Dear recipient

See what has been trending! 🔍

Health: Vulnerability & Mental Health
El País published a piece on October 12, “A Generation in Crisis: Why Are Young People So Unhappy?”. In it, Soufi refers to a study from the U.S. scientific journal PLOS ONE, on how young people are currently the most dissatisfied age group. Soufi’s article puts the spotlight on mental health and also social media - similarly we see mental health trending in TRNDSET.

Creators openly share 💬 mental health struggles, grief, trauma, and personal growth through intimate, story-driven formats such as Storytime, Open Letters, Grief or Memorial posts, Personal Vlogs, and lifestyle content.

Key drivers include the 🫶 normalization of discussing private pain, 💭 community validation, and the 🌱 inspiration drawn from transformative life moments — as such, the trend can pivot into transformation posts, home makeovers, and wellness journeys.

Food: Red wine…
Christmas is coming, and so the content race is starting - what trend will take the win? Last years it was all about candy cranberries and their ASMR pops🍿.

We have found a fun one! You know the ongoing debate about french fries with soft ice? Maybe Christmas will get its own version. Enter: red wine with ice cream. Searching on TikTok it does seem to not be a new thing as there are older videos from 2021 and forward. However, there is content coming in. So maybe the world just wasn’t ready for red wine with ice cream for Christmas, before now?

Is it an acquired taste? Most likely. Will it have the same chokehold on us as last year’s candy cranberries? Who knows.

Try it yourself — and report back. We know we will 🍨🎄.

🌰 Home decor: Autumn wreaths
Across social feeds, autumn wreath making and seasonal decor content are flourishing 🍂✨.

Creators share DIY tutorials and step-by-step guides using natural elements like maple and chestnut leaves, acorns, moss, heather, pinecones, and twigs — as well as upcycled items such as wine corks or jar lids to create cozy door wreaths and fall embellishments.

The trend blends tactile creativity with sustainability, emphasizing warm fall color palettes, cozy-inspired aesthetics, and a sense of mindfulness through hands-on making 🧶🍁.

Posts often include crafting tips, drying and binding techniques, and process videos paired with reveal moments of the finished piece. Perfectly tailored for soothing, shareable content.

We hope you enjoy the read - have a great week.
