 Hello again! It's been like, almost exactly one year since my last one of these, so let me re-introduce myself!
I'm a senior shopping editor here at BuzzFeed and (as the job pretty much requires) I love trying new products but can be VERY picky about what I actually like. There's only so much room in my NYC apartment! So rest assured, my picks are tried-and-true and worth it, IMO. Outside the shopping world, you can find me celebrating post-vax life: traveling to new places with people I love (the pic's from a there-are-no-words-to-describe-the-natural-beauty hike in Kauai), enjoying every bite of dinners out because this city has so many incredible restaurants and it's an excuse to spend fun times with friends, or watching good TV and movies (currently obsessed with Dune — which we saw in! a! movie! theater!! — and Friday Night Lights) and playing Mario Kart with my boyfriend. Oh and playing Spiritfarer and reading various genres of novels when I can squeeze 'em in!!  Image: Natalie Brown WHAT I'M LOVING NOW
 If you wash your face over a sink at least once daily (I do it twice), you know that it's basically impossible to stop the soapy water from dripping all over your arms, the counter, and sometimes even the floor, soaking whatever clothes you have on your arms in the process. These genuinely genius cuffs stop that entirely! Now I slip them on, they catch the drips, my face is clean, my clothes and sink counter stay dry, and they air-dry on the counter for the next time. I never go without them!!  This is my favorite piece of furniture that didn't come from a flea market. It's GORGEOUS *and* incredibly functional — just LOOK at how it fits all my gift wrap, candles, office supplies I bought because I thought I'd need them in college but still have not used up, electronics I use but not everyday, contacts I don't have space in the bathroom for, and random art supplies. Yes, those are photos that I like but don't have space to keep like, out out. And when you close the door, everything just looks neat! (P.S. Google "Sindoori Mango" for other furniture in this finish!)
 Real talk: We are less than a month out from December 25th. And unless you've been living under a rock, I'm sure you've seen the headlines of the looming supply chain crises, shipping delays, and more! All that pressure might leave you feeling less "Ho ho ho!" and more "Bah hambug!" as you browse through the endless gift guides littering the internet.
But fret not! We've curated a selection of gift guides specifically for you to shop early and online this holiday season.
 Okay. Y'all. I'm obsessed with this sauce. If you can't get enough of that tongue-numbing umami-packed savory heat from your local Sichuan place (I certainly can't), you're going to LOVE it when you upgrade your grocery store frozen-aisle potstickers with a nice drizzle of this hot-but-not-too-spicy chili crisp (from a woman-owned small biz!). Just wait until you try it on leftover pizza. And grilled chicken. And — next on my list to try — apparently ice cream. I'm salivating just thinking about it.  During that Kauai trip, we stumbled into a shop in Kilauea full of products from local Hawaiian businesses and artists (I can't find a website if they have one, sorry!). And when I smelled this lotion's lightly sweet and, well, nutty coconut scent, I immediately bought it. I like to slather it on my hands every night before bed so I can fall asleep with memories of the trip and that cozy fragrance, then wake up with super soft hands! (Looks like you can only get larger bottles on the Ua website, but I promise it's worth it!)
