This high-tech growler ($64.95) keeps every sip of your IPA as carbonated and cold as when it was first poured for up to 24 hours. Plus you don’t have to worry about spills or recycling your bottles.

The Helmsman
Made in the USA, this sturdy, rolltop duffle bag ($265) puts many a flimsy picnic basket to shame. It’s weatherproof, expandable (more kimchi potato salad, please) and bike-friendly.
