    Our favorite product releases this week: Solo Stove, Fellow, Parade and more | CNN Underscored

    There are a ton of great products that drop every week — and we’re here, as always, to keep you up to date on the best of them. Each week, we’ll be rounding up a short list of our favorite product drops from the last seven days for you to shop as you sip your morning coffee or take a quick break from work (trust, it’s the only list you need for staying up to date on these things).

    This week brings the launch of Parade swimwear, a new artful collection of Stasher bags and Solo Stove’s pellet adapter for clean-burning bonfires.

    Shop our favorite new releases below, but be fast — they’re prone to selling out.

    The intimates brand hits the pool

    Parade’s bralettes and underwear are so comfortable, it seems that customers were wearing the items by the pool. Parade, recognizing an opportunity, has now taken customer-favorite silhouettes and shapes and — with some additional design creativity coming into play — created a swimwear collection with everything from thong bikini bottoms to triangle bikini tops and super-breezy mesh coverups.

    fellow corvo pro cnnu.jpg

    If you use a small appliance enough to keep it on the counter, it needs to do two things: do its job very well and look good doing it. If you’re a tea- or coffee-person, Fellow’s redesigned kettles, the Corvo Pro and Corvo Pro Studio Edition fit the bill. Originally used for the French press, the new kettles have scheduling, Wi-Fi updates and customizable settings. Plus, the original Corvo kettle is now available in two new cool colors beyond black: matte white and stone blue.

    solo stove pellet adapter cnnu.jpg

    Solo Stove’s smokeless fire pits are perfect for camping or the patio (depending on which of the several sizes you choose), but if you don’t have any woodland nearby to source fallen twigs from for fuel, there’s the company’s new pellet adapter. The pellets are a modern fuel source for your Solo Stove: They burn longer than wood, have no popping and burn clean — and the adapter is easy to fit to your Solo Stove. It’s $40 for the Ranger-compatible model; the one for the Bonfire is $50 and it’s $60 for the one fitting the Yukon.

    Ruggable’s machine-washable rugs have just added a new collection to the lineup with the launch of its Natural Abstract Collection. The new collection isn’t just your usual jute rugs, though: It features abstract, geometric and modern botanical prints in soft shades of taupes, greens, blues and rusts. Not only is a color to match any of your interior spaces, but the new line is available in Ruggable’s full range of classic (chenille) sizes, outdoor sizes, premium medium pile sizes, re-jute sizes and doormats.

    neighbor terra collection cnnu.jpg

    The one thing about outdoor seating is that it’s almost never comfortable, which is a shame given how expensive it is. Sure, you don’t mind plopping down for a drink and a chat, but it’s not exactly the kind of furniture you’re going to want to curl up in for an afternoon with a book. Neighbor’s new Terra Collection, starting at $350, aims to change all that, with super-soft Sunbrella cushions to sink into but the durability in construction you need if you’re going to leave furniture exposed to the elements. The nine-piece, monochromatic collection comes in shades like a classic eggshell, modern charcoal or grass green.

    brooklinen laundry cnnu.jpg

    Brooklinen just dropped a collection of laundry and fabric care products to complement its range of bath and bedding textiles — a logical step if there ever was one. The offerings start at $9 and include Essential Detergent, Oxygen Bleach Alternative, Fabric Softener, Fabric Refresher Spray, Stain Remover and Wool Dryer Balls.

    stasher artivism cnnu.jpg

    Staher’s new Earth Month Artivism Collection takes its popular, plastic-bag-replacing bags and groups them into vibrant collections that can handle any food storage task. Made in partnership with PangeaSeed Foundation, the new bags come in colorful, wavy colorways complemented in the bundles by Stasher bags in similar tones. Choose from Rainbow Splash, Purple Wave and Blue Current — they’re all microwave-, freezer- and dishwasher-safe — and while the initial outlay might not be cheap, just one Stasher bag can replace 260 plastic ones (meaning you’ll spend less over time). Grab a six-pack for $99, a three-pack of sandwich bags in each of the new colorways for $37 or shop them individually over on Stasher.

    otherland garden collection cnnu.jpg

    Spring is starting to bloom, and to help you get in the mood is Otherland’s new Garden Party candle collection, featuring scents like Verdant Verve, Out of the Blue, Clean Blossom, Canary, Ultraviolet and Georgette for $36 each. Each of the floral-scented candles is made from coconut and soy wax with a cotton wick — and they’re all vegan too. Best of all? The 50-hour burn time ensures your home or room will smell like fresh spring flowers for a long, long time.

    canopy new colors cnnu.jpg

    Canopy’s viral, $90 waterless diffuser (yes, you read that right) now comes in three different neutral shades to seamlessly blend into any corner of your home. Now available (like its sister humidifiers) in white, cream and moonstruck, the diffusers have two ways to emit fragrance (a deeper well or a “fragrance puck” up top for aromas you want to swap out. Plus, no water means no mold, meaning you have one less worry when you’re chilling out with your aromatherapy.

    cloud paper bundle cnnu.jpg

    If you’re blocking out time for the annual spring cleaning, eco-friendly, plastic-free brand (and editor-favorite) Cloud Paper has bundled its essentials for the job into a handy value offer. For $31, you’ll get two plant-based coconut sponges that are 100% biodegradable and compostable (and exclusive to the bundle), a three-pack of reusable swish clothes and four rolls of paper towels.

    Three steps for clear scalps and hydrated curls

    act+acre curl collection cnnu.jpg

    Editor-loved brand Act+Acre’s “skincare for your scalp” line just dropped a Soft Curl Collection that keeps curls hydrated and healthy to reduce breakage, damage to curl patterns, dryness and frizz. The “system” starts with a shampoo that cleanses without stripping, followed by a curl spray and lotion for weightless definition, thanks to some help from vegan protein for strength and seed extracts (chia, linseed, meadowfoam) for hydration and frizz control. Each formula is good for daily use (including the shampoo).

    made in cleaver cnnu.jpg

    This ready-for-business knife from by-chefs-for-chefs brand Made In takes the traditional cleaver form (blocky, slightly scary blade) and elevates it with the addition of a sturdy olive wood handle. Inspired by traditional butcher shops, the new $199 knife can be used for any and all things meat or thick-skinned veg. It’s made with an eye toward being a legacy piece, too, with a full-tang blade that melts into the handle for exceptional balance and a handle finished by a fifth-generation craftsperson in Thiers, France.

    Having a dedicated body hair trimmer on hand makes it super-easy to maintain your desired level of hair growth, from barely touched to all the way gone. Luckily, Meridian just dropped a redesign of its first model, the Trimmer Plus, which features a new ergonomic design that’s waterproof too, an LED guidelight for smaller areas and a trimming guard with four settings. There’s also the new Trimmer Premium Edition, which has 90 minutes of trimming time per charge and added features like a universal USB-C charging cable and travel lock function. Both styles come in vibrant shades, too — it’s not just your average utilitarian black or pandering pink.

  • Stanley dropped a limited edition collection of the Quencher H2.0 Flowstate at Target | CNN Underscored

    Stanley dropped a limited edition collection of the Quencher H2.0 Flowstate at Target | CNN Underscored

    It’s a big day for water drinkers, because Stanley – the maker of the cult-favorite 40-ounce Quencher H2.0 Flowstate Tumbler – just announced that it’s dropping a collection of never-before-seen colors for the viral cup exclusively at Target starting at 3 a.m. EST on March 12.

    The often sold-out, viral tumbler is available at Target in exclusive new colorways, including tie-dyed and color-blocked patterns. Its 40-ounce capacity, double-wall insulation, ergonomic handle and narrow base are just a few of the cup’s most lauded features.

    Inspired by seasonal colors, this collection has eight brand new hues ranging from a peachy tie-dye to a pastel purple, all of which are picture perfect for spring.

    If you’re not familiar with the Stanley cups, let us get you up to speed. First off, the cups’ massive format will have you more hydrated than you’ve ever been. Secondly, despite its large size, the Quencher fits in a car cup holder, which is a big reason why influencers from coast to coast have become obsessed – to the point that the Quencher has amassed a waitlist of more than 150,000 and even become viral on TikTok.

    And then there’s the fact that its double-wall insulation can keep drinks icy cold for 48 hours, the bottle is made from 90% recycled material and the three-position lid has a splash-proof straw gripper. Oh, and did we mention that the comfy handle is oversized and can be gripped from the outside or inside? Yep, it’s true.

    All of these details are exactly why the Quencher is known to sell out in mere hours, which is also why you also need to head over to Target.com, like, right now, before the exclusive colors are gone for good.

  • Skims’ Swim is back with new colors, coverups and accessories | CNN Underscored

    Skims’ Swim is back with new colors, coverups and accessories | CNN Underscored

    While Kim Kardashian’s alien-centric ads for Skims Swim generated lots of headlines — some hilariously blaming the mogul for the recent influx of UFO sightings across the country — the objective of the Harmony Korine-shot campaign was to announce the brand’s latest swimwear restock and drop. “I know you guys have been waiting… @SKIMS Swim is finally coming back! Get ready for our biggest launch ever with all-new out of this world styles and colors you have to see to believe, plus the return of sold-out favorites on February 21,” she originally captioned an Instagram post.

    Yes, all Skims launches are surrounded by a fan frenzy, but Swim seems to hit differently — last year’s drop brought in more than 500,000 visits to skims.com on launch day and more than 1 million views on Skims’ Swim page in the month of March, and the collection received more than 1,200 5-star reviews, plus 500,000 all-time waitlist sign-ups.

    Point being: Skims Swim is a favorite, and as of Feb. 21 at 12 p.m. ET, there’s a whole lot more of it to shop. The latest restock includes 25 styles (11 tops, eight bottoms, five one-pieces) in seven colorways, including neon green, turquoise, ochre, almond, gunmetal, cocoa and onyx, and in sizes ranging from XXS to 4X. Fear not: The cult-favorite Dipped Tie Bottoms and Plunge Bikini Top are back, alongside new designs like the Swim Long-Sleeve Bikini Top and the Skims Strapless Monokini.

    Beyond the swimwear, Skims is debuting its cover-ups collection of seven stretchy and/or mesh styles — think miniskirts, sarongs, ruched minidresses and more — all of which come in the same color palette as the suits, allowing for lots of mixing and matching. The brand is also releasing hair accessories for the first time, including a claw clip with a bedazzled Skims logo, meaning everyone can be wearing the brand from head to toe (yes, Skims sandals are also available!).

    How much is this latest collection going to set you back? Like most Skims pieces, the assortment is (relatively) reasonably priced, running from $24 to $88 per item.

  • Fellow just dropped a new coffee grinder for next-level at-home brews | CNN Underscored

    Fellow just dropped a new coffee grinder for next-level at-home brews | CNN Underscored

    Fellow’s line of aspirational coffee wizardry tools just got an addition to its line with the sleek new Opus Conical Burr Grinder, which just dropped today.

    The maker of one of the best electric kettles we’ve tested is coming for your coffee beans with a completely revamped grinder.  Price-wise, this grinder is on the splurge end of the spectrum, but it’s still less expensive than our current favorite Baratza grinder.

    It’s a treat-yourself moment for Serious Coffee People, with more than 41 precision settings for your preferred grounds consistency — more than any other machine we tested. (Safe to say, we’ve personally been looking forward to this one for a while now.) If you like to dial in your grounds precisely for your drink, or like to switch it up — Cold brew? French press? Espresso? — depending on the time of day or your mood, this is the machine to get a little nerdy with.

    The design also makes it easy to measure out beans early in the morning, thanks to a volumetric dosing lid. And it boasts a high-powered motor and sets of smooth blades to get up to 110 grams of your grind ultra-smooth (unless, of course, you want it coarse).

    It also comes with the inclusion of a handy guide for those of us who need help getting started — and can we just add it’s really pretty for the countertop? Shop it now over at Fellow for $195.

    This week brings the launch of Allbirds’ new transitional canvas sneaker, Material’s Aperitivo Set and Caraway’s glam copper-handled, jewel-toned cookware sets.

    The classic-looking Canvas Pacer Mids are lightweight and cover the ankles, making them a great shoe for between seasons. The modern colorways in white, black and a dusky teal are easy to swap into

    A richly crafted artist line that adds beauty and storytelling to your spaces

    lulu and georgia x Hadiya Williams cnnu

    Homewares and furniture company Lulu and Georgia launched a new collection (starting at $54) with artist Hadiya Williams this week. The artist uses media like clay, jute, linen and other natural materials to create wall art, pillows and tabletop textiles featuring graphic patterns and lines — each piece deeply visually linked to the culture of the African diaspora.

    caraway copper cnnu

    Why not add a little drama to your kitchen cookware? Caraway is here with cookware that looks as decadent as the food coming from it, courtesy of the Copper Collection. New shades of Emerald, Midnight, and Stone are joined with a vibrant copper on the handles for a polished look for sophisticated cooks. Each color in the collection is sold as part of the now-$595 Cookware Set, which comes with the Fry Pan, Sauté Pan, Sauce Pan and Dutch Oven — plus three lids and an organizer to keep it all together. .

    Nécessaire The Deodorant Gel in Sandalwood

    Fans of Nécessaire’s The Deodorant Gel now have a new scent to choose from, courtesy of recently launched Sandalwood. The natural deodorant also has a skincare side to it, with 5% AHA to minimize bumps, niacinamide to fade hyperpigmentation and strengthen the moisture barrier and chamomile flower extract for some necessary peak-winter (or post-shave) soothing.

    knix shadow mesh cnnu

    Knix’s whole loungewear and intimate vibe is about bras so comfy you’ll want to just keep lounging in them instead of, you know, loungewear — it occupies the nice middle space between both. Now, it’s come out with a mesh collection that leans heavy on the sexier vibe, without sacrificing comfort. Just added styles include a Shadow Mesh bra with a mesh-overlaid deep-V and leakproof underwear styles from high-rises to thongs. The pieces come in shocking pink, rose water, lotus leaf, black and cobalt, so you can coordinate or not at will. Plus, if you’re looking to stock up, the more you buy, the more you save.

    brooklinen lightweight throw cnnu

    We are hitting maximum levels of coziness at the moment, but here to curl up with us well into spring (and cool summers) are Brooklinen’s new textured blankets in a light spring-friendly weight. Available in three cheery, seasonal shades of sand, dried rose and basil, they’re perfect as a layer under the duvet as it gets warmer, as a topper to complement your bedscape in the spring and fall, or as a throw on top of a sofa during the summer. Plus, right now it’s 15% off, bringing the blanket down to $127.

    girlfriend collective stretch woven cnnu

    Girlfriend Collective just refreshed its Stretch Woven Collection with new styles for lounging, hiking, Saturday adventures and lazy Sunday mornings — it’ll work for wherever the day takes you. They’re made from technical fabric for when you’re on the move (it’s made from 86% recycled polyester; the rest is spandex). Some of the styles are the same as last year (hello again, Play windbreaker and short!); others, like the Stretch Woven Peak Track Jacket and Peak Track Pant, are brand new and in shades of wisteria and palm.

    Courtside (and studio-side) pieces for working out and recovery

    athleta tennis collection cnnu

    Athleta has just dropped its new Advantage Tennis Collection, which features tennis- (and brunch-, and yoga-) ready pieces in the teal, white and dusky pink combo that’s popping up on palettes right now, plus ever-popular black. Starting at $29, the collection includes sweaters, polos, poplins, jackets and — since it seems they’re everywhere right now — Athleta’s take on the (actually functional) tennis dress and skort.

    rhode kit cnnu

    Rhode skincare’s had a streak of sell-outs,  but now’s your chance to get started on the Hailey Bieber-backed regimen in one easy go. The brand just dropped a $95 bundle made up of the barrier restore cream, the peptide glazing fluid, and three peptide lip treatments — each made for plump-looking, glowy skin. Head to the Rhode website to join the waitlist today.

    material apertivo set

    Italians really nailed something when it comes to taking that end-of-day pause for an aperitivo — a little moment with great nibbles and light cocktail/mocktail or wine to bridge the workday with the evening ahead. Material just launched a great aesthetic to make your little pause even more special with an Aperitivo Set ($85) that comes with a Forever Peeler for garnishes, an Almost-4” Knife for (necessary) cheese and a mini reBoard for slicing and dicing the nibbles.

    beautiful by drew lavender cnnu

    Drew Barrymore is kicking off spring with a new shade of lavender bedecking kitchen appliances from her Beautiful by Drew line (starting at $30). You can pick it up in the form of a personal blender for easy smoothies, a bagel-ready toaster, the aforementioned electric kettle, and an air fryer, too — they’re all sold at Walmart.

Each week, we’ll be rounding up a short list of our favorite product drops from the last seven days for you to shop as you sip your morning coffee or take a quick break from work (trust, it’s the only list you need for staying up to date on these things).

    This week brings the launch of Ruggable’s new premium washable rugs, Hill House Home’s pretty prints and spring styles, and Oprah-loved Brightland’s organic, family-farmed persimmon vinegar.

    Shop our favorite new releases below, but be fast — they’re prone to selling out.

    Cushier and more luxurious yet still washable floor decor

    Known for its machine-washable area rugs, runners and doormats, Ruggable is doing our feet and floors one better with the launch of the Premium Medium Pile collection, which takes what the brand does best and makes it higher, softer and even more cushioned. Three times thicker than Ruggable’s previous thickest offerings, the plush new style combines luxury with practicality, since spills are still nothing to worry about — the new collection is just as washable as its predecessors. Premium Medium Pile also comes in tons of sizes, colors and styles, including collab pieces with design guru Jonathan Adler (more from him below).

    levity x jonathan adler cnnu

    Washable furniture and high design don’t usually go hand-in-hand, which is why we’re thrilled that beloved housewares designer Jonathan Adler teamed up with life-proof furniture brand Levity (Ruggable’s sister brand) on 17 colorful, California-retro prints to cover the company’s dining and lounge chairs, stools and ottomans. Ranging from $239 to $799, the interchangeable, machine-washable range means even the most dog- and toddler-filled households can look chic.

    brightland persimmon vinegar

    Brightland, which works exclusively with US-based family farms to produce its olive oils (named one of Oprah’s favorite things!), vinegars and honey, just dropped a new persimmon vinegar to perk up your midwinter cooking rut. The $25 Folklore vinegar is made entirely from naturally fermented, certified organic Fuyu and Hachiya persimmons grown on the nonprofit White Buffalo Land Trust in central California. A little goes a long way toward giving salad dressings, marinades and wellness tonics (add a splash to iced tea!) a little extra zip.

    wp ice cube cnnu

    You can’t be the host with the most without good ice. Housewares brand W&P’s latest, the Ice Cube, is a solution for those of us without automatic ice makers built into our fridges and freezers — and it’s way better than stacking up freezer trays. This handy, practical $20 device does it all: It makes and stores up to 48 easy-to-release ice cubes, stacks easily in the freezer and keeps it all covered with a sealable lid, so your ice stays pure — and your cocktails never end up tasting like the inside of your freezer.

    kitchenaid hibiscus cnnu

    KitchenAid’s $499 Artisan Stand Mixer is already an iconic piece of kitchenware unto itself, but it’s even more of a countertop standout in the company’s 2023 color of the year: hibiscus. Warm, cheery and inviting, this bold new hue conjures up everything we love about home cooking. If you’re less baker, more smoothie-maker, the $300 K400 Blender also comes in the new hibiscus shade.

    hill house home spring cnnu

    Best known for their super-comfy sleepwear-meets-streetwear nap dress, Hill House Home’s just-launched spring drop is positively abloom with new floral prints, an expanded range of separates — hello tops, shorts, knits, swimwear and shoes! — and the return of iconic styles that were previous customer faves. As the weather warms up, get ready to get dressed up or dressed down, all via one cute collection featuring bucolic prints, flattering smocking and easy-wearing silhouettes. Sounds like springtime to us.

    hero cosmetics micropoint xl cnnu

    Hero Cosmetics has just dropped three ultra-targeting versions of its much-loved skincare patches. First, meet the Micropoint XL ($23.99 for six), a patch that works to banish bigger breakouts before they can even fully take root. On the other side of the acne-healing process, the brand’s new and improved Micropoints for Dark Spots ($12.99 for eight) help fade away post-acne hyperpigmentation (or whatever type of hyperpigmentation you may personally be looking to erase from your face) with tranexamic acid, niacinamide, vitamin C and licorice root. Or, at $12.99 for eight, Hero Cosmetics has improved its tried-and-true Micropoint for Blemishes patches — which call in salicylic acid, sodium hyaluronate, niacinamide and willow bark — with twice as many micro points per patch.

    rifle paper co x loloi cnnu

    A vintage-inspired rug and pillow collection, minus the musty whiff of the local secondhand shop? Yes, please. Rifle Paper Co. applied their finest botanical designs to textile brand Loloi’s soft and durable rugs and pillows, for a 30-plus-piece collection ready to bring the best of springtime into your living room. Whether you’d prefer playful pineapples, French florals or beautiful blooms inspired by Windsor Palace, you’ll find a new accent motif to brighten up your space in this collection.

    brooklinen

    Apparently, it’s the year everyone’s going to up their shower game, and if linens are where you’re starting to up your luxe factor, Brooklinen’s got you covered (literally, if you like). Whether you bring the garden vibes inside via soothing shades of rose and eucalyptus, or go for bold thanks to navy and lavender stripes, Brooklinen’s new 100% Turkish cotton washcloths, towels, robes and bath mats (ranging from $15 to $99) make stepping out of every shower — and onto a new checkered bath mat — a plush moment in your own personal spa.

    cuup fishnet tights cnnu

    Out: fish nets left adrift in the sea. In: fishnet stockings adorning your legs. But Cuup’s new version of the aforementioned fishnet tights is sustainably made from actual discarded fish nets. The intimates brand’s eco-friendly and very literal take on fishnets is made from Econyl yarn, which in turn is spun from regenerated pre- and post-consumer waste — like, say, fishing nets that could otherwise harm undersea animals. One pair is $45, or you can partner yours up with Cuup’s Balconette or Plunge bras in $118 bundles. No matter what you choose, sustainability is always sexy.

  • Solo Stove’s new Mesa XL fire pit is the perfect small-space companion | CNN Underscored

    Solo Stove’s new Mesa XL fire pit is the perfect small-space companion | CNN Underscored

    If you’re in need of some warmth to break you out of the winter blues, Solo Stove’s newest launch might be the answer. The beloved backyard fire pit brand has just added a new tabletop option to its lineup: the Mesa XL.

    The Mesa XL is a bigger (but not too big) version of Solo Stove’s existing Mesa tabletop fire pit, which we’ve already tried and loved. Still smokeless and portable, the Mesa XL disperses more heat and has a longer burn time than the original Mesa while still fitting comfortably in any small outdoor space. It’s available in stainless steel as well as all the same colors as the Mesa. And like the rest of the Solo Stove line, the Mesa XL is easy to use, clean and store.

    In addition to this new launch, Solo Stove has introduced the Mesa Accessory Pack, the ideal companion for turning any backyard hangout or camping adventure into a compact cookout. With sizes for the Mesa and Mesa XL, the toolkit comes complete with mini roasting sticks, stick rests, a pellet scoop, a lid and a carrying case.

    Shop the Mesa XL for $110 and the Mesa Accessory Pack for $45 now at special launch prices. Both are set to ship in mid-March.

  • The Watch List: Our favorite product releases coming this year | CNN Underscored

    The Watch List: Our favorite product releases coming this year | CNN Underscored

    CNN Underscored editors regularly highlight new product launches — everything from a new colorway of that viral pan to the next must-have sneaker — through announcement posts, in-depth reviews and comparative testing pieces. What you don’t see: We sometimes know about these new products weeks, even months, in advance, and we eagerly wait until they’re shoppable to share them with you.

    Now, for the first time, we’re giving readers a sneak peek at some of the most anticipated products that are set to launch in 2023 with a new feature: The Watch List.

    Chosen from a pool of nearly 100 upcoming launches, the below products were standouts when it came to innovation, product specs, competitive pricing and more when compared to products already on the market, plus they come from brands that our editors trust and our readers love. We expect that these selections will continue to push their respective categories forward this year — and above all, become staples in your everyday life.

    So read on to mark your calendars with these launch dates, and be sure to check back to read our full reviews once they’re released.

    Tuft + Paw has long been our cat-owning editors’ go-to for beds, perches and other cat accessories that seamlessly blend in with home decor. Now the brand is translating its chic, well-designed feline furniture into something more portable: The Porto cat carrier is the brand’s first foray into carriers, and it boasts tons of useful features in addition to good looks. Porto is airline compliant and can be slid over your rollerboard suitcase handle when it’s time for your feline companions to take to the skies, and for car travel, seat belt clips ensure kitty is secure. All the while, your cat will be comfortable, thanks to mesh windows and removable faux shearling bedding — you will be too, thanks to a padded shoulder strap. Once you’re back home, the carrier can be unzipped and collapsed for easy storage.

    The Watchlist_Yeti

    Yeti coolers and drinkware snagged top honors in their categories when we put them to the test, and now the outdoor-centric brand is branching out with a new collection meant to keep you organized when you’re out in the wilderness. The LoadOut GoBox Collection is designed to protect any and all gear from the elements. Available in three sizes, the cases are dustproof, waterproof and built to withstand extreme impact — Yeti has always performed well in our own durability “drop tests,” so we think they’ll be a great option for adventurers at sea or at the campsite, or just used in your garage. And they’re thoughtfully made on the inside too: A removable caddy will allow you to keep smaller items in order, removable dividers will help keep everything in its place and a Pack Attic compartment (included in the GoBox 30 and 60) on the underside of the lid looks to provide an added layer of efficiency.

    The Watchlist_Stanley

    Stanley’s Quencher tumblers — specifically the massive 40-ounce Quencher H.20 Flowstate — are the water bottles of the moment on social media, renowned for their convenient handles, enormous size and slim base suited to car cup holders. Soon, however, the brand will be throwing things back with a new vintage-inspired hydration accessory. The Legendary Classic Canteen will combine an old-school aesthetic with modern design elements like a handy strap and leakproof lid. It will launch in four colorways — hammertone green, cream, black and stainless steel — and while it’s no Quencher in terms of capacity, we think this stylish smaller, more portable option is one you’ll reach for time and again on days out and about.

    Cozy Earth Bamboo Linen Box Quilt and Shams

    The Watchlist_Cozy Earth

    Cozy Earth’s luxe bedding and linens count Oprah Winfrey herself as a fan — along with quite a few Underscored editors — and now the brand, famous for ultra-soft sheets and loungewear made from bamboo, is expanding its bedroom offerings with its first quilt. The Bamboo Linen Box Quilt and Shams will combine two temperature-regulating fabrics for a set that gets softer with every wash and works in all seasons. Meanwhile, the box quilt pattern keeps everything looking casual cool in four colors: natural, white, light gray and charcoal.

    The Watchlist_Sijo

    We trust Sijo to keep us cool on summer nights with its eucalyptus bedding, and now the brand is branching out to make bedtime even better for little ones. Joi is Sijo’s new baby line, and will include a fitted crib sheet and coordinating sleep sack in delightful yet calming hues and patterns. Both will be made from sustainable, temperature-regulating materials that also happen to be super soft, and they’re made to grow with your child through multiple stages of development (and to be handed down to younger siblings).

    The Watchlist_Fellow

    The maker of one of the best electric kettles we’ve tested is coming for your coffee beans with a completely revamped grinder. The Opus Conical Burr Grinder will have 41 precision settings — that’s more than any other coffee grinder we’ve previously tested — so whether you’re into espresso, drip, pour-over, French press or cold brew, your beans will be just right. A volumetric dosing lid for measuring beans and timed auto-stop feature takes the guesswork out of your daily grind, while anti-static technology keeps the experience mess-free. Price-wise, this grinder is on the splurge end of the spectrum, though it’s still less expensive than our current favorite Baratza grinder. Not to mention, the sleek Opus will look really good sitting out on your countertop; aesthetically, it’s one of the nicest we’ve seen.

    The Watchlist_Playstation

    The PlayStation VR 2 looks to improve upon one of our favorite VR headsets in nearly every way, promising PS5 owners an immersive, fun and hassle-free virtual reality gaming experience. From our time going hands-on with Sony’s new headset, we found it offers richer OLED displays, advanced eye tracking and new haptic controllers that let you truly feel every sword hit and trigger pull — not to mention a much simpler setup process. But it’s really all about the games, and whether you’re climbing the steep cliffs of Horizon Call of the Mountain, sneaking around the spooky hallways of Resident Evil Village or slashing to the rhythm of Beat Saber, you’ll have no shortage of great titles to get completely lost in.

    The Watchlist_Cabeau.jpg

    The Cabeau Evolution S3 is our pick for best travel pillow based on a variety of factors. It’s firm enough to be supportive but soft enough to sleep on. It travels marvelously, as it compresses down to half its size. It boasts smart features like a flat back that rests flush against an airplane seat and an adjustable front neck clasp. Now Cabeau’s newest neck pillow, TNE S3: The Neck’s Evolution, has all of these attributes, and one important new innovation: a chin strap that supports the head and prevents drooping, keeping your neck aligned while you snooze.

    The Watchlist_Mejuri

    An entire week dedicated to diamonds? Yes, please. As the internet’s favorite affordable, cool-girl jewelry purveyor, Mejuri needs no introduction, and the brand is rewarding its loyal following with a collection of new, responsibly sourced diamond-encrusted styles: the Caviar ring featuring 5-carat oval, round and princess cut gems, a stunning pair of classic diamond studs and a few different pavé styles — drop earrings, a bar bracelet and necklace, and a lariat necklace. Best of all, for this week only, all of the pieces are 15% off.

    The Watchlist_Earfun

    EarFun has consistently held the top spot of our best budget earbuds rankings — they’re renowned for good sound, great battery life and decent noise cancellation for less than $80 — and with the EarFun Air Pro 3 on the horizon, that’s not looking to change anytime soon. These are the world’s first noise-canceling earbuds to offer advanced LE Audio technology, which should allow for even better sound quality, latency and battery life than the already excellent Air Pro 2. The best part? All of this advanced audio can be yours for less than $80.

    Roam Carry-On and Large Carry-On With Front Pocket

    The Watchlist_Roam

    Roam’s customizable suitcases aren’t just fun to design (you can mix and match the colors of your hardshell’s front, back, zipper, wheels, handle and more, making it especially easy to spot at baggage claim); they’re incredibly sturdy, lightweight and smooth to roll around. And now the case has added yet another smart design element to the mix: a front pocket, which will be available on both the regular and expandable versions of the Carry-On and Large Carry-On. The new zipper adds at least three-fourths of an inch of extra expansion without stealing any space from the main packing area (great news for overpackers), and includes a foam-padded computer compartment, a phone and glasses pocket, a zipper pocket for your passport and a full panel mesh pocket in the lid.

    The Watchlist_Charlotte Tilbury

    In the world of makeup, Charlotte Tilbury is arguably the queen of viral products, a title that is sure to hold true with the brand’s latest release, an extension of the much-beloved Pillow Talk line. The Pillow Talk Matte Beauty Blush Wand, inspired by the viral Pinkgasm! blush, is a liquid blush with a matte finish and ultra-convenient built-in cushion applicator. Notable for its long-lasting, blurring effect and buildable, easy-to-blend coverage, the blush is available in four peachy-pink shades — that are sure to sell out fast.

    The first halal skincare brand in the U.S. lands at Ulta

    Flora & Noor

    After winning the Rare Beauty Brands x Ulta Beauty x Black Girl Ventures Pitch last spring, Flora & Noor’s range of cleansers, toners, serums, and moisturizers has just launched online at Ulta. In addition to being the first ever halal-certified beauty brand in the U.S., Flora & Noor’s products ($24 to $34) are packed with the good stuff – think ceramides, vitamin C and rose water, just to name a few standout ingredients – and none of the bad, like parabens, phthalates, or alcohols. And on top of it all, the line is clean, vegan and never tested on animals.

    The beloved brand gears up for the gym

    cole haan running shoes cnnu

    Cole Haan

    After 90-plus years in the business, Cole Haan is best known for its comfortable-but-sophisticated footwear ready for any office environment. Now the legacy brand has you covered during your after-work gym run, too: The company just revamped and relaunched four running sneaker styles in men’s and women’s fits. You’re sure to find your preferred shoe here, whether you’re into an easy slip-on style or a super-cushioned yet ultra-lightweight model to get you up to speed on your sprints. The Embrostitch Running Shoe is also Cole Haan’s first sustainable sneaker and made from a mix of recycled and all-natural materials.

    ue wonderboom 3 cnnu

    UE

    The mini-but-mighty Wonderboom Bluetooth speaker regularly lands on audio best-of lists, thanks to its powerful sound, serious range, and water- and dust-resistant exterior. (They also get 14 hours of battery life to keep the party going). Now the popular pick comes in two new limited-edition colors: lavender and green. FYI: They’re only in stock while supplies last.

    A better body cream that truly does it all

    Nécessaire - The Body Cream cnnu

    Necessaire

    PH-balanced, stored in an environmentally- and bathroom decor-friendly glass jar, and packed with a clinical concentration of five different ceramides (plus niacinamide, glycerin and linoleic acid) Nécesaire’s The Body Cream ($45) is a smartly formulated first line of defense (or offense if you need it) against winter’s dry skin. Whether your concern is dry, compromised, or aging skin (or all three!), Nécessaire’s super-rich cream is ready to help repair your skin barrier, banish dryness, and even turn around signs of aging.

    samsonite bts cnnu

    Samsonite

    Whether you go for one of the three eye-catching $45 luggage tags or the $315 rolling trunk in a bright, cheery yellow (or black with subtle yellow accents), Samsonite’s homage-via-luggage to the record-breaking BTS single “Butter” is the perfect gear for the BTS Army uniform — so you can show off your fandom on your travels. There’s also a DIY customization kit for the rollerbags includes interchangeable logo plates, luggage handles and wheel caps. Not planning to jet off on a long holiday? The $80 expandable tote bag is basically made for overnights — or the grocery store.

    loops dream sleep cnnu

    Skincare brand Loop’s newest mask, from brand creative director Camile Mendes, borrows from the practice of skin slugging, believed to have originated in South Korea, with its own take on the practice of slathering the face in a pre-bed petroleum jelly coating. These hydrogel masks ($35 for five) are infused with a proprietary “slugging complex” (comprised of antioxidant-rich macadamia nut, jojoba, grape seed, olive, avocado and evening primrose oils) that absorbs into the skin to create an overnight humectant barrier that seals in moisture and works in harmony with the rest of your skincare.

    hai showerhead cnnu

    Hai

    Kick your cleansing into high gear with the latest from eco-friendly home shower system Hai. The company’s new hydrotherapy system, compatible with their smart showerhead, consists of two parts: a $49 attachment, the Fuse, into which you simply pop one of the company’s many Infusions ($30). These tablets are packed with vitamins and essential oils and target a range of needs, from energy and mood lifts to relaxation, bedtime wind down and post-workout recovery. With this system on hand, who even needs the spa?

    beis sport cnnu

    Beis

    Shay Mitchell’s travel bag brand Bèis has just dropped a brand-new Court Collection, a trio of highly functional bags that look just as good for your daily errands as they do for a lunch out with friends. And if you’re someone who likes a place for everything, these are for you: Each bag comes with a ton of built-in organization. There’s the practical sport sling, a sporty take on the fanny pack; the clever backpack that’s as ready for your laptop and travel gear as it is for your workout duds and tennis racket. Or, pick up the carryall with a laptop sleeve, water bottle holder and a pocket for everything else needed for your daily carry. Each is available in black, beige or slate, so no matter your workout attire or athleisure vibes, there’s a bag that complements it.

    flamingo dermaplaning cnnu

    Say goodbye to peach fuzz and dead skin in one go with Flamingo’s new single-blade Disposable Dermaplane Razor. It gets everything started with a stainless steel Japanese precision blade and easy-to-hold curved handle. Or, get the same effect a different way with Flamingo’s other new launch: the Facial Hair Removal Cream. This is a far cry from formulas of the ’90s – think a subtle iris and suede scent, a dermatologist-tested gentle formula and best of all, an additional calming serum to soothe your skin post-application.

    A backpack and a crossbody bag made for everyone

    JanSport

    After three years of research, product testing and focus groups conducted with Disability:IN, an organization devoted to disability inclusion and equality, JanSport has developed a backpack and crossbody bag with features designed for different mobilities: think features like removable shoulder straps, easy release buckles and finger loops for dexterity limitations. Even better, the Adaptive Collection is designed to fit with a range of mobility devices. Available in black, pink and a tie-dye print, the Adaptive gear carries the same aesthetic as the JanSport bags customers have known and loved for decades for timeless style.

    cuup fuchia colorway cnnu

    Cuup

    Cuup’s balconette and plunge bras, plus the brand’s bikinis, thongs, and high waist undies, are fan favorites for their comfy materials and range of sizes. And just in time for Valentine’s — or Galentine’s, if you prefer — Cuup is releasing deep-hued, super-pigmented versions of their iconic cuts in fuschia, a daring and delightful pink, and carmine, a bold, true red, starting at $20. Choose your fighter for a sexy statement ready to reveal itself under your winter gear.

    caraway steamers cnnu

    Caraway

    Hot, freshly steamed dumplings in the comfort of your own kitchen? Yes please. Scrubbing off hardened bits of dumpling wrapper after dinner? Ugh. Enter internet-fave Caraway’s innovative new steamers, which pair a non-toxic ceramic coating with a classic stainless steel body so you’ll never have to scrub away stuck-on food again. Plus, the duo comes in two sizes, a little and a biggie, so whether you’re preparing a festive feast or doing dinner for one, your cleanup will be fast and hassle-free.

    Gear that’s good for you and good for the world

    athleta yoga cnnu

    Athleta

    Athleta’s first-ever yoga accessories just dropped. The three-piece set is designed with sustainability in mind — the $119 mat is 70% natural rubber from 100% FSC certified forests, the $24 block is made from 51% renewable sugarcane and the bag to tote around both items is crafted from 100% recycled polyester ripstop fabric. Plus, if you’re looking to head to your next Ashtanga course in a fully coordinated ensemble, Athleta’s got you literally covered, with new performance bodysuits, leggings and sports bras in vibrant, complementary colors to go perfectly with your new gear.

    A classy band for your favorite wearable tech

    nomad aluminum bands

    Nomad

    Keeping the face of your Apple Watch scratch-free is imperative, obviously, but how about the band? Nomad’s on the case with their just-launched advanced aluminum bands, designed in two shades to perfectly match the watch itself. Each version retains the look of a classic watch band but pairs it with slim, magnetic clasp and a super-hard carbon coating reminiscent of that other carbon-based product (ahem, diamonds) designed to stand up to the toughest of wearers.

    A wearable ode to the best of Maine’s wildlife

    parks project acadia collection cnnu

    Parks Project

    Inspired by the stunning shoreline and unique fauna of Maine’s Acadia National Park, Parks Project’s latest gear drop makes it easy to dress for the great outdoors as well as the great indoors. Think wave-printed sherpa pullovers, fanny packs and bucket hats, plus practical pullovers and long-sleeve tees featuring some of the park’s most iconic wildlife, including puffins, moose and lobsters you absolutely won’t want to drop in a pot.

    calpak mini luca cnnu

    Calpak

    What’s better than a hardy, water-resistant backpack with a bunch of pockets that also comes in a handful of fun colors? A mini version of said item, which won’t leave you worried you’re going to slam your bag into your neighbor every time you make a sudden turn in a crowd. Calpak’s new Luka Mini is as cute as it is useful for $72 — it even has a luggage sleeve to sit astride your roller bag. Another new item takes care of your laptop: Calpack just launched 13- and 17-inch laptop cases for when you and your office are on the go.

    Be quick like a rabbit in a pair of warm and wooly new sneakers

    allbirds lunar new year cnnu.jpg

    Allbirds

    In honor of the Lunar New Year, which sees us entering the Year of the Rabbit, Allbirds is launching a special edition version of its Wool Runners in beige and white versions for men, women and children. At $110, the adult sneakers are an incredibly practical way to stick to your winter jogging resolutions and keep your feet warm at the same time, but the $70 fluffy white kiddie version is straight-up adorable.

    Now in four scents from the minimalist beauty brand

    glossier-deodorant-trio.jpg

    Glossier

    Glossier’s Deodorant officially launched this week, and true to the minimalist beauty company’s form, it’s a formula pared down to good-for-you, good-for-the-earth basics: The deo is refillable, vegan, cruelty-free, and non-comedogenic — and is free of aluminum, baking soda, acids and water. Plus, there’s some coconut oil in there to help condition your skin and potato starch helps you stay dry. Scents include Sandstone (think oceany, rugged-rock vibes), Glossier You (Glossier’s OG fragrance), Orange Blossom Neroli (you might recognize the cedarwood and citrus notes from Glossier’s Body Hero Collection) and unscented.

    (And FYI, you’ll be able to snag a Glossier Sunshine Yellow Duffel Bag as a gift with purchase on all Glossier.com orders over $70.)

    For inside and outside the haus

    graf lantz haus clogs.jpg

    Graf Lantz

    House shoes are a thing. You change into them when you step out of your shoes right inside your door, and they should never, ever be sullied by the dirt of the outdoors (much less your building hallway — otherwise what’s the point?). Now, merino wool experts Graf Lantz has come out with their own version of the at-home shoes, called the Haus Clogs — the company’s first-ever footwear.

    You can, according to the company, wear these outside the home (but please, have an indoor pair too), and they’re comfy all year round, thanks to the merino wool that keeps them warm in the winter but dry and cool in the summer. They come in unisex sizing in the brand’s Merino Wool Felt colors, Granite, Charcoal and Olive.

    Waffle-weave towel maker Onsen just launched a new plush collection | CNN Underscored

    You might know Onsen for its famous Japanese waffle-weave towels and robes, but it’s a new year and the brand is kicking it off with a new, completely different towel collection. For those of us who love a little luxury to wrap up in post-shower, the Wovy Collection, inspired by 5-star hotel linens, is nothing short of fluffy, plush perfection.

    The new line includes towels in four sizes of soft downy cotton goodness: face towel, hand towel, bath towel and bath sheet. You can choose between oatmeal, white and fog colorways, each adding a little tranquility to your precious shower time. And most importantly, the fibers used in the Wovy towels go a long way toward softness — and longevity. They’re made from Turkish-grown Aegean cotton, which is known for its downy texture and long fibers.

    Bath sheets are $60 each (or two for $108), bath towels are $40 each (or two for $72), hand towels go for $20 (or two for $36) and face towels (aka washcloths) go for $12 (or two for $22). You can also buy sets — including a set of bath sheets and bath towels — for discounted prices.

    A candle that smells like nostalgia your favorite fictional coffeeshop

    Homesick

    It seems we’re hitting peak “Friends” nostalgia, and the new Friends x Homesick Central Perk candle from Homesick and is all about recreating the scent of that iconic fictional coffeeshop. Expect notes of espresso, steamed milk, caramel and cream (but don’t blame us if you find yourself craving an extra latte).

    Editor’s note: This is a collaboration between Homesick and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, which is part of CNN’s parent company.

    the outset ultralight oil cnnu

    The Outset

    Scarlett Johansson’s skincare line has just dropped a $44 facial oil for skin left a little dry from winter weather. The nongreasy formula uses squalane (and botanical oils) to replenish the natural moisture barrier of your skin to keep all that goodness locked in. It’s formulated to play nice with oily skin, too.

    A firming oil for everywhere but your face

    sol de janeiro bum bum oil cnnu

    Sol de Janeiro

    Whether you’re heading to the Brazilian beach or just feeling a little puffy (hi, midwinter!), this new Bum Bum Body Firmeza Oil from internet-famous brand Sol de Janeiro promises to not just add some hydration to your skin, but visibly firm and de-puff it as well. It also smells amazing too, thanks to its Cheirosa ‘62 scent, featuring notes of pistachio and salted caramel.

    Brand-new robovacs and a cordless wet-dry model, too

    roborock s8 pro cnnu

    Roborock

    Winter brings peak dirt and grit into the house, and the newest models from Roborock are here to tackle it easily (because life goes too fast to spend more time than necessary cleaning). The brand’s new S8 series features more-powerful-than-ever robotic models, including a new mopping system and a range of over 300 square meters. Best of all, you’ll go up to seven weeks without emptying it, meaning you have to think about cleaning less often. And there’s also the new Dyad Pro, a cordless wet-dry vac that gets within a millimeter of wall edges and adapts its cleaning power to the amount of dirt concentration it senses.

    reformation agathea loafer cnnu

    Reformation

    The Reformation’s fan-favorite Agathea Chunky Loafer is starting off the new year with three new looks. Adding to the colorway choices are now a mirror-metallic finish, plus two two-tone colorways in black/white and nutmeg/white. Plus, it’s made from materials like a recycled rubber compound specifically chosen for its low fossil-fuel-derived content, foam derived from sugar cane and ethically sourced leather from Brazil. And yes, it’s 100% recyclable through Reformation’s RefRecycling program.

    Maximalist ski gear with bright florals and more

    La DoubleJ.

    If you like your skiwear a little more glam than rugged, La DoubleJ.’s new ski wear collection is full of ‘70s maximalist vibes with a big splash of pure Italian fun. Expect technical clothing for the slopes (or after them) in stylish patterns, like a reversible high-collar jacket, second-skin leggings and some gorgeous knitted socks for cozy feet.

    Bocce’s Bakery

    Bocce’s Bakery has its own pedigree of delicious treats for your dog, and it’s just launched two new collections for snacking.

They’re made in 50-lb. batches to keep things fresh and delicious and come in three flavors: Pumpk’n Harvest, Spiced Cake and Wild ‘Berry Biscotti.

    There’s also a new Valentine’s Day collection featuring sweet and savory treat combos your pup will be very happy to hoover up. Bags are $6.50 each and flavors include peanut butter and blueberry, strawberry and cream cheese, and bananas and bacon (or get the trio as a bundle for $16.50).

    Easyplant

    Maybe your attempt at a green thumb didn’t go super-well in 2022, but you can start the new year off fresh with Easyplant’s aptly named collection. With this $309 bundle, you’ll get a small Money Tree that symbolizes good fortune and prosperity; a medium Anthurium with gorgeous heart-shaped leaves; and a large Fiddle Leaf Fig Bush for some glamour.

    Refresh your space with Target’s newest home must-haves | CNN Underscored

    The old adage “there’s no time like the present” is never more apropos than at the start of a new year. While we’re tackling our fitness goals and hauling away the Christmas décor, it’s also a good time to take stock of everything that’s not working in your home — ya know, what needs refreshing, what needs to be organized and, probably, what’s ready for the donation pile. The good news? A 2023 home glow up doesn’t have to break the bank, thanks to Target.

    That’s right, the mega retailer has just dropped hundreds of new items from its spring collections that are guaranteed to refresh pretty much every area of your home. Whether you’re looking to update a patio space, add décor details to a living room or organize a pantry, Target’s got myriad options from its exclusive design partnerships Threshold designed with Studio McGee (Shea McGee!), Hearth & Hand with Magnolia (Joanna Gaines!) and Opalhouse designed with Jungalow (Justina Blakeney!), not to mention its own home organization brand Brightroom.

    Covering palettes from muted and minimalist to colorful and modern, the newest pieces include everything from pillows and planters to curtains, decorative baskets, chairs, lamps and more — and it all starts around $3. Check out our favorite picks from each collection below.

    $20 at Target

    Target

    If you’ve scrolled through Instagram and TikTok ogling highly-curated shelves — full of frames, books and objets d’art — you’re not alone. While mimicking those designs might seem impossible, Threshold Designed With Studio McGee is making the task a bit easier this spring with lots of shelf-friendly pieces that are super affordable. Like this teak sculpture that rings in at 20 bucks and is perfect for stacking atop books or placing next to a vase.

    $25 at Target

    Modern Marble Figural

    Target

    Another decorative piece we can’t get enough of? This stunning marble sculpture. Chock full of grays and browns that will blend with your existing aesthetic, the figural looks far, far more expensive than it actually is.

    $25 at Target

    Large Oval Leather Shagreen Tray

    Target

    Affordable décor accents can have a big impact in your space. Case in point: this striking faux leather tray. Like something you’d find at a fancy home store, the tray is not only chic and eye-catching, but also practical in that it can corral TV remotes, magazines or snacks atop a coffee table. We also love that the collection has matching small and large boxes with removable lids that you can coordinate with in your room.

    $185 at Target

    Lynwood Cube Bench

    Target

    Let us count the ways that we loooove this bench. For one, its ticking striped pattern is crisp, airy and neutral, making it a universal piece that will look great wherever it lands. Second, it can provide extra seating for two people. And third, it’s got storage! Whether you’re tossing toys, blankets or extra shoes and boots in there, the piece is a triple threat that will work in any room.

    $250 at Target

    Shiffer Console Table

    Target

    Natural materials is another design trend that is staying put this year, and this water hyacinth console table fits right in. Perfect for entryways — its shallow depth is just 13.38 inches — the table is also a great option for placing behind a couch or gussying up an empty corner.

    $80 at Target

    Powerloom Stripe Outdoor Rug

    Target

    There’s no quicker (or cheaper) way to refresh an outdoor space than with a rug, and this one from Studio McGee has a sage-and-charcoal gray striped pattern that’s perfect for accenting your sitting area. We love that it can be hosed down when dirty, and that it has a latex backing ensuring it will stay in place. 

    $90 at Target

    Marble Top Drink Table

    Target

    We’re calling it: Tiny drink tables are going to be a big 2023 trend. Solving a lifelong problem — where to place your drink when the coffee table is more than an arm’s reach away — drink tables are popping up at pretty much every home retailer out there because they’re handy to have around and they don’t take up much space. We’re huge fans of the sleek marble-and-brass combo that rings in at under 60 bucks.

    $28 at Target

    Gingham Rectangular Woven Tablecloth

    Target

    If anyone knows how to set a welcoming table, it’s Joanna Gaines. Get in on the tablescape action with this sweet woven tablecloth, which has a crisp and spring-y gingham pattern and, bonus, coordinating napkins.

    $15 at Target

  • We tried the Yeti Yonder, the brand’s lightest water bottle yet | CNN Underscored

    We tried the Yeti Yonder, the brand’s lightest water bottle yet | CNN Underscored

    Known for its lineup of rough and tough wares — from coolers and bags to chairs and blankets — Yeti is the go-to brand for nature lovers and sideline-sitting parents alike. While the indestructibility of Yeti gear is a huge selling point for consumers, the brand is equally popular because of its smart design details. Never is this strategic engineering more apparent than in Yeti’s latest product drop, the Yonder Water Bottle.

    Yeti recently launched its lightest water bottle yet make from BPA-free plastic. It’s available in two sizes: 25 ounces and 34 ounces.

    Available in 25-ounce and 34-ounce formats, Yonder is a big deal for two reasons. First, it’s the lightest water bottle Yeti has ever created, making it super portable. Second, it’s also the brand’s first-ever non-insulated water carrier, comprised of BPA-free plastic. Basically, Yonder was created to deliver on Yeti’s high-performing, ultra-durable reputation, while simultaneously being light enough to accompany users in previously unexplored terrain.

    To get them there, Yeti tested and tweaked Yonder amongst more than 150 professional outdoorsmen and women, including mountaineer and filmmaker  Jimmy Chin and climber Conrad Anker, who provided insights that were then incorporated into the water bottle’s development. Read: Yonder was made by outdoorsmen for outdoorsmen!

    While I’m decidedly not that, I am a huge fan of Yeti’s drinkware — the vacuum-sealed, stainless steel Rambler Tumbler holds my coffee during the morning school drop off, while the Wine Tumbler is my go-to for neighborhood happy hours. As such, I was excited to take both sizes of the Yonder for a spin over the past week, testing it on the go, during workouts and yes, throughout my many daily kiddo carpools. Check out my Yonder experience below.

    yeti yonder courtney cnnu 2.jpg

    Courtney Thompson

    Not surprisingly, my favorite detail about Yonder is its concurrent capacity and lightweighted-ness. To compare, the 34-ounce Yonder weighs .67 pounds, whereas the 30-ounce Yeti Rambler Tumbler clocks in at 1.1 pounds. Yonder is nearly a half-pound less, despite carrying an additional four ounces of liquid.

    Point being: Yonder’s portability claim holds up, which leads me to my second favorite design detail — the clip or carry handle. While it can fit into backpack side pockets, both sizes of the Yonder bottle feature a big ol’ built-in handle atop the screw cap that can be slipped through a backpack strap or attached to your bag via a carabiner. The result? Easy access, people! And because the Yonder cap is two parts (a screw cap plus a wide-mouth spout that can also be removed), you can quickly detach the cap, take a sip and reattach the bottle while you’re on the go.

    More about that cap — it’s 100% leak proof. I even let my 8-year-old son test this out and trust me, if a third grader can’t break something, no one can. Despite vigorous shaking and using the Yonder as a football, the bottle remained completely watertight. And it survived drops, kicks and bangs galore, with nary a scratch. The brand acknowledges that Yonder will attain scratches over time, but its shatterproof claim definitely held up for me (and my kid).

    Another perk of the Yonder cap’s two-part system is that while the controlled, wide-mouth spout makes for easy sipping and quick refills, it also screws off, making for equally easy hand-washing. And if you’re a dishwasher person, fear not, the bottle can be washed on the top and bottom racks. Say it with me: Amen!

    I’m almost done talking about this cap, I promise. But I’d be remiss to not mention that both parts are lined with small grooves that make it super easy to grip and open, even with gloves on or with wet hands. This is certainly a small design detail, but one that can have a big impact depending on how you’re using the water bottle.

    Lastly, I like that price. To score such a high-quality product for under $30 is always going to be a win for me.

    yeti yonder courtney cnnu 1.jpg

    Courtney Thompson

    By eliminating the weighty insulation, you lose the ability to keep drinks hot or cold for long periods of time. In fact, hot drinks can’t be stored in Yonder at all, nor can carbonated beverages. And while the smaller, 25-ounce size bottle fits nicely into the car cup holder, the bigger 34-ounce (my preferred size) does not. I was able to sort of wedge it into my Chevrolet Suburban’s cup holder, but there was no way it was fitting into the smaller option in my husband’s sedan.

    Another (minor) complaint is that Yonder can’t be customized like most of the other Yeti gear.

    It’s no secret that I also love the Stanley Quencher cup for a host of reasons, chief among them being the fact that the straw allows for nonstop, all-day hydration. In this department, the Yonder is inferior because you have to unscrew the cap every time you want a sip of water. That said, the Stanley’s biggest limitation is that it’s not leakproof and isn’t great for traveling, which is Yonder’s strength.

    When compared to the slew of plastic water bottles in my pantry, Yonder wins again because while most brands claim to be leak proof, the Yeti water bottle actually is. And it’s lighter and more rugged than any other I’ve tested. Whereas plastic options from Target prove to be flimsy over time, the Yonder definitely looks and feels like it’s going to stand the test of time. And in the event it doesn’t, you can call on the brand’s five-year warranty.

    yeti yonder review inline

    Yeti

    If you’re looking for a lightweight, leakproof water bottle that can take a beating on the road — whether you’re commuting to work, white water rafting or hitting the slopes — the Yonder will deliver, particularly if insulation and beverage temperature aren’t important to you. Available in four transparent colorways, the Yonder might cost a bit more than the competition, but it’s money well spent.

  • Kim Kardashian spent 3 years creating Skims’ new bras — we put them to the test | CNN Underscored

    Kim Kardashian spent 3 years creating Skims’ new bras — we put them to the test | CNN Underscored

    Anyone who’s ever tightened a limp bra strap, tugged at a pinching underwire or, cringe, taken a deep breath only to discover a too-tight band, well, they know the pain of an ill-fitting bra. And while there are thousands of bra options on the market — all of which promise comfort, support, sexiness and myriad other selling points — only a small fraction actually deliver on those promises.

    Which brings me to Skims’ latest innovation: The undergarments brand founded by Kim Kardashian recently dropped a “system of bra solutions” that has been three years in the making. Claiming to provide incredible support and the best shape while “feeling like you’re wearing nothing,” Skims rolled out a slew of new bra styles to complement the cozy bralettes they’ve become known for since the brand first launched. (Side note: I stan the Skims Fits Everybody Triangle Bralette, and could write an entire story about why I love that style alone, but mainly you need to know it’s supportive, cozy and sexy all at once and I wear it 24/7… even when I’m sleeping.)

    “Guys, these are the most comfortable bras you’ll ever wear,” said Kardashian in an official teaser for the bras posted on YouTube. “I’ve always found bras to be so uncomfortable and constricting, my bra was the first thing I’d take off when I got home. We started to develop underwire bras because I really wanted to figure out how to blend the comfort and ease of a bralette with the shape and support of an underwire bra.”

    To get there, Skims conducted a year of fitting trials and wear tests, where women of every shape and size put the bras through the wringer. “The feedback we received means that there really is a bra style here that fits every single need, shape, want that you can possibly imagine,” said Kardashian.

    It’s no secret I’m a fan of Skims ever-expanding wares. From swimwear to the viral Fendi collab, I’ve been perpetually impressed not only with the accurate sizing, fit and Instagrammability of it all, but most importantly the quality. But whereas the previous Skims lingerie was more about cozy options, with this latest rollout, Kardashian entered the “serious bra” world. How did they hold up?

    This silky mesh collection featuring unlined molded cups comes in two styles: balconette and demi.

    These ultra comfortable bras are meant to fit like a second skin. Choose from four styles: The longer line, overhead Scoop and Plunge Tank Bras, and the regular Scoop and Plunge styles with a more traditional back closure.

    Available in demi and scoop cuts, this lightweight bra is designed to lift and shape thanks to a 3D woven knit “foam” cup.

    I tested the No Show Molded Unlined Demi Bra ($58), which is available in 32A to 44F sizes. Light as a feather and whisper-thin, this bra is proof that Kardashian was not joking when she said she wanted it to feel like you’re wearing nothing. IRL, when holding the raw-cut mesh bra, it actually looks and feels like stockings. When I put it on, I have to say it felt like no other bra I’ve ever tried on. Like most women, I’ve been covering up my chest in padded or lined bras for decades to avoid nip slips, so my mind was actually a little blown when I put on this completely sheer and unlined bra. It was totally liberating and sort of made me feel like a ’90s supermodel.

    Having tested the bra for more than a month, I can say that I’m still obsessed with it. It’s super sexy and gives off a braless look under clothes — you can see nipple outlines through thinner material, so keep that in mind when you’re considering buying! Most importantly, it’s chock full of support via the comfortable underwire and the fit was accurate, with zero gaping or pinching. I also love the seamless nature of the fabric, which has an invisible edge and seemingly lies completely flat on your skin.  One downside: The silky straps (which I looove) can become a little loose after a full day of wear and usually require tightening.

    We also had a reviewer test out the Naked Plunge Tank Bra ($58), which is a wireless, full-coverage option that comes in sizes XXS to 5X. Comprised of nylon-spandex blend fabric, the second-skin bra is also incredibly supportive, even for larger busts. “I had a Large DD and found the fit to be spot on,” said our reviewer. “The bra itself is quite stretchy, so it’s forgiving size-wise, but I felt it was just the right amount of snug without feeling suffocating. I’ve basically refused to wear an underwire since before the pandemic, so in the last few years, I’ve tried a lot of wireless, pullover bras. The main issue with most of these bras is that they aren’t supportive enough for someone with a larger chest — Skims doesn’t have that problem. I found this bra to be ultra-supportive and smoothing, not to mention extremely comfortable.” Beyond that, she also found that the bra produced just the right amount of cleavage and that the wide straps were not only comfortable, but also invisible under clothing.

    Naked Plunge Tank Bra

    A third reviewer was able to test the Naked Scoop Bra ($44) for us and declared it, “One of the most comfortable bras I’ve tried.” Buttery soft and stretchy to boot, the full-coverage, wireless bra comes in sizes XXS to 5X and features adjustable straps and a hook-and-eye closure. “This is so much more comfortable than the underwire bras I own,” she said. “It’s like a combination of a bralette, sports bra and traditional bra all in one. It’s lightweight like a bralette, supportive and simple like a sports bra and gives a nice foundation like a traditional bra. It also has slightly wider straps than traditional bras, which adds some extra support.” And what about negatives? Our reviewer found none! And even added that she wants this style in multiple colors.

    Naked Scoop Bra

    Two of the bras we tested — one a Naked style, one a Weightless option — had abrasive seams that irritated our skin. While likely a one-off design flaw, in both instances we stopped wearing the bra because of the discomfort.

    Though a huge fan of the bra, the reviewer of the Naked Plunge Tanks did note that the conservative-cut of the bra would rule out skimpier tops, and that the bottom of the tank tended to roll up a bit, requiring her to pull it down throughout the day.

    Naked Plunge Bra in Onyx.jpg

    Skims

    When it comes to fit, comfort and design, Skims reigns supreme. And the wireless and underwired bra options we tested proved to be incredibly supportive, even for larger chests. Speaking of, we are here for the size inclusivity! With sizes XXS to 5X, 32A to 44F, Skims has an option for every body type out there.

    And the brand handily beats out the competition when it comes to cache. With 4.5 million Instagram followers — not to mention Kardashian’s 333 million followers — Skims creates a frenzy of excitement around each and every new product launch with lots of sneak peeks and previews. If you’re lucky enough to get your hands on an item, the hype delivers, especially in the sexy department. Whether you’re wearing a soft tank bra or a completely sheer balconette bra, you’re going to channel the brand’s provocative joie de vivre, which is worth the price of admission.

    Handblown (but strong) tumblers, plus cloth napkins and more

    We’d be happy living in this kind of Material world: The brand’s just launched a new collection of table linens and glassware that’ll set the scene beautifully for holiday meals and entertaining. The 100% flax Linen Collection includes a set of four napkins, a set of two reversible placemats and a 90-inch-by-60-inch tablecloth. The tablecloth comes in Mocha, Blue Grey, Sable and Cloud, and the placemats in trios of Jade/Blue Grey/Sand, Sienna/Mocha/Sage and Sand/Sable/Cloud are made to complement perfectly.

    Meanwhile, the handblown, extremely chic glassware is available in two sizes — full and half — and sells as a pack of four. Colorways include Haze (gray), Clear and Malachite (green). They’re made to be stacked, and while the borosilicate glass looks super delicate, it’s actually on the strong side and is very happy in the dishwasher. They’re made for spirits too: Each size is designed around an “ideal ice cube,” per the company.

    eddie bauer x homme and femme

    Eddie Bauer is continuing its streak of relevant collaborations with its latest capsule: a collection with Homme + Femme. The outdoors outfitter teamed up with the Los Angeles-based streetwear label for a “Hyper Hiker” collection inspired by ’90s hip-hop culture. Each piece, from puffers to socks, is designed to be worn by any gender and comes in sizes XS to 3X.

The smallest works like a stress ball on your pressure points, the medium is great for a tension-relieving hug and the latest is great on the sofa as a throw.

    Solo Stove and NASA uniform designers team up with the rugged blanket company

    rumpl nasa

    Rumpl has had no shortage of great partnerships recently, and two more have just hit the website: one to take you to the stars, and one that’ll connect you with that most earthly of elements, fire. The first collab sees the Rumpl blanketeers teaming up with Oxcart Assembly, the creative cooperative behind NASA’s on-air uniforms for an Artemis Mission-inspired motif based on the upcoming launch. It features three different styles: There’s the Original Puffy Blanket Artemis, the Original Puffy Blanket NASA and the Original Puffy Poncho Artemis.

    Back on Earth, there’s also Rumpl’s new blanket collab with Solo Stove, which is a NanoLoft Flame Blanket that’ll keep you warm and protected against both the breeze and any errant campfire sparks. Best of all, it packs down into a stuff sack about the size of a Nalgene.

    gopro hero11 mini

    GoPro just released its most compact model yet: the Hero11 Black Mini, which packs a lot of power in its small body. At $300, it’s designed to be super easy to carry, mount and navigate with one-button controls. It does best in high-action settings (the more airflow, the better to cool it down), and it’s compatible with the GoPro Quik app, which makes it easy to make a highlight reel of your latest escapade.

    221110123344-away-y2k-lead

    Away

    Away’s been coming out with some retro-inspired collabs lately, and after the launch of the ’90s Pop collection comes Y2K. This round sees bestsellers like The Carry-On in high-shine, pearlized shades like Dotcom (pearlized blue), Bling (pearlized white) and Cyber (pearlized black), plus some luggage charms to zhuzh up the whole mood.

    hunter boots personalization

    The white labels on Hunter’s boots are a definitive part of their look, but now you can make it all truly your own: The brand is now offering a boot personalization service for its Original Rain Boots when you order through hunterboots.com.

    Add your name, or something else — you have a whole eight characters per label to play with per boot. After you decide what you’ll say, the only task left is to pick out which shade: one of the classics (black, Hunter Red) or a seasonal hue like Olive Leaf?

    yeti yonder

    Available in 750-milliliter ($25) and 1-liter ($28) sizes, Yeti’s newest plastic addition to its drinkware lineup is designed to be “virtually indestructible,” whether you’re on the trail or you just tend to drop things a lot.

    Pair your Goshi shower towel with the brand’s new body wash and lotion, made with a pH-balanced formula that promises to “nourish and feed everyone’s individual biome.” Ingredients include coconut, jojoba seed oil and shea butter along with collagen-boosting and anti-inflammatory vitamins A, E and B to create a pair of nourishing self-care products. We’ve been using the wash and lotion for a couple weeks now and love the way they make our skin feel. Fair warning: The scent is soothing but strong and might be overwhelming for those with a sensitive sense of smell.

    Our favorite product releases this week: Stanley, Hill House Home, Glossier and more | CNN Underscored

    There are a ton of great products that drop every week — and we’re here, as always, to keep you up to date on the best of them. Each week, we’ll be rounding up a short list of our favorite product drops from the last seven days for you to shop as you sip your morning coffee or take a quick break from work (trust, it’s the only list you need for staying up to date on these things).

    This week brings the launch of Hill House Home’s holiday collection, new made-for-home coffee mugs from Stanley and a new seasonal lip balm from Glossier to put you in a festive, cozy mood.

    Shop our favorite new releases below, but be fast — they’re prone to selling out.

    Tartan nap dresses, pastel puffer jackets and more

    Hill House Home’s Holiday Collection is here, and it’s going beyond your usual ruffled nap dresses to include puffed-sleeve brocade minidresses, a button-down Evelyn dress with a short hem and wide collar, the Cordelia Dress with a rounded tie neck and a sequin-spangled Ellie Nap Dress that’s ready to party.

    Glossier Swiss Miss Balm Dotcom

    Glossier’s drops tend to sell out fast, so we don’t advise waiting on its latest one, which is perfect for when temps start to drop too. The bestselling Balm Dotcom now comes in a seasonal iteration: The Swiss Miss Balm Dotcom is all about cozy snow days with a rich mug of hot chocolate with hints of vanilla and marshmallow.

    Stanley DayBreak Drinkware

    Top insulated drinkware maker Stanley has just dropped a line of coffee mugs made for early mornings: The Demitasse Cup, Cappuccino Cup and Latte Cup are all made using Stanley’s famous vacuum-insulated technology but made to stay at home. Pick up a saucer with your coffee mug (or not) — the plates have silicone bases that won’t clink on your table. Everything is dishwasher-safe too, making chaotic mornings a little more manageable.

    Omsom IYKYK Shaker Set

    Contrary to popular belief, MSG is not only totally fine to eat, but it makes everything more delicious too. Now you can add it to your table (if you haven’t been using it already to make your meals tasty) as part of a trifecta of shakers from Omsom. Joined by salt and pepper, the MSG comes in a poppy, bright shaker meant to coordinate with the other two packages.

    Brightland Mini Artist Series

    Brightland Mini Artist Series

    Good-quality EVOO is a kitchen staple — and fancier versions make a great treat to gift. Brightland’s just dropped a four-pack of its bestselling California olive oils that come in smaller bottles perfect for tastings and other judicious uses. For $85, the bundle includes Ardor (red chili-infused), Rosette (garlic-infused), Lucid (lemon-infused) and Arise (basil-infused) — and you can make the decision to break up the foursome (the bottles make great stocking stuffers) or gift it all in one go. If you’re really dedicated to your oil, that 100-milliliter size squeaks you in under the TSA’s limitations on carry-on liquids too.

    Caraway Food Storage Sets

    Caraway’s food storage set has officially launched, and these ceramic-coated, nontoxic glass containers are both eye-grabbing on the refrigerator shelves and easy to clean up once you’ve finished off your leftovers. The 14 pieces in each $245 set come in five sizes and six colors, so you can organize to your heart’s content (and there’s a magnetic storage organizer so your cupboards stay tidy). There’s also the clever option of making part of the set into a bento-style lunch box to make toting your food to work and back super easy.

    4 handy blades brought back from the archives (for now)

    Made In Limited-Edition Knife Re-Release

    Made In’s kitchenware and cookware are all about exceptional products for great value, and the brand’s turning back to its archives to rerelease four of the brand’s limited-edition knives. They’re the best out of Made In’s 14 previous limited-edition knife drops, and the four styles that are coming back onto the virtual shelves all serve a different purpose in the kitchen. First up is a 6-inch Chef Knife with Black Micarta Handle, a bit smaller than standard versions. There’s also a Boning Knife with Green Micarta Handle, which originally sold out in hours last year, a Cleaver with Ebony Wood Handle that fits the hybrid space between veg and meat blades and the return of Made In’s first-ever limited-edition knife, which features a gorgeous blue Carapace handle.

    Bright colors and patterns with a nostalgic, whimsical vibe

    Away '90s Pop Collection

    Inspired by the bright shades and colorblocking of the ’90s, Away’s just-dropped ’90s Pop Collection includes new takes on the brand’s favorite bags and travel accessories. Expect pink-and-red dual-tone carry-ons and checked bags, brightly marbeled swirls on sling bags and packing cubes and accessories like luggage charms to distinguish your bag from the rest.

    Beis x Elsa Hosk Collection

    Shay Mitchell’s Beis line of travel and lifestyle products has teamed up with Elsa Hosk to create a line of bags for parents on the go. There’s a style for everyone: The line includes a tote bag, backpack tote, changing clutch, caddy, baby sling and more. Expect actually cool patterns like graphic prints in lime, yellow florals and more that carry the bag from babyhood to childhood and beyond.

    Balmuda The Speaker

    Balmuda’s elegantly designed appliances and electronics have previously filled up our kitchens, but the brand has just launched a $399 speaker that carries over the aesthetic of the line and adds some concert-quality sound too. The idea came from the founder’s past in a Japanese rock band and his quest to make recorded music measure up to the goodness of live music, and these speakers are made just for that. Expect acoustics made for vocal-centered music and great balance so every tone is in harmony. It’s also rechargeable and portable so you can bring it wherever you are.
