Wellness & Gift Products for Yahoo Creators Home Refresh Guide

Aly Walansky is writing a piece for Yahoo Creators and is seeking wellness-oriented items to give your home a refresh as you enter the new year — this may include items that will help you have a more restful sleep, streamline your kitchen, get you organized, and more. She is also looking for products/services to give yourself a refresh in 2026. This can be everything from meal kits and subscription boxes to wellness items and so forth. Another request: She is seeking fun Mardi Gras-related products or gift ideas (Think shipping some perfect gumbo to someone who lives states away from Nola and misses the flavors of the city). Send an email if you have any products or ideas to pitch. Additionally, she is working on several Valentine’s Day gift guides and is looking for wellness gifts, pet gifts, food/spirits gifts, and more. To pitch for these guides, include: - Name of item - Links to major retailers where sold (include several retail options, if possible, especially major ones like Amazon) - Link to image and any necessary credits - Description why it's a fit - Item must be currently available and in stock. Be sure to start a new email thread and be clear in the subject line what specific gift guide(s) you are pitching. DO NOT just reply to the newsletter, as your email may be lost. These are all earned media (not sponsored) guides.
