Ghost Shark
The pointy-nosed-blue ratfish — scientific name Hydrolagus trolli — has a face only a mother could love. Or Alaskan artist Ray Troll, whom the species is named in honor of.

Thrive Market
Summer tends to compress family life into a constant rotation of drop-offs, pick-ups, road trips, and weekend tournaments, and Thrive Market positions itself as the quiet infrastructure behind it all. The members-only marketplace focuses on bulk, better-for-you essentials that make it easier to stay stocked without the last-minute scramble, from organic granola bars and nut butter pouches to clean-ingredient jerky, allergen-friendly snacks, and hydration drinks built for on-the-go days. With delivery handled ahead of the week's chaos, parents can build out camp lunch boxes, activity bags, and travel coolers that actually align with what kids will eat, while still sticking to clean-label standards and family-friendly pricing. It is less about reinventing the pantry and more about removing friction from the moments when convenience usually wins by default, especially during the busiest stretch of summer.

Nike Gato LV8
As the 2026 FIFA World Cup turns North America into the center of the football universe, Nike revisits a silhouette rooted in the culture that surrounds soccer.

The pair place their bets and the winner gets a major award.

Layered mesh, synthetic suede, and plastic accents create a distinctive honeycomb-like look, while Zoom Air cushioning and a foam midsole provide comfort for long days on your feet. Originally built for performance, the Vomero 5 has become one of Nike's most adaptable silhouettes equally comfortable navigating airport terminals, city streets, and everything in between.
