With WYNK’s alcohol-free seltzers, you can ditch the morning headache and keep the evening buzz. Each 7.5-ounce can contains 2.5mg each of THC and CBD – you know, the high-inducing compound found in cannabis and its chill, non-psychoactive cousin. Together, they deliver a light buzz that’s perfectly balanced and ideally suited for weeknight hangs, in a package that’s delicious and sugar- and calorie-free. WYNK’s variety pack is a great place to jump into the infused seltzer lifestyle, with three six-packs spanning all its tasty flavors: Black Cherry Fizz, Lime Twist and Juicy Mango. And, if you’re looking for a double hit, WYNK also offers the variety pack in 5mg cans (18 for $97).

Gaming is about speed runs — and Logitech’s new A50 X Headphones ($379) are all about navigating your gaming library at a sprint. The new flagship headset uses HDMI passthrough to enable switching across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X / S and PC gaming with a single button press. After you tap to your latest session — and your ears enjoy the crisp sound of double-tapping your opponents via its LIGHTSPEED wireless — it snaps into its cradle charging station with a satisfying click.
Since its release this March, the Keychron Q1 has been lauded as one of the best affordable off-the-shelf mechanical keyboards on the market thanks to its fully aluminum case. The new Keychron Q1 HE ($194+) adds analog Hall Effect magnetic switches that are ultra-sensitive for gaming. You’ll love its customizable features, ability to operate wired or wirelessly — and its excellent price.
American Single Malt whiskeys are on the rise. Sip one of these barley-only distillations and you’ll taste a huge range of flavors; America’s slightly laxer rules on what constitutes a “single malt” dram allow distillers from Texas to Chicago to Seattle to get creative. Wolves Whiskey of Sonoma County, California, has been making single malts for quite a while. Its latest two releases are doubly exciting: The 11 Year, Lot 2 ($305) has quite a lot of age for an ASM, just as you’d expect after a decade-plus mellowing in new oak casks. For lovers of something complex, the brand's Winter Run, Batch 3 ($220) blends rye and hop-infused whiskey.
Traveling with chargers and cables for both an iPhone and an Apple Watch is a nightmare. Tangles are common and the cords are forever entwined in a frustrating dance of death. Owners of Twelvesouth’s 2-in-1 MagSafe Charger ($130) will gleefully avoid such a dance. They will charge their phone and watch together on the world’s smallest two-in-one USB-C MagSafe charger (it packs down to the size of an AirPod Pro case). They will travel quickly, and efficiently, and always with a full charge.
