WhateverTings, with a fresh perspective.
The name stays. The shop-first approach goes. Welcome to a journal about the things we use, wear, make and enjoy.
WhateverTings is an independent digital journal built around a simple idea: useful information should be clear, practical and enjoyable to read. The name and the line we have always liked — “it's the little Tings that matter!” — are staying. The focus is changing from an online shop to an editorial space.
We cover four broad areas: personal style, sound and music, everyday technology, and digital life. That gives us room to explore everything from clothing care and listening setups to creator tools, useful hardware and safer online shopping.
How we approach articles
Our aim is to explain the details that help readers make more informed decisions. We favour practical context over hype, define technical terms where possible and update articles when important information changes. Product specifications, availability and prices can change, so readers should confirm current details with the manufacturer or retailer before buying.
Our articles and product guides draw on available product information, manufacturer documentation, official guidance and relevant independent sources. We aim to explain specifications in plain language, compare features that matter and identify limitations or questions readers may wish to consider.
Frequently asked questions
Is WhateverTings still an online dropshipping shop?
No. The new direction is an independent editorial journal. The intention is to move away from a product catalogue and focus on articles, guides and carefully selected recommendations.
What topics will you cover?
Style, sound and music, technology, and digital life. The topics can evolve, but the common thread is practical information that helps people choose, create, learn or enjoy something.
Will you recommend products?
Yes, where a product genuinely fits an article. A recommendation should include a relevant image, an accurate description, useful context and a link to the seller. Affiliate links will be labelled clearly next to the recommendation.
How are product guides prepared?
We review available specifications, manufacturer documentation, official guidance and relevant independent sources. We explain what the information means in everyday use, compare features that matter and point out limitations or questions worth checking. Product details, prices and availability can change, so confirm current information with the seller or manufacturer before making a decision.
Does an affiliate link change the price?
No. A commission from an affiliate link does not add a charge to the reader. The retailer controls the final price, stock, delivery and purchase terms.
How do you choose products?
We look at relevance to the article, clear specifications, support and warranty information, suitability for the intended user and the quality of information available. A commission should not determine whether a product is included or how it is described.
Can I suggest a subject for an article?
Yes. Use the Contact page to email your suggestion or report a correction. Please do not send passwords, payment details or other sensitive information.
