Traxxas XO-1
The Traxxas XO-1 jumped straight to the top of the Devour Christmas list when we heard 0-60 in just 2.3 seconds and speeds over 100 mph. Sure, $1,100 may seem steep for a RC car, but we've been really good this year.

Nike Tennis Classic RPM
Nike revisits its court heritage with the Tennis Classic RPM, reworking the country club staple through the lens of 1970s tennis culture and modern streetwear. The silhouette retains its low-profile shape while introducing textured uppers inspired by vintage watchbands and luxury accessories, giving the shoe a more layered look across the toe box and side panels. Gold detailing sharpens the contrast against the black full-grain leather construction. Underneath, layered cushioning and a foam midsole provide a responsive ride, while a stitched rubber cupsole and herringbone outsole maintain the traction and durability expected from a court shoe. Equally suited for early mornings at the tennis courts of Santa Monica and late nights through Chicago's streets, balancing classic sport design with an elevated but casual presence.

Brixton Board Shorts Collection
Built for long days that start in the surf and end somewhere near the bar, Brixton's latest trunk lineup balances heritage styling with modern performance without leaning too hard into either. The Blitz Boardshort is the more aggressive option, a lightweight stretch trunk cut from quick-dry polyester and spandex with a water-repellent finish, invisible zip pocket, drainage eyelet, and bold graphic treatments that push beyond the standard washed-out beach palette. Available in both 19-inch and 21-inch outseams, it is engineered to move cleanly from paddle-outs to pool decks with minimal fuss. Countering it is the Classic Trunk 17", a stripped-back staple with clean lines, minimal branding, and an easy shorter cut that feels rooted in vintage surf culture while still delivering dependable quick-dry performance. Together, the collection hits the sweet spot between technical utility and everyday wearability, exactly where Brixton tends to do its best work.

Duke Cannon Supply Co. Puck Soap
Bar soap rarely gets an upgrade, but the Duke Cannon Soap Puck rethinks the format with a compact, palm-sized design built for grip, portability, and longevity. Triple-milled for a denser, longer-lasting bar, it delivers a rich lather while holding up better than typical soaps, making it just as suited for daily showers as it is for gym bags and travel kits. Formulated with natural oils and free of phthalates, it cleans without overcomplicating things, while the rounded puck shape feels deliberate in hand. It's a small shift in form that turns a basic essential into something more considered and durable.
