(SPOT.ph) The start of a new month is always a reminder that there’s room in our lives to start fresh—take this time to set new goals for yourself, to leave the stress of the last few weeks behind, and to do things that make you feel good. Considering the mental and emotional rollercoaster that April was, we say spend May spoiling yourself silly—and if the way you choose to do that is with some retail therapy, we’re totally cheering you on. Even better, we went ahead and listed some cool new finds you can purchase now to satisfy your online shopping addiction and to boost your serotonin levels. This month, we spotted a stylish and budget-friendly coffee machine, nifty decor pieces and storage solutions for your home, a life-saving lotion that can relieve your back pain, and so much more.
Treat yourself! Add these fresh shopping finds to your cart this May:
Water-Based Felt-Tip Pens (P75 each) from MUJI
If you’re a fan of MUJI’s popular Gel-Ink pens, you’ll want to add their new felt-tip pens to your stationery collection, too! While the Japanese brand’s gel pens feature a classic ballpoint design, these fine liners made with soft felt tips offer a slightly thicker stroke compared to typical metal ballpoints and require only gentle pressure to create clean lines with bright, vibrant pigmentation. They also give the user more control and versatility when writing, as the pressure and angles that you apply while writing can impact how your strokes will look. That makes them perfect for doodling on journals, decorating and color-coding notes, or just writing for longer periods with lighter pressure.
Available online; see a list of MUJI stores.
Automatic Dishwashing Brush and Sponge (P330) from SK Mixes
Few chores are as tedious and uninviting as dishwashing, and to help you make the process easier, we recently rounded up some nifty finds that can make dishwashing less of a pain. One of our fave picks from that list is this cool dishwashing brush from SK Mixes. It has its own water chamber that dispenses water onto the attached brush with the push of a button. That way, you don’t need to leave your faucet running while you wash. You can even change the head of the tool into a sponge depending on what would best suit the dish you’re cleaning.
Available online.
15-Bar Coffee Machine (P4,500) from Noon
If you’re slowly stocking up on #aesthetic coffee makers and brewing tools, you may want to consider adding Noon’s 15-Bar espresso machine to your wish list—especially if you’d rather not shell out tens of thousands on industrial devices. As with most espresso machines, it works by using pressure to push boiling water through finely ground coffee beans, resulting in strong coffee with bold, full-bodied flavor. This brewing method is used by most of the coffee shops you would find around the Metro, which means you'll finally be able to brew a cup of coffee at par with your fave café's cup of joe. Though many popular espresso makers on the market feature a hefty design, Noon's take on the machine sports a much more compact build that would easily fit on your kitchen countertop or coffee nook. Plus, we love the device's sleek, vintage-style design. You can get it in seven pretty colors!
Available for pre-order on UAE Best Buy’s Facebook page.
Summer Playful Hedgehog Stainless Steel Water Bottle (P1,995) from Starbucks
Starbucks just released their adorable new Happy Hedgehog Collection and it’s all about that colorful, summer-y aesthetic! It features water bottles, reusable cups, mugs, and even a glass pitcher, each decked out in pastel shades of teal and sienna and covered in nature-inspired illustrations. We’re especially loving this #aesthetic stainless-steel tumbler, which sports a cream-colored exterior with dainty doodles all around.
Available online; see a list of Starbucks stores.
Crossword Tee (P900) from Bratpack x DBTK
If your wardrobe is all about comfort and effortless style, you’ll be happy to know that minimalist oversized T-shirts are currently one of the coolest trends making appearances on every IG-worthy OOTD out there. Here’s where to find some worth adding to your collection: Bratpack teamed up with local streetwear brand DBTK to create stylish graphic T-shirts that would look great with jeans, leggings, shorts, skirts, or pretty much any bottoms you could think of. Whatever you pair them with, your outfit is sure to look as laidback as you are. We’re currently eyeing this black Crossword tee from the line, which sports a bright, cartoony graphic in a psychedelic style reminiscent of ‘90s cartoons!
Available online; see a list of Bratpack stores.
Arizona To The Beach Sandals in Watermelon (P2,990) from Birkenstock
Birkenstock sandals have long been a summertime favorite among beach-goers and nature lovers. The brand’s EVA sandals in particular—made from a lightweight and comfortable material fit for a variety of weather conditions—are a great pick for your outdoor adventures. If you’re looking for a new pair for your (socially distanced) summer 2021 outings, check out their To The Beach Collection. We’ve got major heart eyes for the classic Arizona sandal decked out in a bright pink shade known as Watermelon.
Available at Res Toe Run, Zalora, Bratpack, and The Travel Club.
Cable Storage Box (starts at P758) from MIFAN
Say goodbye to loose cables cluttering your desk and floor! You can finally hide that unsightly extension cord in your home office (and everything plugged into it) with this handy storage box from MIFAN. Your entire power strip will fit right into it with no fuss. The box has slits on either side, so you can still plug the extension cord into its designated wall socket and have access to your many chargers, too.
Available online.
Cooling Leg and Body Cream (P375) from Human Nature
If those long, grueling work-from-home days tend to leave you with soreness in your legs, back, shoulders, and other parts of the body, we found something that might help: Human Nature’s Cooling Leg and Body Cream is formulated with soothing ingredients like peppermint, which will give your skin that cool, tingly sensation all over, so you can free yourself of any stress or tension right before bed. It’s a great lotion for summertime as it won’t leave you feeling damp and sticky!
Available online and at leading supermarket and department stores.
Estelle Candle Holder (P750) from Shibui Home Studio
Nope, the scented candle obsession hasn’t died down and if you’ve already got way too many to count, here’s something that can turn your plain old candles into elegant home decor: Shibui Home Studio’s Estelle candle holder looks almost like a fancy candelabra, but with a minimalist aesthetic perfect for Nordic or Korean-style spaces. Their freshly scented Vera Taper candles (P590/set of four) are made especially for the decorative piece, but you can use it with any long candles you’ve got lying around. It will add a delicate, #aesthetic touch to your space while also setting the mood for a relaxing evening in bed.
Available online.
Original Stripe Logo Bodysuit (P1,898) from Guess
We here at SPOT.ph are inexhaustibly loyal to the immaculate outfit combination that is high-waisted bottoms and a well-fitted, tucked in top—few things are as form-flattering and confidence-boosting. If you, too, can’t get enough of the combo, we suggest stocking up on bodysuits—we went ahead and listed some basic styles you can shop now. In case you’ve already got all the neutrals and closet staples you need, this GUESS bodysuit is a worthy pick for your next purchase. It has all the practical benefits of a plain bodysuit, but with a striped design that channels Y2K fashion and will add some much-needed to your wardrobe.
