For this week’s Don’t Dillydally, we’ve rounded up a range of newly released products we’re particularly excited about, including a Lego set that’ll thrill theater kids, a long-awaited Pleasing restock, and some hyped-up fancy Jell-O.
Despite its popularity, there are a few common complaints about the Yoyo stroller: The storage basket is too small, the seat back is always somewhat reclined, and the sunshade doesn’t block enough sun. This new model aims to resolve these issues and then some. I haven’t tested it yet, but as a Yoyo owner who wants to love it more, I am hopeful.
After a two-year wait, the original mesh tote bag from Harry Styles’s brand Pleasing is back in stock. It looks a little bit like a string farmers’-market bag, and it’s available, for now, with either black or blue brand logos across the straps. Of every item on this list, it’s the one I predict will sell out fastest.
Dyson’s first pair of headphones were part of a larger air-purifier mask that was mostly mocked online. This audio-only pair is a lot more intriguing, despite the high price tag.
D.S. & Durga has teamed up with Soft Services to make a special-edition Debaser-scented exfoliating body bar. Fans of either brand, or the Pixies, will delight in a fine scrubbing that smells like figs, iris, coconut milk, tonka, and wood.
Over the last five years or so, fancy and decorative Jell-O/jelly/gelée has been a big trend among food-industry folks and on social media. Now you can make it yourself at home: Strategist writer Ambar Pardilla tried several flavors from the newly launched brand Gelée and liked guava best because it reminds her of the refreshing guava juice she drank as a kid.
Yes, it’s still only August, but as spooky-season superfans know, it’s prime Halloween shopping season. Baublebar just launched Halloween and Disney Halloween collections full of very wearable jewelry and accessories, like these sparkly skeleton earrings, a pair of studs that says “Dead Inside,” and glow-in-the-dark ghost Mickey key chains.
Flik Flak is Swatch’s line of kids’ watches. It’s also really fun to say — FLIK FLAK. This latest collection focuses on the exhibits and artifacts you can find in museums, from dinosaurs and gemstones to cat mummies and robots.
Anyone I know who has tried Osea’s Undaria body oil has quickly become a convert. Now the brand is making body wash with the same scent, and it has seaweed to gently wash away dirt and sweat.
It’s still summer, but it’s totally okay to start thinking about your fall and winter slippers. I’m not the only one on Team Strategist who’s excited about these new outdoor-friendly sheep slippers from Cozy Earth because of the way they combine luxury loungewear with chunky nonslip soles.
You don’t have to be a Broadway nerd to get into the new Lego x Wicked collection, now available for preorder. It has witches, brooms, castles, flowers, and a sailboat, after all. But if you are a fan of the musical or a fan of Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, even better.
Aura Bora x P.F. Candle Co.
Strategist senior editor Jen Trolio wasn’t sure what to expect from this watermelon-chili sparkling water made in collaboration with P.F. Candle Co. — but she says it’s legitimately good. “It’s actually got a spicy kick to it that is quite compelling and interesting,” she says. There’s a candle as part of the collaboration, too.
