WÜSTHOF 8-Piece Stainless Mignon Steak Knife Set
Eight serrated 4-inch steak knives with all-steel handles in an olivewood chest, for a table that seats eight.
$99.00Shop on AmazonPrice as ofWüsthof's Mignon set is eight 4-inch serrated steak knives, each one piece of stainless steel from blade to handle, kept in an olivewood chest. The all-metal look sits well next to stainless cutlery, and the chest keeps the set together between dinners.
It suits a household that sets the table for guests and wants matching steak knives that look the part, or a gift for one. If what you want is Wüsthof's forged kitchen knives made in Germany, this set is a different line.
Worth knowing Wüsthof lists these as non-forged and made in China, unlike its forged knives made in Solingen. Eight knives only, no forks.

Coway Airmega 400 True HEPA Smart Air Purifier (White)
A large-room air purifier that draws air in through both sides, for open-plan living spaces, basements or offices.
$343.99Shop on AmazonPrice as ofThe Airmega 400 pulls air in through both sides, each through a washable pre-filter and a Max2 filter (activated carbon plus True HEPA). Coway rates it for 1,560 square feet at two air changes an hour. A particle sensor shows the air quality as a coloured light, and the auto, eco and sleep modes set the fan on their own; a light sensor turns it down in a dark room.
It suits a big living space or an open floor plan. For one bedroom it is more machine than you need. This is the plain 400, not the 400S: the S adds Wi-Fi and the app, and both take the same filters.
Worth knowing No Wi-Fi or app on this model. It takes two Max2 filters, which Coway says last about 6 to 12 months, so replacement sets are a running cost.

eufy Security Smart Lock C220, Fingerprint Keyless Entry Door Lock
A fingerprint deadbolt with built-in Wi-Fi that fits most standard US deadbolt holes, for a front door you want to open without keys.
$89.99Shop on AmazonPrice as ofThe C220 replaces an existing deadbolt; eufy says it fits most standard US and Canadian deadbolts and goes on in about 15 minutes without drilling. It unlocks six ways: fingerprint, keypad, the eufy Security app, a physical key, an Apple Watch, or Alexa and Google Assistant. Wi-Fi is built in, so there is no bridge to plug in, and the app keeps an event history and sends alerts.
The C210 below it has the keypad and Wi-Fi but no fingerprint reader. If you already have a eufy doorbell, the lock joins the same app.
Worth knowing It runs on 8 AA batteries, which eufy says last around eight months depending on use. It is BHMA Grade 3, the basic residential grade.

Osprey Daylite Expandable 26+6 Travel Pack, Gray OS | travel backpack, carry on bag, laptop sleeve, personal item, Gray color, OS size
A 26-litre travel backpack sized as a personal item that zips out by 6 litres into a standard carry-on, for light packers.
$72.00Shop on AmazonPrice as ofThe Daylite Expandable opens like a suitcase, with a full zip and a mesh divider, and Osprey sizes it to airlines' personal-item limits (accepted by 85% of the biggest airlines, it says). Unzip the expansion and the main compartment grows by 2 inches, or 6 litres, which makes it a standard carry-on instead.
There is a laptop sleeve against the back, a trolley-handle pass-through, two stretch bottle pockets, a sternum strap and grab handles on top, side and bottom. It weighs 0.84 kg. It suits weekend trips and fares that charge for the overhead bin; for a week of clothes, a bigger travel pack makes more sense.
Worth knowing Expanded, it no longer fits personal-item limits. Osprey calls the laptop sleeve simple: a sleeve against the back wall. This deal is for the gray colour.
