With the winter months upon us, you probably spend more time indoors than before, which means air quality inside your home can take a nosedive. The Pure Fan Auto from Blueair promises to remove common pollutants using dual filtration technology, making sure the air you breathe is fresh and clean. It takes just 20–30 minutes to purify an average room, and then you can set it to auto mode, so the purifier increases speed when it detects higher particle levels. It also boasts night mode, which Blueair says is quieter than a whisper at 25 decibels — and is fairly portable too, weighing just more than 10 pounds and measuring 15.5 by 12.9 by 11.2 inches. $299.99.

This OLED Sony TV has garnered rave reviews since its release, earning praise for its top-notch image and sound quality. It even overcomes a common problem with OLED models — namely their poor performance in bright light — performing well even under demanding conditions. The larger 65-inch model is modest compared to some of the TVs on the market, but it’s plenty big enough for most people, and the performance is best in class. $2,999.

Hydration has become a key wellness trend in recent years, with personal water bottles skyrocketing in popularity. One issue is how to keep them clean, but LARQ has come up with a sleek solution. By building in a UV-C light, the brand’s bottle sanitizes itself as well as the water inside, all in one minute. Just charge it once a month to keep it working. Another bonus: The insulated design means your drink will stay hot or cold longer. 17-ounce, $99; 25-ounce, $118.

If you’re dreaming about a trip to Japan, you’re not alone. Last month, Japan welcomed 2.52 million visitors — more than doubling the pre-COVID-19 levels of February 2020. My teenagers and I started planning our Thanksgiving week vacation to Tokyo six months ago after I scored amazing round-trip tickets on United Airlines using miles. Never having been to Japan, I crowdsourced tips and recommendations from friends before we left; I also learned a lot during our recent trip. Here are seven useful tips to know before you go:
