For the month of April, brands have been switching up their offerings just in time for warmer weather and extended hours of sunshine. There have been cool collaborations, bright new colorways for classic products, genderless perfumes with dreamy scents, fancy phones for a not-so-bougie price, mini sex toys — the options run the gamut.
So what should you add to your cart? That depends on what you’re into. We’ve got a few options, whether it’s a Mother’s Day gift or something to treat yourself after a rough week. Here are the latest items that stood out from the flurry of new lifestyle releases this month. Get to shoppin’!
If you’re prioritizing skin health this year, hydration is key. The latest release from Farmacy offers lasting nourishment with the help of a milky formula that has ceramides and panthenol. The addition of raw and unprocessed Hawaiian white honey also heals skin that’s especially dry and in need of TLC.

Available in standout prints and soft shades, the collaboration is full of children’s and women’s swimwear for fun pool and sea side.

That’s why maternity brand Ingrid & Isabel decided to step in and create cooling relief gel packs to help moms heal and feel more like themselves. Their Post Birth Gel Pack ($32) and Breastfeeding Gel Pack ($28), in addition to providing comfort, can be reused over and over, as opposed to single-use ice packs.
Available at Ingrid & IsabelBecause the girls love a product that can do many things, get into iT Cosmetics’ Hello Sunshine Invisible Sunscreen SPF 50. It’s their first 3-in-1 SPF, which is also a serum offering nourishment and a makeup primer. It also shows up on the skin without residue and a white cast.
Available at SephoraFor the techie who is looking for something very different, look no further than this special edition pair of earbuds from Beats as part of a collaboration with Alo Yoga (known for making ridiculously cozy athleisure and fitness pieces). Singer Tyla is the star of the campaign for the wireless earbuds, which are known for their secure fit and sound quality during workouts. These buds come in a unique glossy black finish, with a case that has a chrome interior and then a sparkly exterior to make you feel extra fancy.
Available at Alo YogaA mini take on the super popular Snail Vibe vibrator, this option has the ability to increase stimulation (of the clitoris and the A-spot) thanks to its design and vibration modes (and their intensities). Its quiet sound matches its size and it can run for a full hour of play. Added bonus, it’s small enough to take wherever, whenever.
Available at LoversTo help people who want to do more precise cooking, Caraway, makers of some pretty awesome home goods (especially pots and pans), has dropped some new cookware sets in warm shades and, most importantly, in new shapes and sizes. There’s a pot for steaming, for stir frying, for soup and much, much more. Each one has the brand’s signature non-stick feature and non-toxic ceramic coating. If the cost of a full set is above your budget, you’re capable of buying the pieces individually.

Dossier recently launched some new formidable options in their genderless line of perfumes. They include the Oud & Rose on Fire with its notes that include everything from pear and rose (of course) to vanilla, myrrh and more. But our personal favorite is the new Orchid & Sandalwood at Dusk with its blend of cardamom, jasmine, patchouli and more. Both are rich scents that will keep noses around you guessing.
Available at DossierFor the people who’ve fallen for zero-proof cocktails and alcohol-free wines, you’ll be giddy over this chardonnay from Oceana. The brand touts it for being dealcoholized, and for it notes of young pineapple, honeydew melon, Granny Smith apple and more. It has a dry profile and tastes best alongside your favorite seafood and Mediterranean meals.
