WSJ | Buy Side is looking for fashion pro sources for men's and women's style buying guides

No AI Pitches Considered

Query:

I'll be working on several fashion buying guides at the end of Dec and January and am looking for stylists, designers, fashion content creators and other fashion experts who can make recommendations for both men's and women's picks. I am not looking for brands to recommend their own products, these should be unaffiliated recommendations.

- Shapewear

- Winter boots

- Jeans

- Flannel shirts

AskMen is looking for AskMen Grooming Award Submissions

No AI Pitches Considered

Query:

We are currently fielding product submissions for the 2026 AskMen Grooming Awards.

- This year, we are cutting the number of award categories in half. We will expand if a beloved product doesn't align w/ our list but we really want to give more love to a smaller batch of winners. (A tentative list of categories is below.)

- We test and log every product we receive. If you've submitted on behalf of a brand before, there is no need to resend a product unless it has undergone a formula change and/or introduced a new fragrance.

- A product doesn’t have to be brand new to market. I will let you know if someone on the team has already tested it, though.

- To submit: Please email a list of proposed products and corresponding award categories to [email protected]. Once greenlit, I will share the best address to send approved items to.

- Awards are generally announced in April. Should your product win, there will be licensing opportunities for the AskMen Grooming Award winner seal. Otherwise, consider it free publicity!

- Due to the heavy volume of products received, we can't confirm receipt of packages. We also do not provide individual feedback.

The deadline to receive products is January 15. This will give our team of trusted editors and grooming experts enough time to test and review internally.

Thank you, again, and best of luck!

Office products

Sustainable Business Magazine is looking for Sustainable Office Products (New Office, New Chapter)

Query:

We’re looking for sustainable office products that we can actually use day to day. Rather than filling the office with generic kit, we’d like to feature products that genuinely reflect the values we cover on the platform.

Sustainable Business Magazine has a global audience of 140,000 subscribers. Every product we accept will receive editorial coverage in the form of its own brand post, published on both our Latest page and our Sustainable Products pages, based on real use in our new office. Products provided are non-returnable, and they will be well looked after here.

What we’re looking for:

Furniture: Sustainable desks, ergonomic chairs, panel dividers, shelving, storage

Office Supplies: Recycled or biodegradable stationery, desk organisers, large mouse mats

Technology – Core Equipment: Laptops, monitors, printers, phones, energy-efficient desktops, and air-purifying systems

Technology – Workspace Solutions: Soundproof office pods, meeting booths, acoustic panels, headsets, docking stations, and peripherals

Decor: Indoor plants, sustainable artwork, natural or recycled decor

If you make something sustainable that doesn’t fit neatly into the list above but belongs in a modern, low-impact office, we’re very happy to hear about it.

Images:

We also ask for 2–4 high-quality images per product for editorial use. File size is not an issue.

The strongest products will definitely be featured as part of an 8-page editorial lead story in our January 2026 magazine issue, focused on sustainable workplaces and office innovation.

For high-ticket items, we can also offer enhanced coverage, including a Q&A with a brand spokesperson on the platform or a dedicated brand article in the magazine, providing deeper context and longer-term visibility.

If your brand makes sustainable office products and would like to be part of our new office fit-out, we’d love to hear from you.

All for men as well as women.

Now we test all we feature, it's a hard life I know. See our Christmas Gift Guides and you'll see just how much effort goes into reviewing each individual product. We can't do this on a picture alone. We test most, at the moment, in our UK office, Greatwood, but do have an office in West Virginia (which is manned mainly by sporty men so not suitable to review products like these) for food items, male items. 

Please do get in touch if you'd like to take part, you may win an award like many of your peers did.

Each week, I bring my readers a fun giveaway, and I would love to find new people to team up with for this through 2026.

Alongside each giveaway, I am happy to provide a review of your item (if you were pleased to provide two products), or I can do a general post about your brand. I make sure each of these posts is evergreen and stands alone, without competition, to make it SEO-friendly and informative for anyone who comes across the post at any time.

If this sounds interesting to you, or you have any more questions about me, my blog or how I run my competitions, please do get in touch.

Your competitors are already automating. Here's the data.

Retail and ecommerce teams using AI for customer service are resolving 40-60% more tickets without more staff, cutting cost-per-ticket by 30%+, and handling seasonal spikes 3x faster.

But here's what separates winners from everyone else: they started with the data, not the hype.

Gladly handles the predictable volume, FAQs, routing, returns, order status, while your team focuses on customers who need a human touch. The result? Better experiences. Lower costs. Real competitive advantage. Ready to see what's possible for your business?

Suncoast View is looking for New Family Friendly Tech Products for 2026

QUERY: I’m currently booking an upcoming television segment for Sarasota’s Suncoast View on ABC7 focused on new technology for 2026 with a family-friendly focus. This segment will feature new tech that families would genuinely enjoy using at home, on the go, or together. Products that have been featured at or will be exhibiting at CES are a bonus, but not required, as this segment will have a CES tie-in.

If chosen, products will receive on-air exposure during the ABC7 segment, with potential additional on social media. If your product is a good fit, I would need a sample by January 5, since the segment is scheduled to air on January 12.

While I appreciate all submissions, I am only considering actual physical products for this segment. I am not looking for quotes, pitches, or lists of ideas.

To submit, please include product details, website/press link, and sample availability.

That’s all, folks!!
