For this week’s “Don’t DillyDally,” we’ve surfaced a range of new things we’re sure will sell out, including an ultrarich cream to nourish winter-chapped skin, a color-blocked puffer vest for stylish outdoorsmen, and a tiny mushroom basket for foragers-in-training. They’d also all make great gifts, so if you spot something you like, we suggest you act extra expeditiously this week!
Glow Recipe’s latest drop, the Cloudberry Bright Essence Toner, contains a cocktail of good-for-your-skin ingredients: cloudberry concentrate rich in vitamin C, powerhouse antioxidant CoQ10 to strengthen skin, and rice water to seal in moisture. The beauty brand’s colorful, fruit-forward products have become runaway hits on TikTok, so if you’re still looking for a gift for the tween girl in your life, look no further.
Barrier repair is the buzzword du jour in the skin-care world, and Drunk Elephant is the latest brand to hop on the trend. Those with aging or damaged skin will appreciate this ultrarich moisturizer that encourages your skin to produce collagen, vital lipids, and hyaluronic acid.
Madhappy and Columbia have officially released their third outdoor collection, perfect for bona fide outdoorsy types as well as Bushwick DJs. It features eight styles across a range of silhouettes including puffer vests, cargo trousers, and quilted jackets, in bold color combinations like this sky-blue-and-tangerine orange.
For those looking to spice up their underthings for the holiday season, CUUP has launched its luxe Botanical Lace collection. Some of the brand’s most beloved silhouettes, including the Scoop, the Thong, and the Highwaist, have been given a sexy makeover with black and begonia lace colorways.
Ouai’s newest hair-gloss treatment is designed to revive frizzy, dyed, or otherwise damaged strands. Formulated with sugar beets, hyaluronic acid, rice water, and panthenol to enhance hair strength and shine and protect against fading, it could be a great gift for that friend who’s always popping up with a new hair color.
As a newfound tinned-fish enthusiast, I certainly wouldn’t complain if I found a pack of Siesta Co.’s new tuna-stuffed peppers in my stocking this year. Each tin contains four peppers that are infused with a rich tomato sauce and filled with sumptuously stewed Bonito del Norte white tuna.
Another excellent stocking stuffer: Saltair’s newest lip oil balms are half the price of Rhode’s peptide lip treatment and just as conditioning. Their nourishing ingredients include coconut oil, murumuru, and shea butter, and they come in four understated shades as well as clear.
Though the Barbie collab train has finally slowed down a bit, it hasn’t come to a stop just yet: Homesick, which earlier this year released a Barbie Dreamhouse candle, just came out with a Ken’s Mojo Dojo Casa House candle. Its saloon-inspired scent contains notes of hay, cinnamon, and leather — bound to delight any Barbie fanatics and/or horse girls.
Artist Lorien Stern, known for her fun illustrations of flora and fauna, has expanded her home-goods line to include a collection of rugs. This mini garden menagerie would make a perfect accent for an entryway or kitchen, or a great gift for your most cottagecore friend or family member.
Bedding brand Piglet in Bed just released a very adorable kids’ line, with plenty of sheets printed in gingham and seersucker. The real star of the show, however, is this toadstool mushroom basket that’s perfect for toting small treasures.
Noah’s second collaboration with the Cure includes floral button-downs, striped tees, and screen-printed hoodies, but we think this vaguely creepy eye mask is the most likely to appeal to the eccentric goth-rock lover in your life.
The Strategist is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape. Some of our latest conquests include the best acne treatments, rolling luggage, pillows for side sleepers, natural anxiety remedies, and bath towels. We update links when possible, but note that deals can expire and all prices are subject to change.
