October went by in a blur. Maybe it was the earlier sunsets, the chill in the air, or the parade of sweaters and jackets we pulled from the back of our closets. Still, we weren’t too distracted to notice that the month came and went — oh, that and there was a wave of really great lifestyle product launches.
Brands seem to be catching the holiday spirit early, giving us sneak peeks at the drops they’re lining up for gifting season, whether you’re shopping ahead for others or treating yourself to a little cheer amid everything happening in the world. And the new releases cover the full lifestyle spectrum: fitness gear, waterproof backpacks and boots, stylish diaper bags, indulgent body washes, clever gadgets, and drinkware with plenty of personality; whether you’re sipping an energizing hot chocolate or just trying to stay hydrated.
I’ve been keeping an eye out and pulled together a few standout finds. These are the things I’d happily add to my own cart, and that you just might want to, too.
