(And, if you’re craving even more Clever content, don’t forget to sign up for our newsletter.)

November 1, 2022 – At the start of November, Lulu and Georgia released their latest and greatest—an enviable assortment of rugs made in collaboration with interior designer Jake Arnold. Richly textured and crafted with organic materials, the nine-piece collection is just the thing to bring some earthiness to your space in 2023. Pro tip? Layer more than one for added drama!

November 2, 2022 – Since it’s officially off to the races for all things holiday, we think some seasonally appropriate treats will help you really get in a festive mood. Enter Home Dough, the organic cookie dough brand that just reintroduced its seasonal molasses ginger spice cookie. Enjoy these gourmet treats with loved ones and a warm cup of cocoa or maybe make a few for Santa’s upcoming visit.

November 2, 2022 – If your future holiday-feast plans include a turkey centerpiece, Staff’s newest offering should help. Last month, the brand who previously brought you some of the most fashionable toilet accessories on the market released a friendly looking turkey baster in an easy-to-spot hot pink and purple colorway. Use it as intended or for other culinary feats like separating egg yolks and portioning pancake batter onto the griddle.

November 3, 2022 – Creating a delicious-looking tablescape is easy with the latest from Byredo and Laila Gohar. In November, the fragrance and lifestyle brand teamed up with Gohar World’s founder to create a collection of delectable-looking holiday items, including curated candle sets, spud-like votive holders, and these eye-catching printed cotton tablecloths any foodie would adore. 

November 3, 2022 – If digital design editor Sydney Gore’s stay at the Ulysses didn’t convince you to book a trip to the high-design hotel, we think this newly released merch might. Last month, NY-based hotelier Ash debuted Souvenirs: a line of very stylish home and lifestyle objects inspired by its hotel stays—from the Ulysses in Baltimore to the The Siren Hotel in Detroit. We’ve got our sights set on this cozy-looking cotton robe that was specially designed for the Ulysses and hand block-printed in Bagru, India.

November 3, 2022 – Nothing makes our heart flutter like a particularly nice area rug, and fashion icon Iris Apfel’s collaboration with Ruggable seems like the perfect excuse to upgrade any tired-looking tufted accessory. The best part? Like all of Ruggable’s offerings, each stylish piece is machine-friendly. We’d snag this vintage inspired design with a handsome border and an allover moth motif.

November 8, 2022 – Material’s new glassware is just the thing to pick up if you’re in the mood to revamp your current collection of drinking cups (or anticipating a new bar cart under the tree this year). This tall set is available in your choice of murky green, hazy gray, or a classic transparent borosilicate glass, though we’re tempted to pick up more than one to mix and match colors.

November 8, 2022 – Microsoft’s latest collaboration with Liberty London is the definition of smart design. Lending Liberty’s signature florals to Microsoft’s Surface Pro 9, the limited edition keyboard is stylishly functional, with a design that securely stores and recharges the Surface Slim Pen 2 and a cheerful tone-on-tone blue palette to brighten up your screen time. The high-tech keyboard has fast and accurate typing function, as well as backlit keys and a large multi-touch glass trackpad for easy navigation.

November 11, 2022 – We can never get enough of Eny Lee Parker, and last month, the Clever-approved artist and designer unveiled her latest exhibition at the Lambert et Fils showroom in New York City, entitled “Soft & Sensitive.” Though the show will be on display until ​​December 16, you can also snag on of the splurge-worthy pieces through Eny’s site right now. For an especially nice home upgrade, we’d personally go with this snake light, which is available in metallic and ceramic finishes.

November 12, 2022 – After coming off collabs with the likes of the Louvre and Met, Casetify just unveiled its latest artist-driven collab—this time with M+, Asia’s first global museum of contemporary visual culture, and iconic Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. The collaboration brings to life “Yayoi Kusama: 1945 until now” (on display in M+’s gallery space until May 2023), through four eye-catching phone cases featuring some of the artist’s most notable works.

November 15, 2022 – Susan Alexandra (another Clever fave!) and Ketel One Botanical teamed up for a very dreamy collab of tableware and drink accessories to enjoy your favorite liquor brand in style. In the collection you’ll find fruit-adorned glass straws, beaded and embroidered coasters, and a fully beaded crossbody bag that’s just the right size for your bottle of choice—any of which would make an ideal pick for your favorite hostess. 

November 15, 2022 – In case you’ve already got an upcoming winter cabin getaway in the books, we think the latest from Brooklinen and Pendleton will be a useful pick-up. Whether you’re by the fireplace or situated on the couch binging Netflix, wrapping yourselves up in this cotton and wool throw will be a real treat. Each one is made at the Pendleton Mill in Oregon with wool sourced from sustainable growers and farms.

November 16, 2022 – Make passing the salt or pepper during meal time all the more special with this show-stopping grinder designed by Fabien Cappello for Hem. Drawing inspiration from the liveliness of Mexico, the very sculptural tabletop accessory is made from solid beech wood and individually hand-painted so no two are alike.

November 16, 2022 – The latest cookware team-up from Great Jones and California clothing brand Lisa Says Gah is just the thing to build a more stylish kitchen collection. Combining each brand’s love of joyful prints and thoughtful design, the collection’s limited-edition Dutch ovens and aprons have a vintage flair and cottagecore feel we find especially charming for the upcoming holidays. 

November 24, 2022 – We think this handsome case from Rimowa is just the thing to surprise your favorite wine aficionado. Protecting your most precious Bordeauxs, Merlots, and Champagnes is easy with this ultra-durable aluminum carrier, available in a one- and now twelve-bottle design. Inside, you’ll find padded cushioning that wedges bottle necks to keep them in place, as well as a thoughtfully designed support system that stabilizes the case when kept open. Very cheers-worthy!

November 25, 2022 – For your favorite baker, this bundle from Basquet will be a dream come true. This very giftable set includes delicious mixes like cookie dough banana bread, chocolate cake mix, ready-to-eat treats like chocolate chip cookies from Partake, and even non-foodie treats like a tasteful puzzle from Piecework.

November 30, 2022 – A practical but still stylish drink set for the holidays is the perfect gift to make sure your loved one starts off the new year on the right foot. One that will perfectly complement their favorite Hill House Home wardrobe staples or home goods—like this duo that features a very sweet floral design—is even better.

November 30, 2022 – Any one of Farm Girl Flowers’ fresh arrangements would make a lovely holiday gift, though we think this aromatic lavender plant is definitely the most unique option. Affectionately named “Garten Variety,” after Ina Garten, you’ll even be able to adorn your new lavender plant with customizable twinkle lights and dried orange slices, making it an especially festive (and aromatic) decorative piece.
