Crack open a fresh one with Brewsees Eyewear

One would think that having a bottle opener on your keychain was enough, but lately we’ve seen bottle openers designed into all kinds of products, including jackets and now sunglasses. Brewsees Eyewear ($40) was created with the idea that the times when you need sunglasses and the times when you need a bottle opener are often one and the same. At first, we were a bit concerned with the idea simply because none of the sunglasses we own would be strong enough to withstand the stress of popping open a beer bottle. But Brewsees has everything covered. Each pair of shades is made from 6061 airplane-grade anodized aluminum (tough stuff) and a polycarbonate frame to ensure that your sunglasses will stay in prime condition no matter how many beers you drink.

Best of all, the bottle-opening design is sporty and not as obvious as one would think. The arms of the frames have a bottle opener at the end that tucks behind your ear, meaning it won’t get noticed until someone needs a hand. Each pair of Brewsees has 100% UV Protections and even comes with Polarized lenses, which is a coup for the price tag. A signature koozie with the clever mantra “Real Men Pry” completes the package. Our only hope is that this clever brand will expand to include more designs. Maybe a wayfarer and an aviator will be next?

Top Smart Home Upgrades Worth Making Before Your Summer Break
From outdoor monitoring to smarter front-door security, these EZVIZ devices combine smart protection with daily convenience
Person, Security, Electronics

Summer often brings a welcome change of routine for homeowners across Europe. Family holidays, weekend getaways, and longer days spent outdoors mean more time away and fewer opportunities to stay connected to what's happening back at the property. While it's a season for slowing down and enjoying the warmer months, everyday responsibilities don't simply pause. Deliveries still arrive, visitors may stop by unexpectedly, and trusted family members, cleaners, or pet sitters may occasionally need access while you're away.

Modern smart home technology makes those situations easier to manage. Today's connected devices can do far more than record footage or send motion alerts. They can help homeowners monitor outdoor spaces around the clock, stay informed about important activity, communicate with visitors remotely, and manage entry without needing to be physically present. Instead of constantly checking in or wondering whether everything is running smoothly back home, the right setup can provide greater visibility, convenience, and peace of mind throughout the season.

Person, Security, Tape

Battery-powered smart cameras have become one of the fastest-growing categories in home monitoring. Once valued primarily for their seamless installation, today's models combine advanced visual technology, AI-powered intelligence, and dependable long-term performance that rivals many traditional wired systems. As innovations such as Always On Video 2.0 and solar charging continue to improve everyday usability, battery cameras are becoming the preferred choice for homeowners seeking flexible, comprehensive outdoor protection.

This shift has also raised expectations. Modern users want more than clear video. They expect smart detection, reliable monitoring, seamless smart home integration, and solutions that adapt to different property sizes and lifestyles. As one of the world's leading smart home camera brands, EZVIZ has responded by building one of the industry's most comprehensive portfolios of battery-powered cameras. The lineup is designed to serve every living situation, whether for renters or owners of apartments, condominiums, or villas. From accessible options for everyday monitoring to advanced multi-lens systems for larger and more demanding environments, the portfolio reflects a strong focus on innovation, user-centric design, and real-world needs.
