CARAWAY COOKWARE SET
These four pots and pans are as functional as they are pretty. Our cooks loved the comfy handles and wide surface area, noting that food reliably slid out time and time again. "The nonstick quality is great, and the included pan rack and lid organizer make it a fantastic value," a tester says. The pieces are ovensafe up to 550°F and come in a myriad of colors. $395; carawayhome.com
Best Bath Towel
ITALIC SERENE ULTRAPLUSH AUSTRALIAN COTTON BATH TOWELS
After we evaluated 99 (!) towels in our lab, a tester took the 22 best home for a deeper look. "The Italic towel stood out because it has a dense, weighty feel that alludes to luxury-but it's an absolute steal," she says. In the lab, it earned a perfect score for absorbency, soaking up four ounces of water in 10 seconds and drying in 90 minutes. At home, stains washed right out, and softness lingered without any signs of wear. "It's a true luxury towel that costs less than expected," the tester says. $52 for 2; italic.com

Modern Manners Advice for Your Social Dilemmas
My friend often reaches out with texts like \"Hey! Are you free on Saturday?\" The issue: I don't know whether she's asking if I'm free to hang out with her or if I'm free to dog-sit or babysit.
