DJI Power 1000 V2 Portable Power Station, 1024Wh LFP Battery. 2600W Stable Output
A 1024 Wh portable power station with an LFP battery, for short home outages, camping or van trips.
$399.99Shop on AmazonPrice as ofThis is a large battery with wall outlets built in. DJI lists 1024 Wh of capacity, 2600 W of output, four AC outlets on the US version, two 140 W USB-C ports, two USB-A ports and two SDC ports for DJI accessories. It recharges from the wall, solar or a car, and DJI says the LFP cells keep over 80 percent of their capacity after 4000 cycles.
It suits someone who wants to keep a fridge, router or work setup going through an outage, or to run gear away from an outlet. If you only need to top up phones and a laptop, a power bank is much smaller and easier to carry.
Worth knowing The 100-120 V version is listed at up to 20 A of AC output, so check heavy appliances against that as well as the 2600 W headline. The 56-minute full charge is for DJI's SDC mode, and the page doesn't name the power source. It weighs 14.2 kg, about 31 pounds.

27" Acer Nitro 1440p IPS 320Hz Gaming Monitor KG271U F3bmiipx | 0.5ms, AMD FreeSync Premium, 2xHDMI 2.1, DisplayPort, Speaker, Bluelight Filter, Flickerless Technology
A 27-inch 1440p IPS gaming monitor at 320 Hz, for PC players in fast competitive games.
$179.99Shop on AmazonPrice as ofThe KG271U F3 is a 27-inch IPS panel at 2560 x 1440 with a 320 Hz refresh rate. Acer lists a 0.5 ms response time, AMD FreeSync Premium, 90 percent DCI-P3 color, two HDMI 2.1 ports, DisplayPort 1.4 and 4 W speakers.
It suits a PC player whose graphics card can push high frame rates at 1440p in shooters and other fast games. Anyone playing mostly on a console, or using the screen for slower games and office work, won't get much from the extra refresh rate. Other models in the same KG271U line run far slower: Acer lists the W3 at 144 Hz and the N3 at up to 180 Hz, so the letters after the name matter.
Worth knowing The stand only tilts, with no height, swivel or pivot adjustment, though the 100 x 100 VESA mount takes a monitor arm. Brightness is 250 nits, which is modest for a bright room or for HDR.

A compact brushless 1/2-inch drill/driver kit with a battery and charger, for home repairs and furniture building.
$99.00Shop on AmazonPrice as ofThe DCD777D1 is a kit: the DCD777 drill/driver, one 2.0 Ah 20V MAX battery, a charger and a belt hook. It has a brushless motor, a 1/2-inch ratcheting chuck, two speeds, 340 unit watts out and a body 7.6 inches long.
It suits a homeowner or a first-time buyer who wants one drill for shelves, furniture and small repairs, and who may add other 20V MAX tools later. Someone who wants a shorter tool and a spare battery should look at the DCD800 kit, an XR model with a 6.37-inch body, a three-mode LED and two batteries.
Worth knowing There is only one battery, so a long job stops while it charges. It is sold as a drill/driver with no hammer mode listed, so brick and concrete call for a different tool.

Moen 26112SRN Engage Handheld Showerhead, Spot Resist Brushed Nickel
A handheld shower with a 5.5-inch head and six spray settings, for rinsing kids, pets or the tub itself.
$36.01Shop on AmazonPrice as ofThe Engage 26112SRN is a handheld shower with a 5.5-inch spray head and six settings you click through with one button. It docks with magnets, so the head pulls away and snaps back without a clip to line up, and Moen says it always docks facing forward. It comes with a kink-free metal hose and a Spot Resist brushed nickel finish meant to hide fingerprints and water spots.
It suits anyone replacing a fixed head who wants to aim the water by hand. If you want a fixed head as well as a handheld, Moen also sells the Engage as a combination set.
Worth knowing Moen rates flow at up to 2.5 gallons per minute and lists a 1/2-inch IPS connection, so check that it fits your shower arm. The spec list gives no hose length, so measure if you need a long reach.

An 810-piece Technic model of the Toyota Supra from the Fast and Furious films, for builders aged 9 and up.
$35.49Shop on AmazonLowest price we've postedPrice as ofSet 42204 builds the Toyota Supra MK4 from the Fast and Furious films in 810 pieces. A knob on top of the car steers the wheels, the hood opens onto a 6-cylinder engine, and the doors open to reveal two NOS bottles in the trunk.
It suits a fan of the films or a builder aged 9 or older who likes models with working parts. A younger child may want help, and someone who just wants a small display car can find simpler LEGO sets.
Worth knowing LEGO's feature list covers the steering, hood and doors, all worked by hand, and mentions no motor or remote control. It won't drive on its own.

Victorinox Rambler Swiss Army Knife, 10-Function Pocket Knife, Red
A 10-function Swiss Army Knife small enough for a key ring, for small daily fixes rather than heavy cutting.
$26.50Shop on AmazonPrice as ofThe Rambler is 2.3 inches long and weighs 1.1 ounces. Its 10 functions are a small blade, scissors, a 2.5 mm screwdriver, a magnetic Phillips screwdriver, a wire stripper, a bottle opener, a nail file, tweezers, a toothpick and a key ring.
It suits someone who wants a few tools on their keys for loose screws, packaging and opening bottles. The Classic SD below it is the same length and lighter at 0.8 ounces, but it drops the Phillips, wire stripper and bottle opener, so pick that one if scissors and a blade are all you use. Anyone who needs real cutting power should pass.
Worth knowing The blade is small, doesn't lock and can't be opened with one hand. Because it has a blade, it belongs in a checked bag when you fly.
