Query:
I’m working on an upcoming Yahoo feature focused on bougie, unconventional, or seemingly “over-the-top” wellness products that sound questionable at first but deliver meaningful results.
I’m seeking information from brands offering wellness products that
appear unconventional, indulgent, or borderline excessive
have strong consumer adoption or cult followings
deliver tangible benefits related to sleep, stress, recovery, energy, or daily habits
are designed for at-home use
Products may include (but are not limited to): sleep tools, recovery devices, heat or cold therapy, nervous system regulation tools, wellness tech, beauty and skincare products, supplements, or habit-forming wellness products.
For consideration, please provide:
Product overview and intended benefits
Price point and availability
Any clinical data, testing, or third-party validation
Media-approved images or press materials
retail link to shop online. (Must be able to shop online and ship nationwide)
P.S before you read on… Appearing in these publications will help your store appear in organic Google search results. That’s as long as your listings are optimized and not working against you.

AskMen is looking for AskMen Grooming Award Submissions

Category: Gift Bags

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!

Why AI Isn’t Replacing Affiliate Marketing After All
“AI will make affiliate marketing irrelevant.”
Our research shows the opposite.
Shoppers use AI to explore options, but they trust creators, communities, and reviews before buying. With less than 10 percent clicking AI links, affiliate content now shapes both conversions and AI recommendations.

Whimsy Soul is looking for Olympic brand collaborations + shoppable athlete merch

Category: Lifestyle and Entertainment
EMAIL: [email protected]
MUCK RACK URL: https://muckrack.com/whimsysoul
MEDIA OUTLET: Yahoo
MEDIA WEBSITE: https://yahoo.com
DEADLINE DATE: 9:00 PM ET - 14 January
No AI Pitches Considered
Query:
I’m working on an upcoming Yahoo feature covering Olympic brand collaborations fans can actually shop this winter Olympics, inspired by the rise of athlete-led unboxings and Olympic Village hauls on TikTok and Instagram in recent games. Example: during the last Summer Games, content featuring athletes like Ilona Maher wearing Team USA–branded pieces from brands such as SKIMS drove significant consumer interest when those products were also made available to the public. Olympic viewing has become increasingly shoppable.
For this upcoming Olympics feature, I’m seeking information from brands that are:
- Launching Olympics-inspired or Team USA–adjacent collections
- Partnering with Olympic or Paralympic athletes
- Seeding athletes with merch that fans can purchase
- Releasing limited-edition items tied to the Games, host city, or national teams
If you or your client have relevant launches planned, please share:
- Launch timing
- Product details and price points
- Lookbooks and media-approved images
- Athlete partners or teams involved, if any
- Links to shop or expected go-live URLs
Thank you

Are there sustainability considerations, availability issues, or sourcing tips buyers should know?

Your insight will be featured in a comprehensive guide aimed at homeowners, interior designers, and furniture enthusiasts seeking to make informed choices for luxury furniture investments.
Wishing you all the best for 2026!
