This holiday season, we’re searching for high-quality gifts that will deliver value for years to come. In selecting the splurge-worthy products we want to gift (or, quite frankly, that we want for ourselves), we’re focused on items we need now, but that will also deliver value and functionality for years to come. Read on for our favorite timeless investments of 2020, more than worth their initial splurge.

Our Place Always Pan

The pan that once had a 50K person waitlist -- and that’s been featured in Bon Appetit, Vogue, O Magazine, and The New York Times, to name a few -- is more than worth the initial investment. Our Place’s Always Pan is a multi-functional patent-pending stovetop system designed to replace the clutter of a 16-piece cookware set with one innovative design that does it all. We at TQE have been cooking at home more often than ever before, and the Pan’s streamlined functionality and teflon-free, non-stick surface elevate every meal (and make clean-up a breeze). We use the Always Pan at least once a day -- and in the rare moments we’re not using it, the Pan looks beautiful on our countertop in the Spice colorway.

Outer

‘Quality’ was the resounding word that came to mind when we test-drove The Outer Sofa at their offices in Santa Monica earlier this year. As seen on Shark Tank, Entrepreneur Mag, Brit+Co, and Curbed, The Outer Sofa delivers best-in-class comfort and style that rivals the nicest indoor couches we’ve owned. This is a value-driven product with a price point that reflects that. Outer has thought deeply about every aspect of its sofa, from materials and design to longevity and environmental impact. With a proprietary stain and fade-resistant fabric (and a waterproof protective barrier beneath), the Outer cushion covers are not only durable, but also extraordinarily comfortable. Outer’s clever and convenient OuterShell™ System -- an integrated cover that easily rolls out and over the cushions on each chair -- protects your cushions from dirt and debris, and ensures that your investment in this high-quality, sustainable, and functional outdoor sofa delivers value long into the future.  
New customers can use exclusive discount code Quality100 at checkout for $100 off their first Outer purchase.

Senreve

As seen in Vogue, Forbes, and InStyle; on the arm of celebrities like Angelina Jolie, Lady Gaga, and Priyanka Chopra; and the object of a 10,000+ person waitlist, Senreve handbags are more than worth the investment (and deliver beyond their cultural hype). Developed by female professionals searching for the perfect luxury handbag, Senreve’s cult-favorite styles are cleverly designed for convertibility, transitioning seamlessly from a backpack to a shoulder bag in seconds. Whether you’re looking for a compact and sleek option in a style like the Aria Belt Bag or recently-launched Alunna, or something large enough to hold a laptop like the Maestra, Senreve’s entire line offers versatility, elegance, and organizational ease for the modern woman. Senreve has also committed itself to transparent, ethical, and sustainable practices (and has a 100% Vegan collection), so you can feel good about your purchase for years to come.

Brava

Brava -- the smart countertop oven seemingly yanked from the Jetsons’ kitchen counter and plopped onto mine -- has made a superfan out of me. Gadget disdain be damned: this tool is the real deal even the most traditional home chefs will find meaningful value in. There’s a resulting exactness to the Brava that I’ve never before experienced in my at-home cooking. That perfection is hard to achieve, even for those well-versed in home cooking, and was clearly on display when I took the Brava on multiple test drives. Capable of cooking an entire meal at once on the same tray (with the help of six different heating elements), The Brava delivers consistent value in the time, energy, and extraneous kitchen tools it saves. The avid home chef will be blown away by the precise results and restaurant-grade dishes the Brava serves up. It also closes the gap for culinary novices, simplifying otherwise difficult processes in the kitchen. The Brava has earned a permanent spot on our counter: we find ourselves using the tool multiple times each day.

Italic

Italic, a new members-only retail concept that removes the branding middleman to sell luxury items at cost, is our best-kept quality secret (and with an initial waitlist of over 100,000 names, it might not be so secret anymore). An Italic membership costs $120 per year, but most customers break even on their first purchase, and save 64% compared to leading modern brands. Offering more than 1,000 top-quality products for home, men and women’s clothing, accessories, and shoes, Italic eschews the typical retail markup model, and only makes money on the cost of membership itself. Because Italic uses the same manufacturers as luxury labels, the quality of each product is competitive, and retains its functional value for years to come: it’s a fantastic option for the no-frills consumer who just wants their stuff to work — and last.

Judy

If there’s one thing we’re more than eager to invest in this year, it’s our safety and disaster preparedness. After feeling overwhelmed by the need to prepare for unforeseen emergencies in the wake of a global pandemic (not to mention fires and earthquakes in California), we found the answers to our anxieties in JUDY, the chicest, easiest, and most effective preparedness kit out there. What truly sets JUDY apart is that it’s incredibly user-friendly; the items in The Safe and The Mover Max are all intuitively separated into clearly-labeled boxes for easy and quick access. What’s more, each kit comes with personalized emergency alerts for your entire family. JUDY sends videos and updates on how to prepare your family for any kind of emergency, and has incredible customer service—you can text them 24/7 with any questions. My 2020-inflicted disaster anxiety is a thing of the past; JUDY did all of the heavy lifting of research, curation, and organization, saving my time and potentially my life in the process—they’re a modern-day superhero in a bright orange box.
