July Checked trunk

If you’ve ever struggled to open your suitcase without half the contents falling out, or find yourself constantly juggling to squish things into a standard case, you need this in your life.

HexClad Hybrid cookware set
from $499 (usually from $682), HexClad
After years of being told never to put my pots and pans in the dishwasher, I was hesitant to trust HexClad’s claims (even when they come via Gordon Ramsay). Six months of machine washing later, I’m converted. The nonstick coating remains in pristine condition, and my steak continues to sizzle like a pro. Thanks Gordo.

Dyson 360 Vis Nav robot vacuum
from $1599 (usually $1999), Dyson
