SMMT Sèrpa 16oz Tumbler Triple Black
Born from the shadows of mountain west peaks, SMMT's 'Triple Black' embodies the art of the slow burn. More than a color, it's a mood - clarity in the quiet, ritual in the pause. Designed in Park City, Utah at 7,000 feet and inspired by the steepest summits, the Sèrpa Tumbler returns in its boldest form yet: a blackout design for nights that run long, and rituals that run deep. Its 16oz kitchen-grade stainless steel body conceals a patent-pending Sip & Stow magnetic lid system and 3-Way Precision Insulation to keep your drink steady - hot on the coldest first-chair morning, cold by the warmest après fire. Built for connoisseurs of the moment - those who chase steeps, chase sips and choose stillness as a form of rebellion.

Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller Robot Vacuum
When it comes to cleaning hard floors, vacuuming is only half the equation — they need to be mopped too. Dreame's Aqua10 Ultra can handle both. It has an AI-powered navigation system that maps and avoids obstacles with precision, while FlexRise suspension clears thresholds and carpets up to 3.15 inches without slowing down. Voice control lets you prioritize carpets or boost suction on command, and—when the job's done—it returns to its dock to empty waste, sanitize, dry the roller, and refill with water and cleaning solution. As a result, it can handle up to 100 days of cleaning without intervention, making it ideal for busy lifestyles.
