The Coolest New Stuff From the Last Week

Active sitting is not for the faint of heart. It's essentially a way for you to stay active while you're sitting, and Branch's new Saddle chair is an excellent foray into the health trend. Made in collaboration with the Finnish brand MyKolme, the Saddle chair is more of a stool, which forces you to sit in a way that engages your core and takes the pressure off your lower back. It's Branch's first entry into the active-sitting category, but if it's too much for you, the brand makes some excellent office chairs (which we know because we've tried them).

Part of the fun of watching Sean Evans interview people on the series “Hot Ones” is getting the hot sauces they use in the series and trying them at home to see if you'd fare better than your favorite celebrities (Idris Elba, looking at you). Fly By Jing's Sichuan Gold has been featured on the web series before, and it's now available for purchase. It's a very, very hot condiment, packing nine times the heat of the brand's flagship chili oil, so last dab at your own discretion.

Actually stylish humidifier brand Canopy's latest gadget goes even bigger with a tank that accommodates rooms up to 1,000 square feet versus the regular model's 500-square-feet coverage capacity. Aside from the boosted size and coverage area, the device is pretty much the same as the original: including dishwasher-safe parts, mist-free moisture, and an embedded UV light that kills 99.9% of gross stuff. And if you really like Canopy, you can even sign up for the brand's subscription service to get regular deliveries for its anti-microbial filters every six weeks (less work for you in the long run).

We've raved plenty about Parachute's top-shelf bedding—but its line of accompanying furniture, a recent product category for the company, is nothing to snooze on. The brand recently launched a chair inspired by ‘50s Spanish furniture that features a low-slung, leather-bound seat which is primed for leaning back and settling in with a book. Consider bookmarking it for the coziest corner of your home. 

Sabah is more known for its shoes, so we were intrigued by its new entry into eau de parfums that's dubbed Bois. According to the brand, the warm scent—a leathery aroma mixed with frankincense, fir, and patchouli—was designed to evoke feelings of the American southwest and the eastern Mediterranean. Plus, it's all housed in a sleek glass bottle finished off with a leather cap that's practically begging to be flexed on your dresser table.

If you haven't heard of Anyday, we'll give you the lowdown: The brand really wants you to use your microwave more. The cookware is all meant to help you actually cook delicious food with your microwave, dismissing the common wisdom that your trusty reheater “Chef Mike” should only be reserved for warming up already-made food. The meal prep set includes the brand's new freezer trays, which are the ultimate meal prep underdogs, and come with silicone lids that keep funky freezer smells and flavors from seeping into your food. 

Suitcase brand Lojel makes much more than luggage—like this phone sling, which is part of the new Iloj collection that also includes a wallet and a key holder. As phones get bigger, pant pockets feel less and less accommodating, so consider keeping your phone on hand with a neat little accessory instead.

Tinned fish has really had a moment over the past year, with the highly 'grammable brand Fishwife taking the internet by storm. Its latest release—because tinned fish get releases now—is a salt- and umami-packed anchovy. The little fish are salt-cured for anywhere between six to 12 months, and they're sourced from a sustainable anchovy fishery in Europe which is the first to be certified by the MSC, a group that sets the standard for sustainable fishing. Throw these into practically any meal, or even a dirty martini, for some added umami oomph.

This is not your typical ashtray, but then again nothing from Seth Rogen's brand Houseplant—an array of well-designed weed accessories and paraphernalia—is just average. The cast-iron ashtray features spikes to hold your joints, which are removable and easy to clean when the party's over. Even non-smokers might enjoy having this hedgehog-like home decor just lying around the house.
