This week’s dive into the world of launches and collaborations that we’re pretty sure will sell out includes sweet-smelling deodorants from Native and Baked by Melissa, a feather-filled wedding collection from Sleeper, and teas inspired by the new Disney+ Star Wars series The Book of Boba Fett.
Philips One by Sonicare x Susan Alexandra
2022 is kicking off as the year of unlikely collaborations. First up: Philips One by Sonicare (yes, the toothbrush brand) and accessories designer Susan Alexandra. The two have teamed up on a collection of toiletry and tote bags, all of which are hand-jeweled in Susan Alexandra’s signature style. This cheekily named Travelina pouchette from the collection comes with a Susan Alexandra sticker sheet and is sized to fit the Philips One by Sonicare power toothbrush.
Dame Com
Dame — which makes sexpert-recommended vibrators — has released its most powerful vibrator yet. The Com is a take on the classic wand-style vibrator, upgraded to have a more flexible, curved silhouette; Dame says the design makes for a more comfortable experience. It’s currently available in two colors, periwinkle and blush pink.
Boy Smells Hinoki Fantôme Cologne de Parfum
Boy Smells’ best-selling Hinoki Fantôme candle now comes in a fragrance. Like the candle, the perfume has notes of sacred Japanese hinoki wood as well as of earthy spices like tobacco leaves and patchouli.
Diptyque Unleash the Rose Collection
Also on the scent front: Diptyque is expanding its Eau Rose collection with an eau de parfum and three new candles. The perfume contains unique notes like artichoke, chamomile, and nitchi and comes in limited-edition floral packaging.
Baked by Melissa x Native
Body-care brand Native has teamed up with tiny cupcake makers Baked by Melissa on a sweet-smelling collection of body washes and deodorants. Native’s cult-favorite deodorant — which we’ve written about many times before — now comes in four limited-edition scents: tie-dye vanilla, peach,-ginger lemonade, and mint cookie.
Sleeper Bridal
Sleeper — which makes puffy-sleeved dresses and flirty feathered pajamas — has officially expanded into wedding wear (though some people have already been adapting the brand’s all-white ensembles for such purposes). The collection includes a ruffled mesh cape, satin ballet flats, a feathered slip dress, and a shimmery, tailored lurex suit. Everything is currently available for preorder and expected to ship in a week or two.
Goodhood x Dr Martens
Retailer Goodhood has teamed up with Dr. Martens to offer a new take on the classic six-eye 101 UB boot. Constructed from vintage smooth leather, the boot features screen-printed graphics and contrasting white thread. Sizes are already selling quickly (the men’s are nearly gone), so if you’re thinking of grabbing them, don’t dillydally.
Avec Drinks x Williams Sonoma
Avec makes “better-for-you” low-sugar cocktail mixers that contain real fruit juice and zero preservatives. The brand has teamed up with Williams-Sonoma on a line of co-branded mixers. There are currently three flavors: yuzu lime, grapefruit pomelo, and ginger pineapple, which is apparently similar to ginger beer, just lighter.
Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett x The Republic of Tea
To further cement your Star Wars obsession, here’s a two-tin gift set of The Book of Boba Fett teas, a tie-in with the new TV show on Disney+. The two flavors — black tea and green tea — are inspired by the characters Fennec Shand and Boba Fett, respectively.
The Home Edit x Walmart
Professional organizers Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin of the Home Edit (of Instagram and Netflix fame) have brought their tidying talents to Walmart. The duo have released a collection of plastic bins meant to hold everything from pantry snacks to beauty products to blocks. If overhauling your kitchen is on your list of New Year’s to-do’s, consider this five-piece set, which includes two large bins, two inserts, and a three-tier riser.
