Books/Book-Related
What to Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking and/or gift sub to the newsletter.
All the books our guests recommended this year
Home & Kitchen
Ambrosia Produce Bag: A good choice if you’re trying to get rid of plastics in your fridge
Lightweight Cast-iron pans: So much easier to maintain than the lodge
MUJI Foam Soap Dish: Go big with this $2.90 purchase that combines form and function
Dishtowels!! As previously mentioned in a newsletter!
Williams-Sonoma Dish Towels ($14.95-$26.95 for a set of four): Listeners love all varieties of the Williams-Sonoma dish towels, and price-wise they’re right in the middle of our picks.
Geometry Dish Towels ($18-$22): They’re pricey, but people LOVE these dish towels (they got suggested by multiple people) and they come in a wide variety of fun prints.
Foof52 Five Two Essential Towels ($35-$39 for two to four): Food52’s dish towels come in two varieties and are an upgrade from a basic dish towel.
Bamboo Little Rags ($9.99 for 10): A budget option that you won’t feel bad about getting too dirty.
Target Waffle Kitchen Towel ($8 for three): Probably the best value of the dish towels that were recommended to us, and come in four color options.
Wander Broth: Bone broth that’s also easy to take on the go
Kids and Pets
Superruff :Quiet (and super tough) dog toys
My son and all his kindergarten friends are obsessed with remote control spiders
Kitty Izakaya is a huge hit both for the cat as a playspace and scratchpad, and for all the human passersby who see it in the window
Games/Puzzles
Use code Forever35 at checkout!
If you have money to burn: a Gucci dice set ($430)
A nice mah jongg set that is not one of the ridiculous preppy/boujee ones
Crafts
I’m obsessed with these miniature DIY room kits
Also, just a shoutout to the Mondo Llama craft kits from Target – they’re mostly great and the price point is excellent
Jewelry
Jack and G chime earring I love these chime earrings, so delicate and solid gold at an affordable price point
James Avery Avocado Toast charm - James Avery is a brand from Elise’s Texas youth, and this adorable charm can go on their classic charm bracelet or just on a necklace
Obsessed with these Susan Alexandra bag charms
Sports
If I had money to burn I would get this Proton High Performance Ball Machine (starts at $1695)
Fantasy bags
MUJI Hard Shell suitcases: These are so hardy and compact, and much better made (IMHO) and at a lower price point than the Away rollerbags, which I also own but prefer the MUJI
Travel
Hoto Mini Screwdriver set: A handy tool to have to make small fixes, especially while you’re on the road
Baseus Retractable cables: Elise’s fave retractable cables to travel with
Cuyana Travel Jewelry case: a compact jewelry case so your earrings aren’t jostling around in your Dopp kit
Makeup brush travel case: (Or at least Elise uses it that way) Cute way to carry makeup brushes and it can stand up in the case on a sink, too
