Today in Gear: End Your Week Here

NASA streamed the first video from deep space earlier this month. The high-definition video was sent via laser from a staggering 19 million miles away — 80 times the distance between the moon and the earth — and featured an orange cat named Taters. It took the video just 101 seconds to reach earth: watch it here.

Today we’re taking a look at a beverage warmer, cool Sambas and the perfect popcorn. This is Today in Gear.

A Desktop Bevy Warmer

BESTINNKITS

When in doubt, get someone something useful that they wouldn’t ever buy themselves — like this smart beverage warmer ($33). Just plug it in, put it on your desk and set your mug down. No need to press an on/off switch, the warmer can sense your mug and gets straight to warming. It’s not limited to beverages either, you can also put a candle on it to release its aromas without having to light it.

A Cute Way to Carbonate

aarke

We love carbonated water as much as the next person, and we also love this aesthetically pleasing countertop carbonator. The aarke Carbonator III (from $180) features a sleek, compact design and is elegant enough to leave sitting on the counter all the time. It comes with one sparkling water machine, a BPA-free bottle, dry cloth and drip tray. The sparkler is available in an array of colors like black, copper, chrome and white.

For the Caffeine Lover

Atlas Coffee Club

Give them the gift of never running out of coffee with a coffee subscription like Atlas Coffee Club. Atlas offers up the best coffee from around the world (plus postcards from each place). You can gift the coffee lover in your life a six-month subscription for just $99. They’ll get one bag of specialty coffee per month, and you can choose between whole beans, ground coffee and even coffee that’s compatible with Keurig/Nespresso machines.

Adsum x adidas

Adsum

Yeah, Sambas are everywhere, but this pair is arguably the best. Adsum collaborated with adidas to create an elevated version of the Samba: the Samba Millennium ($150). The Millennium comes in a ‘nutmeg beige’ body that’s made of smooth leather and pairs nicely with the three stripes in a stark black. Suede toward the toe, a bright white on the outsole and multiple pops of red take these Sambas to the next level.

The Perfect Popcorn

W&P

Stumped about what to get someone? It’s pretty hard to go wrong with popcorn. W&P’s ‘The Popper’ ($20) is a collapsible bowl that helps you make the perfect bowl: expand the bowl, add kernels, put it in the microwave for 2-4 minutes and you’ve got ready-to-eat movie-ready popcorn. Pro tip: the lid functions as a measuring cup so you get just the right amount every single time.
