In our semi-regular advice column, “Ask the Strategist,” we answer your most burning shopping questions by surveying friends, calling up experts, and drawing on our personal experience. For this edition, we’re going live (or rather, liveish). On Friday, November 15, writer Dominique Pariso is going to answer your questions live in the comments. All you have to do is ask.
Dom’s speciality is gifts (and more specifically, gifts under $50) — she’s written guides to the best gifts for bird lovers, wine lovers, gifts under $25, and more. She is also our sex-toy writer-in-chief. Drop your comments below, and she’ll reply from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET on Friday. If you’ve never commented on the site before, here’s how: If you have a New York Magazine account, log in and you’re all set. If not, you can create a account (it’s free!) using the “Sign in” link in the comments section. You can also log in with Google or Facebook. See you below the line!
Oh – and should you be in need of an answer right now, here’s our gift guide hub, and here are our stories on the best gifts under $5, gifts under $10, gifts under $25, and gifts under $50.
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.
