The best gifts for Dad are thought of as being more practical—a wallet, a mug, that sort of thing. And that’s why I’ve been searching for low-cost bonus gifts for Dad that can even out the score without looking cheap. If you’re not after a classic cologne under $20 or a $20 custom engraved cutting board, then maybe this $20 travel bag from Osprey could be the perfect gift instead.
The Osprey Daylite Toiletry Kit bag is part of Amazon’s Father’s Day Shop collection and considered a top gift. It’s way nicer than the $20 price tag should ever allow, looks clean and sharp, and has some surprisingly practical travel tech hidden in plain sight. The bag is marked by Amazon with the rare “Customers usually keep this item” tag, and it will soon become clear as to why.
Material: Bluesign-approved 300D polyester with ripstop
Waterproofing: PFAS-free DWR treatment
Best Use Case: Storage of small travel items in a waterproof container.
Osprey is typically known for its hiking and travel backpacks, with essential waterproof options being a costly yet effective measure for keeping gear safe. This travel bag, filled with small compartments, is perfect for storing toiletries and TSA-approved bottles, and has a DWR treatment. That makes it a shockingly practical option as a day bag while you travel as well, ready to keep passports, notebooks, and more safe in case of a sudden downpour.
Of course, the Osprey Daylite Toiletry Kit is just nice in its own right. It looks sharp and is built with a high-density ripstop fabric. As such, it doesn’t matter whether your dad is the double-up plastic bag type or already a fan of Osprey travel packs; this makes for an obvious upgrade to his current array of gear.
One shopper’s review succinctly summarized it all: “Perfect size, lots of zippers and smaller compartments for organizing smaller items like Band-Aids and hair bands, etc. Great value and very sturdy.”
Other shoppers praised its “simple, sensible design.”
With the arrival of a new month, Netflix has added a whole array of popular movies to its United States catalog. The streaming giant regularly rotates films in and out of its inventory to keep its availability fresh, and the first of the month is always the biggest day for this.
This June, Netflix has added more than fifty popular movies and around fifteen existing series to its U.S. catalog for audiences to enjoy. This is in addition to the original programming, which will be spread out throughout the month.
Netflix Adds Four Action Movie Collections
The movies that Netflix adds every month are generally decided by existing licensing agreements, as movies typically drift between streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu to keep their audiences fresh. Since movie sequels are often owned by the same company, this means entire franchises can arrive on Netflix at once.
This month, Netflix is adding four major action movie franchises right away. The Rocky collection features Sylvester Stallone‘s beloved 1979 sports drama and four of its immediate sequels. The only installment that isn’t arriving on June 1 is Rocky II, as it was already available on the platform.
To complement the Rocky collection, Netflix is also adding all three Creed movies to its U.S. catalog. Starring Michael B. Jordan in the lead role, these legacy sequels take place many years after the Rocky movies and follow Stallone’s character as he mentors a new generation of boxing talent.
Netflix is also introducing the Karate Kid collection to its ad-free tier for the first time. This collection features the original 1980s trilogy and the 2010 Hollywood remake, but not the critically panned The Last Karate Kid from 1994.
Finally, Netflix is bringing the Riddick collection to its United States inventory. Starring Vin Diesel in the lead role, this trilogy follows a dangerous convict who leads a team of survivors after their spacecraft lands on a mysterious planet. All three movies were added to the platform on June 1, 2026.
More Movie Collections Coming To Netflix in June
Besides these four action collections, Netflix is also bringing franchises such as Father of the Bride and Scooby Doo to its catalog. These beloved comedies have previously been available on Netflix in the U.S. but were rotated to different platforms as part of the streamer’s licensing agreements.
For romance fans, Netflix is adding movies such as The Fault in Our Stars, The Wedding Planner, and Runaway Bride this month. There will also be no shortage of thrillers for the adrenaline junkie audience, including The Girl on the Train, Inside Man, and If I Can’t Have You.

Walmart’s house brands don’t get much editorial attention, but Athletic Works has been quietly producing functional activewear at prices that are much more affordable compared to Nike, Adidas, and other big names. Moisture-wicking tees, for example, usually run you $25 or more, and that’s just for a basic one. But this Athletic Works tee is under $10, and it’s getting huge brownie points from gym-going customers.
The bestselling Athletic Works Core Active Tee is available at Walmart for $9 in all colorways. Certain colors will go on sale from time to time, which means you can grab this shirt for as low as $3 in some cases (Smoky Lavender is $3 at the time of writing, but pricing can be finicky). But the main point is that for such an affordable shirt, it seems to deliver on quality—it has earned over 6,500 five-star ratings thus far and is showing no signs of slowing down.
Material: 100% polyester with Dri-Works moisture-wicking
Fit: Active
Care: Machine washable
Best For: Gym sessions, training, summer beater
This tee does exactly what a basic training tee should: wicks moisture, moves with you, and actually holds up in the wash. The Dri-Works fabric is the brand’s in-house moisture management tech, and it performs comparably to what you’d find in entry-level Dri-Fit gear from Nike. The reflective strip at the back is a small but useful detail for anyone running late at night or early in the morning.
When we see incredibly affordable pieces like this shirt on Walmart, it usually comes with some sort of catch, which is normally an additional shipping fee. This time around, there’s no additional shipping cost, which actually makes this a better deal than other low-priced picks on Walmart that hide the shipping cost.
One reviewer said, “The material is light and breathable. It’s a perfect workout shirt for the summer or a shirt to put on with some jeans.”
The quality is also surprising to some, especially for the price: “These wash and dry perfectly with no shrinkage, and the color holds fast without fading.” Another shopper said, “These have to be the best workout shirts you can get at this price point.”
Since it seems like TV shows are constantly premiering on or exiting Netflix, many series departures fly under the radar. However, it is a huge deal that five shows will be leaving Netflix in the coming months because they are all extremely popular with viewers. One of the departing series won 10 Emmy Awards and is also widely considered to be one of the best shows of all time.
With an iconic comedy, a pulse-pounding thriller, and a captivating horror hit representing only three of the major titles leaving, the Netflix library is taking some big hits. Read on to learn which shows are leaving and when. Then, be sure to cast your vote in our poll at the bottom of the page to tell us which loss is going to hurt the most.
A Massive Post-Apocalyptic Franchise Staple
On May 31, 2026, Kasey Moore of What’s on Netflix reported on five major shows that will be departing Netflix during the second half of 2026. The first of those series to exit will be Fear the Walking Dead. All eight seasons of the show will be leaving the streaming service on August 19, 2026. A wildly successful spin-off of The Walking Dead, the zombie horror show featured many highly talented actors, including Colman Domingo, Kim Dickens, and Cliff Curtis.
The Definitive ’90s Comedy Sensation
October 1, 2026, will be a dark day for the popular streaming service because all nine seasons of Seinfeld will be leaving Netflix. Widely regarded as one of the most iconic shows in television history, it won 10 Emmy Awards, including several acting awards and the biggest honor it was in the running for, Outstanding Comedy Series. Additionally, Variety once named it the eighth greatest TV show of all time, and Rolling Stone ranked it the sixth best TV show ever. Because the series made such a huge mark on pop culture, it turned its stars, Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Michael Richards, and Jason Alexander, into television legends.
The Long-Running, Critically Acclaimed Premium Drama
After many years of the comedy-drama being available to stream on the service, all 11 seasons of Shameless will depart Netflix on October 11, 2026. Adapted from a beloved series from the U.K., the show focused on the Gallagher family, one of television’s most unique clans ever. Highlighted by intelligent writing, it was also buoyed by incredible performances from William H. Macy, Emmy Rossum, Jeremy Allen White, Cameron Monaghan, and Noel Fisher.
The Iconic Early-2000s Teen Culture Phenomenon
After airing on the CW from 2007 until 2012, Gossip Girl became available to stream on Netflix. However, that is coming to an end as the series will be gone as of October 28, 2026. The teen drama was extremely popular at its peak as fans wanted to know what would happen next and who the titular Gossip Girl was. It starred Blake Lively, Penn Badgley, Leighton Meester, Chace Crawford, Taylor Momsen, Ed Westwick, Kelly Rutherford, Matthew Settle, and Jessica Szohr.
The Defining Modern Television Thriller
The last of the five hugely popular departing shows that will leave Netflix this year is an acclaimed thriller series created by Shonda Rhimes. All seven seasons of Scandal are exiting on December 17, 2026, which means there is still time for fans and new viewers to binge it before then. Focused on a crisis management group that helps the rich and powerful keep their controversies under wraps, the series captivated viewers for years and earned many awards. Part of the reason for that is because it boasted an incredible cast, which featured Kerry Washington, Tony Goldwyn, Bellamy Young, Jeff Perry, Joe Morton, Katie Lowes, Scott Foley, and Guillermo Díaz.
Dozens of people have complained to the Federal Trade Commission about Norse Atlantic Airways’ tech-first customer service operation. Some said they lost thousands of dollars.
A new grooming routine sometimes requires an extra dash of motivation, and Dr. Squatch is betting that the ever-sultry Megan Fox will give guys a shot in the arm as the company’s latest seductive ambassador.
(Dr. Squatch)
Now dubbed “Professor Fox,” the former Maxim cover star is the latest face of the popular grooming brand’s “Foundation for Odor eXcellence,” which the company says in clever fashion is “a place where boys can learn to deodorize like men,” thanks to top Dr. Squatch picks from the SKIMS ambassador, actress and model.
(Dr. Squatch)
Fox selected the “deodorant and soap formats she’d actually be impressed by a man using,” which assuredly might make a few Dr. Squatch products fly off the shelves. The brand is perhaps best known for its masculine, woodsy and ultra-clean scents, especially its thick natural bar soap, all the better to impress one Megan Fox.
The alluring Subservience star is introducing Dr. Squatch enthusiasts to a “3-prong attack” focused on better daily grooming, showcasing her favorites from the company in the Megan’s Picks Bundle, which includes a trio of her favorite Dr. Squatch scents (those would be Coastal Mist, Sierra Storm and Wood Barrel Bourbon).
The new Dr. Squatch “foundation” spotlights Fox-approved Invisible Glide Deodorant, Dr. Squatch Natural Spray and the company’s Wax Stick, each infavorite scents selected by the Jennifer’s Body and Transformers star. Fox appears in a series of playful and sensual ads across a series of 30 and 60-second spots, showcasing that class is in session in a whole new way (fresh scents and eye-catching looks from Professor Fox very much included).
With selections including cologne, moisturizing bar soap and an array of naturally formulated selections in rich scents, Dr. Squatch says the Expendables 4 actress “is here to teach you how to level up your routine and let your stick do the talking.” With the Dr. Squatch Megan’s Picks Bundle available now, incorporating some seriously motivating, Megan Fox-approved grooming into your daily routine is practically a summer must-have.
When it comes to rock and metal bands, the lead singers and guitarists usually get all of the love, while the drummers and bass players are in the back, largely ignored by excited crowds. Even outside of rock and metal music, the role of the rhythm section is often overlooked, which is a shame, because it’s one of the most important pieces of any dynamic group.
But musicians such as Keith Moon, John Bonham, Neil Peart and Stewart Copeland remain among the most popular rock drummers of all time, so there are ways these important players are getting attention.
Now, a 1984 rock hit is being recognized for having one of the greatest drum solos of all time. It’s a fun song that still plays well today.
A Van Halen Classic Has a Drum Solo That Keeps Rocking Hard
“Right from the start, Alex Van Halen kicks ‘Hot for Teacher’ into high gear with an explosive double-bass drum solo,” he states in the feature. “It’s fast, it’s intense and it sets the tone for one of Van Halen’s most energetic songs.”
Joubert adds that this drum solo is “pure rock ‘n’ roll excitement – it makes you want to grab some sticks and try (key word: try) to keep up.” That’s definitely the case, because this solo rocks fast and hard, just the right way.
If you’re looking for a fun song to crank as loud as possible this summer that never gets old, “Hot for Teacher” fits the bill. The cherry on top is that it does showcase Alex Van Halen’s legendary drumming, and that kicks it into high gear and gives it an energetic sound that it just wouldn’t have without his drumming. Van Halen’s music served as the blueprint for hair metal, and “Hot for Teacher” was a large part of it.
The greatest rock songs of all time are led by iconic guitar riffs and solos, but bolstered by the best percussionists of their time.
Among the more underrated drummers of all time was Bill Ward, the drummer of Black Sabbath. While underrated, Ward did receive acclaim for his work on Rat Salad, a song from the band’s second album Paranoid.
Far Out Magazine ranked Ward’s work as one of the greatest drum solos of all time.
“His drum solo is visceral and as hard-hitting as any on the list. Funky yet metal, he makes a bold claim as rock’s most underrated drummer,” Far Out Magazine wrote. “The fills that make up the solo are so quick that there’s a definitive jazz influence that shines through, this provides a different account of Bill Ward’s drumming.”
‘Rat Salad’ Was Born out of Black Sabbath’s Early Career
Geezer Butler says that the instrumental “Rat Salad” resulted from Black Sabbath having to play epic stands in rock clubs early in their career. To fill time, the band would improvise and jam.
“Bill used to fill out a whole 45 minutes doing a drum solo just to get rid of that 45 minutes,” Butler recalled. “I have no idea where the title came from, though.”
While Rat Salad isn’t the most well known song from Black Sabbath, Eddie Van Halen revealed it was nearly the title of their band – before later opening for Black Sabbath.
“Yeah, that’s right. We played just about every Black Sabbath song. I used to sing lead on every Black Sabbath song we did—things like Into the Void, Paranoid, and Lord of This World,” Van Halen revealed.
Ward, meanwhile, recently celebrated his 78th birthday.
Visitors to Las Vegas are used to eye-popping excess. But even the most jaded high-rollers must have raised an eyebrow at the $1.1 billion worth of automobiles assembled at Wynn Golf Club on a Saturday morning in early November for the fourth annual Concours at Wynn Las Vegas. Nearly 7,000 collectors, industry figures, and enthusiasts showed up for the biggest edition yet, with more than double the number of vehicles on display from 2024.
Presented by Richard Mille—the Swiss luxury watchmaker known for producing timepieces that cost as much as supercars and inking high-end motorsports partnerships with the likes of Ferrari and McLaren—the event occupies a unique position in the concours world, where traditional judged exhibition fields meet Las Vegas glam and contemporary car culture. The automotive art celebrates traditional historical concours elegance alongside sheer celebrations of speed.

For example, 46 Bugatti Veyrons—the largest gathering in history—assembled to mark the hypercar’s 20th anniversary. More than 40 Paganis were also on hand, marking the most ever displayed in North America. And some 230 Lamborghinis represented the Italian marque’s full history, from one of only 13 Veneno hypercars to a 2R tractor from the company’s agricultural origins in the early 1960s.
The weekend saw several automotive world debuts as well. Horacio Pagani himself presented the $7 million-plus Pagani Huayra Codalunga Speedster, while McLaren, which has been ramping up its participation in the Wynn Concours since the event’s inauguration, unveiled its Project: Endurance 24 Hours of Le Mans customer car to the public for the first time with a presentation from British racing icon Derek Bell. You might say McLaren is the local marque of choice, as it operates the McLaren Experience Center at the Wynn, a buzzy retail and brand-activation space.

Then there was another living legend, Christian von Koenigsegg, who accompanied his $5 million-plus, 1,600-horsepower hypercar, Sadair’s Spear. Plus, the incredible Rolls-Royce Phantom Centenary Private Collection, worth $3 million and celebrating a century of the Phantom nameplate, had its North American premiere. Hans Werner Aufrecht, co-founder of iconic performance brand AMG, was also in attendance, adding further gravitas to the proceedings.
“Concours at Wynn Las Vegas has quickly become a benchmark for modern Concours events,” says classic car expert Chris Kramer, Co-Chief Judge for Concours at Wynn Las Vegas. “The mix of spectacular vehicles and unbeaten hospitality makes it a must-visit event for every car enthusiast. To say that I am proud to be a small part of it is an understatement. The judging process becomes increasingly harder year to year, and I cannot wait to see what vehicles come out in 2026.”

The weekend also saw Broad Arrow’s inaugural Las Vegas auction, which racked up $13.7 million in sales, moving 82 percent of the lots offered. The star performer: a “stock” Bugatti Veyron that commanded a record-breaking $2.2 million. The judged competition, meanwhile, recognized excellence across multiple categories and eras. Billionaire collector Bruce McCaw’s 1929 Mercedes-Benz 680 S Barker Tourer took PreWar Best of Show honors, while Brian and Kimberly Ross’s 1951 Ferrari 212 Export claimed PostWar Best of Show. Class winners spanned the breadth of modern automotive evolution, from collectors Rob and Jeannie Hilarides’s 1929 Duesenberg Model J in the Great Gatsby Era category, to Austen Segal’s 1986 Porsche 911 in the Women-Owned and Driven class.

The 2025 lineup featured classes celebrating significant anniversaries and marques. A Mercedes-Benz 125th Anniversary class honored the German manufacturer’s legacy, while Jaguar’s 90th anniversary was also marked; Jeremy and Laura Lee McChesney’s 1955 Jaguar D-Type took top honors in that category. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, and Porsche each had their own dedicated classes as well, with winners ranging from Jim Gianopulos’s 1964 Lamborghini 350 GT to Carlos Urrutia’s 1971 Porsche 911 S Coupe.

Special recognition went to several automotive luminaries through the Honorary Helene Awards, named after a pioneering woman in automotive design. The family of Steve McQueen, the “King of Cool,” received the Wynn Lifetime Achievement award, while Horacio Pagani was named Most Celebrated Automotive Designer. Beth Myers, who has her own car museum in Pennsylvania, earned the title of Most Celebrated Collector, with Ron Sturgeon of the DFW Car & Toy Museum recognized as Connoisseur Collector. Architect and Maserati expert Jonathan Segal received the Wynn Innovator honor, and entrepreneur Kevin Hooks was acknowledged as Legendary Collector.
“Concours at Wynn Las Vegas continues to redefine what’s possible for a modern Concours,” notes Brian Gullbrants, Chief Operating Officer of Wynn Resorts North America. “This year’s event united collectors, visionaries, and the world’s most extraordinary automobiles in an absolutely gorgeous setting that captured both the excitement of Las Vegas and the hospitality excellence Wynn is known for.”

That hospitality component shouldn’t be understated. Wynn Resorts holds more Forbes Travel Guide Five Star Awards than any other independent hotel company globally and landed on Fortune magazine’s 2024 World’s Most Admired Companies list. The property’s 4,748 rooms, suites, and villas stretch across two impressive towers, providing the kind of accommodations that match the caliber of machines on display. Add about 194,000 square feet of casino space, 20 dining venues, 14 bars, two spas, 174,000 square feet of retail, two showrooms, two nightclubs, a beach club, and an 18-hole championship golf course, and you have a property suited to host world-class automotive gatherings on a whole other level. Steve Wynn, the casino mogul and connoisseur who founded Wynn Resorts and built the property in 2005, is himself a car collector of some renown.
What sets this concours apart from traditional lawn events in Pebble Beach or Amelia Island is its embrace of all facets of automotive culture, from pre-war elegance and post-war racing heritage to hypercars, supercars, and even restomods, which have their own award. Beyond typical concours d’elegance honors, judges handed out a Wynn Secret Agent award to Joel and Kim Laub’s 1965 Jaguar XKE FHC, a Life in the Fast Lane prize to Tom Radom’s 1994 Jaguar XJ220, and the Wynn Dream Machine recognition to Kevin Hooks’s 1993 Honda NSX Type R.

Insurance moguls McKeel and Soon Hagerty’s 1933 Duesenberg Model J Torpedo Victoria received the Louis XIII award, while The John Shirley Collection’s 1951 Ferrari 212 MM earned the Spirit of Wynn honor, and Tom Maoli’s 1933 Duesenberg SJ Dual Cowl Phaeton won Wynn Rolling Sculpture. Most Elegant awards in both Pre-War and Post-War categories further recognized exceptional design: the William Lyon family’s 1937 Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster and Jonathan and Wendy Segal’s 1955 Maserati A6GCS, respectively.
The latest edition of Concours at Wynn Las Vegas showed once and for all that the oft-maligned gambling mecca can host a world-class concours without pretending to be Pebble Beach, and do it with serious style. Plans are already underway for the 2026 edition; if the trajectory holds, expect even more rarities, high-dollar debuts, and reasons for the global car-collector community to make the pilgrimage to the desert.
