The Bronx, New York, foodie collective called Ghetto Gastro has partnered with the CRUX kitchenware company for a line of kitchen gear that includes air fryers, indoor grills, waffle makers, coffee makers and toaster ovens — most of them in the line’s striking red-and-white colors. Five percent of all proceeds will be donated to organizations fighting food insecurity from New York to New Orleans, according to the company. The CRUXGG line is now available at Target and Williams Sonoma.
After making a splash with its weighted comforters, Brooklinen has thrown the covers off to reveal its new line of weighted blankets. The blankets are made with textured cotton (and 1 percent spandex crepe on the face), with a quilted interior layered with tiny, eco-friendly glass beads that create a pleasant, reassuring weight that the company says can help ensure a more restful sleep. It comes in four colorways, including Deep Navy, Deep Rose, Deep Alpine and Terracotta.
As Black Friday and Cyber Monday get closer, retailers’ deals and sales will heat up across categories. Sales going on this week besides the ones mentioned above include beauty, bedding, clothing and more.
