The knife set consists of special edition versions of Made In’s chef’s knife, utility knife and paring knife. The knives can be purchased as a set for $369 or individually.
FiFi Series 3+
Fi’s third-generation GPS smart collar is more like an Apple Watch for your dog rather than a dog collar. Like its predecessors, the Series 3+ can track your dog’s location and monitor its health and habits, such as steps and sleep. However, this newest version has a couple of key advantages. It’s integrated with AI features for more advanced habit tracking, such as licking, barking, and scratching, and can therefore serve as an early indicator of any potential warning signs. It’s also Fi’s first dog collar that fully supports the Apple Watch, so you can check your dog’s location and activity right from your wrist. Pricing is based on a subscription — it starts at $14/month.
