That New Hotel Smell

Swag Bag Stuffers
Pretty in Protea

Just Don’t Call It A Fanny Pack
In an array of colors and patterns, this sleek, two-pocket hip pouch keeps keys, phone, sanitizer and other must-haves at hip level as the world returns to travel, events and celebrations—and misplacing small essential items.
Smart and Classic
This highly technical timepiece has the silhouette of a luxury Citizen watch—but comes with a color touchscreen dial, comfortable blue silicone strap, and access to all the health and productivity apps you need on the go, including built-in heart rate monitoring.
Everything’s Coming Up Roses
Delight attendees with a summery sucker that surpasses the Tootsie Pop. These elegant treats span eight flavors, from strawberry basil to peach marigold, but the real surprise is the “stem”—each stick is embedded with seeds. Plant it and water it. uncommongoods.com
