That being said, the handmade ceramic dish is so pretty, I'm hesitant to light it!" — Samantha Holender, Beauty Editor

Fact: There is nothing more regal than a Trudon holiday candle. Inspired by the King at the Château de Versailles, every aspect of this candle—down to the 24-carat gold leaf interior—is fit to gift to your fanciest friend. The second I took this candle out of it's elaborate container, I'm hit with a sweet, spicy mix of java, cinnamon, and amber; exactly what I want my home to smell like on a snowy day.

Notes: Russian coriander, cardamom, incense, Brazilian orange, java nutmeg, clove leaf, cinnamon, cedar, patchouli, vetiver, amber 

Size: 9.5 ounces

Burn Time: 55 to 65 hours

Wax Type: Paraffin wax

What We Love: Perfect holiday gift; great throw

What We Don't: The packaging might clash with someone's home

Review for MC: "Honesty hour: I'm the world's worst gift giver. My saving grace for holiday season is a hefty collection of candles. I bring one to every holiday party or home I enter. Trudon's limited-edition candles are a consistent hit. This particular option is a warm and cozy mix or coriander and cardamom that serves as the perfect scent-scape for a tree decorating day." — Samantha Holender, Beauty Editor

The Baccarat Rouge fan club is loyal. I know, because I'm a long-time member. While the fragrance is pretty pricey, the candle offers the same warm and addictive smell at a third of the price. I live in a studio apartment, so lighting this fills up the whole room—it's my go-to before I have company.

Notes: Jasmine grandiflorum, saffron, bitter almond, cedar wood, musky woody accord, ambergris accord

Size: 9.8 ounces

Burn Time: 55 hours

Wax Type: French mineral and vegetable wax

What We Love: The scent really envelops an entire room; allows you to capitalize on a signature scent

What We Don't: Some reviewers feel like the scent isn't powerful enough

Review for MC: "I will never, ever get jaded by the smell of Baccarat Rouge. I don't wear the eau de parfum every day, but when I do, I commit. I layer on the body lotion, use the hair perfume, drip on some scented body oil, and light this candle for a Baccarat Rouge takeover. The candle is my favorite little treat on nights when I'm staying at home to curl up with a book." — Samantha Holender, Beauty Editor

The Marie Claire team came together to test Loewe's three new candles last week, and Mimosa was the unanimous favorite. Beauty Director Hannah Baxter described it as the perfect addition to a girl's night, while I couldn't get over how fresh and delightful scent was. Who knew an evergreen tree and melon were the perfect combo?

Notes: Evergreen tree, melon, yellow flowers

Size: 5.8 ounces

Burn Time: 55 hours

Wax Type: Natural wax

What We Love: Light and refreshing scent; truly smells like a mimosa; reusable jar

What We Don't: This vessel may clash with some home decor

Review for MC: "Don’t be fooled by the name: Loewe’s new Mimosa candle has no relation to the boozy brunch beverage. The inspiration is actually the Mimosa Tree—I’ve admittedly never seen nor smelled one—known for its bright yellow flowers and their strong and sweet aroma. By that definition, they hit the mark. It smells a bit like a day at the beach; a hint of sunscreen, a hint of salt, a hint of the sugary wave spray you spritz on after a dip in the ocean. I was a bit apprehensive about lighting it in my home because of the intensity of its sweetness, but it mellows out once it’s lit. It’s the kind of candle I’d tuck away until the first warm day of the year, then light to celebrate spring's start. You don’t have to keep it lit for long before the smell fills up a room, and I’d argue it smells even better when combined with a natural breeze through a cracked window.." — Lucia Tonelli, Associate Social Media Director

"There is no worse feeling than post-vacation blues, but thanks to Lindsay Silberman, it's possible to bring a little bit of your travels home with you with her Hotel Lobby collection," says MC's Entertainment Director Neha Prakash. "Taking inspiration from the scents of the poshest resorts worldwide, the candles will infuse your own space with the designer smells of Miami, Paris, and beyond. Now you can pretend to be sipping martinis in a dimly-lit Parisian bar—no pricey plane ticket needed."

Notes: Black musk, spicy pepper, waxed wood, rum, smoke

Size: 9.75 ounces

Burn Time: 65 hours

Wax Type: Soy wax

What We Love: Sensual scent; warm and cozy; fills a large space

What We Don't: Some feel like smells like citronella

Customer Review: "Sophisticated and luxurious scenting that travels through my home. Burn slowly and evenly (I've changed my own life with a candle warmer). Beautiful packaging, such a great gift. Purchased Linen & Paris Nuit and am obsessed with both." — Neiman Marcus

Fashion E-Commerce Editor Julia Marzovilla calls this Maison Margiela scent the epitome of coziness. "It has a smoky undertone but also includes notes like vanilla and pink pepper to round it out. Keeping it lit for even a little while will make my entire space feel like I'm sitting next to a woodsy fire just as the weather begins to change. My family knows to give me this candle as a gift year after year.”

Notes: Pink pepper, orange flower petals, clove oil, chestnut accord, guaiac wood oil, cade oil, vanilla accord, Peru balsam, cashmeran

Size: 5.82 ounces

Burn Time: 40 hours

Wax Type: Mineral wax

What We Love: Has a sweet smokiness that's perfect for a night in; can burn for four hours at a time with an even wax melt

What We Don't: While a positive for some, a handful of reviewers feel the fragrance is actually too strong

Customer Review: "We recently replaced our wood-burning fireplace with a gas one and I got this candle to have a fireplace smell. Though it does not smell like our wood-burning fireplace did, I nevertheless like the smell, which is a wintery, spicy smell. This is my fourth candle and as long as they keep making them I will buy more!" — Nordstrom

If you're just starting your luxury candle journey, Tonelli has the perfect pick: Jo Malone's Blackberry and Bay candle, her very first luxury scent. "The fact that I remember this detail with such clarity should be enough of a testament to its quality," she says. "It's my most frequently-complimented candle (a universally beloved scent!), it's the candle I've re-purchased more than any other (which says a lot, because it burns slow!), and it's the only scent that manages to fill a big, open space (but doesn't overwhelm a small room)." Sold.

Notes: Blackberry, bay leaves, cedarwood

Size: 7 ounces

Burn Time: 45 hours

Wax Type: Blend of natural waxes

What We Love: Sweet and nostalgic; box comes wrapped in a bow that's perfect for a quick gift; scent lasts for a while after the candle has been blown out

What We Don't: Faintly scented while burning

Customer Review: "This candle and scent smells so good, your entire house will smell amazing. It is not too strong but certainly makes its scent known. Definitely recommend." — Nordstrom

Every candle hoarder has heard of Diptyque. But have you actually made the investment into one of the bigger sizes with five wicks, handmade in the South of France?

Notes: Fig tree, fresh leaves, fruity sap

Size: 51.3 ounces

Wax Type: Parrafin and vegetable waxes

What We Love: Multiple size options; green vessel is great home decor; celebrity fans

What We Don't: Scent fades after two hours of burn

Customer Review: "It’s a really nice creamy fig scent that has pretty good projection when lit. The glass container looks so nice to reuse as well. Definitely a splurge but great for a gift or a special occasion. Bought the small size but will be looking to buy the bigger size." — Bloomingdales

I love a fancy NYC cocktail bar—but I love staying home and having my apartment smell like one, so much more. Harlem Candle Co. makes a gorgeous candle that releases a blend of vanilla, dark chocolate, palo santo, bourbon, and tobacco—it smells like a sexy drink. Plus, the jar doubles as its own cocktail glass after it's fully used. 

Notes: Vanilla, dark chocolate, palo santo, bourbon, tobacco, licorice, plum blossom

Size: 8 ounces

Burn Time: 80 hours

Wax Type: Soy blend waxes

What We Love: Black-owned business; double wick; incredibly long burn time

Customer Review: "This is the most incredible scent you have ever smelled. It evokes wonderful memories." — Bloomingdales

With 100 (!!) hours of burn time, Voluspa's paraben-free and sulfate-free candle smells like summer flowers in a glass. It's a clean scent that comprises orchid, lily, and moss, an intoxicating blend that has quickly become a part of my aromatherapy routine. The gorgeous design of the jar and lid is also noteworthy—it's covered in a floral latticework inspired by Japanese art.

Notes: Mokara orchid, white lily, spring moss

Size: 18 ounces

Burn Time: 100 hours

Wax Type: Coconut wax blend

What We Love: Pesticide-free manufacturing; incredibly long burn time; a pleasant smell that guests will appreciate

What We Don't: Not necessarily what I would pick for the fall/winter season

Customer Review: "Bamboo, musk, and cypress really balance so well to create such a dramatic and elegant scent. The onyx vessel adds the perfect scent to any environment and this is a perfect gift for men and women alike." — Nordstrom

With white jungle flora, patchouli, sandalwood, and vetiver, Costa Brazil's vela jungle candle screams, "Let's take a trip to the rainforest." It's made of natural plant-based waxes and is sustainably sourced, so you can feel good about enhancing your mood.

For a luxury candle that's not so in-your-face, might we suggest Acqua di Parma's Luce Di Colonia? Its yellow glass jar is like a ray of sunshine for your bookcase, shelf, or bedside table. Scent-wise, this candle is a summer fragrance with citrus top notes and woody base notes. Light it, and your day will be brighter in more ways than one.

Size: 7 ounces

Burn Time: 50 hours

Wax Type: Refined parrafin wax

What We Love: Refreshing to light in a kitchen; perfect to light after cooking a heavily scented dinner
