Vosteed Corgi V Doodle Monster
Vosteed’s Corgi V, which features its unique pivot-based Vanchor lock, is among the brand’s best releases. Now, that knife has gotten an extremely playful stylistic update as a part of the Doodle Monster series, which applies G-10 scales in a black, green and blue doodle scheme on a white or black background. But this isn’t the only knife in the series. Two of the brand’s other most popular folders, the Marten and Porcupine, are also included in the collection.
MattelAston Martin Vantage GT3 Mattel Brick Set
Mattel is looking to rival Lego and to showcase its efforts, the company just released its latest HotWheels tribute to the Aston Martin Vantage GT3 racecar. Consisting of nearly 800 pieces, the kit might challenge even some of the most skilled brick builders. But the end result is a nearly 1:16 scale replica of one of the British automaker’s coolest cars to date, which features functioning steering, doors and intricate details under the hood. And to complement the package just for fun, HotWheels includes a 1:64 scale diecast model of the same car. But the best part, the Mattel Brick Set, affordably starts at just above $50.
NoahNoah Sailor Smock
This nautical-inspired smock, more commonly known as an anorak in America, is made from 100-percent cotton twill with a peached finish that creates a velvety-soft feel. It has a pointed collar, and the open neck placket is secured with a single button tab. The back is pleated for a tapered fit, there is a single button-flap chest pocket and the cuffs are adjustable with a button tab.
SonySony WF-1000XM6
The Sony WF-1000XM6 are the company’s new flagship wireless earbuds with active noise cancellation. As next-gen versions of the 2023-released WF-1000XM5, they have been updated in numerous ways. They promise significantly better active noise cancellation, sound and call quality. Sony tweaked the design and shape of the earbuds, making them 11 percent slimmer (but not necessarily smaller) and more ergonomic so they fit more securely in your ears. Additionally, they’re compatible with a new app, Sony Sound Connect, that lets you further fine-tune EQ and audio settings. Available in two finishes: black or platinum silver.
