This week on the Strategist, Katherine Gillespie wrote about her love for tiny taper candles — specifically, skinny beeswax candles (traditionally seen in Greek Orthodox Churches) that were popularized by mid-century design house Dansk in the ’60s — saving you the step of “Googling things like ‘holders for very skinny candles?’ in earnest.”

Also on the site: Chantel Tattoli, a hot-water-bottle purist, raved about the colorful, non-whoopee-cushion-looking hot-water bottle you can wear; Alyssa Shelasky, a contributor for the Cut, told us about her 20-year search for the perfect deep (but not too deep) couch; Strategist writer Lauren Ro shared where she found in-season Miu Miu for nearly 40 percent off; and Portugal, the Man front man John Gourley told us about the hot-dog roller he can’t live without.

And if you’re in need of a little more inspiration, here’s everything our editors bought in February and every walking shoe we’ve ever written about (so you can refresh your pair before spring arrives). — Ashley Wolfgang, newsletter editor
