Skimm Shopping

Editor's Note

A little birdie (my boss) might have told you that I got married nearly two weeks ago (see above). I’m back, feeling incredibly happy and extra refreshed. It might seem unbelievable, but there were times when I was thinking about this newsletter. There’s something about moving into a new life chapter that requires a sh*t ton of self-trust, and I felt that a lot during my wedding season. That self-trust exists here, too, in our Skimm Shopping newsletter.

We provide you guidance and show you things. But what is really true is that you know yourself best. You know what you like, and you know what you don’t like. So we’re honored that you trust us enough to read this newsletter every week and take our recommendations seriously. That is a trust we don’t intend to break.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing covetable holiday gifts, some little luxuries (hello, this new set from Merit), and products to enjoy as we embark onto the next chapter: hibernation season.

I’m delighted to be back.

The Daily Steal

The $35 tiny digital camera changing the way we capture memories

Between our Affiliate Director swearing by her full-sized digital camera, and another one of our editors going back to disposables, it’s safe to say we’re in our non-iPhone photography era. After one team member recently stumbled into Urban Outfitters and saw that Kodak is making these tiny digital camera bag charms, she knew she needed to have one. The images are perfectly grainy, and it's a fun way to capture memories without reaching for your phone. Just be sure to buy a memory card.

My post-wedding “shoppies” are alive and well

Never been happier to buy things that aren’t bridal.

Margo here. As heartwarming as my wedding was, it does feel nice to have a large part of my brain back. A lot of the shopping I was doing over the last year was gifts for others (which I love) or purely logistical, so it’s been nice to indulge again. In my last two weeks off, I have been doing some serious shopping for myself. Here’s a peek into my cart:
