Cold winter weather is officially here. Why not warm (and cheer) yourself up by getting a new mug to enjoy sipping warm bevs out of while you’re cozied up under a blanket? Better yet—a mug with a QR code that takes you to an exclusive daily horoscope reading in collab with the AstroTwins. Shop that and more of my favorite clever picks for this week (like the most adorable interactive Valentine’s Day toy for your pup), below!
A Horoscope Mug for Daily Readings
What’s better than enjoying your morning coffee? Enjoying your morning coffee while reading your daily horoscope! This cute mug features an illustration of your astrological sign, as well as a QR code to scan for your reading of the day. P.S.: this was developed as an exclusive collab with the fan-fave duo the AstroTwins!
An Interactive Valentine’s Day Treat for Your Pup

Because your dog deserves some Valentine’s Day love, too! This adorable plush bouquet holds a secret: unroll the flowers and you’ll find little pockets to hold treats. Roll ’em back up and it becomes a snuffle toy that will keep your fur baby occupied and happy. It also crinkles for ultimate pup satisfaction. Cute!
A Do-It-All Magnetic Phone Mount

Not only does this handy MagSafe phone mount keep your phone in place while you’re creating content or on a call, but it also has a second magnet on the opposite side so that you can mount your phone to your tablet or laptop for a dual-screen experience. This keeps your eyes level with your computer screen so you can be more efficient while working instead of looking down at your phone every few minutes (admit it, we all do it!).
A Pot for Your Fourth Burner

Crowded stovetop got you down? I get it. When you’re trying to utilize all of those burners but the pans and Dutch ovens aren’t exactly fitting on the stove, things can get stressful/messy/annoying. Enter: this genius pot. It’s slim but tall, so it can hold a larger volume than, say, a small saucepan. Because it’s taller than most standard pots and pans, it’s easier to reach if it’s on a back burner, and it has a removable basket so you can even deep-fry french fries or steam broccoli.
An Expandable, Customizable Suitcase

While it may be an investment, Roam’s luggage is truly top-of-the-line. Not only are these suitcases expandable and lightweight, but they also come with easy-gliding 360 wheels and are totally customizable. Choose the front color, back color, zipper, lining, and trim to suit your personality and style (you can also get a monogram). Personally, I love a good “design-your-own” product moment, especially for something I know I’ll be using for years, so naturally, I had to try one for myself. Having tested many suitcases over the years, I can say this one is just as sturdy and easy to use as the site claims. Plus, it’s practical but also pretty. A win-win-win!
A Comb to De-Pill Your Sweaters

While I love my electric de-piller, sometimes the battery is out or I have a smaller job and need a quick fix (like the other day when I was headed out the door and noticed that my wool camel coat had decided to pill under the arms). Instead of reaching for my electric fabric shaver, I used this cute little comb. It works wonders on many fabrics, especially knits. I recently used it on a favorite cashmere sweater, and it not only worked like a dream, but it also left my beloved piece somehow softer (and took less than 5 minutes). It’s a smart thing to keep in your purse if you’re like me and will go through a whole day preoccupied with pilling on something you’re wearing!
