We recommend the Sharpie Gel Highlighters if you need to highlight on superthin paper—like in a book or manual. These fluorescent-hued crayons go on dry and don't bleed through. However, during testing we found the broad tip is less accurate and smeared handwritten ink and pencil notes more than our top highlighter pick. Overall they’re great for their specific use and we rarely see a dip in price.

Finding the perfect writing tool is immensely satisfying, and Erasable Gel Ink Pens are an excellent option. Unlike other cheap, messy, erasable pens that don't fully erase, this option writes like a good gel pen, erases cleanly, and has a comfortable grip. Note that the erasing is temperature-based, so if you find yourself in extreme climates your written notes could be prone to disappearing and reappearing.

It’s never a bad idea to have extra USB chargers on hand, and if you prefer a tiny single-port USB-C charging brick, Aukey has replaced their older 18-watt charger with a new 20-watt version. With the right charging cable it can supply enough power to fast charge most phones, and the Minima will work with Apple Magsafe wireless charging.

Instant coffee is an ideal solution when you need a quick hit of caffeine. This instant coffee was a polarizing pick among our testers. Some wrote, "it tastes like coffee that’s been sitting in a glass carafe for hours and has boiled beyond recognition,” while others thought that it offered “good acid, long sweetness, and nice toasty notes at the end." If you already like Starbucks coffee, you'll probably enjoy this option too.

Entireworld’s Loop Back Sweatshorts are slightly blousy, high-quality sweatshorts made of Japanese terry fabric. They have a solid 3.5-inch inseam for women's sizes with added details like binding at the hems. One of our editors spoke highly of these organic cotton and polyester shorts because they’re comfortable enough to lounge in, not too warm to sleep in, and not embarrassing to run errands in.
