Our favorite product releases this week: Lego, Marshall, Smeg and more

CNN30-05-2025

Every week, Rikka Altland, Jacqueline Saquin and Elena Matarazzo team up to share our favorite product launches from the last seven days. Whether you're just hoping to keep up to date with the latest and greatest releases or are looking to shop them, we've highlighted nine of the most notable drops from around the web.
This week brings the launch of the latest collaboration between Lego and Pixar, a new retro-styled speaker from Marshall and this shiny new Smeg sparkling water maker.
A new version of an editor-loved speaker
Marshall has debuted its newest speaker this week, and there's far more to it than just a retro-inspired design. Don't get us wrong, the vinyl wrapping and metal speaker grill are as classic as it gets, but it's the tech and audio system that's on the inside that has Altland so excited. She listens to a Marshall speaker every day and particularly loves the out-of-the-box EQ settings that the company ships.
For the Marshall Kilburn III, that combination of good looks and great sound enters a new portable package. The speaker sports a built-in battery that enables over 50 hours of listening on a single charge, twice as much time as its predecessor. It also has a more impressive internal speaker setup that's backed by an IP54 water-resistant and dust-resistant build. We also love the brand's usual inclusion of retro volume knobs on top.
Available now through the official Marshall website, it'll also be launching on June 10 through other retailers. Altland will be circling back later on with more personal insight into the experience to see if its $380 price tag means it's actually better than the other best portable Bluetooth speakers out there.
Nix the cleanup with these silicone cosmetic pouches
Don't let stray liquid blush swipes and smoky eyeshadow pigments stain your makeup bag. Stasher, the reusable silicone bag brand we've written home about in the past, just welcomed the Beauty Weekender Bag, which retails for $40. It's more roomy than the bestselling Essentials Bag, giving you ample room to pack full-sized products — up to 104 fluid ounces, to be exact. Made with the same signature silicone, it's easy to clean and wipe down when spills do happen. No matter where your travels take you, toss it in a beach tote or a carry-on bag. If you want to break down your organization even more, it comes in new value bundles with the Everyday Bag and the Touch-Up Bag.
Make cheekbones and cupid's bows pop all day long
Trying to achieve the glass skin look? It goes beyond a good skin care routine and can be amplified with makeup. Benefit is here to help with its new velvety highlighter that gives you a natural glow with its lightly blurring powder. It comes in six shades that range from the fair Raya color to a deep Comet. All of them are long-lasting, can be worn on muggy summer days with their waterproof capabilities and even play nice with acne-prone skin.
Some of our deals editors are stoked to try this out for events, outdoor weddings and the like since it offers a fade-proof glow that lasts 12 hours — or in some cases more — and adds a subtle pop to a variety of makeup looks. The tin is $38, which is on par with other middle to higher tier options and is available for purchase on the brand's site, Sephora, Nordstrom and even Revolve.
Move over, AirTags
Our senior deals editor has long been a fan of Satechi's passport cover with built-in Apple Find My support. It's an essential in her travel setup for providing extra peace of mind while flying. The company is now bringing that same item-finding technology to a suite of new products, including everything from a luggage tag to a glasses case.
Everything in Satechi's new lineup features a rechargeable battery that pairs with the company's tried-and-true item-finding features. For those unfamiliar, Find My is the same technology that Apple packs into its beloved AirTags. Satechi is tapping into that same network to cover far more than just keys with some bespoke accessories tailored to specific uses. Here's a rundown of the lineup:
Satechi Vegan-Leather FindAll Glasses Case
Instead of just placing an AirTag in your existing glasses case, this stylish vegan-leather cover features the same tracking technology with a wirelessly rechargeable battery.
Satechi Vegan-Leather FindAll Luggage Tag
Most of us are buying AirTags to use with a luggage tag, so why not skip the process of piecing together individual accessories and opt for a single travel gadget that does it all.
Satechi FindAll Card
Bring Apple Find My tech to your wallet with this slim item finder. It's slightly thicker than a typical credit card and provides peace of mind where an AirTag normally can't.
Satechi Vegan-Leather FindAll Keychain
This may practically just be an AirTag, but it beats Apple's in-house version by featuring an integrated keychain clip and rechargeable battery for $1 more than the official option. Altland has been using Satechi gear for several years now and is always impressed by the value, build quality and features offered by its Apple-adjacent products. This new Find All tracker lineup certainly looks to fit the bill, and she'll be excited to try these out for herself when her order arrives.
The most stylish way to get your bubbles
Summer signals the start of spritz season, and Smeg's latest invention comes in clutch with a well-timed launch. For all your backyard BBQs, pool parties and happy hours, the Sparkling Water Maker can satiate your bubbly cravings.
Unlike clunky, plastic models out there, this one fuses high-quality Italian craftsmanship with practical controls. It comes in a sleek, slim design and three stylish colors: Matte Black, Matte Fog Blue and Matte Jade. For $180, the soda maker also features a customizable fizz control knob and an electricity-free use, so you can store it outside on patio bars or inside on the kitchen countertop.
A derm-approved skin tint with SPF
One of our favorite Korean beauty brands just released its highly anticipated tinted sunscreen. This skin tint is a great addition to your routine if you're looking for a multipurpose product that conceals, protects and moisturizes. It's packed with SPF 40 protection, comes in 12 shades and gives you a lightweight, no-makeup-makeup look that'll leave you looking dewy all summer long.
The bottle goes for a reasonable $20, and you can save 20% if you buy two or more at once. Snagging multiple shades is the move for some if your complexion is in between or if you wear darker finishes as the UV index gets higher.
The latest Lego Ideas kit hops into action
Lego has been tapping into the wide world of Disney properties for years now with its popular building kits, but Pixar is a more recent addition to the collection. The latest of those builds is up for pre-order this week. Joining the likes of 'Up,' 'WALL-E' and 'Inside Out,' the original short film that kickstarted the whole animation empire is getting its own set.
The new Luxo Jr. kit features a buildable version of the Pixar Lamp and Luxo Ball. Both characters are crafted from 613 pieces and assembled into display-worthy models. I won't spoil anything, but there are also some fun Easter eggs throughout the building process that reference half a dozen films from the Pixar archive. It begins shipping over the weekend and clocks in with a $70 price tag.
Our best-tested cooling pillow just got new companions
Hot sleepers have a new way to keep cool this summer. Expanding upon its best-tested cooling pillows, Coop Sleep Goods just added to its Cool+ Collection, so you can upgrade your bedding to the ultimate chill zone. Running from $49 to $399, the new additions introduce a fresh mattress topper, adjustable body pillow and toddler pillow — all stuffed with the brand's signature Oomph Cool fill.
In addition to the Cool+ line, Coop also created Tencel-based bedding designed to feel soft, silky and most importantly, breathable. Lay the foundation for sleep with the Tencel Sheet Set ($159) and Pillowcase Set ($39), which help temper moisture. Or, swap out heavy duvet covers for the brand's lightweight Duvet Cover ($159), available in white, grey and cream colors.
Cheers to seven years of buttery soft activewear
Days ago, Set Active dropped its limited-edition birthday collection. The brand is celebrating its seventh year in the activewear business and has launched three new versions of its pieces in ice cream and sweets-inspired hues.
Some of the pieces our editors are eyeing are the Airluxe Breathe Scoop Bra in Birthday Espresso, Sportbody Sporty High-Rise Leggings in a strawberry pastel Swirl design, Formcloud Cloud High-Rise Leggings in a baby blue Frosting color and Airluxe Breathe Shorts in a creamy Leche.
If you're prepping for summer training sessions or hot girl walks with friends, Set Active makes some of the cutest workout gear around. We love that it's just as stylish as it is functional, which makes these new drops even more worthy of tagging along on spring workouts.
This week also saw the launch of other products our editors deemed worthy of standalone coverage. Shop all these additional launches below, including an upgraded version of our pick for the best budget video doorbell, a new Yeti lunch box and more.
Marie Veronique Colorfree Zinc Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 32
Our associate editor, Elena Matarazzo, has been using this sunscreen for about a week and loves its dewy finish. It's been safe to use on her acne-prone skin and even doubles as a primer since it's slightly tacky.
Blink Video Doorbell (2025)
Blink's latest doorbell combines upgrades like 1440p video and a wider field of view with the same price tag as its predecessor. The starter kit clocks in at $70, while those upgrading an existing setup can buy just the doorbell for $60.
Yeti 3-Liter Daytrip Lunch Box
Yeti has a new line of lunch boxes out this week that pack the brand's usual best-in-class temperature retention into a soft design perfect for taking your lunch to work and more.
Away The Carry-On in Sunshine Yellow
To complement all your sunny getaways, Away premiered its bestselling luggage in a new hue, Sunshine Yellow. The Beach Capsule Collection also invites the debut of a beach bag tote, a sunglasses case and a pair of dry bags. As deals editors at Underscored, we are some of the first people to hear about the latest product news from reader-favorite brands. Our deals team — comprised of senior editor Rikka Altland, editor Jacqueline Saguin and associate editor Elena Matarazzo — is passionate about product launches that we would be tempted to shop, and we enjoy finding a coveted new item (especially one from a brand with top marks from our experts) because it means we're helping our readers make savvy buying decisions.

Sam Raimi's SPIDER-MAN Trilogy Swings Back Into Theaters with the Extended '2.1' Cut — GeekTyrant

Get ready to relive the web-slinging magic. Fathom Entertainment is teaming up with Sony Pictures to bring Sam Raimi's original Spider-Man trilogy back to theaters this fall, and that includes Spider-Man 2.1, the extended cut fans have been waiting to see on the big screen. The limited event kicks off September 26 with Raimi's 2002 Spider-Man , continues with Spider-Man 2.1 on September 27, and wraps with Spider-Man 3 on September 28. There will be an encore round running the following weekend (Oct. 3–5). Tickets go on sale July 25. For the first time ever, Spider-Man 2.1 will hit theaters in 4K. The longer version of the critically acclaimed sequel includes additional and extended scenes that deepen the story and expand the action. For longtime fans, this is a rare chance to see Raimi's vision in full on the big screen. Ray Nutt, CEO of Fathom Entertainment, shared his excitement: 'The success of 'Spider-Man' in 2002 helped launch the modern era of superhero films. To this day, Tobey Maguire's take on Spider-Man resonates across generations. 'At Fathom Entertainment, we celebrate fandom and I am delighted that 'Spider-Man 2.1' in 4K will make its theatrical debut, a true gift for longtime fans and a thrilling discovery for new ones.' This re-release is part of Fathom's ongoing Fan Favorites series. They've already brought back classics like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Clueless this year, with more on the way with Rocky IV , S unset Boulevard , and The Sound of Music are all on deck. Earlier this year, the entire Spider-Man live-action lineup had a brief return to theaters via Cinemark, including Tom Holland's MCU entries and Andrew Garfield's two Amazing films. But this new event gives Raimi's trilogy the solo spotlight, with the added bonus of that never-before-seen-on-the-big-screen cut. This is a great opportunity to revisit these films on the big screen again!

Jesse Watters' New Nickname For Zohran Mamdani Makes Him Sound Ridiculously Cool

Fox News host Jesse Watters has unveiled a new nickname for New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani — and people can't help but notice it makes him sound really, really cool. Over the past few days, the commentator has referred to the progressive rising star as 'Zohran the Destroyer,' or simply 'the destroyer,' multiple times. In a viral screenshot from Thursday's episode of 'Jesse Watters Primetime,' a chyron reads, 'ZOHRAN THE DESTROYER WRECKS DEM PARTY.' The segment touched on angst from some Democrats over Mamdani threatening the status quo. The democratic socialist beat former New York Gov. and accused sexual harasser Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary on Tuesday in a stunning upset. 'What's Zohran the Destroyer got going for him?' Watters asked in a monologue that trashed Mamdani's policy proposals and mocked his supporters. He also called him a 'smooth-talking assassin.' On 'The Five' on Friday, Watters mused, 'Zohran the Destroyer is about to give Karl Marx a woke makeover, if Democrats can't stop him from becoming the next mayor of New York City.' On social media, people joked about how awesome the moniker made Mamdani sound. They're giving him cool nicknames now — pokey pup (@Whatapityonyou) June 27, 2025 Problem? — Austin MacNamara - Gremloe (@gremloe) June 28, 2025 omw to Join the Praetorian Guard of Zohran the Destroyer — Estrie⚢🔆 (@AdorableEstrie) June 28, 2025 I'm sorry @ZohranKMamdani, but I will only be referring to you by your full name from now on: Zohran The Destroyer. — Deliver The Food (@deliverthefred) June 27, 2025 They try to make him sound scary and just make him sound like a hero."Hither came Zohran, black-haired, bright-eyed, sword in hand, a reaver, a billionaire-slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandaled feet." — Josiah Hawthorne (@JosiahHawthorne) June 27, 2025 Zohran Mamdani Stuns Andrew Cuomo In NYC Mayoral Primary Marjorie Taylor Greene And Tucker Carlson Offer Surprising Praise For Rising Dem Star Democrats Hope They Can Replicate Zohran Mamdani, Just Without The Socialism

38 Best Early Amazon Prime Day Deals On Products We've Tested (2025)

Amazon Prime Day 2025 is fast approaching, and the sale is already underway on some items. To help you find the best early Prime Day deals, we've scoured Amazon for deals on the tech we love. As always, every deal we recommend here is on a product our reviewers have personally tested and approved—you won't find any shoddy dupes or mystery brands here. This year Prime Day runs for four days, July 8-11, rather than the usual two. That means there's twice as long to suffer save. Twice as long to score a great deal on a new Amazon Fire Tablet, some AirPods, or a KitchenAid stand mixer. Be sure to read our explainer on all the Amazon Prime perks you should be taking advantage of. Updated Saturday June 28, 2025: We've removed a couple of sold-out deals and added new deals on HP's Chromebook x360, Surface laptops, a Samsung Watch Series 7 watch, Beats Solo 4 headphones, Sawyer Squeeze water filter, Garmin Inreach Mini 2, Petcube Cam 360, Blissy Silk Sleep Mask, and the Imilab C30 Dual Security Camera WIRED Featured Deals Amazon Device Deals Amazon's Eero Pro 6E (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is a tri-band mesh that adds the 6-GHz band to the familiar 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz bands. If you have a 1 Gbps or faster connection and lots of devices, this is a great mesh system for you. It performed extremely well in our tests, though the 6-Ghz band is short-range. This deal is for the Fire Max 11 (5/10, WIRED Review) bundle, with keyboard. The Fire Max 11 is Amazon's nicest Fire tablet, but if you're thinking of doing work, keep in mind that Google's various office apps won't work. If you don't need those, this is a serviceable tablet. The screen is bright and sharp enough, the speakers aren't bad, and the cameras are 1080p. Easily the best audiobook service, Amazon's Audible Premium Plus gives you access to a library of Audible Originals, audiobooks, and podcasts, one credit per month to use on any audiobook title you fancy, and regular exclusive deals and discounts. Prime members can have three months for free right now (one month for non-Prime members), after which it costs $15 per month. It may not be the best music streaming service, but Amazon Music Unlimited earned an honorable mention in our guide. Four months of free service for Prime members (three months for non-Prime members) will be enough to tempt some folks to try it. Apple Prime Day Deals The iPad (A16) (8/10, WIRED Recommends) has a USB-C port, a Touch ID sensor integrated into the power button, a 12-megapixel rear camera, and a 12-MP selfie camera in landscape mode (with support for Center Stage). You also get 5G on the cellular model. The A16 chip is the same one in the iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15, and iPhone 15 Plus. It's plenty powerful, but there's not enough RAM to support Apple Intelligence, making it the only iPad in the lineup without access to Apple's artificial intelligence features (possibly a feature depending on your stance on AI). Would it surprise you to know that this is the laptop I am typing on right now? Probably not. The Air is one of the most popular laptops around and for good reason. You get a powerful, portable laptop with outstanding battery life for under a grand. If your workload is graphics-intensive, you might want to go for the 14- or 16-inch MacBook Pro, but for the rest of us the Air is the Apple laptop to get. Apple's latest AirPods Pro (8/10, WIRED Recommends) are ubiquitous for good reason. They've now got USB-C in the charging case, and this latest version sounds better than ever before. They have an IP54 sweat- and dust-resistance rating, and the noise-canceling is top-tier. Pair that with six hours of juice and a case with a speaker to help use Apple's 'Find My' feature, and you have a winning combo. The Watch Series 10 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is the best Apple Watch for most people. It does not have blood oxygen sensing, which is truly preposterous given that almost every other fitness tracker on the planet has it, but it can tell if you have sleep apnea, which otherwise requires a disruptive sleep test to diagnose. The Series 10 is thinner and lighter, so it's more comfortable to wear while sleeping, and it has fast charging, so it can track more of your activities during the day. The gateway drug of Apple Watches, the entry-level SE is a compelling deal. It doesn't have the latest standout health features, but it's compatible with watchOS 11, so you'll be able to take advantage of the new Vitals app, and it has the S8 chip, which offers support for features like Crash Detection. It remains the best Apple Watch for the money. The Beats Flex are the best headphones for Apple users under $100. They feature quick pairing, easy access to Siri, and seamless Apple Music integration, thanks to Apple's W1 chip, which ensures a rock-solid wireless connection to iOS devices. We were able to get 12-hour-plus battery life, which is good enough for a few workdays of tunes between trips to the wall charger. The Beat Solo 4 headphones offer clear and buttery smooth sound, with good instrumental separation. As you'd expect, there's hands-free Siri and Apple Spatial Audio support, and they come with a compact carrying case for easy packing. Note that there's no noise canceling or transparency mode, no auto pause feature, or water-resistance rating. For those overnight trips it's nice to have a power bank capable of charging up your Apple Watch. This Anker power bank has a handy pop-up Apple Watch charger that can deliver 5 watts and supports Nightstand mode. It also has a built-in USB-C cable and a USB-C port, so you can deliver up to 30 watts to your phone or another small device. Our top pick watch for Samsun fans, the Galaxy Watch7 features a nice rounded design—the accented 20-mm straps add a nice touch—though it is a little plain. This model infuses artificial intelligence algorithms to improve your health tracking data, like the Energy Score and updated sleep tracking capabilities. Tech Deals The Surface Laptop (7th Edition) is the best Surface device for most people. If you're looking for a lightweight and reliable Windows PC with good battery life, look no further. This deal is on the higher-end 13-inch model, with a Snapdragon X Elite processor, 16-GB RAM, and a 1-TB SSD. Performance was excellent in our testing, although this is not a machine for graphics-intensive tasks like video editing or gaming. HP's Chromebook Plus x360 is a good 2-in-1 Chromebook. Its design is nondescript, but the Intel Core i3 chip is plenty speedy for Chromebook workloads, it's lightweight, and the 2-in-1 design means you can watch movies in tent mode. The speakers sound decent and get surprisingly loud, and the 1,920 X 1,200-pixel resolution is sharp on this 14-inch IPS LCD panel. This Wi-Fi 7 mesh router offers expansive coverage and it very fast on all bands. You get a good selection of multi-gig Ethernet ports and it's easy to set up and use. The downside is the price, but this deal helps out with that. You'll need a HomeShield Pro subscription for online protection and full parental controls. This little power bank has a 25,000-mAh capacity and can deliver up to 165 watts to two devices (it tops out at 100 watts for a single device connected via USB-C). The retractable cable is nice, and the clever braided 1-foot USB-C cable doubles as a carry loop. It has a display to show the remaining battery, charging rate in and out, battery temperature, and health. Ugreen's 145-watt charger, with 25,000-mAh battery, is surprisingly compact for the power it provides. There are two USB-C ports and one USB-A port. What sets the Ugreen apart is that you can actually draw 145 watts while charging. That works out to one USB-C port at 100 W and the other at 45 W. This Anker charger is very small (unfortunately, the plugs don't fold, see below if you want folding plugs), and supports 30 watt charging. That'll be enough for most phones, and can also handle tablets and even possibly low-power laptops. This Anker plug is nice and compact, with a folding plug which makes it great for travel. If you have a phone that's capable, this is a nice way to fast charge, and this will of course be perfect for laptops, tablets, and other devices. Outdoor Prime Day Deals I've been testing smart bird feeders daily for almost a year now, and I can say definitively that no smart feeder is perfect. However, if you want something at the intersection of reliability, features, and affordability, this feeder, the top pick in our guide to the Best Smart Bird Feeders, is your best bet. This model is especially appealing as it comes with both a lifetime subscription and a solar panel to keep it charged. —Kat Merck Hydro Flask has several types of bottles and caps available in a bunch of fun color options. You can choose one color for the bottle, another for the lid, and depending on which one you're getting, yet another for the strap or straw. In our years of testing, this has proved the most durable water bottle. Ninja's cute and compact outdoor oven (7/10, WIRED Review) is temperature accurate, versatile, and adds a touch of smokiness without you needing to mess with the complexity (or size) of a full smoker. It's idiotproof and affordable, we love it for decks and those with limited outdoor cooking space, since you can do a lot of things with it. Yeti reinvented the cooler, and we thank them for it. The rotomolded Tundra is built like a tank with 3-inch-thick insulated walls, and in our testing it kept ice frozen for six days in blazing 90-degree heat while stored in direct sunlight on Adrienne's deck. I (Scott) have managed to get five days out of it in the insane humidity of Florida in the spring. A Yeti hard-sided cooler is the best cooler around. Note that this deal is only on the one, wine-colored Tundra. I like this Yeti for the wide mouth and heavy zipper that never sticks. It's free-standing, and at 14.25 inches wide, it's the perfect size for bungeeing to the top of a paddleboard or bike rack. It has both a grab handle on top and a shoulder strap, which provide plenty of points to carabiner a small dry bag or pair of flip-flops. As with the above deal, this is limited to a single color, 'Key Lime.' Of all the portable charcoal grills I've tested, the Weber Jumbo Joe remains my favorite. It strikes the best balance of affordability, features, and ease of use. It's big enough (18.5 inches in diameter) to smoke two racks of ribs or to fit burgers and corn for six people (admittedly, this was crowded) but small enough that you'll still have room in the trunk for a cooler and camping supplies. Biolite's FirePit+ is a sleek, portable, mesh box with removable legs, a hibachi-style grill, and an ash bin. It has a rechargeable 10,400 mAh battery that can power 51 air jets for up to 26 hours. This allows you to precisely control the flame, and to some extent, the heat of the fire. The FirePit+ can burn charcoal or wood and, thanks to the fans, you don't need a charcoal chimney and you'll never struggle to get a fire burning. Our favorite portable power station, the Explorer 2000 Plus has everything you need. It's got plenty of ports, supports fast charging, and the 2,042-watt-hour capacity will keep you running for days. You can charge it speedily from your AC outlet, but it also works with solar panels, like Jackery's SolarSaga 200-W Solar Panel. Just be aware that it weighs a hefty 62 pounds. When I'm not testing something else, this is the backpacking water filtration system I use and it's never let me down. It's our top pick for ultralight hikers and backpackers. It weighs just 3 ounces and has a filtration level of 0.1 microns (which gets rid E. coli, salmonella, giardia, cryptosporidium, and other common problems). The Squeeze also connects to any 28-mm diameter soda bottle (your basic 20-ounce Coke bottle, for example). I have yet to do a trip with a satellite communicator, but I do understand why people use them. If I were to bring one along, this is the one I'd get. It's tiny, light (3.5 ounces), and easily stashable. It utilizes the super-fast Iridium satellite network, so you can send a rapid SOS from pretty much anywhere. There are extra features like waypoints and interval tracking, and it plays nice with compatible Garmin watches. Best Home Deals The Artisan is a design classic, but it doesn't just look great, it performs as well. It's got plenty of power, and the tilt head lifts smoothly so you can change attachments. You get four attachments in total, including a dough hook, a wire whip, a pastry beater, and a flex edge beater that manages to get right up to the sides of the bowl so no cake mixture is left behind. The best budget Dyson vac, the Digital Slim is basic, but powerful. It lacks some of the features on newer models. For example, instead of a single power button, it still has a trigger you have to hold down while vacuuming. You'll do get a Motorbar cleaner head, a combination tool, and a crevice tool in the box. It's not compatible with fancier accessories like the Laser Slim Fluffy cleaner head that shoots out a green laser to spot microscopic dust. We have seen the price dip lower on sale, but this is still a solid deal. As seen in our guide to the Best Air Purifiers, Shark's NeverChange doesn't sport a filter you never have to change but it does last up to five years. WIRED reviewer Lisa Wood Shapiro found that this is only true in very small rooms, but it's still a great deal on a decent air purifier, which now comes in fun colors like green and lavender. (Those ones aren't on sale, though.) —Kat Merck I love this pet camera from Petcube—it's already super-affordable before the APD discount, and it has 360 PTZ rotation capabilities, 1080p HD resolution, 8X digital zoom, 2-way audio, and night vision. The camera feed rotates smoothly, and the wide fish-eye-like lens and panning abilities allow you to see pretty much the entire room. For a little over 50 bucks, this is the best camera you can buy at this price point. —Molly Higgins This dual camera has 3K high definition, with 360 degree rotation up top, and a stationary camera below for even more coverage (plus it can be mounted upside down). There's also live view and two-way chat, night vision, and 6X zoom. AI detection alerts to things like barks, meows, loud noises, and fire, so you can receive notifications for anything alarming. I love that the dual cameras let me keep an eye on my pets (and everything else) while away, and at $60, this is a great deal for a super nice pet cam. —Molly Higgins AirTags can be a bit divisive, but they're the best way to keep tabs on your stuff if you have an iPhone. Set up with the Find My app, and you'll always know where everything is. This is the best sleep mask overall. It's affordable and stylish, with many different colors to choose from. It's also soft, lightweight, and breathable thanks to its mulberry silk construction. The elastic band isn't too tight and the mask does a solid job at blocking out most light. And I like that it comes with a drawstring case, so I don't misplace it easily. —Louryn Strampe GHD has something of a cult following due to its reliability and unique features like single temperature setting (365 degrees Fahrenheit) and fun little chime to let you know it's heated up. We tout it as a more affordable alternative to the popular GHD Chronos (7/10, WIRED Review) in our guide to the Best Hair Straighteners, and at $73 off, it's about as good a deal as you're going to find on a GHD. —Kat Merck This cordless powerhouse is compact, waterproof (yes, you can use it in the shower), and charges fast in four hours. It offers three pressure settings, four tips, and a 360-degree rotating handle that gets into every nook of your mouth. The water reservoir runs for about 45 seconds per fill, just enough for a thorough clean. It also comes with a microfiber travel bag, tip case, water plug, and universal voltage. It's ideal for neat freaks or frequent travelers. —Boutayna Chokrane There are countless Philips Sonicare electric toothbrushes to choose from, but I keep coming back to the trusty 4100. Its gentle vibrations are easier on gums than the more aggressive oscillating brushes. You get a two-minute timer, two intensity settings, and a pressure sensor to protect your enamel. Battery life is excellent, lasting about two weeks per charge, and the built-in BrushSync tech lets you know when it's time to replace the head. It's simple, smart, and under $50. —Boutayna Chokrane We've loved the Revlon One-Step Volumizer Plus (8/10, WIRED Recommends) for a while. It dries and styles in one go, with its 2-inch oval barrel and four heat modes (including a cool setting). The detachable head makes it easy to pack or stash in a drawer, and the ceramic titanium tech reduces heat exposure by 50 percent. It's a smarter (and safer) upgrade from the original version—which had recall issues overseas—and a cheaper alternative to Drybar tools. —Boutayna Chokrane
