St. Frank Iridescent Smoke Drinking Glass

"I refuse to drink wine from glasses with stems at home because I spill too easily. These chic little tumblers spoke to me immediately as the answer to my clumsiness. I own two sets of four, and I love the way my red wine looks within these smokey little glasses." —Mélanie Berliet, general manager

Mustard Throw Blanket

"I love a good lightweight throw in the summertime, perfect to toss in a tote for a picnic in the park, or cuddle up with on the couch when the AC gets a bit too chilly (anything higher than 65 degrees is too hot). I have a similar blanket from Aerie to this one (different color and pattern) that has been a staple all July long." —Emily Manchester, editorial and strategy director

Colorblock Notebook

"I'm old school when it comes to organization. I much prefer to be analog and write everything down than keep notes on my computer. I totally rely on this lined notebook from stationery brand, Papier, to stay organized during the workweek. It's the cutest desk accessory—it comes with a ribbon to keep your place plus the hardback cover can be personalized. I've gotten endless compliments on mine (I have the light pink and gold colorway) and already secured another (in the light and dark blue colorway) so I'll be prepared when this one is filled. Plus, carrying one of these into a work meeting totally makes me feel put together, even if I rushed out the door in the morning." —Caroline Utz, editor

Preserved Natural Gypsophila

"Ever wonder how designers make a room feel totally pulled together? It all comes down to the final details and styling. Thankfully, Leigh Lincoln and Aly Morford of Pure Salt Interiors dedicated an entire section of their online Pure Salt Shoppe to styling, and it's a one-stop-shop for nailing their laidback, California-cool aesthetic. I'm a big fan of their dried floral section—I've kept a bunch of this preserved Gypsophila on my nightstand in a ceramic vase, and I've loved the way it makes my room feel a touch more elevated than it was before." —Caroline Utz, editor

Start Pickin' Raised Bed Grow Box

"I am enjoying the last of my summer gardening here in Jersey, and this grow box has been one of my favorite mediums for growing herbs. I have it situated right on my deck for easy access while I'm cooking dinner. The herb garden looks so great in this, and it waters from the bottom up to ensure your roots are hydrated." —Mia Ingui, associate editor

Casaluna Waffle Bath Towel

"I aim for my bathroom to feel spa-inspired, and while these towels fit the bill, they don't break the bank. The thick waffled texture adds luxury by both appearance and touch, and I chose white as a crisp way to brighten the space in general. They make me happy every time I enter the room!" —Amy Cooper, visual editor

White Selkirk Solid Wood Adirondack Chair

"We bought 2 of these to put around our fire pit. I've always loved the style and comfort of Adirondack style chairs They were quick and easy to assemble and seem very sturdy. We liked them so much that we have now ordered the matching bench as well." —Margot Cavin, photo producer,The Spruce

Carlo Mid-Century Chair

"I've been looking for a new accent chair for my living room for almost a year. I wanted something that was going to be classic but make a statement, and that would be comfortable for reading and lounging. I finally settled on this chair from West Elm—it goes with the mid-century modern vibe of the rest of my decor and it's super comfortable, and the green velvet is stunning. I feel like I've invested in a piece that's going to last for years." —Kate McKenna, editor, The Spruce

Campfire + Fir

"I spent a weekend in the Catskills this month and purchased this candle. The smell makes me feel like I never left. It's the perfect blend of classic fir with a hint of smoky campfire. I light it when I want to feel like I've escaped the city!" —Emma Glubiak, social media editor,The Spruce

Casper Mattress Topper

"I just returned from a (wonderful!) vacation where, though our rental was delightful, the beds were hard as rocks. Coming home to my amazingly plush, supportive mattress topper from Casper helped take away some of the sting of my vacation ending—and gave me a great, vacation-worthy night's sleep my first night back." —Lauren Phillips, lifestyle editor,The Spruce

Mirror with rattan frame.

"I've been wanting a rattan mirror for a while now but didn't want to shell out a ton of money. I found this super cute sunburst style at H&M; it's well-made, affordable, and exactly what I've been looking for." —Candace Madonna, visual editor, The Spruce

Cotton Hand Towel

"I recently upgraded my bathroom with a few of these super-soft (and super affordable!) hand towels from H&M. They're great quality, look really good, and are actually absorbent—plus they come in a nice range of colors (I have the Dark Gray ones)." —Nicole Lund, commerce editor

Black Albritton Platform Bed

"I've been on the hunt for a platform bed that's stylish, inexpensive, and tall enough to fit my biggest suitcase underneath. I finally found that perfect combo in this bed from Wayfair, which is sleek, affordable, and tall enough to fit everything that doesn't fit in my closet. I cannot recommend it enough!" —Nicole Lund, commerce editor

Buckwheat Pillow

"As a side sleeper who tends to carry a lot of stress in my neck, a quality pillow is a must. But I didn't realize how much of a difference it could make until I tried Hullo's buckwheat pillow. Filled with über-breathable buckwheat hulls, it's designed to promote better sleep posture by supporting the space beneath your neck. I've noticed such a difference in my sleep already, and it's only been a few days!" —Lily Sperry, commerce editor,The Spruce

Ultra-Thin Electrical Outlet Cover

"It's no doubt that (visible) cords are a nuisance, and I've been looking for a solution for the setup next to my bed for some time. With its thin, wall-hugging design, this 2-in-1 outlet cover and power strip is a pretty simple fix that's made a big impact. Its white cover blends almost seamlessly into my walls, and the included cord management kit is a plus." —Lily Sperry, commerce editor,The Spruce
