Smoke & Brûlée Chocolate Bar

A perfectly balanced chocolate bar with 66% Dominican chocolate, cold smoked nibs, brûléed sugar bits and black lava salt hits all the right spots in sophisticated treat from this bean-to-bar chocolatier from Bentonville, Arkansas. Inspired by the maker’s memory of eating bananas foster and creme brûlée on a summer road trip through New Orleans, it’s a great introduction to the brand and their unique confections.

Compression Socks

You don’t need to travel as much as we do to include compression socks in your travel kit. They are essential for flying, helping your body to keep your blood flowing in your feet and legs while sitting on your ass for hours at a time. Many people wear them when working out, or if standing most of the day at work, too. We’ve tried many brands and VIM & VIGR is our new favorite. They offer multiple styles (regular socks, open-toe socks, leg sleeves) in three different knits—cotton, wool (our favorite) and moisture-wick nylon), various compression strength, and of these in many solid colors and patterns.

PowerClip

When we’re in full on art or design week mode we always travel with a heavy duty power bank to keep our crew going through multiple full phone charges a day. While a great solution they are bulky and heavy, and often much more than what you need. Twelve South’s PowerClip sits at a specific place in the range of charging devices—its small size and light weight makes it ideal to carry on your key chain, clipped to your bag, or comfortably placed in a pocket. It is designed to deliver enough power—around a 30% charge—to ensure that you have enough to get through the rest of the day or night. It cannot charge your phone fully, though it can fully charge other items like earphones etc. It can even charge two USB C devices at the same time using its two cables, and if you are short a cable it can connect to a power source and a device.

Opinel No. 8 National Parks Guide Series

Opinel is a legendary knifemaker founded in 1890 in the French Alps. Even if you don’t think you “know” Opinel, you probably actually do. Their No. 8 consists of a wood handle carved entirely from a single piece of certified, sustainably harvested beech, a simple, circular metal lockring and a steel blade. Opinels have starred in television series and films like the French Connection II, and now Opinel has commissioned a limited National Parks Guide Series, featuring Yellowstone, Great Smoky Mountains and the Grand Canyon as envisioned through the eyes of local artists. The knife artwork is unique, a bit whimsical and we love that it comes with an accompanying Wildsam field guide to each park. It’s a fun tribute; plus, a portion of every sale goes to Leave No Trace.

Summerdown Peppermint Dark Chocolate Crisp Bar (2 Bars)

Summerdown started growing Black Mitcham peppermint, an heirloom varietal, around thirty years ago. The farmers found and painstakingly brought cuttings back to England, and with lots of time and care the finicky plant settled in; today it’s grown on 100 acres. Once harvested it’s distilled and barrel-aged, and powers many products that the farm produces. They make several chocolates but the bar is the easiest to travel with, and as we’re always on the go it’s what you’ll often find in our everyday carry. Made from 70% Colombian chocolate, it has a light dusting of sugar crystals to give it a little crunch. Each bar is 100g / 3.5oz, price is for a two pack.

Keith Haring in 3D

Most people think of paintings and flat works when Keith Haring comes to mind, but he was a prolific artist who explored all types of materials, including found objects which were plentiful and free in the streets of NYC in the early 1980s. From cars to clothes, ceramics, wood, sets, bodies and more he honed his work and visual alphabet while creating a substantial body of 3D works that were never the focus of his career or his galleries. A book ten years in the making, it launches adjacent to an exhibition of the same name, opening in the new wing at Crystal Bridges Museum of Contemporary Art 6 June 2026 and running through 25 January 2027. The book was edited by Larry Warsh and Glenn Adamson, and features contributions from Dieter Buchhart, David Galloway, Francis M. Naumann, Lowery Stokes Sims, and Robert Storr.
