When we first happened upon the iconic Nori press, we had to try it for ourselves to find out if the hype is real. Verdict: It is most definitely real. It's basically a flat iron for your clothes because it works the same way: Simply pop the fabric between the two heated plates and get all of the wrinkles out for good. Did we mention it steams and irons at the same time? It's great for anyone who travels on the regular and doesn't want to use those fold-down ironing boards in the hotel room.

"I got this as a birthday present in 2014 and, nearly a decade later, I still have and use it all the time," associate shopping editor Jessica Cherner says. "I have bought and enjoyed many other blow dryers since, but I always come back to this one because it has the perfect heat-to-power ratio that protects your hair and dries it quickly."

"I bought this for a friend after learning he loves candles," Cherner notes. "He said he likes something fresh and natural that doesn't smell too floral or fruity, so after doing lots of smelling in the Anthropologie store, I landed on this one from Sydney Hale Co. It fills the whole room with a rich and woodsy scent."

No, this isn't a yoga mat. It's a no-slip towel that goes on top of a yoga mat. It's ideal for anyone brave enough to sweat through a hot yoga class because they keep you from slipping in a self-made puddle and injuring yourself.
