For this week’s “Don’t DillyDally,” we’ve surfaced a range of new things we’re sure will sell out, including the perfect New Year’s Eve dress courtesy of J.Crew and Anna October, the next big pistachio-flavored condiment, and holiday-party-recovery skin care from Dr. Barbara Sturm and Pressed Juicery.
Vacation
Vacation says its new SPF lip gloss, Chardonnay, is “the Champagne of lip sunscreens,” despite those being two completely different types of wine. A confusing but classy stocking stuffer for any beachy people on your list.
Banza x Dauphinette x PAMPSHADE
Dauphinette has teamed up with Banza (purveyors of chickpea waffles, pasta shapes, and pizza bases) and Pampshade (the Japanese design studio that invented the croissant-shaped lamp) to produce what just might be the perfect kitchen clock.
Gohar World x Palm Heights
Gohar World’s kooky-chic host necklace is getting popular among the downtown set, but you can still stand out from the artsy holiday-party crowd with this tropical riff on the original pearly design. It’s from Gohar World’s new collaboration with Grand Cayman Island boutique-hotel Palm Heights, hence the seashells.
Táche
Táche, the brand that brought us green-plant-based milk, has launched a new pistachio-flavored product. Essentially a cross between pistachio butter and Nutella, it sounds delectable and is understandably sold in a two-pack.
Stetson x Pendleton
Here, two great American heritage brands combine to create a very warm and Wild West blanket. This would make a lovely gift for any cowboys (or suburban Yellowstone fans) that you know.
Our Place x Kin Euphorics
Experts have told us that Kin’s mood-enhancing aperitifs are an excellent purchase for anyone stocking an alcohol-free home bar, and the brand’s new collaboration with Our Place also feels very essential for dinner parties — whatever you’re pouring into the glasses.
Catbird x Phoebe Bridgers
The first drop of Catbird’s collaboration with eternal alt-girl-of-the-moment Phoebe Bridgers sold out immediately, but we’re pleased to announce a restock this week. Act quickly, though — that boygenius SNL gig has made her more popular than ever.
Betsey Johnson x Parade
Comfy punk-rock undies? Right this way. We also like that these are accidentally a little bit Christmasy.
J.Crew x Anna October
If you order right now, one of these dream party dresses from J.Crew and Ukrainian “It” girl designer Anna October could define your whole December.
Fly by Jing x Last Crumb
These treats from Fly by Jing (of chili crisp fame) and hype bakery Last Crumb lead us to believe that salty-sweet cookies are out and spicy-sweet cookies are in.
Dr. Barbara Sturm x Pressed Juicery
This recovery kit is reasonably priced considering the usual expense of Dr. Barbara Sturm’s celebrity-beloved skin-care products and would be ideal to get through a post-office holiday-party hangover.
Topicals
We’ve been into Topicals since Rio wrote about how the brand’s spray helped fade her eczema scars back in 2021. Its latest launch is this vegan and paraben-free lip balm full of peptides and (more important, as far as we’ve concerned) a tingly mint flavor.
