Can’t get enough water in during the day? A cute tumbler should be enough motivation. Starbucks just dropped a Peanuts collaboration featuring everyone’s favorite beagle Snoopy and his friends in time for Pumpkin Spice season. The collection includes tumblers, cups, mugs, and other merch featuring the characters enjoying autumn, and while everything is cute, we’ve got our eye on the Great Pumpkin Tumbler priced at P2,075. Snoopy is rushing to places on this pastel orange tumbler as he sports a green scarf and has a beverage in one paw. It also has a pumpkin on the illustration, and Woodstock flying by! The Peanuts collection is available in stores starting September 15, so drop by your nearest branch to check them out in person!

Music is a non-negotiable on commutes and runs, but if it tunes out the world a little too well, it could conceal potential danger that lies ahead. The CMF Clip Pro delivers music straight to your ear while keeping you aware of your surroundings so you can move around safely as you hit replay on your favorite tunes. Unlike most earbuds that go straight into the ear canal or headphones that cover the whole ear, this listening device clips over the ear like a cuff. Priced at P5,990, the CMF Clip Pro is lightweight, has a long battery life, and can even be an accessory that completes an outfit. For now, the pair is available for purchase at Digital Walker stores–ideal for trying it on before committing!

A Katinko inhaler is a work or school bag essential. Apart from keeping headaches and nausea at bay, it also provides a much needed jolt in the middle of a busy day. The classic menthol scent does wonders, but if you want something a little more fragrant, the brand just came out with a Lavender variant in cute purple packaging to match the scent. Bring home a bundle of two for just P170–one for you and a friend, or maybe just for yourself and your many tote bags.

Keeping things light during a commute is the goal, but if you have to bring everything, then you might as well get a bag that can carry all the essentials and more. The Paper Bunny’s Commuter Backpack is a cult-fave for good reason. It comes with a padded laptop sleeve that fits up to 16-inch laptops, external side pockets for a phone and passport, a top flap that doubles as a zip pocket with an inner mesh pocket, a key strap, bottle pockets, a shoe compartment, and internal mesh pockets for storage and organization. There’s even a built-in luggage slot for airport runs, charm loops and daisy chain straps for endless personalization, and a reflective bungee cord for bigger items like a jacket or a yoga mat. It’s available in three colorways and retails at P8,100.

The Paper Bunny is at GF Uptown Mall, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City. Also available online.

Viewfinders on some cameras are really small, and those with big displays can feel too bulky in the bag. For a camera that can fit in your pocket and promises a clear view of your subject, do check out the Godox C100 Mini Camera. Unlike other small digital cameras that have a lens, viewfinder, and a screen, this unit incorporates all three into one so you’re capturing the moment through your own eyes. It doesn’t allow for playback and review though, but not knowing how a photo is going to turn out and just focusing on taking down the memory is charming. It’s lightweight and small enough to bring around and is easy to operate. It usually retails for P3,899, but we saw it on sale for P2,599.

Available online via The Nest Manila.

South Korean fragrance brand Hetras has officially opened a pop-up in Manila, and while their diffusers are a hot commodity, their Perfumed Mango Seed Butter Cream is not to be ignored. The selection isn’t quite as complete just yet, but they do carry the viral scent Daisy, which is a fave amongst Korean celebrities like GDragon. The minimalist packaging makes it easy to tell the scents apart, but the cute daisy illustration–which is unique to the bestseller–is a nice touch. Each tube retails for P740.

The Hetras pop-up store is at R2 Level, Powerplant Mall, Rockwell, Makati. Hetras is available online through its website.
