  1. 1 Tech & Electronics

    JBL Tour One M3 Smart Tx - Wireless over-ear (Black)

    JBL's top over-ear noise-cancelling headphones, sold with a small transmitter that streams from a plane seat, a TV or a PC.

    The Tour One M3 is JBL's over-ear model with eight microphones for adaptive noise cancelling, LDAC for higher-quality Bluetooth, and spatial sound with head tracking. Plug the included USB-C cable into a laptop and it plays lossless audio through its own DAC.

    The Smart Tx is what this version adds: a pocket transmitter with a touch screen. Plug it into the 3.5 mm jack of an in-flight entertainment system, a TV or a PC and it sends that sound to the headphones without wires. JBL rates the transmitter at 18 hours a charge, and it can also share audio over Auracast with other Auracast headphones or speakers.

    Worth knowing If you only listen from your phone, the transmitter is the part you won't use. It is one more thing to charge before a trip.

    608-Piece LEGO Icons: Botanical Collection - Poinsettia (10370, 2024)

    A 608-piece LEGO poinsettia in a woven-basket pot: a holiday plant that needs no water, for adult builders.

    LEGO set 10370 builds a 'Grande Italia' poinsettia: green leaves and five pointed clusters of red bracts with yellow centres, in a pot made to look like woven basket. The stems can be posed, so the plant can be shaped to fit a shelf or a table.

    Finished, LEGO gives it as just over 8 in. high, 8.5 in. wide and 6.5 in. deep, a size that sits on a desk or a mantel. It is part of LEGO's Botanicals line for adults, a one-evening build for most people, and it suits someone who likes the look of a seasonal plant without the care.

    Worth knowing LEGO marks it 18+. It is a display piece: no lights, and it reads as a holiday plant, so it may live in a box the rest of the year.

    The Quencher H2.0 FlowState is the 40 oz Stanley tumbler with the comfort-grip handle and a tapered base. Stanley says it keeps drinks cold for 11 hours and iced for 2 days, and that it fits most car cup holders.

    The lid turns between three positions: an opening for the reusable straw, a wider mouth for drinking, and a full cover. It is double-wall stainless steel and goes in the dishwasher. It suits someone who wants a big cold drink in the car or at a desk all day.

    Worth knowing Stanley itself says this tumbler is not fully leakproof, so it does not go in a bag on its side. Its insulation figures are for cold drinks.

    Vitamix 5200 Professional-Grade Blender, 64 oz. (Various Colors)

    Vitamix's long-running 5200: a 2 HP blender with a speed dial and a 64 oz container, for daily smoothies, soups and nut butters.

    List $500 · 40% off
    Price as of
    Shop on Amazon

    The 5200 is the plain Vitamix: a 2 HP motor, a variable speed dial from 1 to 10 and a High switch, and a 64 oz container with a tamper in the box. There are no programs, so you run it by hand, which some people prefer. Vitamix says it cleans itself in 30 to 60 seconds with warm water and a drop of soap.

    The models above it (Ascent, Propel) add blending programs and, on Ascent, containers the base recognises. If you want a dial and a switch, the 5200 is the simplest way into Vitamix.

    Worth knowing With the container on, Vitamix lists it at 20.5 in. tall, so it may not fit under upper cabinets. It is from Vitamix's Legacy series, not the newer lines.

    EcoFlow RAPID 25,000mAh 170W Laptop Power Bank w/ Dual 140W USB-C Ports

    A 25,000 mAh EcoFlow power bank that can charge a laptop at up to 140 W, small enough to carry onto a plane.

    EcoFlow's RAPID 25,000 mAh has two USB-C ports and one USB-A port. One USB-C port can give up to 140 W, enough for a 16-inch MacBook Pro, and all three together give up to 170 W. EcoFlow says it charges a MacBook about twice or a phone four to five times.

    It also takes 140 W in, and EcoFlow gives about 20 minutes from empty to half full with a fast charger. Its 90 Wh is under the 100 Wh line most airlines allow in the cabin.

    Worth knowing No built-in cable on this version (EcoFlow sells one with retractable cables). Full speed needs a 140 W charger and cable, and airline rules vary, so check yours.
