Capture innovative aerial footage that looks like it came from a drone with a simple toss of this Nerf football look-a-like.

Columbia Omni-Heat 3D Base Layer Tight ($90) and Crew Top ($90)

Burnout mug – $100
Burnout is a temperature regulating mug that’ll keep your coffee or hot chocolate at the just the right temperature for drinking. It’s perfect for lounging around the campfire. The mug uses HeatZorb, a bio-based polymer that changes from a solid to a liquid at 140 degrees. When a hot drink is poured into the cup, the HeatZorb absorbs the heat from your coffee and cools it until it reaches this critical phase change temperature. At this point, the HeatZorb solid turns to a liquid and starts transferring heat back to your coffee or cocoa. This cooling and heating cycle keeps your drink the perfect temp for up to three hours.
