Hello, hello! Happy Friday! First, I want to thank everyone who took the time to read yesterday’s longer-than-usual consumer trends breakdown email. It was a lot for me to write (and honestly a crapload of data to sift through), so if you made the most of it HOORAY!
Now, because time is our most precious resource and it’s Friday afternoon, let’s skedaddlypoo straight to work things. I’m giving everyone a headstart on Monday’s content requests (because by then I’ll have even more OMG).
Working on now/this weekend/early Monday
Taste of Home: Cute Coffee Mugs to Perk Up Your Daily Brew. We’re rounding up the cutest/best/most design-forward coffee mugs from major retailers and skimlinks-ready DTC sites. A handful will be called in for a social promote image. Soooo good retailers to pitch include Etsy, Amazon, Walmart, Target, Nordstrom, Wayfair, Overstock, Crate & Barrel, etc. Pitch by EOD Monday! bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Taste of Home: Still working on this story for at-home baristas and need more functional items like cold brewers, milk frothers, things that help people make foam art, coffee toppings, etc. You know the drill with affiliates! bryce@theluxursypot.com

If you’re vertically challenged these step stools will help you reach all the top-shelf drinks you deserve.
You should be sleeping on one of the best memory foam mattresses. Sheet, they’re so damn good.
Jobs:
Can we be work besties? I hope so, bc TMB needs a new social media manager. You’d be the total Twitter boss of all my articles and everyone else’s too.
Musings:
Asking for insights from the hive: any of y’all have solar panels? Have they offset all your energy costs? Or most? Are you in a northern climate? I posted my energy bill to FB yesterday (I assume it HAS to be wrong, but Central Hudson says it’s legit which makes my skin crawl). Anywho, now all I want out of my life is a collection of solar panels. If you have them, please tell me everything and all your thoughts.
OMG Stripe just integrated Crypto into their system, including the $algo token I love so dearly. Fellow substackers, this is MAJE FOR US. Blessings and whatnot.
HAVE THE BEST WEEKEND!!! Till Monday, friends.
