Skimm Shopping

EDITOR'S NOTE

The Skimm Shopping team recently talked about all there is to consider when shopping for a little luxury. For me personally, it's the kind of product that will make small moments in my day easier, while bringing me some kind of satisfaction. Here are five of my go-tos:

These screen-cleaning wipes that I use for everything, from my phone to my sunglasses.
The most design-forward way to take your meds.
The eye patches that won’t slide down your face. I just bought more for my wedding day.
This beginner-friendly fountain pen for writing your to-do list.
The affordable surface cleaner I buy on repeat.
