SHOP STORIES
This page is our permanent home for every product we link in Instagram Stories. Stories disappear after 24 hours, so we copy each link here and sort it by category. It updates several times a week. Scroll to the room or category you need, or use your browser’s find function to search a keyword.
The most common message we get is some version of “I saw a thing in your story yesterday and now it’s gone.” That is not you missing it. That is how Instagram works.
A story link lives for one day. Then it is gone, along with any note we added about sizing or which color we actually bought. This page exists so nothing gets lost.
What is on this page?
Every product we have linked in a story, grouped by category, with the newest additions at the top of each section.
We keep the short note that ran with the original story where it was useful. If we said a rug ran small or a lamp needed a different bulb, that note comes along.
- Everything we linked, not just the items that sold well
- The color or size we own, when it matters
- A flag when something is discontinued or the listing has changed hands
- The closest current match when the original is genuinely gone
How often does this page update?
We add new links two to three times a week, usually the morning after the story runs.
Once a month we sweep the whole page for dead listings. Home and kitchen links break more often than you would expect, because sellers rotate stock and Amazon in particular reassigns listings.
If a link is dead and we have not caught it yet, tell us. That is genuinely the fastest way it gets fixed.
How do I find a specific thing I saw in a story?
Three approaches, in order of how well they work.
- Search the page. Press Ctrl+F on Windows or Command+F on a Mac and type a word like “hamper” or “sage.” On a phone, tap your browser menu and choose Find in Page.
- Go by category. If you remember the room but not the item, jump to that section below. Sections are ordered newest first, so a story from last week is near the top.
- Message us with a detail. “The white ribbed one on the bathroom shelf” is enough. We can usually find it in a minute.
How do you shop from creator links without overpaying?
Worth saying plainly: a link is not a recommendation to buy today. Prices on the big marketplaces move constantly, and a lot of what gets called a sale is not one.
Here is what we do before we buy anything ourselves.
| Check | Why it matters | How to do it |
|---|---|---|
| Price history | A “40% off” badge often sits on top of a list price the item never sold at | Use a browser extension or price tracker to see the 90-day low before you buy |
| Seller identity | On marketplaces, the same listing can be fulfilled by very different sellers | Look at who ships and sells it, not just the brand name in the title |
| Sizing and dimensions | Photos are staged; the listed measurements are the truth | Read the dimensions in inches and hold a tape measure against your actual space |
| Return window | Windows vary by seller and shrink around the holidays | Find the return terms on the listing before checkout, not after |
| Three-star reviews | Five-star reviews say “love it”; one-star reviews are often shipping complaints | Filter to three stars for the honest list of tradeoffs |
| Material, not finish | “Wood tone” and “marble look” are photography, not construction | Find the materials line in the specs; if there isn’t one, treat that as an answer |
One more habit that saves money: if you would not buy it at full price, a discount does not make it a good purchase. It makes it a cheaper mistake.
Why do some links go to a different site than the one you mentioned?
Retailers change. An item we found at one store often turns up cheaper or in stock elsewhere, and we link wherever it is actually available.
When a product is sold in more than one place, we link the one we would buy from, which usually means the better return policy rather than the lowest price by a dollar.
Do you make money from these links?
Yes, on some of them, and we would rather say so up front than bury it.
Some links on this page are affiliate links. If you buy through one, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. The price you pay is the same either way.
What that does not change: we link things we bought with our own money or would happily buy. Commission rates vary by retailer, and we do not sort this page by which link pays best. When something is a gifted item or part of a paid partnership, it is labeled in the story and again here.

Frequently asked questions
How long do Instagram story links stay live?
Twenty-four hours. After that the story moves out of the main feed and the link is no longer tappable unless we save it to a highlight. That is exactly why this page exists, and why we copy links here the morning after rather than trusting highlights to hold everything.
Why is a product you linked showing a different price now?
Marketplace prices change daily, sometimes hourly, and we have no control over them. If the price looks higher than what we quoted in the story, check the price history before buying. Most items that spike come back down within a few weeks.
What do I do if a link is broken or sold out?
Send us a message with the item name. Broken links usually mean the seller pulled the listing rather than the product disappearing, and there is often an identical item under a new listing. If something is truly discontinued, we add the closest current alternative to that category section.
Do you only link things you have actually used?
Mostly, but not entirely, and we mark the difference. Items we own and have lived with get a note about how they held up. Items we are linking because a reader asked or because they are a reasonable option in a category are described that way, without a claim about long-term use we have not earned.
Can I request that you find something specific?
Yes, and these requests shape a lot of what we link. Tell us the room, the budget, and the constraint that is making it hard, such as a narrow doorway or a rental you cannot drill into. Those details are what turn a search into a useful answer.
Is there a faster way to get the links than checking this page?
Our newsletter goes out with the week’s links in one email, sorted the same way this page is. It is the same content, delivered instead of visited, which suits people who do most of their shopping in one sitting.
