Here on the Refinery29 Shopping team, we see it all. All the new arrivals , all the top sellers , all the sales , and countless pitches on products ranging from snow boots to butt spas . We spend our days combing the inventory of retailers big and small, looking for the must-haves that will help our readers solve a problem, feel their best, or indulge in some self-care. (We also occasionally buy things for ourselves in the process.) All of this researching, browsing, and buying has given us a pretty good handle on what’s a good value and what isn’t — so you better believe that when we do see a stellar buy, much cross-cubicle chatter ensues.
