Glossier's dominance is undisputed: haven't seen this level of fanaticism about a company since we all lined up for iPhones years ago 😂

Well-designed and formulated skincare products for men and women, all perfectly packaged with #glossierpink bubble mailers, stickers, and postcards. Their branding is seriously impressive.

Ryan Hoover · Answer

To those that know me: Yes, I know. Predictable. For those in the tech world, LaCroix quickly became ubiquitous despite it's multi-decade existence (VOX has a good article on this). I 💕 it because it's cheap, 0 calorie, and refreshing. The nostalgic brand is also fun. Use this site to create your own LaCroix flavor.

Growing food at home is just a really confusing and cumbersome thing to do if you've never done before, even though we've done it for like 20,000 years. You've got no idea what you need, why you need it, what's actually organic, what size pot to get, how much drainage it needs, even what to grow when and where. List goes on. It's early stage and only in Austin right now, but it sends you everything you need to start growing three organic fruits, veggies, or herbs (not from seed, but real live plants) with care guides on how to grow them – all delivered to your door. Then you can connect with other local growers for support. Great feedback so far on how nice it is to have more plants around. An app is also on its way to support the journey. Gardenio also stands for stuff like sustainability and good justice.

I have been a passionate customer, avid follower, and all-around lover of this brand for many years. Beauty Bakerie was founded in 2011 and recently received funding from Unilever. In addition to its products being unbelievable (and with a full range of colors), it's also an incredible company to support. It's a black, female owned company that makes vegan and cruelty free products. I happily give them my money. Albeit too much sometimes!

They absolutely dominate the social media marketing game (brand & influencer marketing inspo for sure). Beauty Bakerie is wonderful, and if you haven't tried them, I recommend the Lip Whips. :)

Pluto Pillows are built to your body stats, how you sleep, and what you like -- all at a fair price.

They are a "hybrid-design," constructed with a supportive inner core and an outer plush pillow, unique to an individual's sleep profile. To start personalizing a pillow, all you have to do is visit our website and fill out a quick questionnaire. Your data will run through an algorithm that will help us create a pillow for you through our patent pending process. All information provided will be confidential.

In a world of online mattress companies treating pillows as an afterthought, we want to put the focus back to where our heads lay at night.

apoogies for the long post - I LOVE www.G-RO.com (am an investor and co-founder).  powerful visual ID in a category that is largely generic.  they own portfolio of real IP.  Luggage is now a $65bn category, but only Samsonite has marketshare (11% AFTER acquiring TUMI for $1.8bn [1.6% marketshare]), and LVMH's acquisition of Rimowa ($990mm for 0.4% marketshare) values 1% at over $2bn.
