1/ The 2-in-1 thermos.

Here's how to travel lightly stay hydrated, and cut down on single-use plastic: Just pack the CamelBak MultiBev [$52; camelbak.com]. The full thermos can keep 22 ounces of water chilled for hours but the real genius is the lower portion, which screws off as a separate 16-ounce cup. Use it to carry coffee without a paper cup, to brew in your hotel room, or help keep a regular-size can cold. The MultiBev's two-part lid holds a reusable silicone sipping lid to prevent spills. Unlike those massive, insulated thermoses, this one fits into your car's cupholder.

2/ Slick surround sound.
