Vintage Vibes

Keep drinks cold in retro style with this VW Bus Cooler, a reproduction of an early-model VW Samba van. A side-lock lid, retractable handle, rust-resistant finish and rubber tires that really roll make it as functional as it is fanciful. This beauty is ready to hit the road—or take a spin around the deck. nordstrom.com

Sleep Aid

The Medium Support down-alternative pillow from Dreampad does more than cradle your weary head in light, comfy softness—it also plays music. Dreampad used the latest sleep research findings to develop a library of sounds and vibrations that induce a calming effect, leading to improved sleep quality and reduced stress. You just might turn into a morning person. dreampadsleep.com

Libation Innovation

Hydroflask’s condensation-proof, powder-coated stainless steel rocks glass provides practicality and indulgence in one 10-ounce vessel. High-tech insulation prevents ice from melting for 24 hours, so you can chill an adult beverage in your camping pack or beach bag without worrying about dilution when it’s time to toast. hydroflask.com

Fish Tale

Introducing The History of Fly-Fishing Book and Corkscrew, the perfect gift for anyone whose travel bucket list revolves around fly- fishing. The 224-page volume acts as a guide to the sport’s storied history, from early lures to cutting-edge design to tying techniques. Keep the wooden-handled, fish-shaped corkscrew and bottle opener close at hand near the reading nook and on the river. oliveandcocoa.com
