If you’ve traveled with a carry-on, you know how important it is to find the right one. Flimsy ones can leave you with your clothes splayed out all over the place at the airport. Ones that are too heavy might put you over the weight limit if you fly an airline that puts weight limits on carry ons. Also, the right price point is very important. If you’re going to pay a lot for a suitcase, you’ll want to make sure it won’t crack in a year’s time, especially if you’re always traveling. The folks at Arlo Skye came up with a suitcase that’s stylish, sleek and functional.

Made of 7 micron anodized aluminum magnesium alloy, the Arlow Skye carry-on comes in three colorways: penguin black, sardine silver, or champagne. It weighs only 9.2 pounds, full-grain leather handles, integrated TSA locks, anti-microbial, high density lining, silent run Lisof wheels, and it holds 32 liters. Designed in New York, and assembled in China, the carry-on will go with you wherever you bring it. Plus, you get more than just a suitcase. Included are two removable compression, packing panels, one laundry bag, a set of notecards featuring the Art of Daydreaming series by James Magnusson, one portable charger with a charging cable, two shoe bags, and one full-grain leather name tag.

The design team behind the Arlo Skye carry-on took to the sky for inspiration, thinking about stargazing, pondering, and dreaming. They say, “if you’re going to get lost in the clouds, you might as well do it with elegance.” With the Arlo Skye carry-on, you can do that and much more.

‘Stranger Things’ season 5 is basically ‘eight movies’ according to one of the stars

The show's fifth season still doesn't have a definitive return date yet.

Stranger Things is set to conclude with its fifth and final season almost a full decade after the first season premiered. One of the reasons for the wait ahead of season 5, though, is apparently that the eight episodes in the fifth season are incredibly long.

Maya Hawke, who joined the show as Robin Buckley in its third season, recently appeared on Podcrushed to discuss the upcoming season, and particularly how long it took to make.

Cyber Monday deal: For just $150, this game table offers foosball, 15 other games

A family play's foosball on Segmart's 16-in-1 game table.

It's a modern fact that we spend too much time playing with tech and not enough time spending time in the real, physical world, bonding through shared experience, touch, and the tactile. And many of the best Cyber Monday deals will attest to this — we're seeing great Cyber Monday iPad deals, for instance. At the same time, we're also seeing great Cyber Monday Under Armour deals, Cyber Monday Nike deals, and Cyber Monday protein powder deals that people are happily snatching up, a sign that many of us are ready to get back to the physical. One excellent way to do so is with a game table. This one we found in Walmart's Cyber Monday deals includes 16 games, with a combination of active classics like foosball and some board games like checkers and backgammon, is over 50% off. Usually priced at $310, it can be yours now for $150, saving you $160 while this Cyber Monday deal lasts. Tap the button below to see it yourself or keep reading for more information.

Why you should buy the Segmart 16-in-1 game table
The Segmart 16-in-1 game table comes in a brown wood or red color configuration. It sits on the floor in an approximately 2-foot by 4-foot rectangle, reaching 3 feet in height, making it great for typically-sized children of 8+. There are exchangeable, stackable boards that bring out different game types to the tabletop, but other accessories you'll need (paddles or the foosball "players" are examples) to get it all to work.

Thanksgiving is over and deals season has officially landed. And what has also landed is Cyber Monday deals on cool tech toys like drones. This DJI Mini 4K, a drone light enough to avoid FAA registration, is now just $239. That's significant because it makes it the most affordable of the highest-rated DJI drones in Amazon's Cyber Monday deals selection right now. It is also significant because its usual price is $299, meaning you're saving $60 or 20% off the usual price when you purchase this deal. To do so, or at least check out the DJI Mini 4K on your own, simply tap the button below. Otherwise, keep on reading to see why we love this drone and think it'll make a fantastic Cyber Monday gift for you or someone in your family.

Why you should buy the DJI Mini 4K
The DJI Mini 4K drone has simple controls, a 4K camera, and a 10-kilometer (just over 6.2 miles) video transmission. This camera has gimbal stabilization for a stable picture even as you move about. Other features include a 31-minute max battery life (environmental conditions and flight behaviors will affect this), the ability to "return home" automatically, and wind-resistant flight. As you get more experienced with the drone, you can opt for larger battery sets for more extended flight times. Perhaps most importantly, it is 249 grams, just under the critical 250-gram mark for FAA registration when you fly for recreational purposes.
