Aly's Newsletter: Tuesday Edition
Good morning, friends!
Whewwwww...I’m finally out of Black Friday and Cyber Monday insanity and now can focus on...well, everything else I wasn't doing that whole time.
Here's what I'm working on today!
1. For TODAY.com, I'm rounding up deals, discounts, and freebies for National Cookie Day. If you represent a chain doing anything in honor of this day, please email me ASAP today (I hope to wrap this story up by this afternoon, and it’ll be published later today.)
2. For AllRecipes, looking for experts to share tips to make your bedroom more comfortable. Also interested in product pitches related to this, as far as products that enhance your bedroom in some way - bedding, lighting, scent, etc. (This one is due by EOD today, 11/30.)
3. For RetailMeNot, working on the two following VALENTINE'S related stories! (Yes, I know, believe it or not!)
Best Galetine's Day Gifts for 2021
Pets Need Love, Too! Purrfect Valentine's Day Gifts for Pets
For both of these, I would super appreciate any pitches by the end of this week. For the pets one, think in the sense of gifts the pets will enjoy, not that will benefit us. i.e. cute pet outfits may make US happy, but not them.
3 - For SPY.com I'm working on of the following this week
Best gifts for writers
Best holiday gift baskets for men
Best cookware sets
Best Bluelight glasses
(The SPY stories I hope to have all pitches for by Thursday EOD, but earlier is always better, because if I get everything I need before then, I will wrap up sooner)
Here's what has published since yesterday:
Clean Plates
These High-Protein Soups Will Give You Lasting Energy
Food Network
Get a Taste of The Rock’s Cheat Meals
Mariah Carey and Milk Bar Join Forces to Launch a Dreamy Holiday Cake
The Kitchn
You Need to Try Martha Stewart’s Recipe for Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies This Holiday Season
Have a great day!
(And I expect a new batch of gift guide assignments from one of my outlets today, so there may be another newsletter sent out later today…)
