Deals I personally think are the best

Father’s Day is right around the corner (Sunday, June 21), andEmber’s self-warming mugmakes a great gift. And I’ll be stocking up on these colorful storage crates from Hay — I own at least half a dozen already but always welcome more.

Ozlo Sleepbuds
Lena Dunhamlearned about these high-tech sleep earbuds fromSusan Orleanin our “What I Can’t Live Without” column. “She was describing my exact situation, which is that she goes to bed listening to true crime — which is something some of us do, and we can’t be ashamed of that — and she was losing an earbud or getting tangled in her wired headphones,” Dunham told us. In comparison, these stay in and, perhaps most important, can also tell when you have fallen asleep and switch from true crime to white noise.
