During busy seasons, I've found that a new mom or friend will appreciate a gift basket that provides a full meal or two. With this birthday box from Katz, we had enough New York fresh pastrami, corned beef, bread, Swiss cheese, pickles, dressing, and more for about eight sandwiches or a few meat and cheese platters to share at a pa

Known for its incredibly thick and moist cookies, Levain is a coveted cookie brand. For the longest time, Levain bakeries were only local to residents of Manhattan and the Hamptons. Fast-forward nearly 30 years, and you can get its cookies delivered right to your doorstep, which I think is perfect for an intimate date night at h

I’ve tackled projects with a physical level, a laser that doesn’t self-level, and self-leveling lasers, and the cross-line design makes jobs so much easier. It has a great range too, but it’s most accurate under 33 feet, and we notice the visibility dropping to about 12 feet in bright sunli

The placement possibilities for the dryer are a bit limited since it doesn't have four-way venting; however, we don’t consider that a deal-breaker since the door is reversible to accommodate different room layouts. We think this washer and dryer are ultimately a great choice for anyone who just wants basic functions paired with very reliable clean

Even after wearing these for years, we are constantly surprised by the support they provide every time we slip them on. The fur has matted down a bit, but this does not take away from the comfort of these slippers at all. If the matting bothers you, we suggest getting a darker color so it's less visi

Our tester dropped this level three times during testing, and we rechecked the accuracy after each drop to make sure it was still working. It actually measures more accurately than the stated 1/9-inch tolerance, and there wasn’t any reduction in accuracy after the dr

The washer's cycles are a bit long, mainly because the spin portion is quite extensive. I always find our load pressed up against the sides of the washer's drum and spun out very well, which means the dryer is that much more effective at its

Marisa Viglione is an associate editorial director for The Spruce, specializing in appliances, cleaning, organization, and home tech. She's been researching, vetting, and testing washers and dryers for four years and has used both top-loading and front-loading machines in her home. For this roundup, she relied on her firsthand experiences with our best top-loading pick and consulted testing insights from over 2,000 hours of hands-on testing we've completed for washers and dry

Like most IKEA furniture, assembling the Micke 28" Desk is quite tedious. It comes in many pieces, so having an extra set of hands is extremely helpful. However, the durability, compact silhouette, and affordable $60 price tag outweigh the assembly. And after moving it into my new space and having it for two years, it’s a desk I still recommend to every

While the IKEA Micke Desk is larger than its 28-inch counterpart, it’s still on the compact side, but not too compact to where you feel like you’re missing desktop space. Overall, this is a great option for those looking for a traditional office desk with stor

I can always count on Williams Sonoma for a food gift basket that feels luxurious. During testing, I was instantly charmed by the high-end packaging. A twine string holds the boxes of the Manhattan Fruitier Chocolate Confections Gift Tower together neatly in a stack, and a decorative gifting bow adorned the boxes, just as pictu

Having a Small Apartment Interior Design Game Missions|Https://Smallspacenest.Com/ space requires a bit of innovation—like having a desk you can use for work during the day, then wipe clean and use as a bar height table at night. That’s exactly why we love the Mr. Ironstone Bar Ta

When I was a kid camping and fishing with my dad and grandpa on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, we used heavy, smelly kerosene lanterns to light up our campsites. I now use LED lanterns instead, and I love the portability and dual functionality of the Lighting Ever Rechargeable LED Lantern. It works as both a flashlight and a lantern, with a curved fold-flat handle and a metal ring that’s perfect for hanging it up in your campsite or clipping to a backpack.

This lightweight rechargeable lantern serves three functions, which makes it useful when space and weight are limited. It can be used as a flashlight, a lantern, or an emergency power bank. If you need emergency power, you can plug your phone (or any other device that charges via USB) into

What really sets the top-load washer apart from the rest, though, is the removable agitator. You can choose an impeller plate instead, which will maximize the drum for comforters, bedding, and any other bulky items. I've found myself using the agitator more, but l do love the option to expand the drum at just a twist of the agita

I love that this gift basket includes nine juicy pears, all under $50, earning it our title for the best gift basket we tested. While it took almost a month to arrive, we were surprised to find that the pears were not quite ripe yet, so they lasted for a long t
