Useful Toy
$60–$70
A well-designed wireless controller with Hall Effect sticks, fast bumpers, a charging dock, and compatibility across PC, Android, SteamOS, and Apple.
Better than most first-party controllers for PC and does not look like it was designed for a 14-year-old's bedroom.See it →
Worth the Upgrade
~$219.99
A premium handheld built for original Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance cartridges. Beautiful hardware for people who kept the cartridges.
If you have a shoebox of Game Boy cartridges somewhere, you already know you want this.See it →
Useful Toy
~$149
A phone gimbal/stabilizer with subject tracking, built-in extension rod, and tripod. Makes phone video look like someone intended it.
If you film anything on your phone and have ever watched it back with mild disappointment, this is the fix.See it →
Worth the Upgrade
~$599
A backyard gas pizza oven that reaches 950°F and cooks a real Neapolitan pizza in 60 seconds. It is a grown-up toy that produces dinner.
Fair warning: this will become a hobby. Your first pizza will be good. Your tenth will be dangerously good. The accessories will multiply.See it →
