EDITOR'S NOTE

You know that one product that makes your day infinitely better? For me, it’s this tank top-friendly bra from Natori. It provides support but is so comfortable to wear that I forget it’s on.

In honor of those singular products doing the most, we’re here to celebrate Tiny Upgrades Week. Our editors are sharing the items making a huge difference, spanning wardrobe, routine, home, and beauty. While you’re at it, fill out the form above to tell us about the products upgrading your everyday experience.

Adulting is realizing that you can actually make really good beverages at home. Buy these essentials now to save you money in the long run:

• A rechargeable milk frother for cafe quality in seconds. Our editor also loves this larger version.

• These delicious, flash-frozen coffee pods.

• A compact cold brew maker.

• And for our tea drinkers: this resin matcha whisk, along with our editor’s favorite matcha powder.

Today’s Must-Haves

Here are three of the hottest products on the internet this week:

• Gap Waffle Baby T-Shirt: A textured, yet cool upgrade to a classic T-shirt. Did we mention it’s on sale for $8?

• Medik8 Bakuchiol Peptides: A retinol alternative that’ll plump fine lines.

• Quince Italian Leather Mini Barrel Shoulder Bag: It’s official. Quince has a dupe for The Row’s 90’s Bag.

Take Note

Tiny Upgrades Week

This one goes out to all the products that make life that much easier (especially in 2026).

• For wardrobe: seamless, undetectable briefs if you hate thongs.

• For routine: space-saving weights that aren’t an eyesore.

• For beauty: the best solution for bumpy skin.

• For home: drugstore hand soap that smells like Le Labo.
