Tried And Trusted: Merch with Merit Recommends Only Some Products

Zuzka Valna, a savvy shopper and housewares industry professional.

Welcome to Merch with Merit! I'm Zuzka, and I'm thrilled to share the philosophy behind my curated collection of kitchen and home products.

The Overwhelming Market

In today's market, consumers like you and I face an overwhelming number of choices. It's easy to feel lost among countless options, uncertain about which products truly deliver on their promises. Many shoppers don't have the time or resources to sift through endless reviews, leading to frustration and wasted money on subpar items.

My Approach: Research and Real Experience

I am so excited to introduce Merch with Merit! I dedicate significant time to researching products for my home and everyday life, ensuring they excel in functionality, quality, and design. It is a process that I actually very much enjoy. Coupled with my housewares industry experience, I have become the go-to person for friends and family seeking reliable and honest product recommendations, and now I would like to be the same resource for you with Merch with Merit.

Here are my Three Core Promises:

I Buy It, I Try It. I Use It, or Lose It.

Most products I recommend on Merch with Merit are ones I personally own and use. Unlike other affiliates and influencers, I'm not here to encourage unnecessary shopping or promote trendy items that don't serve a real purpose. My aim is to be your trusted resource, just as I've been for my close circle over the years.

Transparency About Ownership

Products I own and love are marked with a ribbon stating "Own & Love." While I stand behind all the products listed on my website—whether I've owned them in the past, purchased them as gifts, or they are favorites of my friends and family—this distinction lets you know which items are part of my daily life. I often even include personal notes to help you make informed decisions. Some products are on my personal wish list, and I'm so excited about them that I can't wait to share them with you! You'll always know where I stand.

WYSIWYG

What you see is what you get, both here and on social media. I don't stage unrealistic settings or present an idealized version of life. Instead, I focus on saving you time by cutting through the clutter of products to highlight those that truly deliver. I provide genuine insights into why these products make sense, allowing you to shop faster and with more confidence. I am unwavering in my commitment to authenticity and transparency.

So Why Choose Merch with Merit?

By choosing to shop through Merch with Merit, you're opting for a curated selection backed by research and personal experience. Just like you, I understand the frustration of sifting through endless options and the disappointment of products that don't live up to their claims. My mission at Merch with Merit is to simplify your shopping experience, ensuring you purchase items that are truly worth your time and money.
