MIAMI – November 10, 2026 -- Acqualina Resort & Residences in Sunny Isles Beach has launched an exclusive collection with Italian brand Back Wellnesswear, with pieces priced from $115 to $450 and sold at the Acqualina Spa Boutique. The resort is now Back Wellnesswear's exclusive Miami partner, and every piece was designed specifically for the property.

About 20 styles for women and men

The Acqualina edition includes approximately 20 styles, drawn mainly from Back Wellnesswear's Performance line. The fabric is 80 percent Supima cotton and 20 percent elastane, which puts breathable cotton against the skin while the elastane allows movement. The resort pitches it as athleisure that works from the fitness studio to a morning beach run and onto the flight home.

PITTSBURGH – November 10, 2026 -- A Wisconsin inventor has designed a patent-pending computer mouse, called EZ MOUSE, that lets users pick which laptop or computer it communicates with, so one mouse can serve several devices.

One mouse replaces several on the desk and in the bag

The inventor, from Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, said, "I thought there should be a way to use the same computer mouse for controlling multiple laptops or computers." EZ MOUSE is built around that idea: a single mouse with a way to select the target device.

The design is meant for people who switch between a business laptop, a personal laptop and a desktop computer. It removes the need to buy a separate mouse for each device. Anyone carrying more than one device, such as a laptop plus a work computer, needs to carry only one mouse, which also lightens the laptop bag.

St. Louis – November 10, 2026 -- Fancy Feast's 2026 Feastivities holiday ornament is a golden, heart-shaped locket that opens to hold a photo of your own cat, and it can be redeemed for free in the myPurina app from Nov. 9 to Nov. 20, 2026, while supplies last.

Redemption runs for 12 days, with one ornament per person

Cat owners can download the free myPurina app and claim the ornament through its Rewards Catalog. The window opens at 12:00:00 AM CT on Nov. 9 and closes at 11:59:59 PM CT on Nov. 20. The limit is one per person.

Speed matters. Last year's 2025 Feastivities ornament ran out in the app in less than two hours. Fancy Feast is also offering a chance to win an ornament through its social channels this month.

Cologne – November 10, 2026 -- Dyson has assembled a holiday gift lineup across hair, floor and oral care, led by a limited Plum Copper edition of four hair tools that ships in a presentation box.

Four hair tools arrive in limited Plum Copper

The colorway is inspired by the rare gemstone Kyawthuit. It is available for the Dyson Supersonic Nural hair dryer, the Airwrap i.d. and Airwrap Co-anda2x multi-stylers and dryers, and the Airstrait hair dryer and straightener. Dyson says the tools combine airflow technology with intelligent temperature regulation and are built for all hair types.

Puchheim – November 09, 2026 -- The Kjavik One, a barefoot shoe from German brand Kjavik, is designed to look like an ordinary everyday shoe and comes with three insole stages so wearers can reduce cushioning at their own pace. Founder Elias Jochner built it around two hurdles that keep many people from switching: the look of classic barefoot models and the sudden change in feel.

A jogging injury turned a skeptic into a shoe founder

Jochner started researching feet, balance and barefoot shoes after he repeatedly rolled his ankle while jogging and had to pause training. He was skeptical of minimalist models at first, but his view changed over time. When he could not find a barefoot shoe that matched his ideas, he began developing his own.

That led to Kjavik GmbH, based in Munich, with models developed and designed in Berlin. The first shoe reached the market about two years ago.

Shanghai – November 07, 2026 -- Visitors to the China International Import Expo (CIIE) can see Pigeon's new Lamb Blessings Newborn Bottle Gift Set, a debut inspired by the traditional Chinese zodiac. The baby feeding and care company is attending the expo for the fourth consecutive year under the theme "Boundless Joy of Newborn."

Bottles from around the world appear together at CIIE for the first time

Pigeon has gathered its most popular baby bottles from markets worldwide. Each carries newborn blessings and draws on the company's decades of feeding research. A dedicated newborn care area covers feeding, cleansing, and delicate skin care for a newborn's daily routine.

Fullerton, California – November 07, 2026 -- The ecozy Brezzano Switch, a 2-in-1 machine that brews both espresso and true drip coffee, is now on Amazon for $129.99. A 31% launch discount brings the price to $89.69 from Nov. 7 to 30.

Separate hardware handles each brewing style

ecozy built the entry-level machine with dedicated parts for each method: a portafilter and basket for espresso, and a drip coffee basket with a mesh filter for drip. Each mode has its own brewing parameters. The company says other espresso machines in the same price range do not offer this dedicated setup.

Drip mode uses optimized pressure and water flow, plus a wide showerhead for even saturation and thorough extraction. ecozy describes the result as a rich, smooth cup with a flavor profile similar to pour-over. It brews one to two servings in 75 seconds, without the burnt bitterness or crema often found in an espresso-based Americano.

PHILADELPHIA – November 06, 2026 -- Urban Outfitters has opened its holiday gift shops in stores and online, with new Analog Gifting, Scent Shop, and Cozy Shop destinations covering apparel, footwear, beauty, and home. The launch is part of "All Together Now: More the Merrier," an omnichannel campaign built on the brand's existing All Together Now platform.

Gen Z data shapes the gift assortment

The campaign draws on UO Insiders, the brand's community of more than 10,000 Gen Z shoppers, students, and influencers. According to that group, 85% of Gen Z shoppers self-gift during the holidays, buying an average of seven to eight items for themselves. Another 78% prefer to shop with someone else.

Shea Jensen, President of Urban Outfitters, said the campaign brings together the products, brands, and experiences customers love, with new ways to discover them.
