Alex Mill brazenly calls it The Perfect Tote, but it really is the perfect tote. It comes in several sizes and many colors, but The Perfect Weekend Tote is our favorite, hitting that just-right spot for an overnight. It has both hand and shoulder straps (the latter can hide in the bag when not in use) and the length of the shoulder straps is spot on. We appreciate its snaps, which let you easily adjust the size of the bag. The Perfect Weekend Tote is made from 100% cotton and measures 13″ tall, 17″ wide and 9.5″ deep. The optional monogram is a chic touch, and is a $60 upgrade (it also takes 3-5 weeks).

Craighill’s colorful Chroma Scissors bring function alongside colorful design, with ceramic coated blades and vinyl-dipped handles. More than a casual pair, they are cast in stainless steel and feature a circular hinge mechanism for smooth and easy performance. Available in multiple styles / colors, including a pair without ceramic coating. It’s an easy way to add some color and fun to an otherwise basic product. The full-size scissors are 7 oz and 8.5″ x 3″ x 0.5″.

We’d write more about things to make your cat happy if we saw more that we liked. Fortunately we met the founder of Catenary today who shared their Orbit Window Hammock with us. A sleek polished iron ring circles a ledge your cat will enjoy perching upon that’s perfect for watching out the window, napping and staring at you thankfully appreciative of their new lair. The Orbit supports cats up to 30 lbs, and its mat is removable for easy washing.

UNDONE started its line of non-alcoholic spirits in 2019, helping to bring a new generation of dealcoholized products to bars and markets. Today their portfolio lacks little, offering spirits, aperitifs, liquers, sparking wine, canned cocktails that taste more similar to their alcoholic counterparts than botanical spirits. They’ve been a prominent feature at CH HQ this summer, where we’ve explored making many different cocktails and tasty sips that keep us on deadlines. They have just about everything you need to easily make the classics—from a Smoky Paloma to a Vesper to a range of sprtizes. What we appreciate most is the range and depth of flavors providing endless opportunities for your NA enjoyment. Products range from $15-25, with many options for kits, sets and mixers.
