As the holiday season commences (I group Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas together), there are brand new lifestyle products rolled out almost every other day, from body care and tech to housewares and spirits. Brands are looking to get you ready to start shopping for others, but they want to lure you in to gift some awesome items for yourself, too.
Many cool items came into my inbox this month, but I had to narrow it all down for a list of things that I’m most looking forward to putting in my cart (I did get my hands on a couple products already). From 38-year-old blended whisky to comfy, cozy slippers, there’s a little bit of everything there. See what came out this month that’s worth copping for yourself or your faves.
Keep cozy at home with Bombas’s latest release, the super comfy and chic Saturday Slippers. They come in a variety of colors to match your tastes, but the Bright Tomato shade is it, ladies.

People have been loving Issa Rae’s Viarae Prosecco, so much so that she just released a new bottle, trying her hand at Rosé. Flavors are bussin, as usual, and still available at a wallet-friendly price.

The baby brand teamed up with Susan G. Komen to release the Thistle Collection in a soft blush shade of pink. Of course, this was done to raise funds to support the fight against breast cancer. All of the items are quite cute, but I adore a good baby bassinet (I kept my sons in one!). Check out the full collection over at komen.org.

Ok, so it’s an investment. For those who know the great flavor of an aged whisky, this second limited edition offering from Dewar went through a four-stage aging process. It’s getting raved about for its notes of vanilla, dried figs, dark chocolate, and more. A delectable taste for the palate.

Released in time to spook and help you have more fun in the bedroom, Lovers has a Halloween collection, from dildos that look like creatures (if that’s your thing!) to glow-in-the-dark gadgets. The water-based lube, which is made to look like slime, caught my eye. However, Lovers doesn’t recommend using the product on white sheets due to possible staining.
