My Favorite Things · 2 picks

Stuff I bought, use daily, and would buy again.

A small, slowly-growing list of things that earned a spot in my life — from travel gear to kitchen tools to the small upgrades that punch above their price.

Heads up: some of the links below are affiliate links. If you buy through one, I get a few cents from the retailer at no extra cost to you. The picks are always real, never sponsored.

Anker

Anker Laptop Power Bank, 25,000mAh Portable Charger with Triple 100W USB-C Ports, Built-in Retractable Cables, Flight-Approved for Travel, iPhone 17/16 Series, MacBook, Samsung, and More

Travelling is a breeze with this Anker battery. I can charge my Macbook, iPad, iPhone, and watch all at once. The retractable cable makes it even better, meaning I have to carry fewer cables throughout the day. I love this thing!

A 7-litre sling that swallows a 14-inch MacBook Pro, a 13-inch iPad, and the daily odds and ends, then rides flat across your chest or one shoulder. The organised pockets keep everything from rattling around, and it is small enough to be the only bag on a light travel day.
