It turns out, selecting the best gifts for every niche relationship in life is a skill I’ll be forever honing. Still, years of discovering and writing about cool brands have left me uniquely equipped to pull out a few guaranteed hit gifts for in-laws that will make them think, wow, I’m glad there’s paperwork legally binding me to this thoughtful person.

Marlow The Pillow Sponsored If you’ve been here for a while, you’ll know we’re huge fans of Brooklinen (their washed linen sheets are a design-forward dream). Annnd you know there’s nothing we value more than a good night’s sleep. Meet the newest brand that’s a perfect overlap of the two: Marlow. From the founders of Brooklinen comes the *perfect* pillow—and we don’t say that lightly. Luxurious slumbers are likely on your in-laws’ resolutions list, and we haven’t found a more sure-fire way to get one than with Marlow’s memory foam pillows. A few reasons we’re waxing poetic about the Marlow pillows: With cooling-infused memory foam there’s no need to flip and find the cool side of the pillow. Plus, you can adjust the firmness without the mess—simply use the zippers to fit your soft-or-firm pillow preference. Cooling, customizable, and guaranteed to give you the sleep of your dreams.
