“The Paris Novel” by Ruth Reichl
Target
$19 (16% off)
When we recommended this book earlier this month, it went flying off the shelves. Left with a one-way ticket to Paris after her mother’s death, Stella puts aside her reluctance to go and uses the trip as a chance to reconcile with the after-effects of her traumatic childhood. When she finally arrives, she finds a Dior dress that’s been made for her. The dress propels her to embrace a new friendship with an elderly gentleman who takes her under his wing and introduces her to the elite. The Paris Novel is a reflection on the meaning of home. If you’re drooling already, just wait until you read how Ruth Reichl, a food writer, describes the Parisian cuisine.
Athleta Pranayama Wrap
Athleta
$89 (Up to 70% off)
If putting on an outer layer after a sweaty workout makes your skin crawl, consider this wrap the answer to your prayers when the weather isn’t warm enough to walk to the gym in your exercise tank. You’ll welcome the soft fabric from this chic sweater after a session in the gym or for a evening walk outside. It has pockets and comes in 14 colors, seven of which are on sale.
J.Crew Vintage Jersey Cotton T-Shirt
J.Crew
$35 (29% off)
This is Katie’s all-time favorite T-shirt. Made from 100 percent cotton, it’s soft against the skin and continues getting softer with each wash. Stock up on core colors so you always have a clean one to wear.
Quince Cashmere Wrap
Quince
An oversized cashmere wrap can be draped over your shoulders, used as a blanket, or even folded into a pillow when needed. That’s what makes it a travel staple for both our readers and Katie, and it makes for an impeccable gift, too. And while it isn’t technically on sale, according to Quince, traditional retailers would mark this way higher than they price it.
Quince Italian Leather Woven Bag
Quince
Yes, high quality handbags are an investment, but if you don’t care much about the label, why pay full price? This carryall has three interior compartments to help keep your belongings organized, and you can wear it as a shoulder bag or crossbody. The woven aesthetic is similar to what you’ll see from high end designers, but this bag is way more affordable.
Cornbread Hemp CBD Sleep Gummies
Cornbread Hemp
$50 (20% off when you subscribe)
We’ve all had those nights when we can’t wait for our heads to hit the pillow, only to find ourselves wide awake. When you know falling asleep might be a challenge, a melatonin-free CBD gummy could help you relax and drift off more easily. These from Cornbread Hemp are a KCM favorite. The brand’s products are Kentucky-grown, manufactured in a GMP-certified facility, and third-party tested to ensure great quality.
J.Crew Cotton Long-Sleeve Pajama Sets
J.Crew
$98 (53% off)
On chilly nights, Katie reaches for this pajama set with long sleeves and pants. She loves the classic menswear look and that it can be monogrammed. Reviews advise sizing down, so keep that in mind before placing your order.
Cozy Earth Sheets
Cozy Earth
$288 (35% off)
Silky-smooth bamboo sheets make it easier to drift off to sleep, and they help you stay asleep if you tend to wake up from night sweats. Thanks to their breathable fabric, Cozy Earth sheets help regulate your body temperature and allow sweat to evaporate more quickly than synthetic materials.

Canopy Bedroom Humidifier
Canopy
$159 (16% off)
Waking up with dry sinuses and tight skin doesn’t exactly leave you feeling fresh as a daisy first thing in the morning. Adding a humidifier to your bedside table not only makes breathing easier, but it can help improve your skin’s hydration levels, reduce congestion, and soothe airway inflammation. This one from Canopy is mold-inhibiting, dishwasher-safe, and dermatologist-recommended. Plus, it comes with a filter that makes it compatible with tap water, so you don’t have to run to the store to buy distilled every time you need a refill.
