Air travel is enough of a hassle without dealing with sub-par luggage. Informed by the founders' experience, gained at renowned brands like Louis Vuitton and Tumi, Arlo Skye makes luggage with thoughtful features like the hard-side exterior pocket of this carry-on. The aforementioned pocket is large enough to hold a 16" laptop, pullover, and other essentials, while a TSA-compliant, removable PD charger with USB-C and A ports can juice up a phone to 50% in just 30 minutes. Free-Flex zipper technology stretches up to half an inch for over-packers (or unexpected trip purchases), antimicrobial interior lining keeps contents smelling fresh, the durable, lightweight impact-resistant polycarbonate exterior keeps things protected, and virtually silent spinner wheels glide smoothly through the terminal.

A wallet is something no one can afford to lose. Dango's M1 AirTag wallet doesn't make losing it impossible, but it does make finding it a whole lot easier. The M1 wallet is built with a CNC machined, anodized 6061 aerospace-grade aluminum frame, with a quick-access card slot covered in heavy-duty DTEX. Four loop holes at each corner serve as attachment points for key rings, tethers, or lanyards, and the main RFID-blocking cavity can hold up to 10 cards. The Apple AirTag is carried on a silicone band that wraps around the wallet, making it traceable and secure.
He's not just a meme anymore — Rick Astley is making a comeback. Rick has popped up on stage with the Foo Fighters, is writing all new material, and now he's in New York with Choir! Choir! Choir! The group made a video asking Rick to come in for a session, and this is how it went down.

After watching a friend try to operate an Austrian-made chimney lighter, George G. Blaisdell decided to create one of his own, borrowing the windproof chimney design but enclosing it in a small rectangular case with a hinged lid. Thus, in 1933, the Zippo was born. Not much different now than it was nearly 90 years ago, it has become a true American icon. Still made in Bradford, PA, it has a metal case, is easily refillable (we recommend Zippo Lighter Fuel for best performance), and comes with a lifetime guarantee.
