  • 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.

  • 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)

  • An ADV tennis backpack

  • Wilson US Open Tennis Balls Case

  • Franklin rebounder 

  • Larq self cleaning waterbottle 

  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
