Frontgate Resort Collection Bath Towel
The plushest, warmest, and thickest option we’ve ever tested, this towel offers a luxury-hotel experience in the comfort of your own bathroom. It’s available in a wider variety of colors than any other we’ve found, and it holds up for years and feels fuller and more plush with each wash.
Other things to know: If you prefer thinner towels, this isn’t the pick for you. Bulkier to store and wash. Use code WCFEB25 to get the deal price and free shipping (remove any existing discount code to apply this one for a better price).

Onsen Waffle Bath Towel (two-piece set and six-piece bundle)
Not only are these waffle knit towels softer and smoother than any terry option we’ve tested, but they dry faster, too. They’re lightweight and durable, with an upscale, minimalist aesthetic that will complement nearly any bathroom decor.
Other things to know: Since waffle-weaves are stretchier, they can look a little misshapen after a while. They’re also more prone to snags. Relatively expensive, but a fraction of the price of similar lattice towels imported from Japan. Texture might not be for everyone. Use code WCSWSET to get the deal price for the two-towel set. Use code WCSWBUNDLE to get the deal price for the six-piece set of two bath towels, two hand towels, and two face towels.

Loftie Alarm Clock
If you prefer a gentler wake-up call, this smart-ish digital alarm clock is the least-jarring model we tested, with its selection of ambient music and nature sounds. To help you relax and fall asleep, it’s flush with thoughtful features, such as Bluetooth-speaker functionality, Spotify connectivity, and an adjustable night-light hidden at the base.
Other things to know: Expensive for an alarm clock, though this deal helps. The numerical display is legible up close, but it’s slightly dimmer when viewed off-center. Not the brightest, and there’s no option to increase the display size for nearsighted people. Use code WCLOFTIECLOCK to get the deal price on all colors except red.

Loftie Lamp
Offering a modern twist on a classic silhouette, this chic bedside lamp boasts seemingly endless single- and gradient-color combinations. It also doubles as a sunrise alarm clock and allows you to schedule bedtime reminders.
Other things to know: App can be a little clunky. You can get similar features for less by using a smart bulb with most lamps. 60-day return policy, but there’s an $8 shipping fee and 10% restocking fee on returns. One-year warranty. Use code WCLOFTIELAMP to get the deal price for the white color.

Baloo Weighted Blanket (queen, 15 pounds)
Cozy up in the comfort of this well-balanced and crisp weighted blanket, which feels like a cross between a quilt and a comforter. With sturdy, close stitching, it has an overall better quality than similarly affordable options, and it can even go in the washer and dryer.
Other things to know: The cotton batting prevents the weight from enveloping you as closely as with blankets lacking such filler. Compared with knit-style options, it can feel less breathable and even hot. Lifetime guarantee on materials and workmanship. Deal price is for the full/queen size.

Riley Four Layer Throw
When it’s too sweltering to sleep under a thicker throw, this breezy cotton blanket just might do the trick. It’s one of the lightest throws we recommend, with a pleasant crinkly texture that feels cool on the skin.
Other things to know: Listed size is 70 by 50 inches, but our test sample measured 78 by 58 inches out of the package. Use code WCSLEEP30 to get the deal price with free shipping.

Chasing Paper Wallpaper
With the most textile-like feel of the removable wallpapers we tested, this lightweight, fabric-based option is easy to install and restick. You have a decent range of styles and color palettes to choose from, and all come in the same crisp print quality, with a tactile, woven finish.
Other things to know: Adhesive is quite sticky and material is notably thin, so it can get floppy and increase the risk of the panel’s sticking to itself. Lighter-colored wallpapers may appear more muted when installed on dark-colored walls. More limited selection. No returns; exchanges “for any items that are not completely satisfactory” within 14 days. Use codes WIRECUTTER20 and FREESHIP to get 20% off your purchase, plus free shipping. Example deal pricing is for the Cleo Stripe Vertical wallpaper (2 by 12 feet, peel-and-stick).

Revival Rugs
Made of 100% organic cotton, these quality flatweave rugs come in neutral and geometric patterns and can be machine-washed and hung to dry. We recommend opting for the premium rug pad with your purchase to make it softer underfoot and keep it in place.
Other things to know: Best for dining rooms, living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and kids’ rooms. We originally stopped recommending this rug as a pick due to availability issues, but some stock is still available. A nice opportunity to save 25% on Revival washable rugs in two different styles and a couple of color options. Use code WCTIDY25; deal price varies depending on your selection.

Nearly Natural 54″ Fiddle Leaf Artificial Tree
Putting the “faux” in “fauxliage,” this artificial tree is just full and detailed enough to resemble the waxy look of a real plant. Much like real fiddle leaves, the tops have a shiny finish that makes them look realistic from as little as a foot away—especially with light streaming through them.
Other things to know: The underside of the leaves looks completely flat and artificial. “Real touch” claim seems to refer to the “real” feel of a child’s inflatable raft, rather than that of a tropical leaf. Likely made of plastic and polyester, not silk. Free shipping.

Roborock Q5 Max+ robot vacuum
This quiet, speedy robovac is equipped with lidar and sensors to avoid hurdles, allowing it to course-correct more quickly and accurately than others. As a result, it cleans better than any others we’ve tested at its price, and its self-emptying bin actually works.
Other things to know: User-friendly app stores up to four maps and allows for spot-cleaning. The charging station empties debris into a disposable bag. Like almost all bots we’ve tested, it struggles with debris near thresholds and baseboards. Standard one-year warranty, but few replacement parts. Use code RRSAP20241122045238IGQUD.

Fancii Vera + Lara lighted makeup mirror
The perfect addition to any vanity, this mirror delivers a superb blend of functionality and looks, and it has a long-lasting rechargeable battery, to boot. It’s highly adjustable, offering three dimmable light temperatures, two magnification views, and both a standard reflection and a magnifying attachment.
Other things to know: It’s not cheap, even on sale. Doesn’t come with a wall charger, just a cable, but it’s compatible with most USB-A wall chargers. Requires some assembly. Shuts off automatically after 30 minutes. Deal price reflects in cart; some finishes are out of stock.

Vornado Silver Swan Vintage (Brushed Nickel)
If looking cool is as important to you as staying cool, this handsome metal fan is here to make a statement. It’s even more powerful than our top pick, with an oscillating base to help spread the breeze around. No squeaky fan noise, brooding detective, or fedora included—sorry!
Other things to know: Sure, it may not be in season, but this excellent fan doesn’t drop this low very often, so now is a great opportunity to save ahead of warm weather. More energy-intensive on its highest setting than our top pick, but ultimately it doesn’t add that much to your electric bill. Emits a sort of propeller-like whine on its highest setting. Use promo code SAVE10.

Monos Carry-On Plus Luggage
This carry-on is a solid, nearly identical substitute for our top pick, the Away suitcase. Both offer YKK zippers, lifetime warranties, and almost identical handles and interiors. Monos hides the stitching where the zipper meets its polycarbonate frame—a nice aesthetic touch.
Other things to know: With this deal, it’s cheaper than our similar top pick. We ultimately picked the Away because its wheels spun just a bit more freely in our testing, we liked its underside handle, and we’ve been testing it longer. Deal price available in ocean blue or stellar white with code PRESIDENT.

Patagonia Black Hole Matte Wheeled Duffel 40L
If you want a wheeled adventure duffle with a lifetime warranty, we like this well-constructed carry-on. It’s made of 100% recycled fabric, which includes the TPU laminate. The wheel axle is easily repaired by anyone in the field, assuming they have spare parts.
Other things to know: Lacks the organization of our Yeti Crossroads pick. We only recommend the matte version. Only on sale in taupe or mauve.
