Today: A sleek, speedy electric kettle and more fall delights, including …
Tuesday will mark the first official day of fall. For some, that’s a hard-to-swallow pill. If you’re the type who’s heartbroken to put your flip flops and tank tops away, our condolences. But for many, fall can be a season of renewal — without the typical pressures that come with January 1. (Resolutions? In September? Groundbreaking!) Something about seeing the familiar crimson and russet emerging from treetops is a good reminder: A new era is upon us. If you are looking to take advantage of this transition as a time to refresh, we’ve got a handful of ideas to help usher you into a calmer season below. But first: A cozy — and very simple — hack from our colleague Melissa Clark, the new host (!) of NYT Cooking’s daily newsletter, which you can, and should, sign up for here. Because we are a household of fussy tea drinkers, we swear by this sleek, speedy kettle. It can heat water to five different temperatures to make green tea for my husband, herbal tea for our teenager, black tea for me, and two more for any future tea habits we might adopt. And here’s a little pro tip: Whenever I make hardy greens like kale, collards, or broccoli rabe, I put them in a colander in the sink and pour a kettle-full of boiling water over them to blanch before sautรฉing. Heating water in this electric kettle is extremely quick and convenient. All of our favorite electric kettles→ We independently review everything we recommend.

Here at Wirecutter, fall is marked by a significant increase in candle chatter in our Slack. I trust everything my taste-making colleague, newsletters editor Isoke Samuel, tells me, so I’ve formally added this earthy-scented, beautiful-looking, and admittedly quite pricey candle she loves to my wishlist — which is, as it sounds, a running shared note of all the things I’d like my nearest and dearest to give to me. (I hope they’re reading this).
Our gifts expert recently spent about a month following the instructions from one of our favorite self-care gifts: A set of cards designed to shake someone out of a rut. “With the season of renewal upon us,” she writes, “It may be the best time to give these crazy exercises a go.” Twenty days of commitment later — running around the block in her pajamas, counting individual grains of rice, and staring at herself in the mirror for an hour — here’s what happened. Plus more change-making gifts we’re eyeing→
Happy fall. You can reach the Wirecutter Newsletters team at newsletters@wirecutter.com. We can’t always respond, but we do love to hear from you.
