As shopping experts, we are always looking for the best products on the market. Each month, our editors try new and old products we’ve purchased for ourselves or gifted by brands to determine if we’d recommend them to our readers. Here are the ones I tried and loved in April that I think are really worth it.
o’keeffe’s working hand
Office freezing requires non-stick hand cream It leaves no oily residue on my keyboard – and that’s exactly what this O’Keeffe hand lotion does. But this cream works. It’s the ideal consistency. It’s not so thick that it doesn’t spread, but it’s not too thin and doesn’t feel dry. I use a fingernail-sized amount and it keeps my skin hydrated for hours. Lindsey SchneiderEditor

Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 Instant Camera
I purchased two of these instant cameras for my wedding. There are no settings, the flash is always on, and the lens slides easily in and out of the camera. There’s also a small mirror on the side of the lens that makes framing the shot easier when taking selfies. It was a big hit with all the participants. – Harry Rabinowitzreporter

Birkenstock Arizona Platform
i live in my suede arizona birkenstock For the warmer months and this year I purchased the branded Arizona platform sandals. The platform sole is far more supportive than other Birkenstock-style flat soles, and the shoe’s smooth leather strap provides a clean look. I can walk miles in these sandals and they are always comfortable. Zoe MarinAssociate Update Editor

Outdoor Voice the Valley Dress
Just last week I received an Outdoor Voice Volley dress from their team and have worn it at least three times since (don’t worry, I promise I’ve washed it in the meantime).It was exciting to see how this new sporty dress compared to the company’s original dress. exercise dress (I adore and own in black and evergreen). I will continue to wear OV’s exercise dresses, but the ballet dresses have totally mesmerized me. It fits close to the body and has a gentle flare that flatters the figure. Additionally, I like the thicker, more supportive straps and bust area that makes me less conscious if I’m leaning against the bike’s handlebars while cruising in the park. Christina CorizaEditor

hay bullet pen
I ordered two Hay’s Bullet Pens after seeing them used daily by Select’s editorial director, Lauren Swanson. I was immediately drawn to its minimalist gold design. Sleek, thin and light, it’s an attractive addition to your stationery collection. Perhaps most importantly, the pen writes smoothly and I find myself actually enjoying the process of writing down my daily to-do list in my planner. Miri Godeoupdate editor

Sonos Era 300 speaker
I received this smart speaker from Sonos and have been using it for about a month. Designed specifically with spatial audio in mind, it features six drivers that shoot audio forward, upward, and to the sides. Stereo music, or anything you see on Spotify, sounds good, but this speaker sounds richer and more detailed when used for spatial audio songs, which is what it was designed for.
Mixed with Dolby Atmos on Apple Music, using the rich and wide instrumentation of albums like Pink Floyd’s “The Dark Side of the Moon (50th Anniversary)” and Paramore’s “This is Why.” When you listen to music that has been played, you will get a unique and wonderful sound.
The Era 300 connects via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, features Amazon and Sonos voice control, and can sync with other Sonos speakers via the Sonos app. – Harry Rabinowitz, Reporter

Grovemade desk shelf
The market for desk accessories is vast. Admittedly, when I was looking for a laptop stand that was both functional and aesthetically pleasing, I was a little lost as to what to buy. I wanted something that would accommodate the most accessible of supplies and one that would act as a stand to rest my laptop and prevent hunching. Then I received this wooden option from Grovemade and immediately stopped searching. I like that the inner aluminum shelf (which has room for sticky pads, notebooks, etc.) has curved edges so items don’t fall out the back. Plus, it’s super easy to assemble and works well as a minimalist desk decoration. – Lindsey Schneider, Editor

Bowers & Wilkins Pi7 S2
I just received the Pi7 S2 pair of wireless earbuds from Bowers & Wilkins and have been using them almost daily for about two months. These audiophile-friendly earbuds produce clear, pronounced bass and smooth vocals even at the lowest volumes.
They have active noise cancellation that can drown out most city sounds and are adaptive so the earbuds can intelligently adjust their noise cancellation based on my surroundings.
I personally also like the sleek, minimalist construction of these buds. It felt effortlessly lightweight even after hours of wear, and I wore it continuously until the battery died. increase. wireless earphones Beat the competition with attention to sound detail that easily rivals them. – Nishka Dhawan, Associate Commerce Editor
