Lapo’s non-alcoholic Negroni stands up to the original with a nuanced balance of flavors, all natural ingredients, and a mouthfeel that’s much more unctuous than expected from its phony Negroni peers. Though sugar is the first ingredient it’s not sweet—its both bitter and fruit forward, with a balanced fizz. Price is four a four pack.

The M20 Backpack Cooler boasts an impressive capacity (it holds up to 36 cans or 22 pounds of ice) in an ultra-durable, hands-free package, making it perfect for everything from backyard BBQs to group camping trips. Its closed cell foam insulation keeps food and drinks seriously cold—after a day at the beach, ours still had ice in it the next morning. The shoulder straps adjust for an ergonomic fit while the leak-proof magnetic closure at the top satisfyingly snaps shut to lock the cold in. And if you need to tote other supplies on your journey, it’s easy to attach extra items to the Hitchpoint Grid, like the Rambler Bottle Sling that clips right on.

If total blackout mode is the goal, the Glimpse Sleep Mask doesn’t disappoint. Perfect for those long-haul flights when sleep is a non-negotiable, this adjustable mask has padded foam cups that protect your eyes and lashes while providing 360-degree light-blocking protection. The fabric is soft and moisture-wicking, so even if you run hot, your face should stay cool during wear. Our favorite feature, though, is its namesake patent-pending “glimpse” design: A front panel lifts up to reveal a thin fabric layer that lets a little light in without being too bright or disruptive. Whether the plane is starting its descent or if you’re just hitting the snooze button one more time, simply lift the peek-a-boo panel and allow yourself to gradually wake up.

The Weekender, a new addition to Fjällräven’s iconic Kånken collection, is the perfect travel companion when a regular backpack simply won’t cut it. Sporting a 30-liter capacity, it’s large enough to fit multiple outfits, protect your laptop and even separately stow dirty laundry or shoes, yet it’s efficiently sized for easy overhead storage on a plane or train, no roller bag necessary. We’re impressed by its smart and versatile three-way design that enables the bag to be carried by its handles, worn as a crossbody or flipped 90 degrees to transform into a backpack (complete with padded shoulder straps). Fjällräven is a heritage brand committed to durability and sustainability, and this bag follows suit with its quick-drying, water-resistant, PFAS-free Vinylon fabric and recycled polyamide liner.

In Aperture’s latest edition of its The Photography Workshop Series, Brazilian photographer Vik Muniz explores the concept of seeing familiar objects in unexpected ways in Photography, Mind, and Matter. With a focus on whimsical, imaginative and sometimes surprising scenes—like his playful spaghetti portrait titled Medusa Marinara or his “Pictures of Garbage” series—Muniz blurs the line between surrealist painting, sculpture, photography and more. Through both his writing and capturing one-of-a-kind tableaus on film, this book inspires readers to learn more about his creative process while questioning their own perception of how the ordinary can become extraordinary.
Vik Muniz on Photography, Mind, and Matter is published by Aperture and available at aperture.org/books.

Rocco’s Super Smart Fridge gives a smart home to your beverages—whether that’s in the kitchen, pantry or in your living or dining room. It looks more like a bar accessory than a refrigerator, and has an integrated tray on top, which you can use to serve drinks and snacks. From its UV reeded glass to its powder coated steel and two temperature zones that cool lower than other beverage fridges (offering a range of 37º to 67º) and an app that provides you an inventory of what’s inside, it’s a next-generation product that raises your bar. The new tomato red edition, a collaboration with MALIN+GOETZ, comes with a bottle of their Tomato Home Spray, but other colors are also available.

The PowerBug, compatible with MagSafe and Qi2-enabled devices and cases, is designed to eliminate the need for those pesky charging cables that inevitably end up in the bottom of the junk drawer. Instead, it plugs directly into the outlet and conveniently charges via its magnetic mount system. It’s perfect for streaming a show, using a cooking app or just about any other hands-free viewing need, plus it supports iOS StandBy Mode and displays your selected widgets when the phone’s positioned horizontally. For easy storage or travel, the prongs fold flat to create a cute little puck you can bring anywhere. And if you need to charge another device, there’s a secondary, fast-charging USB-C port hidden on the underside of the plug.

This pocket boutonniere is an ethereal twist on formalwear detail—a cluster of clear quartz crystals meticulously arranged on a low‑profile bar that slips into a suit breast pocket.

The translucent, jagged quartz spires catch light, adding an unexpected flash of natural sparkle that contrasts the clean lines of a tailored jacket. It’s a subtle statement piece, marrying artisanal design and wearable crystal energy with ease and elegance.

Level has simplified the smart lock with its Bolt, allowing you to simply replace the bolt of your existing lock while keeping all other components—its plates, key, and knob. It’s very easy to replace on your own in just a few minutes, too, and no special skills are needed. Once installed your Bolt functions like other smart locks, using its app to lock and unlock, to assign access privileges, to let delivery people in, etc. It’s available in three models—Bluetooth ($199), Bluetooth + WiFi ($249) and Bluetooth + Matter ($229), which is likely the choice for most people.

When a bag was stolen filled with expensive camera gear, the owner was calmed that the AirTag he had in it would help assist in its recovery. Then they realized that the battery in it was dead. AirTag batteries are easy to replace but typically only last around a year, which goes by quickly. So they got to work and Elevation Labs developed TimeCapsule, a rectangular case that supports two AA batteries, which can provide power for your AirTag for up to 10 years or more, and provides the power of 12 coin cell batteries. Price is for one TimeCapsule, but discounts are available for multiple units—$40 for a four pack, for example.

A$AP Rocky’s latest “The Next Generation” collection with Ray-Ban, which fittingly made their debut on the runway at Men’s Paris Fashion Week, dips into a neo-futuristic, post-apocalyptic, Grace Jones in the house vibe that we can’t get enough of. On the streets, in the clubs, at the beach—the three wrapped styles in the collection (each available in several colorways) manage to hit a fashion and future intersection that feels spot-on as we navigate uncertain times. This pair, the Ultra Wrap 002, is our favorite, but both the 001s and 003s are solid options.

Some watches might be too precious to wear for rigorous activity, but thanks to its durable crown protector, adjustable fabric strap and water resistance up to 50 meters, this line is designed to join you on your journey, national park and beyond.
