EDITOR'S NOTE

Not to brag, but our group Slack is a pretty good time. On top of sharing the delusional purchases we made because a friend told us to, we also wondered…what would each of our team members be as inanimate objects? Dropping our spirit products here:

• This strawberry coffee mug. A natural fit for our Senior Social Media Manager. She’s a self-proclaimed coffee shop regular with fond spring memories of strawberry picking in Georgia. Wholesome.

• This beaded bag. It’s reflective of our Senior Affiliate Manager because she has the capacity to hold a ton while looking great, and you’ll want to take her everywhere. She’s here for a good time on a budget.

• This decorative candle warmer. It emulates our editor because it’ll provide some warm energy, and wants to make sure you’ll stay safe. She’s also always here for a solid night in.

• An adorable goose cake topper. Our Commerce Director says it’s a good representation of her inner child, silly and joyous. Her adult self is an effective pimple patch, because she’s a die-hard (sometimes manic) problem solver.

• A bunny night-light for our night-light enthusiast (and proud of it) Senior Writer. She also feels this soft-glow bunny is a perfect representation of what it’s like to be a Pisces moon.

• These Tim Burton-esque salt and pepper mills for our Senior Editor, because she’s a Halloween girl at heart with taste that’s too expensive for her own good.

Yes, we know. It feels like every brand and its mother is having a sale right now. There are a lot to parcel through, but in today’s economy, we can always get behind a sale to help you stock up on basics. Brooklinen’s Friends & Fam Sale ends Sunday. You can save 20% off single items and 50% off bundles. Whether you know someone getting married and want to gift them some plush towels, or you’ve been putting off buying that extra pair of sheets you know you need, be sure to shop the sale while you can.

Three Totally Random Things

Here are three random products we’re loving this week:

• Gorilla Grip Rug Gripper Pads: No joke, this is one of the hackiest products of all time.

• Abercrombie & Fitch High-Rise Loose Jeans: They have the perfect drape, so you can get the baggy denim trend right on the first try.

• Dream Pairs Foldable Ballet Flats: The $22 shoe you can keep in your bag at all times.
