Our cups runneth over
Tiffany & Co. has moved beyond the jewelry with its new Everyday Object line! Hate doing the dishes and love the look of paper cups?

They might set you back a pretty penny, but at least you can say you own something from Tiffany’s now!

You say, “Echo.” We say the same.
At EW HQ, we listen to our Echo all day every day. We listen to our local NPR affiliate, check in on the weather, ask random questions (Alexa knows a lot and she tells jokes!), and most of all, we play music. Practice your first dance to all kinds of songs with the Echo, pretend you’re the lead singer in a heavy metal band, or do a test run of walking down the aisle to a variety of tunes—all courtesy of your Echo. We love this oak finish but there are tons of pretty looks to choose from. This is one perfect gift to give yourself or to your partner, which is basically like giving it to yourself. (Been there, done that—is that still cool to say? No? OK.)
