This month, our friends at InsideHook are launching a once-weekly travel newsletter. What it won’t include: longwinded diaries about backpacking through third-world countries and people “finding themselves.” What it will include: actionable advice on new and intriguing destinations around the world, along with hacks, tips and tricks to help you jetset more intelligently. Sign up for free (and a chance to win a $500 Mastercard travel card) here.
Black Friday’s coming. A couple of rules:
1. Never go to an actual, physical store, and certainly not at 4 a.m.
2. Get online early. Technically, you’ll find better deals on Thanksgiving day (or earlier).
3. And bookmark this, our annual guide to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, a collection of 50+ brands and web shops we champion, plus a few select deals too good to pass up. (And because we love you, we’ll be updating it constantly through next Monday.)
Start now, and you’ll have your shopping done before the family’s first fight.
