The Igloo Playmate is made of plastic. It doesn’t look like a family heirloom. But dang if I don’t expect to inherit one. My family has had the same indestructible Igloo Playmate cooler since before I was born. It traveled with us to every lake, every river, and every dusty campsite of my childhood. And it is still in my parents’ garage. I’ve developed so much affection for the thing, over so long, I expect to one day claim it.

I’m not saying you need to have these same feelings, for a utilitarian cooler. Even if it’s the perfect party cooler for a couple six-packs, the way this one is. But just know that this $20 decision is a $20 decision that could last you a lifetime. So few things do, in these changeable times

The first time I left the country, it was to visit several other places: Shanghai, Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Busan, Seoul, and Hong Kong. It was a whirlwind 21-day adventure and I was determined to avoid checking any luggage. My partner and I purchased two of these bags for the trip, and we are still using them 7 years later.

The Farpoint 40 is lightweight and durable, with sturdy zippers, a padded back, packable backpack straps, and a couple of carrying handles. There’s a roomy inner compartment, a dedicated laptop pocket, and zip pockets on the front for things like shoes, keys, and passports. And there are internal cinch straps to help compress your clothes or cubes, plus a chest strap to help distribute the load while you’re walking around. I’ve overstuffed this thing more than once and it’s still holding up fantastically.

One thing to note—this is technically a men’s backpack, and it did occasionally feel a little topsy-turvy on my 5’1″ not-man body. Osprey makes a women’s version of the same bag, which I have not tried. Either way, this is a great deal, matching the best discount we’ve seen for it on Amazon.

While I’m sharing my TV takes: Antennas are also great. You can avoid paying for a super-premium streaming package that includes live TV if you have one for sports and big news events to supplement HBO Max Max HBO Max.

Our pick for most people is the Mohu Leaf, which comes out to $40 right now if you clip the 20% off coupon on top of the listed discount. It will pay for itself in a month of canceling Sling TV.

My first car was the ancient minivan that once toted my siblings to and from school. Since then, I’ve always driven Gently-Yet-Thoroughly Used, slightly older vehicles. Instead of Bluetooth, I had a radio transmitter; Instead of an aux cable, I had a cassette adapter. I’m now the proud owner of a 2015 sedan that got a CarPlay upgrade, but if I wasn’t, I’d consider this deal.

The $10 Bokilino cup holder phone mount will hold your screen, which will come in handy if you don’t have one already. It won’t obstruct your windshield like some other mounts might, but you’ll still be able to check Waze at a glance. It has a flexible, adjustable gooseneck that can be tweaked to your heart’s content but won’t move around too much while you’re driving. And it should fit your cup holders, no matter their size. When’s the last time you upgraded your car for $10?
