Of all the tech that has seen large-scale adoption over the last few years, few have caught on faster than drones. The remote-controlled flying cameras have almost become a common household item, with their ability to capture stunning aerial photography and ease of use. And since their first introduction, prices have dropped to a point where it’s now easy for hobbyists to get their hands on this impressive technology.

The video standard for most drones is 4K, which means the photographs and videos you take will be captured in a genuinely impressive quality. Smart features allow the drones to fly unencumbered, automatically avoiding hazards like power lines and trees, while auto-stabilization systems allow for a seamless and uninterrupted footage experience. Even better, a majority of drones on the market have built-in GPS to allow them to fly back on their own accord.

A wood pellet stove uses small, capsule-like wood pieces to power and heat a flame that’s more than capable of providing the heat you need in a living room. Easy to clean and install, they’re less hassle than fireplaces but give you all the coziness of a real fire.

Every journey begins with a single step—but who wants to travel in shoes that make each step a chore? If the well-made shoes you love no longer offer the comfort your feet crave, an insole can often help make the difference between a pair you wear occasionally and a pair you wear all the time.

These insoles slip into your shoes easily and improve the support every pair offers. This makes it easy (and relatively inexpensive) to give your shoes improved support, cushioning and even grip. They’re a quick way to make your old favorites feel brand new again, and a good way to delay having to re-sole a benchmade pair.

The Best Silk Sheets for a Luxurious Night’s Sleep by William Goodman

There are a number of factors that can contribute to (or take away from) a great night’s sleep, but critical among them are the quality of your sheets. And while cotton versions are great, silk offers a much more luxurious alternative.

While we typically think of silk as something to wear, dressing our beds in the material is a quick way to upgrade a sleeping experience. Silk sheets are measured in Mommes, which are not inherently dissimilar to thread counts, but refer to the weight of the silk itself; the higher the Momme, the better it’s going to feel on your skin. Speaking of your skin, there are naturally occurring amino acids in silk sheets that will help you improve your skin and your hair, as well as helping to curb the presence of dust mites to aid those with allergies.

Perhaps more than any other item of clothing, caring for trousers can be complicated.

There’s only a small handful of things more frustrating than getting out of the bath or shower only to find that your towel is still damp from the last time you used it. No one likes a towel that can’t efficiently dry you—or get dry afterward. And this is where a Turkish-style towel can come in handy.

As evidenced by their namesake, Turkish towels are made in Turkey from some of the best cotton in the world. The long-staple cotton grown in the country is abundant, and is often used to make towels that are supremely absorbent and dry a lot faster than traditional towels. There are even plenty of versions that are large enough to go from the bath to the beach or poolside—or anywhere else you might need a reliable way to dry off quickly. Here, a selection of the best Turkish towels money can buy.
