World traveler? Then you know that you can’t take the world with you every time you jet off. Or can you? Vasco and its new smart packing line of luggage wants to help you pack more efficiently, and by extension, just pack … more. With seven different bags and packing cubes on offer, Vasco believes that it can make any trip easier — at least from a luggage perspective.

Promising to both “maximize function and save space,” Vasco claims its bags help users pack properly and store essentials in an accessible manner. So what is the company offering? First, there are the packing cubes, which come in three sizes — small, medium, and large. The team says that these cubes feature unique compression zippers that compress their contents, which allows you to reduce the space your belongings take up by up to 60 percent.

Then, there’s the Vasco shoe bag, which allows you to pack your favorite walkers separately from your other items. Because obviously, you don’t want the soles of your shoes touching your new silk dress. This particular bag also claims to be made of an odor-absorbing material.

Vasco also has a cosmetics bag that can help organize your personal care products. And thanks to the diminutive size of this particular piece, you can rest assured that you’ll be able to store your beauty regimen in the smallest of bathrooms.

For your electronics, Vasco offers a bag that hopes to reduce the problem of tangled wires, too many chargers, and multiple accessories. The bag allows travelers to stack cables neatly, which ought to reduce the risk of damage.

And finally, there’s the Vasco travel wallet, which helps you keep all your important documents like passports, boarding passes, and more within reach. Rather than rummaging through your luggage to find those all important pieces of paper, this wallet helps you keep tabs on everything that matters. And thanks to its anti-theft RFID technology, you won’t have to worry about having your information stolen.

Currently, you can pre-order the entire seven-piece Vasco travel set for $109 from Kickstarter. Shipping is slated for December of 2017, so you’ll be able to start your holiday travels off right.

These Linkind smart bulbs are 37% off, and have one of the best apps I’ve used

I know some people think that a lot of smart home tech is frivolous, and some of it is, I'll agree, but there are certain things that make daily life a little better. For example, I have security cameras, a video doorbell, smart lights, a smart garage door, and all of these things make living in my home convenient. With my lights, for example, I can create on-off schedules and I don't have to get up to use them. After a long day, that's a welcome feature, believe me. It's especially helpful with Christmas lights and decorative lights -- like the ones I have set up to automatically turn on at sunset on my patio.

With a smart video doorbell, I can answer my door, converse with parcel delivery teams, and shoo off solicitors -- we get a lot of them where I live. But among all of those experiences and devices, one of my biggest qualms is with the apps you use to interact with this tech.

Skylight is a smart home company that produces a variety of smart display alternatives, such as the Skylight Cal Max. These serve as a central hub for all your daily planning -- they’re primarily used as a digital calendar, but you can also use them to track chores, make lists, or meal prep. That last aspect just became much more exciting, as Skylight is officially introducing Sidekick, an AI-powered assistant that can plan all your meals in just a few minutes.

Sidekick is a new AI feature for Skylight devices. It’s capable of generating personalized recipes based on your budget, family size, and dietary restrictions, and it’ll even create a shopping list and load up step-by-step cooking instructions. Skylight hopes the new feature will save families 10 hours every month, as they’ll no longer need to worry about the logistics surrounding meal prep.
