Hi, hi! I hope you had a peaceful, relaxing long holiday weekend and are feeling refreshed. I ate an absurd amount of sweet potato pie so I’m feeling pretty great about life.
That said, can someone also explain the most recent Britney drama to me? Who is she angry at? I need a bullet pointed list of what the heck is going there. I feel like I missed something vital. If you have the info, please advise either by email or in the comments section.
Working on now:
Reader’s Digest: Looking for bestselling, popular & super stylish cozy winter scarves. Ideally they’ll be under $150. Must be from a major .com retailer or a Skimlinks-ready DTC. If you’re pitching Amazon, RD needs at least 500 ratings. Pitch ASAP! Bonus points for brands that are great about social shares <3 bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Family Handyman: Best car carpet cleaners for every type of auto mess. Pitch me your best stain removers for car carpets/rugs/mats! Again, if pitching Amazon we need at least 500+ ratings. Also open to carpet cleaning tools and gear. bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Extra Good: Very excited we’re up to thousands of page views now and oodles of subscribers (always free, btw)! Growing by leaps and bounds! This week I’ll be including Amazon-based gift guides under $20 and under $50 for quick, last-minute shopping. The lists will live both on the Extra Good Substack newsletter + the Extra Good website. Open to all genuinely great gift ideas for the entire fam with these lists & and just ask that your clients are good about social media shares on the finished guides <3 bryce@theluxuryspot.com

So many Kindle options, so hard to choose. I broke down the specs on each for Reader’s Digest in time for you to get one at a steal on Cyber Monday.
The second issue of Extra Good went live! Hooray! Brimming with goodies. If you haven’t already subscribed, please do <3 Also, if you’re a publicist in need of urgent coverage for a product, place or story that appeals to women, holler. I’ll do my best to support your work there.
Black Friday coverage for Family Handyman.
Outdoor fire pit accessories for Family Handyman.
The best day dates in Delray Beach, Florida for Newsbreak (have plenty more travel coverage + hotel reviews coming there if you feel inclined to pitch!).
For Affiliate Tribe members, if you didn’t already check out last week’s beginner guide to editorial SEO—please do! It’s important, and I’ll continue to build on it this week and next <3
Jobs:
Citi needs a communications lead. Must have finance/banking PR experience.
Musings:
Thought you all might like a smile. The news of this rescue dog did it for me.
We’re still just in the morning hours and Amazon has already posted its best Cyber Monday EVER. That’s fascinating. And wild. And encouraging.
My two younger boys share a bedroom. I bought a BUNCH of these GAP sheets on Black Friday (they’re actually even cheaper now for CM) and they arrived literally the next day. Happy to report they’re even better quality than expected. Their bunk beds look super cute and all matchy-matchy with the blue and white rugs/curtains they already had.
That’s it for now! Finishing up loads of last minute holiday content and moving into January, so expect extra emails and queries from me this week. May your day be as delightful and flexible as a pair of elastic pants. <3
When it comes to celeb stuff like this, I just wait for the next Comments by Celebs podcast to help me navigate, haha.
