Jenny Xie, Executive Editor:
"I have a big crush on Bang & Olufsen in general, but I particularly love this powerful, portable speaker that I've taken to campgrounds, picnics by the lake, weekend Airbnbs—and most often to the kitchen to listen to podcasts while I cook. It's big and rich in sound and super sleek in looks (with lots of new, limited-edition colors to choose from). Just don't drop it and dent it like I did."

ShopDaniel Miesner, Product Management Director:
"Now that it's warming up, BBQs are on the agenda. I love this Kuchoma Grill which is compact enough to fit on the tailgate of my truck. Are apartment parking lot tailgate parties a thing? They are now."
Mike Chino, Senior Editor:
"I’ve been on a minimalist style kick for the past few years, but I’ve been feeling the urge to wild out lately. These textured, leopard-print high tops turn the volume way up, yet they play nicely with wardrobe basics like black jeans and denim jackets. They don’t match anything, so they go with everything."
Duncan Nielson, Editorial Support:
"In springtime, the faster I can throw something on and get out the door, the better. A slub tee fits the bill: it doesn’t wrinkle, is lightweight and breathable which make it well-suited for warmer weather, and the loom process adds texture for style points. Also, ‘slub’ is the most relaxed word ever."
Buck Mason Slub Curved Hem Tee
Classic fit short sleeve crewneck tee with our signature curved hem in 145 GSM cotton jersey with light slub texture.
ShopHaley Heramb, Branded Content Manager:
"Now that it's getting warmer, I'm craving cold brew over hot coffee—I've found that it's super easy to make at home by soaking grounds in my French press in the refrigerator overnight!"
YIELD Glass French Press
Classy in glass. The sister to our best-loved ceramic french press, this glass version lets you see the fruits of your labor, drip by drip. The sleek yet sturdy, heatproof borosilicate glass can withstand extreme temperatures, and the copper pull adds a pop of shine. Not a coffee drinker? It's just as useful for brewing iced or hot tea. Your french press comes with a handy instruction booklet, so you’ll be well on your way to hot coffee in no time! Photo Courtesy of Food52
ShopSam Daly, Editorial Assistant:
"I finally got off my butt and quietly retired my wallet-that-was-technically-just-a-coin-purse that I bought in 2015 in favor of this zippered model from Baggu. It has card slots, a center coin pouch, and it was on sale for $48! Love accidentally stumbling on a good deal."
Sydney Sibelius, Social Media Associate:
"One of my favorite things about springtime is the abundance of fresh vegetables! Farmers markets are overflowing with various seasonal produce, and I love taking my goods home to build a beautiful salad. Spring is the perfect time to experiment with new ingredients and recipes!"
Stamped Copy: Food52 Mighty Salads
Salad (did you just go, “ugh”?) doesn’t have to mean squeaky spinach leaves with a scant sprinkle of feta. Or a monstrous gloppy restaurant tray with more dressing and fried crunchies than anything else. Mighty Salads are chewy grains and silky beans and sprouts and rips of prosciutto, any seed and toasty nuts and eggs and pretzels and bright herbs. And yes, also leaves. Mighty Salads is 60 recipes from our community, from the leafy to the vegetable-laden, the bean-y to the mostly meaty. You’ll find the salads that will become your packable lunch, a go-to to impress dinner guests, or the best way to clean out your fridge. Scoffing at the idea that you need a recipe for a salad? We hear you. But Mighty Salads is full of tips and tricks to take your salad game to a whole new level. Each recipe has a formula for “off-roading”, for those of us who like to color outside the lines. And you’ll pocket capital-G Genius ideas like a trick to tame a lotta pucker and instructions for sprouting your own grains. And recipe-follower or no, you’ll walk away with a few new components to incorporate into your own favorites: smoked lentils, cornbread croutons, and (huh?!) pickled chorizo. There's no right or wrong with salads. And we think that's mighty (heh) fine. Balance is key: after your salad feast, you’ll need a hit of sugar. Our new cookbook Ice Cream & Friends is chock full of 60 recipes and oodles of tips to make your frozen, frosty dreams come true. Your copy of Mighty Salads will come hand stamped by the Food52 editors. Size: 160 pages; 9.3" L x 7.6" W x 1" H Author: Editors of Food52, Amanda Hesser, & Merrill Stubbs Sourced from: Ten Speed Press Photo // Bobbi Lin.
ShopMaris Berkowitz, Sales and Marketing Assistant:
"I've been on a bit of a spring cleaning kick—so much so that my ancient vacuum cleaner actually died on me. I decided it was time to invest in one that would last, and so I went for this Dyson vacuum; at first I thought it was overpriced, but soon after using it I realized how much of a game-changer it really is. Cleaning is no longer a chore; I actually love using this product and enjoy how easily it gets the job done! This vacuum is a spring cleaning must-have."
Samantha Ramirez, Editorial Support:
"As soon as the weather starts to brighten up, and I start to feel like the sky and everything around me becomes more colorful, I feel like adding a pop of color into my own style as well—and I think red is a bold color, without being too cliché."
Dear Sundays Nail Polish No. 17
A rich, deep red with subtle dark cherry undertones, worn in and out of office. A classy and subtle reminder to own your confidence.
