The sun came out because it’s already tomorrow and I’m in the best mood because after 2.5 days of rain, I can finally go for the lil’ jog I love so much. That also means I’m going to close my computer a bit before the sun goes down today (so I can fit said jog into my schedule), and need to hit all the below points before that.
Working on now/need pitches:
Family Handyman: I need a hot tub expert to talk about hot tub maintenance, etc. This one is easy peasy and quick turnaround. Can send you simple ?s very fast! bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Reader’s Digest: Best gifts that give back. Ideally, we’d love to stay under $300 on this one, and yes—we need skimlinks-ready DTC or major retailers. Soooo a gift bundle of gorgeous hair ties on Nordstrom.com that gives 10% of proceeds to fighting children’s hunger? Sweet. Coffee gifts that support healthy drinking water? Love it! You get the idea. These gifts can be for anyone on your list, but the affiliate thing and the give-back thing = MUSTS. Something to note: I won’t publish anything political. If your pitch is “our pens give 30% of proceeds to this election campaign” or a government-organized fund, I won’t be able to use it. This guide is for the real people who love supporting real people. bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Reader’s Digest: This year’s hottest wish list toys for Christmas. Seriously, they need to be top sellers, best new releases, bonkers-level demand etc. bryce@theluxuryspot.com

Going to publish a comprehensive list tomorrow or the next day, but it’s a LOT… if you saw your brand’s name pop up in Google alerts, we’d love social media shares. F’real, they mean the world to both the mag titles and me personally.
Jobs:
Neiman Marcus needs a new PR director. You’d also be in charge of events.
H&M needs a senior fashion PR lead. New York-based.
IMAX needs a VP of PR. LA-based.
Musings:
Do y’all want to talk about how AWIN/SAS is reaching into the influencer world? If so, lemme know and I can make it a bigger topic for tomorrow.
Had a lovely chat with the gals from RED PR + their publicist colleagues last week on the ever-evolving commerce writing landscape. This is just a public thanks to them for being delights.
I hosted a DIY sushi making party for my oldest daughter and her friends from school to celebrate her 10th birthday and just want everyone to know this: best party idea I’ve had in forever. The kids were so happy they started texting their parents to come join, and before you know it I had 25 people on my patio rolling out fresh tuna and salmon tataki. Anywho, seriously recommend for anyone trying to figure out a theme for their next party.
Also, a quick thank you to everyone who submitted their productivity hacks and tips in Sharing Opps — I’ll publish the master list here in the next day or two!
Till tomorrow, bubbeleh <3
Def want to hear more about Awin/ShareASale/influencers!
