10 Things That Delighted Us Last Week: From 150-Year-Old Soaps to Mini American Girl Dolls

We write about hundreds of products each week. Here, in our version of the Sunday circular, we've plucked some of our recent favorites: expert-recommended essentials, life-changing stuff you didn't know you needed, newly launched gizmos, and very good deals we uncovered while trawling through the vast online-shopping universe -- including Gap's CashSoft cardigan that's made to feel like cashmere (without the upkeep), an expandable Alessi trivet for holiday feasting, and a collab between Tulip and West Village alterations shop Eva Joan Repair.
