As product writers, we're trained to be more discerning than the average shopper, and to cast a critical eye on the value that millions of competing products and services claim to bring to our lives. Per industry standard, the Insider Picks team is often sent free samples for editorial consideration, some of which immediately don't hold up to our criteria for coverage and others of which set a whole new bar of expectations.
We're often asked about the best products we've tried out lately, or the functional things we use regularly. Sometimes, when they are genuinely worth it, the things we're most excited to recommend are the really cool or new or high-tech products we've tested and written about. But often, we're just as excited to share the small gadgets, clothing, kitchen tools, and tech items we've found useful in our own everyday lives.
Product writers by day, we're just like you by night, and we still shop for things we need and like. The only difference is that because we've seen and tried thousands of products, we're extra careful with where we spend our hard-earned money.
