We’re Giving Away All 10 Products That Defined the Strategist
This year, the Strategist turns ten. That’s ten years of obsessively shopping the internet to find the best, most worth-it, and most stood-behind products for our readers. And also ten years of uncovering the little doodads you never knew you needed before learning about them on our site.
To celebrate this past decade, we’ve put together a list of the top-ten products that have defined the Strategist: the Amazon Coat we discovered all the way back in 2018, the many fugly shoes our readers can’t stop buying, the snail mucin that Rio Viera-Newton wrote about in her skin-care Google doc before K-beauty was really a thing, and so much more. Each one was chosen because it represents an important moment for our site and also an important moment in online-shopping history — which for us go hand in hand.
The winner will receive:
• Your choice of one of the following: Charleston Shoe Co. Monterey Sandals, Merrell Moab Retro Slide 1TRL, Arcopedico Sec V, or Teva Voya Infinity
• YogaToes
• A four-pack of Renova fuchsia paper towels
• Salt Lab magnesium oil spray
