5 Unleash your inner Eloise at Midtown's iconic Plaza Hotel.
The Plaza, A Fairmont Managed Hotel
Don't make your kids wait for a bar mitzvah invite to visit the Plaza in Midtown. Instead, delight them with an overnight stay in the Eloise Suite.
Designed by fashion royalty Betsey Johnson, the fanciful suite gets its inspiration from Kay Thompson's famed 1955 tome, 'Eloise,' about a girl who resides at the Plaza hotel.
Guests will enter a world of pink and white, complete with a neon sign above the bed, a welcome letter from the titular character herself, some sweet treats and pink lemonade. Guests can also read books from the 'Eloise' series, play with themed dolls and sport Eloise-inspired clothing, including a gift bag containing an 'Eloise' tote and sweatshirt.
From $1,895 per night. The Plaza, 768 Fifth Ave.
Brick house
5 At Legoland in Goshen, NY, there's a fun theme park, but also imaginative hotel rooms.
LEGOLAND New York
Head northwest from NYC about 90 minutes and you'll arrive at Legoland, Orange County's crown jewel for kids. The theme park has a heck of a hotel on its grounds too. Rooms for a family of four come inclusive of Legoland park tickets and free breakfast, but youngsters may not even want to leave the room thanks to a designated sleeping area for kids with an entertainment center, bunk bed and pull-out trundle, Lego bricks and an in-room treasure hunt activity.
Each room has a special Lego theme that visitors can select at booking — Kingdom, Pirate, Lego, Ninjago or Lego Friends.
The hotel also has a seasonal resort-style pool and nightly kids entertainment.
From $546 per night. Legoland New York Resort, 1 Legoland Blvd., Goshen, NY
Nights on Broadway
5 Curl up like everyone's favorite kingly cat at the Hilton in Times Square.
Drew Gorrie
Post up Simba-style at 'The Lion King's' Royal Suite at the Hilton in Times Square and enjoy a slice of Pride Rock in the concrete jungle. The one-bedroom deluxe suite is brimming with nods to 'The Lion King' on Broadway, such as large woven basket art, plants reminiscent of Africa's plains and hand-painted Rafiki-inspired patterns on furnishings.
'Aladdin' aficionado? Book the 'Aladdin' suite for a chance to experience your very own Agrabah.
Both suites sleep up to four with a king bed and pullout sofa, and in either one you'll be a stone's throw away from the two famed Broadway shows to complete your Disney-themed jaunt.
From $399 per night. Hilton New York Times Square, 234 W. 42nd St.

Just 22 Products From Etsy You'll Fall In Love With
A cozy blanket inspired by Taylor Swift's surprise song piano from The Eras Tour. This is the first summer in two years without an Eras show on my calendar or a livestream to tune into (a cruel summer, indeed), so the next best thing? Snuggling up with this blanket while watching the concert film (and waiting for the release of The Life of a Showgirl...) A pack of freeze-dried ice cream sandwich bites because freeze-dried candy has sufficiently taken over your FYP, so it's time to turn it up a notch, à la everyone's fave ice cream truck treat. A miniature Stanley-inspired keychain that also happens to be a lip balm holder!!! How neat! The best part is that, unlike the beloved cups, your balm won't spill out, and this won't run you nearly as much money. A photo print appropriate for hanging above the spot in your home where you and your BFF love to yap. It's not your fault you have a lot of gossip to share, life lore to impart, and complaints to get off your chest!!! A Crocs-inspired candle (yup, you read that right) sure to earn you a compliment from each person who sees it. These look so realistic, you might be tempted to try one on, but these are better suited for enjoying a sweet scent. (Just don't try sniffing your sweaty Crocs.) A pufferfish squishy toy whose annoyed lil' face is far too relatable — however, unlike this sour tiny dude, once you play with him, you might just find your own frown turns upside down. A customizable Love Island-inspired water bottle you'll want to keep close by next time you ask a loved one if you can pull them for a chat in Soul Ties or The Speakeasy. are all my fellow Amaya Papaya stans at?! A versatile linen dress bound to become your new favorite wardrobe piece. It's perfect for weddings, walks along the beach, and rooftop bar drinks after work. My apologies to all of your other dresses that will never see the light of day once this perfect item arrives. A cheeses of the world tea towel because if you're gonna have a tea towel worthy of showing off to guests, it should be one that's as informative and wonderful as this cheesy goodness. Sound off in the comments which of these is your fave. I'll go first: Gouda. An abstract painting painted by an actual 175-pound sulcata tortoise named Tiptoe. Imagine how FUN it'll be to tell your loved ones the backstory of your newest piece of wall decor!!! A social battery sliding enamel pin you'll wanna make part of your daily #OOTD so that your family and friends know if it's safe to begin a yap session with you or best to keep their distance. A tufted cushion that can be used to create a cozy floor-based reading nook or placed on a bench or windowsill for an off-ground comfy upgrade. Now that you have an ideal spot to relax, perhaps you'll finally work your way through that ever-growing TBR list. A pair of huarache sandals you'll be excited to rock with jeans, skirts, palazzo pants, and dresses galore! Not to mention, these are basically compliment magnets because everyone who sees these will remark on your impeccable taste in footwear. A jelly frog soap that is so darn squishable, you'll forget that be used to wash your hands. Honestly, you may wanna keep a "normal" soap on the side, because no way are you gonna wanna do anything but admire this sweet bb next to your sink. Oh, and did I mention it smells like MINT CHOCOLATE?!!!! A set of Crocs charms you can get personalized with photos of your fur bb's face. You already spend so many hours wearing these beloved shoes, add your dog or cat's precious lil' face to the mix, and you'll want to glue your Crocs to your feet going forward. A set of fairy lights that might just put an end to your social life. How?" you ask?! Well, these lights are sure to turn your living space into the most cozy spot in town, so you'll never want to leave home once you have these. (Go ahead, get drinks with your squad at the bar. The lights will still be there when you get home, promise.) A teddy bear matcha bowl for the cutest way to make your delicious morning matcha. I know that this can't technically make your bev taste better, but I do think your drink will be so much sweeter knowing this lil' cutie had a hand in helping to make it. A camera lens flower pot that'll make for a truly photoworthy piece of decor. Taking a gorgeous plant and placing it in this unique vase? That's what I call picture perfect. 📷 Custom photo magnets for a more polished way to display mems on your fridge than flimsy photo prints barely holding on for dear life from plastic magnets you found at the dollar store a few years ago. A Y2K-inspired punch needle coaster because if your coasters look this cool, then your friends and family *may* just be more inclined to actually use one for their drinks. Now the question many will you buy and which ones will you choose?! An insulated tumbler to keep the drink of the summer (IMHO, year) nice and cold as you take your sweet time sipping on it. May not be sitting in the Italian countryside with a bowl of freshly made pasta to accompany it, so my pool in the suburbs and a Kraft Easy Mac cup will have to do. A pair of bubble and wand earrings that may just transport you back to the glory days of spending hours outside trying to blow a bigger bubble than the last — without the soapy mess, of course. If you're looking to boost your ego and fish for some compliments on a given day, these are your ticket!

I'm 48 — here are 13 (incredibly flattering) dresses I want to buy from the Reitmans 40% off sale
Until Sunday, August 17 at 11:59 p.m. EST, save 40 per cent on tops and dresses at Reitmans. If you're Canadian, you might be familiar with Reitmans. The brand is known for its smart, sophisticated clothing that doesn't break the bank — but until recently, I'd never actually stepped foot in a store before. As a busy mom of two, I'm usually ordering clothes online from Amazon, but during a recent emergency trip to Walmart (where I also snapped up this stunning wicker chair — on sale!), I stumbled into a Reitmans in the same plaza — and I was blown away. I ended up trying on more than a dozen dresses, and was surprised how well they fit my 48-year-old body. For me, aging isn't just about gaining weight; it's more about weight shifting (thanks, menopause!). That stubborn mom pooch won't budge no matter what I do. But the way these dresses fit and fall made me feel like the best version of myself. Even better? They're all on sale until Sunday, August 17, and they come in a wide range of sizes from XXS to Sunday, August 17 at 11:59 p.m. EST, save 40 per cent on tops and dresses at Reitmans. Check out some of my favourite Reitmans dresses for summer 2025 (and beyond!) below. Split-Neck Shift Dress I love the playfulness of this striped dress. Its non-stretch woven fabric feels like linen, and those short flutter sleeves provide just the right amount of coverage. It's such a cute dress that you can easily pair with casual flip-flops or dressier wedge sandals, taking you from day to night in a pinch. However, one reviewer mentioned that the dress is "very see-through," so definitely keep that in mind when choosing your undergarments. $24 $60 at Reitmans Puffy-Elbow-Sleeve Dress with Split Neckline This chic shirt dress is so easy to style, and features a removable sash, so I'm also looking forward to pairing it with a thicker leather belt. The dress runs big — I'm wearing an XXS, and it was still a bit loose — so keep that in mind when deciding on sizing. $21 $75 at Reitmans Sleeveless Square-Neck Midi Dress The moment I slipped into this vintage-inspired dress, I was all set for a fun day out with the girls. The midi length is perfect, and the bodice hugs my curves for a super-flattering fit. $28 $70 at Reitmans Sleeveless V-Neck Maxi Dress This was my favourite dress of the bunch. The longer length and V-neckline fit my smaller frame so comfortably, and the high elastic waistband showcased my curves in the best way possible. Plus, I really appreciated the support from the thicker straps, making it a fantastic option for a variety of bust sizes. $38 $100 at Reitmans Cap-Sleeve Mini Dress with Square Neckline One reviewer called this dress a "summer must-have" — and I couldn't agree more. The capped sleeves and self-tie back give it such a unique style. Plus, the waistline falls a little higher, keeping it from landing right on my mom pooch. $21 $75 at Reitmans T-Shirt Dress I'm obsessed with T-shirt dresses — they're so casual, cute and comfy. I tried this on in a small, but I'd probably size down to an XS for a less oversized fit. You can cuff the sleeves for a quick coffee run or throw it on over your bathing suit for a fun day at the beach. And hey, if I'm too tired to change at the end of the day? It doubles as a cute sleep shirt. $21 $60 at Reitmans Short-Sleeve Buttoned-Down Dress with Shirt Collar This "super soft" collared button-down shirt dress is the very definition of low-maintenance style. I can wear it with sneakers, sandals or even heels! Come fall, I'd pair it with tights and cowboy boots. $42 $70 at Reitmans Sleeveless Fit-and-Flare Dress The crochet bodice of this fit-and-flare dress is a total showstopper. I also appreciated the 100 per cent cotton lining, and who doesn't love a sweetheart neckline? While I loved the look of the adjustable knit straps with buttons, I noticed the buttonholes got a bit stretched out, causing the straps to loosen. For that reason, I'd recommend sizing down to prevent any wardrobe malfunctions. $24 $80 at Reitmans Cap-Sleeve Buttoned-Down Midi Dress with Cinched Waistband This dress didn't stand out on the rack, but I was so glad I tried it on. The capped sleeves and split neckline with a shirt collar fit perfectly. Also the cinched waistband kept it from being too drapey, giving it a more tailored look. And let's talk about the button-down front. It really makes this longer dress a bit sexier. It's such a fun dress, easily taking you from work to play. $48 $80 at Reitmans Milkmaid Midi Dress with Bubble Sleeves Reitmans is really nailing it with the sweetheart necklines. The versatility of the short bubble sleeves makes it a great work or play dress, and it'll work well into fall. I also really like the zip closure in the back, which helps the dress fit more securely. It is roomy on top, so if you are small-chested like me, I would size down. $54 $90 at Reitmans Sleeveless Midi Dress This A-line maxi dress is effortlessly flattering. I also love the elastic neckline in the back, making it much easier to get on and off. The seam pockets are, of course, a major plus. I can totally see myself wearing this for a casual night out. I might even shake things up by adding a thick belt for a more tailored look. The soft viscose-nylon blend fabric is ideal for those humid nights when you don't want anything touching your skin. With its timeless style, it's no wonder 91 per cent of reviewers recommend this dress. $45 $75 at Reitmans Extended-Sleeve Shift Dress with Split Neckline The rounded hem of this flowy shift dress makes it such a fun choice, especially combined with the bold pattern. I used to shy away from patterns, but as I've gotten older, I've found them to be very forgiving. This crinkly fabric is great for travel — no ironing required! $36 $60 at Reitmans Extended-Sleeve Midi Dress with Ruched Side There's no such thing as too many little black dresses. This one, with its ruched side and sexy slits, is perfect for a day at the office, or a night on the town. The bodycon silhouette adds a playful touch to this stretch knit dress. I'm also very into the extended sleeves for those days when you want a more modest look. It's not too tight, either, so I won't feel self-conscious about it hugging my body in all the wrong places. $21 $60 at Reitmans

27 Things To Bring To A Housewarming Party They Will Actually Appreciate And Not Just Shove In A Cabinet And Forget About
A bubbly glass vase so they don't have to place all the gorgeous bouquets they're bound to be gifted in a drinking glass. The seven-inch vase is big enough to add a lil' bright accent to a room without drawing too much attention and would look downright lovely on a side table or shelf. And, much to many reviewers' pleasant surprise, it has the *perfect* dimensions to display the iconic Lego bouquet set. Moss wall art that'll be a unique take on the classic houseplant with zero responsibility and all the same green, earthy energy. The pet-safe moss is preserved, so absolutely no watering, sunlight, or trimming is required (just a light dusting now and then). And, because the cedar wood comes in all shapes and sizes, each spongy masterpiece is truly one of a kind. An Amazon Echo Dot, a small but mighty speaker that makes the day-to-day tasks of running a home just a little easier. There are *tons* of ways to use this device — not only can it play music and attach to home systems, but it's voice activated and does smaller tasks like searching the internet, keeping track of lists, and setting timers or alarms! The possibilities are truly endless, and as a bonus, it's sleek, lightweight, and unobtrusive. A Turkish hand towel that'll add a fresh pop of color to their kitchen and give their perpetually damp dishcloths a break. The towels are made of 100% Turkish cotton and hand-woven in a flat weave, meaning they're thin and lightweight, but still absorbent and quick-drying (basically, helps prevent that musty towel smell). And, the seller offers custom name embroidery in the color of your choice, which is just the cherry on top for making them feel extra special. A set of Brightland extra virgin olive oils so you can spoil the bread-dipping connoisseur in your life. Each bottle has its own flavor — "Awake" works best with hearty meals (think, crispy potatoes) and "Alive" has a more ~grassy~ taste to drizzle over greens or sorbets! Both are cold-pressed and made with early-harvest olives (for a stronger flavor!) and are perfect for zhuzhing up a home-cooked meal. As a bonus, the opaque bottles not only protect from damaging UV rays, but look *super* chic on a counter. Maldon sea salt flakes, a little gift with a *big* impact. Reviewers rave about how crunchy and flavorful this is as a finishing salt, both on meals and desserts. The packaging is not only resealable for max freshness, but the pretty design makes it worthy of a coveted spot on the kitchen counter. And, if you don't trust the reviewers' praises — Queen Elizabeth II herself appointed the company a Royal Warrant, a symbol of excellence, making them the *official* supplier of sea salt to the Royal Family (the salt world runs deep, y'all). A ceramic pedestal bowl, because nothing says ~homeowner~ like having a designated spot to put fruit. The minimalist design adds a little elegant *oomph* to a space while being simple enough to be versatile — reviewers have put it in their entryway for their wallet and keys and even used it as a "water trough" for their dogs. Very innovative. A stunning pair of sun and moon stained-glass bookends for the friend who somehow always knows what's going on with the stars. These celestial beauties are set in a sturdy wooden base and handmade with real glass, which can actually be interchanged with other designs offered by the seller! The unique pieces are sure to give a daily dose of dopamine — even if Mercury is in retrograde, or something. A set of retro vinyl coasters that are stored in a mini record player, because who doesn't appreciate small versions of big things, especially when they're functional? They're made of *actual* PVC and have a non-slip rubber backing and grooves to help keep condensation from spilling over. Each record has its own old-school, punny rock title, like my favorite hit song... "Hotel Cauliflower!" A custom address stamp to give their home the official ~seal of approval~. The gift set comes with a self-inking stamper, a black ink cartridge, and a gift certificate that lets them customize their new stamp design! It'll really help speed up the process for all the thank-you notes they'll lovingly send out after being showered with gifts, or even... invites to the next party. 👀 A set of cat salt and pepper shakers for anyone sharing their new space with their kitty friends (and who would never say no to more). The mischievous pair is hand-painted and made of ceramic that reviewers say feels nice and sturdy. They're also just a cute way to add a little whimsy to a kitchen, even if they're most definitely up to something... The Essential Book of Cocktails to *shake up* a mixing enthusiast's homemade blends. The book comes with over 400 recipes to try, guides to entertaining and setting up a home bar, interesting essays about the history of different drinks, *and* looks great as a coffee table (or bar cart!) book. And hey, if they get so inspired by your gift they start whipping up a lil' something then and there, it's a win-win for everyone. Tell Me More, a conversation-starting game perfect for anyone who's been dreaming of finally hosting in their new space. The deck has 52 cards meant to spark interesting, thought-provoking conversations between people, with prompts that can easily be interpreted based on comfort levels. Reviewers say the cards work equally great as ice breakers between strangers or as a way of getting to know friends (or family!) on a deeper level. As a bonus, the small box has a super cute, minimal design and would look great on a coffee table. An Oster electric wine opener, because a new home calls for celebration without the huffing and puffing and twisting and pulling — just for the cork to break apart anyway. This gadget will take away the hassle for the friend who loves a glass with their meal (and is learning a thing or two about ~pairings~), and since it can open up to 30 bottles in one charge, it is especially perfect for anyone who loves to host! The Official IMDb Top 100 Movies Scratch Off Poster for the film-loving friend who's ready to break in that new couch with a cozy night in. The movie selection is based on millions of IMDb user ratings, with each film having its own mini poster that can be scratched off to reveal the colorful artwork underneath. Not only is it a fun (and decision-free!) way for them to explore new genres, but it doubles as a unique poster that keeps track of everything they've seen (and possibly got into passionate debates about, because what do you mean Princess Mononoke beat Howl's Moving Castle...). A sunrise alarm clock because while moving is *super* exciting, it can also take a littleee time for someone to adjust to sleeping in a new space. The clock works by gradually brightening up a room, with three optional, non-aggressive (I'm looking at you, Radar) alarms, like bird chirps, available. At night, it works as a dimmable lamp and even plays white noises to fall asleep to — perfect for muffling out all the ~mysterious~ cracks and creaks of their new home. All the functions are super customizable and can even be set on a schedule, so it doubles as a great way to help them settle into a new routine! Their circadian rhythm will thank you. A custom book stamp for the friend who had you climbing flights of stairs carrying boxes filled with their endless TBR collection. (😩) There are 34 designs to choose from — like a ~medieval sword~ for the fantasy lover that lives and breathes A Court of Thorns and Roses. Whether they have space for the towering shelves and rolling ladder of their dreams or not, a one-of-a-kind seal will help make their home library feel extra special. A Glow & Grow kit — if you can't decide between the classic candle or houseplant, why not choose both? This two-in-one gift comes as a fresh, nature-scented candle, and when it's burned down, can be used as a planter! It even comes with the seeds of your choice, whether that's cute daisies or basil for the friend who loves to cook. It truly is the gift that keeps on giving. A Marshall amp key holder so even your friend's entryway can match their super cool, music-loving vibe. The "Jack Rack" uses *real* amplifier parts and, best of all, comes with four jack plug key rings that can be easily (and, according to reviewers, very satisfyingly) clicked into the wall-mounted amplifier! Who knew keeping track of keys could be so rock star? A miniature frog garden statue to guard your friend's front porch and greet any guest who visits their home. This lil' pal works hard during the day gathering energy with its solar panel back, and at night enjoys the fruits of its labor with a glowing cup of joe. It also has a certain wise, stern energy that will keep your home-owning friend in check now that they've moved out of their parents' place. A home putting green because now that your friend has settled into their new space, they can re-focus on what really matters — improving their short game. This 3'x9' mat has a slight incline to help mimic the feel of a real course, three holes to practice different angles, a non-slip backing that keeps it stable during practice, *and* built-in hazards to catch the strays. Best of all, it can be easily rolled up and put away so it won't clash with their carefully curated decor. A Lodge enameled Dutch oven — *the* definition of a versatile kitchen workhorse and quite possibly the only pot they will ever need. This six-quart cast iron is an alternative to Le Creuset with all the same weight, heat distribution, and retention (to help prevent burning), and vivid color. The non-stick interior makes the pot easy to clean, and with the proper care, it has the potential to become the next family relic. Generations to come will be thanking you every time they bake bread, or braise short ribs, or slow-roast beans... seriously, the possibilities are endless. A freakin' crab utensil holder to wield your friend's saucy spoons and keep their counters drip free. The little cooking companion is made of a heat-resistant silicone with a rotating body to control where any mess goes *and* doubles as a steam releaser. It's cute, functional, and many reviewers have grown very attached. Oh, and its name is Red, btw. A set of reusable patterned napkins, because paper towels are *so* two apartments ago. The pack of 12 contains a random assortment of the seller's slightly misprinted designs, but they're just as cute and eye-catching as the originals. They're equally perfect for complementing the ~fancy~ dishes during dinner parties or to whip out when their new takeout spot forgets to include napkins. A Brooklinen super plush robe so they can take a break from the moving frenzy by plopping onto the bed post-shower and scrolling TikTok for an hour... or two. The robe is made of 100% Turkish cotton, giving it that ~luxurious feel~ and making it extra soft, durable, and absorbent. Sure, they may have a mountain of boxes somewhere waiting to be unpacked, but this thing says, "I've got it alllll under control." Fake it 'til you make it, y'all. A set of shower steamers to create a luxe, spa-like experience in the comfort of their own (new!) home. The tablets are infused with real petals (that reviewers say leave no stains) and essential oils that gradually release with the steam of a shower. Each also has its own scent for different moods — like lavender, to wind down after a particularly long day of lifting boxes, or eucalyptus and mint, to wake up the next morning when it's time to unpack... The Pink Stuff cleaning kit, because as Monica Gellar taught us, friends don't let friends get mildew. This holy grail pack comes with the essentials for keeping that ~new home~ feel, like low-effort bathroom cleaners, pink (!!) microfibre cloths, and the iconic paste, which fights stains like nobody's business without that strong chemical smell. As your friends know, there are few things more valuable than your cleaning wisdom, which will *probably* change their life (or at least, their cleaning game).
