What Strategist Readers Bought and Saved This Month: Fish Clips and Earplugs
Welcome back to “Your Shopping Cart,” where we break out the top products that you, devoted Strategist readers, bought in droves. Think of this as the TL;DR of the Strategist. If your like-minded brethren are buying these items, maybe you’d like to as well.
The most-purchased items this month
November was a big ol’ sales month, with the action beginning well ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Most of our top sellers were purchased at a discount, including Apple’s AirPods 4 earbuds, which over the holiday weekend were marked down to their lowest price ever: $85. Snail mucin and silk pillowcases also proved popular, alongside the bendy piece of foam that I use to prop up my phone screen on planes. And magnesium sleep spray continued to fly off the digital shelves.

The most-saved items this month
Here, the products become a little less practical. Many saved products were clearly potential gifts: fish-shaped clips, fluffy Brooklinen robes, jars of jalapeño chili crisp. I’d be happy to receive any of these items. (For more ideas, check out all of our gift guides right here.)

Writer Arielle Avila recommended Mate’s T-shirt to a reader who found the Brando T-shirt from Agnès B to be too long in the torso. It is shorter but not too short, nor too boxy.
