The holidays are about more than presents but let’s be real. Who doesn’t love a good gift?

Our selections this year, independently selected by our team of product testers, span the gamut from budget-friendly gems to quiet luxuries, all with an eye toward quality and novelty.

BlenderBottle 2-in 1 Shaker Tumbler

It was perhaps only a matter of time before someone brought the Stanley Quencher’s surprising appeal to a protein shaker. Available in four colors, this 24-ounce execution looks excellent, thanks to a leak-proof lid, stainless steel insulation and BlenderBottle’s trademark whisking ball. And hey, having the option to swig or sip your protein, via the 2-in-1 spout, for less than 30 bucks is a pretty compelling flex any way you shake it.

Bitmo Lab

Bitmo Lab Gamebaby

Apple’s decision to allow emulator apps earlier this year immediately made the iPhone an excellent option for replaying Gameboy games, granted you were ok interacting with a touchscreen or were dedicated enough to keep a Bluetooth controller close at hand. Bitmo Lab’s Gamebaby offers a different solution. It’s an iPhone case with a removable bottom panel that can be flipped and slid on the bottom front half of the iPhone. Once it’s in the correct position, the d-pad and physical buttons apply force to the right spots on the iPhone’s touch screen while running the Delta emulator app, providing the feel of a physical controller without requiring any Bluetooth pairing or battery drain.

Grab it directly from Nalgene while supplies last. A separate patch with the same logo is also available.

Vice Tour Golf Balls

If you’re unfamiliar with Vice as a brand, Golf Digest’s description of “the one-time small discount direct-to-consumer ball company that has gone on to become an edgy lifestyle brand with a global presence” pretty much nails it.

After its rapid rise in the coffee industry, Fellow is slowly starting to wade into other drink categories. The company’s new 10 oz. Lowball Tumbler is made from 18/8 stainless steel and can keep beverages cold for up to 12 hours or hot for 3. But like the company’s older Carter line of cups and mugs, it also boasts a ceramic coating to eliminate the “old penny” taste of stainless steel from ruining your drink. The wide opening and flat bottom are designed to fit a “standard whiskey cube” – though we’re not exactly sure what that means – while a so-called swipe-to-sip lid should help prevent spills. It’s available now in Matte Black, Stone Blue, and Matte White color ways.

The Driving Machine: A Design History of the Car

The Driving Machine is part an exploration of the evolution of cars, blending history, design, and culture, as well as a personal narrative. Tracing 170 years of automotive innovation, Rybczynski highlights key models that defined eras, from Carl Benz’s groundbreaking three-wheel motorcar to the rise of electric vehicles. He brings to life the stories of visionary designers and engineers who shaped the industry, from Henry Ford’s mass-produced Model T to the chic Mini Cooper. Rybczynski also examines how cars embody national identity, such as Italy’s Fiat Cinquecento, and subcultures like the iconic VW bus during America’s counterculture movement. By unpacking key technological advances, he shows how cars are a result of relentless innovation and trial-and-error. With personal anecdotes about the cars he’s owned and whimsical illustrations, Rybczynski’s book offers a different take on how the automobile transformed society and our sense of style.

Amazon Echo Spot (2024 Edition)

Amazon has revealed an updated take on its Echo Spot device, which we thought the e-commerce giant had abandoned after failing to update the original design since 2017. This Spot looks sharp, though, and borrows much of its industrial design from the Echo Pop budget smart speaker. Like the previous version, it’s tailor-made for nightstands with a small display and speaker capable of showing helpful information like the time, weather, smart home controls, and music info. Thankfully, Amazon has removed the front-facing camera, which raised privacy concerns with the first-generation model. It’s available in black, glacier white and ocean blue.
Patron

Patrón Cristalino

You’ve probably heard of tequila styles like blanco, reposado, and añejo tequila. Cristalino is a lesser-known style that combines what blanco and añejo tequila offer in many ways. It involves filtering aged tequila (often through charcoal, a la Jack Daniels) to remove the colors and some of the stronger woodier flavoring notes that the barrel aging process typically adds to the spirit. Patrón‘s take on the style leans even further into the “pure” vibes of the style and is made only from three ingredients: 100% Weber Blue Agave, water, and yeast. The spirit then ages in four different casks for 12 to 15 months. According to the brand, the taste profile is “sweeter” with “big, woody notes without overpowering the baked agave flavors.”
Nintendo

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

For once, this Zelda game revolves around Princess Zelda vs. Link. Aesthetically, it looks a lot like the recent remake of Link’s Awakening. At the same time, the gameplay borrows at least some ideas around summoning and manipulating objects popularized by the latest AAA Zelda release, Tears of the Kingdom. The result is a satisfying and low-key game that’s great for anyone looking to play something that doesn’t require 40+ hours to complete. Metacritic gives it a 85 overall rating.

The Ring Battery Doorbell is an improved version of its battery-powered video doorbell. Compared to the Ring Video Doorbell 2 (now discontinued), the new model features a longer battery life and a redesigned mounting system for easier charging.

Victorinox Travel Essentials Packing Cube Set

Sometimes, it’s the little things that count. Victorinox’s new set includes three bags of various sizes that are expensive compared to other packing cube options. But this is also the first time we’ve seen packing cubes feature an expandable design for storing extra purchases made on a trip or compressing down softer items to save space.

The Roar of the Angel

LFA – The Roar of an Angel

Our love of the Lexus LFA is no secret. Back in 2016, we called it the greatest car Japan has ever made. So we’re more than intrigued by this 272-page large format book about the iconic ride, written by none other than the car’s chief engineer, Tanahashi Huruhiko, and funded by an LFA super fan. Based on over 12 years of notes and insights from Tanahashi-san, this is a painfully detailed and personal account of developing one of the most remarkable cars of the century. It’s bound to be a fantastic gift idea for any design or motoring fan you know and will likely be a coveted collector’s item at some point when it eventually goes out of print.

Logitech Keys-To-Go 2 Portable Bluetooth Keyboard

Logitech has revamped its portable keyboard, which is designed primarily for tablets and cell phones. The most significant changes include an integrated cover that protects the keys while traveling, helps raise the keyboard slightly off a flat service when used, and a wedge case design with 1 mm travel scissor keys. The keyboard is also more than an inch narrower from the front to the back edge, making it easier to hold and store in a bag. But it’s also slightly heavier than the previous generation by slightly more than an ounce. It can pair with up to three devices and switch between them via the Easy-Switch keys. Two layouts are available: a universal version for Android, ChromeOS, Windows, iPadOS, iOS, and MacOS, and a dedicated Apple layout for iPadOS, iOS, and macOS. Lilac, Pale Grey and Graphite are the three available colors to choose from.

Twelve South

Twelve South PlugBug with Find My

This is the world’s first charger with built-in support for Apple’s Find My technology, which means users can geolocate it on another Apple device if it’s misplaced or lost. Combined with an ultra-slim form factor perfect for packing and squeezing into tight spaces, it looks like a winner for frequent travelers dedicated to Apple’s ecosystem. A 50W version with two USB-C ports is a smaller, more affordable option for charging phones and tablets. The 120W four-port version can charge more gadgets at once or provide up to 120W to a single device for fast charging power-hungry items like an Apple MacBook Pro. A PlugBug Travel edition of both sizes is slightly more expensive, and ships switchable adapter plugs for the US, UK, EU, AU, KR, and CN, as well as a travel case.

The case has a USB-C port and supports the company’s pass-through charging technology, so it’ll first recharge your iPhone and then recharge the case.

The AirPods 4 with Active Noise-Cancellation are Apple’s midrange wireless earbuds. They have the same open-air design and fit as the entry-level AirPods 4, as well as the exact same sound quality. However, the exact $50 gets you some pretty notable upgrades — including noise-cancellation and transparency modes. The other big improvement is the charging case supports wireless charging and has built-in speaker (for Find My). This is the lowest price they’ve hit so far.

Outerknown Terra Nova Moleskin Shirt

Flannels tend to get all the attention in the world of overshirts, but Moleskin deserves more credit. The soft brushed material feels great on the first wear and only gets softer as it breaks in. Outerknown’s take is available in a variety of nice standard neutral colors, but this camo version is the most unique of the bunch.

Reebok

Reebok Nano Court Training Shoes

While they’ll technically work well for tennis, padel, racquetball, or badminton, the rapid rise of pickleball was the critical driver Reebok had in mind with this release. A herringbone-patterned Griptonite rubber outsole provides the traction needed to start, stop, and cut, while a Flexweave upper adds extra support around the ankles to ensure wearers stay on the platform during side-to-side motion. There’s also a clear toe guard for protecting against toe scrapes. The shoe is available online in eight colors in a unisex and women’s version. While the white and black iterations look clean, the colorful retro editions stand out, especially the version that harkens back to the company’s Court Victory Pump in the early 90s by Michael Chang.

Canyon Tempr CFR Cycling Shoes

German direct-to-consumer bike maker Canyon’s first-ever cycling shoes include a three-bolt option for road cycling and a two-bolt option for gravel and Mountain biking. Canyon sees the new lineup as a premier offering, given it’s bestowed the shoes with its Canyon Factory Racing (CFR) label, which has previously only appeared on the company’s top-of-the-line carbon frames. The apparent goal was to build footwear that maximized comfort and power while eliminating hotspots producing foot slippage. Cyclists will also recognize many high-end components on these shoes made from other brands, including BOA aluminum closures, Solestar insoles, and Vibram Megagrip soles. The entire line is now available for purchase through Canyon’s site.
Google

Google Nest Thermostat 4th Generation

Google has overhauled one of the most influential smart home devices ever made for the first time since 2015. Physically, it’s far slimmer, sporting a 2.7-inch screen over double the size of the last-gen model while still keeping its famous rotating dial. Upgraded software takes advantage of that additional screen real-estate via a new Dynamic Farsight feature, which will display more detailed weather and home temp stats as you approach it and rich weather animations. It’s also compatible with Matter over Wi-Fi, which means it’ll also finally work natively with Apple’s HomeKit smart home systems. Black, silver, and gold options are available.
Anker

Anker Prime Charging Station (250W, 6 Ports, GaNPrime)

Anker’s latest desktop charging station is the most power-user power station we’ve ever seen. The standout feature is a dedicated control knob for dictating how the charger’s 250W flows to charger’s four USB-C and two USB-A ports. While a default AI Power Mode will work to optimize charging speeds based on the number of devices connected, a port priority mode also allows users to choose two ports to maintain full power output regardless of other connections. Similarly, Laptop Mode will ensure that two laptops are connected via USB-C and will keep charging priority. Finally, a low current mode is available for slowly topping off connected devices while preserving battery longevity. The device’s integrated screen displays charging information for each port and can also function as a small desktop clock when a screensaver mode kicks on.
Wilson

Wilson RF-01 Tennis Racket Collection

The RF-01 racket project began back in 2022 while Roger was still playing. He requested a racket with a faster head speed to suit his all-court style and help him compete with younger, heavy baseline players. Once he retired, the tennis icon turned his attention to what other players might want from a racket. The final result is a collection of three new rackets designed for everyday players looking for the best. The RF 01 PRO, as the name suggests, is Roger’s personally built professional-grade racket and the most expensive option. The RF 01 is slightly cheaper and designed for players looking for a standard-weight racket. The final RF 01 FUTURE is the most affordable version. It’s a lighter take on the design intended for younger players interested in a balance between weight and power.

The whole system also charges over USB-C.

Apple Watch Series 10

The 10th generation of the Apple Watch finally brings notable hardware changes fans have been waiting for. It features the largest display ever on an Apple Watch, even bigger than the Ultra 2. The screen is now also a wide-angle OLED, making the watch easier to read at an angle and in bright light. It also features a faster refresh rate in low-power mode, allowing watch faces to show seconds ticking away. Size-wise, the series 10 is coincidentally 10% thinner than the previous Series 9 and 10% lighter. Apple has improved charging, too, so that the watch can go from 0 to 80% in 30 minutes. Lastly, the baseline aluminum and new titanium versions embrace a shiny, polished aesthetic in various colors, including black.
Sneaker Law

Sneaker Law V2

This tome was made by sneakerheads with legal degrees, including the former general counsel at YEEZY Apparel, for future sneaker entrepreneurs and fans of the culture interested in a deep dive into the industry’s inner workings. The new sequel to the original version, launched in 2020, features a black leather and blue foil stamped “V2 Blue” colorway. More importantly, it’s more than twice as long as the original version, making the book, in the writer’s own words in an interview with Hypebeast, “an all-encompassing encyclopedia for the sneaker business.” You can score a copy now directly from the writer’s website.

The Kanto Ora 4 are the Canadian audio company’s new powered desktop speakers — they’re essentially slightly bigger versions of its acclaimed Oras. They work exactly the same, connecting to your computer via USB-C and also supporting built-in Bluetooth (for streaming from your smartphone), but have a larger woofer, more power output and cost $50 more. Announced at CES 2024, they’ve finally available now.

Hoka Transport Chukka GTX

Hoka designed the Transport as an everyday sneaker that looked good around the city but wasn’t averse to traversing off the beaten path. And it worked really, really well. Earlier this summer Hoka transformed its best daily sneaker into a rugged fall boot. The new mid-height variant raises the bar — along with the cuff, making it great for added ankle support and warmth.
DJI Goggles N3DJI

DJI Goggles N3

The DJI Goggles N3 are the company’s most affordable FPV goggles — $120 cheaper than its previous budget pair, the $349 Goggles Integra, and half the price of its $500 Goggles 3. They can be paired with the DjI’s newest budget-friendly drone, the $199 Neo, to give novice drone pilots a taste of the FPV experience, letting you see what your drone sees while piloting it.

Amazon Colorsoft KindleAmazon

Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition

The Colorsoft is Amazon’s first color Kindle. It’s essentially the same e-reader as Amazon’s new 7-inch Paperwhite — which is bigger, faster and $10 more expensive than its predecessor — but features new LEDs for color and increased brightness. It’s able to show things like book covers and images in color. It allows you to highlight lines and paragraphs in colors, too, and then search for them later on. Like the new Paperwhite, it supports fast page-turning and wireless charging.

Portable monitors are a growing category designed to compliment the lifestyles of remote work. This 15.6 OLED screen is considered the best in the business right now. It also has a built in carrying case that makes it travel like a large tablet. We like too that it can function in both portrait and landscape mode and comes with its own built-in stand.
Level Lock+ (Matter)Level

Level Lock Plus (Matter)

The Level Lock Plus (Matter) looks nearly identical to the company’s previous smart locks — meaning that it doesn’t look “smart” and blends into your door. The difference, however, is that the Lock Plus now supports Matter, meaning it can be integrated into any smart home ecosystem (such as Apple, Google, Amazon, or Samsung) and doesn’t require you to have a separate Wi-Fi bridge.
Sonos Ace HeadphoneSonos

The Sonos Ace is the company’s first pair of wireless noise-canceling headphones. They sound great and are incredibly comfortable to wear. Additionally, for those with a Sonos soundbar, you can quickly swap your TV’s audio to these headphones for a private listening session.
Away

Away The Softside Medium

Like the hard-sided bag we’ve dubbed the best overall carry-on bag for years, Away’s new Softside collection features a compression pad, telescoping handle, 360-degree wheels, and a drawstring laundry bag. It also comes in the same size options as its hard-sided cousin. How the bags open, though, is notably different, albeit familiar to anyone who’s used soft-sided luggage before. Instead of a traditional clamshell design, a front zippered top flap opens to provide access to the main compartment. It also boasts discretely integrated exterior pockets. Currently all colors are also on sale.
Nike Elite EasyOn BackpackNike

Nike Elite EasyOn Backpack

Developed for Nike’s Paralympic athletes and finally available for purchase, the Elite EasyOn underwent years of prototyping ahead of its debut at the Games in Paris this summer. The Elite EasyOn introduces a novel modular strap system that opens up a world of carry options — and not just for disabled athletes.Users can quickly swap between a pair of backpack straps to a single sling or streamlined wheelchair straps, while patented clasps near the top of the bag allow them to widen or narrow the fit.The bag is also extremely easy to open thanks to a peel-top magnetic enclosure and full clamshell opening, both of which make the bag a breeze to use with a single hand, even among users with two.

Now back for 2024, and with a handful of new tricks up its sleeve, the Hudson falls a little lower than a Trucker jacket to offer extra protection in inclement weather. A removable hood — newly added for 2024 — and warm flannel lining double down on the premise, while the moleskin-lined collar and cuffs result in a more premium jacket overall.
Forme

Forme Revive Bra

Forme is making waves in women’s sportswear for good reason. This unique sportsbra was designed by an orthopedic surgeon to help his mother battle poor posture and compressed lungs from cancer.

The Seiko 5 has been one the best sport watches under $500 on the market. This GMT version makes the value proposition even stronger by offering the ability to keep track of two timezones at once.
Everlane

Everlane The Linen Blazer

The blazer provides an appealing mix of formal and informal detailing. It’s partially lined in just the sleeves and shoulders and features shoulder pads for a bit of structure. But it’s also machine washable and even treatable with non-chlorine bleach if needed. Its versatility, washability and approachable price make it our current all-around pick.
Yeti

Yeti Cast Iron Skillet

Similar to the skillets Butter Pat Industries used to sell, Yeti’s new line is made in the USA and are cast smooth by hand, instead of machined down — or worse, simply left rough like sandpaper. Because the skillets are void of machine marks, they take to seasoning exceptionally well, and delicate foods like eggs or fish can be cooked right out of the box. (The pans come preseasoned with beeswax and grapeseed oil to help cooks along.) The 8-, 10- and 12-inch skillets are available now on Yeti’s website.

The WinterCommand Ultra is a Studless Ice & Snow winter tire developed for drivers of sedans, minivans, crossovers and SUVs looking for wintertime traction in snow and ice, combined with wet and clear road traction in colder temperatures.

Whether you’re a burgeoning influencer grinding out content or a parent sick of being a mobile tripod for FaceTime calls with grandparents, the Insta360 could be a lifesaver. Like any good gimbal, it can help video footage look smooth while moving. But it’s also the first gimbal equipped with DockKit, Apple’s proprietary subject-tracking technology. Just tap an iPhone to pair if via NFC, pop the iPhone into the gimbal, and the motorized gimbal can rotate 360 degrees and intelligently zoom in and out to keep subjects in frame. Insta360 says the device will work with the iPhone’s native camera, Facetime app, and third-party apps.

Two of our favorite Portland-based outdoor brands have teamed up yet again on a versatile camp blanket ideal for cooler fall camping moments spent hanging around a fire. One side of the throw-sized blanket features fire-resistant Snow Peak recycled fabric, while the other sports recycled Rumpl 20D ripstop nylon. And for those moments when a fire isn’t close, Rumpl’s proprietary NanoLoft insulation that mimics down can keep you warm in temperatures 45 degrees or above. An integrated Cape Clip even allows users to wear the blanket like a cape, while a handle and cinch straps make it easy to pack up and carry back to the car.

Janji Rainrunner Pack Jacket 2.0

Boston-based running brand Janji updated its Rainrunner Pack Jacket for improved protection against rain, snow and whatever else winter decides to throw your way. The updated version features a laminated shell, fully taped seams, adjustable scuba hood, dropped-hem splatter guard and articulated cuffs that stay in place mid-stride. Like the rest of Janji’s gear, the Rainrunner Pack Jacket 2.0 is free of PFCs and PFAS — aka “forever chemicals.” The Mongolian-Manchurian steppe inspired a limited-edition seasonal colorway, Steppelands.
Bose SoundLink Home Portable SpeakerBose

Bose SoundLink Home

The Bose SoundLink Home is a portable Bluetooth speaker that looks old school thanks to a metal body and fabric grille. It lacks any app compatibility, so it should be straightforward to use. And, as it doesn’t have a water-resistance rating, it’s meant predominantly to be listened to indoors. It costs $219 and is available in silver or grey finishes.

Osprey Poco SLT Lightweight Child Carrier Backpack

GoPro’s new flagship action cam features the same 8:7 sensor as the GoPro Hero 12 Black. What’s new here revolves around extra shooting capabilities and accessories that should expand what users can capture. Magnetic mounting and charging capabilities, three new interchangeable lenses, a 10% boost in battery life, and Wifi 6 compatibility for faster transfer speeds are all exciting improvements. The new shooting modes available are all focused on slow-mo video, including 400fps at 720p, 900p at 360fps, and 5.3 at 120fps. It’s available for pre-order now and will ship on September 10th.

Persol PO0202S Senna Series

While Steve McQueen will forever be the celebrity most associated with Persol sunglasses, he’s far from the only icon to rock the classic Italian brand. Another Persol fan was the late Brazilian F1 driver, Ayrton Senna. This year marks the 30th anniversary of Senna’s tragic passing, and a new Netflix series about the driver’s life has reignited interest in his legendary style. In collaboration with Netlflix, Persol has launched a new series of sunnies inspired by the archival pair favored by Senna during his racing days. Like the originals, the bold shades feature a unique dual bridge complete with an acetate “sweatband.” The rebooted sunglasses will appear on screen in Netflix’s Senna when it begins streaming on Nov. 29, but you can buy your own pair from Persol now starting at $454.

Oris ProPilot X is one of the cleanest-looking watches to launch in the last few years. It’s made of titanium, which is super light to wear and highly durable. It’s available in a variety of striking dial colors, too. We particularly like the salmon pink dial version, which was well ahead of this year’s pink watch trend. This is a rare sports watch that a couple could share and equally love.

Is anything left to be said about the Eames chair? This is one of the most iconic pieces of furniture to come out of the 20th century and is a must-have for any furniture aficionados (if you can afford it).

Dyson

Dyson Wash G1 Wet Floor Cleaner

Dyson release its first mop this year. Even more surprising is that it doesn’t use suction at all, relying instead on battery powered “mechanical agitation” to scrub stains and pick up debris. One tank of water should cover 3,100 square feet.
Leica

Leica Q3 43

This is in many ways a riff on the original Q3 launched in May 2023. It’s nearly identical outside the longer, aspherical APO-Summicron 43mm f/2 lens attached to the front, a grey leatherette coating and a number 43 engraved into the hotshot. It is also 15 percent more expensive than the original price point of the Q3. Nevertheless, the new focal length is a crucial change for photography fans pining for a premium camera with a field of view that does its best to mirror the viewport we naturally see through our eyes. Read the full review on DPReview.

Outer Infinity Chaise Lounge

The release from Outer may qualify as the Bentley of lounge chairs. While it looks like a standard piece of poolside furniture, its innovative Infinite Recline System makes it easy to fine-tune the recline position with the tap of a small side lever. Its other innovation is a patent-pending Sling Tuning System that makes it easy to tighten, loosen or replace the sling fabric, making the chair easier to maintain and tweak to your seating satisfaction.
Roomba

Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock

The brand synonymous with robot vacuums has revealed its first Matter-compatible smart vac. While the tangible benefits of that tech standard might not be substantial today, it does mean the vac is more future-proof and should integrate well with smart home systems and gear long into the future. The device itself is also a robust cleaning machine paired with the company’s most advanced dock to date. It’s capable of basically doing everything for you. It’ll vacuum and mop your floor, empty its dust bin, refill its mop water tank, and even clean and dry the mop.
Weber

Weber Searwood 600

Smoke, sear, roast and more — all with one grill. True to its name, the grill’s searing capabilities are an obvious differentiator. However, plenty of other features make Weber’s pellet grill stand out in a crowded field. The Searwood’s extensive temperature range of 180 to 600 degrees means users can also smoke or roast to their heart’s content. And, except for the initial start-up, they can do it all remotely via the Weber Connect app. Hands-on cooks can also keep tabs on cooking temps with the grill’s built-in LCD controller.The Searwood’s internal RapidReact controller can also heat the grill to temperature in 15 minutes or less and helps the grill quickly regain temperature whenever the lid is opened. It continually monitors and adjusts the temperature while cooking, too.

The KEF LS50 Meta are one of the best bookshelf speakers you can buy. They’re essentially passive versions of the company’s lauded LS50 Wireless II — they’re identical and feature the same Uni-Q driver array, which places a 1-inch tweeter inside a 5.25-inch woofer. They are available in three color options.
Pro-Ject T1 Evo turntablePro-Ject

Pro-Ject T1 Evo

The Pro-Ject T1 Evo boasts three big upgrades over its predecessor. First, it features an upgraded Ortofon OM10 MM phono cartridge instead of the T1’s Ortofon OM5E MM phono cartridge. (For reference, the OM10 MM on the Evo model goes for $75 on its own, which is $15 upgrade over the T1’s OM5E.) Second, the T1 Evo features a larger sub-platter — it’s the same size sub-platter as the ones in Pro-Ject’s higher-end Debut series — which should help with dampen vibrations, speed control and, ultimately, improve its sound. Finally, the T1 Evo features an electronic speed change, so you don’t have to remove the platter and physically adjust the belt every time you want to switch between 33 RPM and 45 RPM speeds. Instead, you press a side switch.

One of the greatest examples of mid-century modern design left standing is the TWA Flight Center at New York’s JFK Airport designed by the legendary Eero Saarinen, the man behind the Womb Chair and Pedestal Table. The building renowned for its space-age themes and organic curves, with a central feature being its hanging, three-sided clock made by Swiss watch brand Vulcain. Now, Vulcain has issued a home version of the clock in table clock form. The retro desk clock is crafted from stainless steel and features three quartz-powered clock faces, with each capable of displaying a different time zone.

The third generation of NAD’s flagship M10 streaming amplifier shares the same gorgeous design, high-end streaming abilities and price as its “V2” predecessor. However, the new model features an upgraded DAC and supports Dirac Live room correction technology. Significantly, it adds a dedicated phono input (MM), making integrating a turntable easier. 
Sony

PlayStation 5 Pro

The rumored and expected late-cycle update to the PS5 is finally out in the open. The new PS5 Pro is aimed at diehard gaming fans who obsess over frame rates. Sony considers the new system “the most visually compelling way to play games on PlayStation.” That’s all made possible thanks to a beefier GPU, which offers 67 more Compute Units than the current PS5, as well as 28% faster memory. Together, these spec bumps make rendering up to 45% faster, at least for games optimized for the new machine and featuring “PS5 Pro Enhanced” labels. Advanced ray tracing support and AI-powered upscaling will also help improve the look of older PS5 and other legacy titles. Strangely, the PS5 Pro doesn’t include a 4k Blu-ray drive like the original PS5, though including a 2TB hard drive and Wi-Fi 7 support are meaningful hardware perks.

Specialized Turbo Vado SL 2 6.0 EQ Carbon

Anyone looking to invest in a premium e-bike for daily commuting should put this near the top of the list. The Vado SL 2 6.0 EQ Carbon is powerful, with a max speed of up to 28mph, but also very easy to use. It can also handle 40 minutes of total commuting for a week straight without a recharge in eco mode thanks to a 520-watt battery and weighs just under 40 pounds, which is feathery for an e-bike with this power and range. A few other bells and whistles top it off, including a large heads-up display, front light, an integrated smartphone app for ride customization and stats, Apple Find My support, and built-in anti-theft capabilities.
Herman Miller

Herman Miller Aeron Chair

The Aeron is the chair against which all other chairs are measured. Not even the worthy competition on this list can challenge its status as the most influential office chair of the modern era. Released in 1994, Aeron is the chair that bookended a shift in task seating design from a form-first to function-first industry. Its critical, commercial and cultural successes are many. It ushered out clean lines in favor of shapes contouring to the human body and was the first hugely successful mesh chair. It is among the most customizable designs ever conceived. It’s earned a permanent place in the Museum of Modern Art. It’s even 94 percent recyclable, a feature years ahead of its time. Though the Aeron chair is no longer the seating du jour, in style and function, its importance and power are unrivaled.

Thule’s premier hitch-mounted bike rack is beefy enough to haul even heavy e-bikes. But it’s also incredibly fast and easy to use thanks to its telescopic bike attachment system.

Panerai

Panerai Submersible QuarantaQuattro

This gorgeous white-dialed dive watch from Panerai offers all of the distinctive aesthetics and tool watch capabilities that make Panerai well known. But at 44mm, it’s also sized right and much more manageable for a broader range of wrists than classic Panerai models. Versions are available with both a black or olive green rubber strap. We recommend grabbing both, given how much each strap can dramatically change the watch’s look.

The Gozney Arc XL pizza oven redefines backyard cooking with industrial-grade performance. Boasting a spacious cooking surface and robust heat retention, it delivers authentic wood-fired flavor.

This is the Mercedes G-Wagen of Aluminum luggage, and that’s not just because the products share a boxy, metallic look. Plenty of other aluminum options offer similar capabilities at more obtainable prices. But none of them pack quite the same mix of premium materials (including an all-metal design), attention to detail and exclusivity like Sterling Pacific’s take.

Apple M4 Mac Mini

Apple has given its Mac Mini quite the upgrade. The new 2024 version packs the company’s latest silicon — configurable with either M4 and M4 Pro chips — and promises substantial performance upgrades over its 2023-released M2 and 2020-released M1 predecessors. Most notably, however, is the fact that these new M4 models feature a drastically smaller design and front-facing ports (including a headphone jack). The base model starts at $599 and comes with 16GB of RAM.
Livewire

Livewire S2 Del Mar Electric

A few years back, Harley spun the electric division off into its own company, and in the fall of 2022, LiveWire became the first publicly traded electric motorcycle company in the United States. The Tom Cruise-approved LiveWire S2 Del Mar Electric redefines Harley-Davidson’s DNA, delivering a spirited electric performance in a stylish, compact package. With an easy to handle design, 113-mile city range and a 3-second 0-60 mph sprint, it’s tailored for urban explorers seeking speed and sustainability. The minimalist design, precision engineering, and advanced connectivity make it a standout in the electric bike market. It’s available in four colorways (two shades of blue, plus gray and black), with a number of optional accessories, for a base price of $15,499.

The modern edition boasts a 4130 chromoly loop-tail frame, retro-style aluminum rims, DiaCompe MX rear rim brake and period-correct handlebar and top-tube pads. You’re probably a bit big for the ’goose these days, but we’re betting your kid will be stoked to find it “under” the tree next month. It’s available in both the shown colorway and a blue/yellow option.
ReMarkable

reMarkable Paper Pro

Alex Cranz at The Verge called this gadget “the hypercar of E-Ink note-taking devices” for good reason. The 11.8-inch tablet pushes e-ink tech to its limits to create the ultimate digital notebook. The most significant innovation here is a unique color e-ink display combined with some intelligent software tricks that allow the reMarkable Pro to faithfully render books, slide decks, PDFs, and other docs without the downside of a frustratingly slow refresh rate. Like other reMarkable tablets, the textured display replicates a paper-like feel when using a stylus, while a front-facing reading light makes the tablet usable in darker settings. The catch is that the Paper Pro costs as much as more capable devices like Apple’s new 11-inch iPad Air. The well-regarded keyboard accessory makes price an even more significant cause for pause, given it costs $229.
Sonos Arc Ultra soundbarSonos

Sonos Arc Ultra

The Sonos Arc Ultra is the company’s flagship Dolby Atmos soundbar. It looks quite similar to the older Arc, but packs more drivers, has a redesigned center channel, and takes advanced of a new woofer technology called “Sound Motion.” This helps the Arc Ultra deliver better midrange and more bass than the Arc, despite being similar in size.

Garmin Fenix 8

Garmin’s latest flagship multi-sport smartwatch, the Fenix 8, shares a similar design but a few notable upgrades over its predecessor (the Fenix 7). It features a built-in speaker and microphone for the first time, so you can now use voice commands (to start timers) and answer calls from your wrist. You can choose an always-on solar charging display or an OLED display (the former has a much longer battery life). And it has more features for diving, such as leakproof buttons, a new sensor guard, and a dive rating of up to 40 meters.
