There are a ton of great products that drop every week — and we’re here, as always, to keep you up to date on the best of them. Each week, we’ll be rounding up a short list of our favorite product drops from the last seven days for you to shop as you sip your morning coffee or take a quick break from work (trust, it’s the only list you need for staying up to date on these things).
This week brings Halfday’s new weekender, Cabeau’s genius seat cushion for economy-class flying, a new pet grooming collection from Paul Mitchell and more.
Halfday Travel Double-Decker Weekender
The ideal personal item for quick summer getaways
Halfday Travel’s stylish luggage line just got a new addition with the launch of its $98 Double-Decker Weekender. It fits enough clothing for a long weekend and has a clever bottom compartment for shoes and dirty laundry. We also love that when you’re home, it’ll fold flat so you can store it easily. The bag comes in Jet, Dune and Coast to perfectly coordinate with your favorite travel-day outfit.
Cabeau Evolution Cushion
A inflatable cushion for awful airline seats
Airline seats aren’t known for being super comfortable in economy class, especially if you’re on a long-haul flight. Cabeau, maker of our favorite travel pillow, has just lent its ergonomic design expertise to our bottom half with its new $30 inflatable Evolution Cushion. Not only does it make your flight a heck of a lot more comfy but it helps align your spin, reduce pressure and give your posture a boost. It has single-breath inflation with the ability to adjust, plus it’s made to work with any seat. P.S. It’s great for this season’s soccer games and your office’s questionable chairs too.
Otterbox Symmetry Series Cactus Leather
Vegan leather cases made from nopal
Maybe you know nopal cacti from delicious tacos, but it turns out, the leather made from the plant also makes for a darn good phone case. Enter the new OtterBox Symmetry Series cases and Apple Watch bands in cactus leather. Both are fabricated from Desserto, a material made from nopal cactus. The resulting phone case, which sells for $60, is MagSafe compatible for easy charging on the go. The Apple Watch band goes for $40 and is breathable for all-day comfort. Both come in four earthy colors: black, dark brown, forest green and a dusky violet.
The North Face Lightrange
UPF-protective clothing for sun-filled days out
Summer’s strong rays don’t just merit SPF on the face and body but a little extra protection from your clothes as well, especially if you’re going to be spending the whole day out in the sun. For that, there’s The North Face’s new Lightrange clothing collection, which features a brand-new technology that bestows clothing with UV protection ratings above UPF 40+. It’s also given the seal of approval by the Skin Cancer Foundation.
Canopy Filtered Showerhead
A sleek showerhead for great hair from the start
Summer can be especially hard on our hair, between muggy pollution, sun damage, chlorine and hard water. Give it a head start with Canopy’s new $150 showerhead, which features a tri-media filter to get out the baddies that affect your hair and scalp health. Plus, it comes with a scalp massager attachment that helps to deep-clean. You’ll also get a little aromatherapy hit with an included aroma and diffuser. Choose from four finishes to complement your bathroom, including Matte Black and Polished Chrome. Best of all, it’s likely compatible with your existing showerhead and doesn’t need any tools for installation.
Ruggable x ‘Bridgerton’
Washable rugs with a romantic Regency aesthetic
Ruggable has been having a season of strong collabs so far, and now it’s just dropped a sequel to its first “Bridgerton” collaboration earlier this year, this time in honor of the show’s third season. It features four new patterns (think powdery blues and blush pinks, plus plenty of airy florals) to go with the other styles that start at $129. Plus, there’s a Memorial Day sale happening right now, making it an extra-great time to shop.
Hoka x WTAPS
Streetstyle sneakers and slides
Stanley Quencher H2.0 FlowState in Matcha Cream
Sneakers and slides are sort of our shoe uniform in the summer, and here to catch our attention with two different launches is Hoka’s new limited-edition collab with Tokyo-based label WTAPS. For this drop, Hoka’s $190 Anacapa GTX day hiker and $90 Ora Luxe slide get a streetwear twist in the signature black and drab olive tones synonymous with WTAPS.
A cool green-and-white Stanley colorway for refreshing sips
Stanley’s Quencher H2.0 FlowState Tumbler is one of TikTok’s most viral water vessels, and it’s just debuted in a new color to match the new season: Matcha Cream. The cool green is topped by a white lid and straw to add a little freshness to your hydration. It’s available in four sizes: 40 ounces, 30 ounces, 20 ounces and 14 ounces.
Hill House Artist’s Edition Capsule
A dreamy summer collection of nap dresses and more
Languid summer days make us want to lounge the day away in something that requires minimal effort but makes us feel a little more romantic than our sticky selves actually are. And for that comes Hill House Home’s Artist’s Edition Capsule, featuring a trio of prints from British-based artists that boast on-brand motifs like little bows, botanicals and more. Choose your favorite nap dress style from one of the three excellent options: Diane Hill’s Blue Chinoiserie, Susannah Garrod’s Veggie Botanical and F. Steiner & Co. Archive’s Eucalyptus Floral.
Paul Mitchell Pet Collection
Top-tier grooming products for your pet
Paul Mitchell might be famous for his human hair care, but pets can get in on the premium grooming action now too with the launch of the brand’s first pet-focused products. The collection includes shampoos and conditioners, plus leave-in sprays and a no-rinse wash for pets who can’t stand still long enough to get the suds out. The formulas and scents are as good as the human line too: Think, Soothing Oatmeal, Nourishing Awapuhi and Calming Lavender Mint. The launch also includes products like Bug Away Spray, Super-Bright Shampoo, and Tear-Free Shampoo.
Ikea Outdoor Collection
Everything you need for a summer-ready Scandi patio
Ikea is a go-to when it comes to affordable home refreshes, and the new outdoor collection from the brand features a ton of great practical and pretty options to give your alfresco space a lift, like the super-practical $35 Solvinden LED Floor Lamp, entertaining-ready $119 Bröggan Serving Cart and the clean-lined $120 Fålskär Coffee Table.
Lovesac PillowSac Accent Chair
A super-comfy perch for reading and gathering
Lovesac’s grown-up beanbag furniture just got an accent piece added to its collection: a luxe PillowSac. The oversized accent chair features a pillow-like cushion mounted on a stylish, midcentury-minded wooden frame. It’s a piece that’s all about comfort and lounging without sacrificing clean good looks. Price varies depending on customization (what kind of frame you go for and so on), but Lovesac is having a 30%-off sale in honor of Memorial Day, making it a great time to snag the chair for way less.
