Product Submissions for Girl Mom Gift Guide — Jewelry, Books, Keepsakes

Best Gifts for the Girl Mom This guide will celebrate that unique mother–daughter bond: the moments of matching, mirroring, and growing together with gifts that make both moms and little girls feel seen, connected, and adored. Here’s what I’m looking for: For Moms: - Sentimental girly jewelry (like initial necklaces, birthstone charms, or mother–daughter sets) - Matching girly loungewear or pajamas that feel chic, not cheesy - Self-care gifts with a girly flare that offer a moment of calm — think candles, body oils, cozy robes, or bath rituals she can actually enjoy - Books or coffee-table reads that reflect motherhood, identity or raising girls in today’s world - Girly Keepsakes and custom art — family portraits, heirloom-quality frames, or personalized illustrations For Girls (and their moms to share): - Books that highlight strong female characters, emotional intelligence, or the mother–daughter bond - Beautifully made play sets — tea parties, dress-up trunks, or art kits that invite imagination - Matching accessories like hair bows, aprons, or bracelets that feel special without being too “matchy” - Creative kits or puzzles moms and daughters can do together — baking kits, sewing sets, or DIY crafts - Keepsakes like photo albums, memory boxes, or personalized art - Toys and creative kits that foster independence, confidence, and joy — without being overly gendered or cliché If you have a brand, product, or book that fits this category, I’d love to see it. Please email [email redacted] with: “Girl Mom Gift Guide” in the subject line Product name Link to product (Amazon or Skimlinks preferred) Price 2–3 sentence description of why it’s a great fit for moms and daughters.

Beauty & Fashion Product Experts for Hello Gorgeous! Fall Features

Upcoming Hello Gorgeous! features I could use product/experts for include: - The best eyebrow pencils: Has anything changed in color or formulations? Which are the best and why? And what are some brow trends we’re seeing now? While we’re at it, any new dyes or treatments for grey eyebrows? Any new microblading treatments we should line up for? - Fall lips: HMU with your new products, colors, formulations! - At-home haircolor: My readers want to know about new treatments, how to achieve the best results and how to choose a new color. - Everything eyeliner: Any new products we should be aware of? Any colors or application tips we never thought of? - Chrome everything: Why are we all so crazy for chrome and iridescent products? What are some trending looks and is there a way to add a bit of chrome to your overall look without overdoing it? - Crossbody bags/totes: Are we really looking at all brown bags for fall? What are some other colors we can choose to add a bit of warmth to our fall look? - Fleece: Are there any new textiles/colors/styles that you can wear to update your snuggly look? - Winter coats: Are we moving away from puffers to more streamlined looks? What should we be looking for this season? - Expert on leggings: I’m only being partially facetious. I’m told that the young ‘uns are moving away from leggings to great big poofy pants. I’m thinking this might not be a Gen X thing and would love to hear from anyone with big thoughts on the topic (or flattering, comfy pants to recommend). - Socks and tights: Any new colors, fabrics, or trends we should be talking about? - Hats/scarves/gloves: What are the colors, textures, and trends we should know about? - Jewelry & jewelry stacks: Are we still all about the stack? (My extremely sparkly earlobes say yes, but I’d like to hear from you!). What are some gemstone and gold trends to be aware of? How can we mix up our metals for winter? Any ring or bracelet trends to know about? - Crafts: What’s trending in crafts? Any new techniques or kits we should be aware of? - Culture/pop culture: Please send me your best new books, music, streaming suggestions and let me know if your clients/artists are available for interviews or a comment or two. - Mattresses: Help me with my guide to the best in bed (as it were). What are people looking for in new mattresses? How much should we be spending? How often should we replace our mattresses? - Clogs and slippers: Please tell me what’s new in comfort and what’s too hideous to even contemplate. And can we wear them publicly with or without socks? - Reclaiming your inner minimalist: What do you need to have a functioning home/apartment? How many sets of bedding, how many pots and pans? What are some great products that allow you to splurge without going overboard? I’m interested in things like bathroom towels, kitchen essentials and a few over the top ideas. Please send pitches to [email redacted] with the topic of your pitch in the subject line. Please don’t respond to this email, it will get lost in the shuffle. Please don’t use trackers in your pitch, I’ll just hit delete.

Gen Z Fashion Shoppers for MyKolkata Telegraph Story - Kolkata

Dear Gen Z connections, I'm going to work on a fashion trend story exploring whether Gen Zs are opting for online shopping, flea markets and thrift stores instead of malls. If you're a Gen Z and would like to contribute to the article, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the following areas: 1. Do you prefer buying clothes online or from thrift stores instead of shopping offline? Is it the wide variety, ease of choosing at your own pace, price margins or sustainable fashion that attracts you? 2. What do you think online or thrift stores can offer that malls cannot? If malls want to win back Gen Z, what should they do differently? 3. Do you follow influencers or creators who recommend thrift finds or online bargains? Can you name some? 4. What role does social media play in your shopping choices? Do you go for Instagram ads for clothes when they pop up? 5. Are there any challenges you've faced while shopping online or thrifting? P.S. This will be published in the MyKolkata section of The Telegraph Online. It would be great if you can provide the responses by July 28. You can either DM me here or email the answers to [email redacted] #journorequest #kolkata #media #fashion #genz
