Beyoncé
Knowles all
All we’ve ever wanted was for Beyoncé to tell us how to live our best lives. So when we stumbled on this website where you ask a question and get a Beyoncé-style fortune, we were immediately obsessed.
Ask Beyonséance anything
Cinematic
deja vu?
We’ve always wanted to live in one of Wes Anderson’s symmetrical worlds. Turns out: we basically do. This Instagram account aggregates perfectly framed snapshots of real-life that look like they’re right out of the director’s playbook.

Next passport:
outer space
We’re a pretty worldly group. Basically every one of our meetings has at least three accents and one distant dial-in. So when we found out that there’s a budding space nation accepting residential applications and seeking UN recognition, we naturally thought: is the next Kettle location in space?

Dinner with
character
We love TV. We also love food. Babish and his iconic beard bring the two together in the most delicious way possible: he figures out the recipes that we’ve seen on screen, like the Rick and Morty Szechuan sauce, an Eggo extravaganza from Stranger Things, and spaghetti carbonara from Master of None.

Gay-certified
decor
If you’re redecorating (or decorating new offices, like we’ve been doing in SF) and you need a shortcut to exquisite taste, there’s an obvious answer: only buy gay-man approved furniture and decor. And now there’s an online shop that lets you easily do just that.

Too pretty

We shouldn’t even share this one: these gorgeous, delicious little chocolates are a super limited edition. Hurry up and get your order in before we take the lot.

Adorable
influencers
We’re always passing adorable things around. This year, far and away, it was hedgehogs. Hedgehogs in hats. Hedgehogs eating snacks. Hedgehogs getting relaxed. We may need an office hedgehog... TBD.
Oh yeah,
there’s more.
Bright ideas to ignite your brain (in the good way).
