What Matt Walsh ofVeepCan’t Live Without

Cheese puffs or balls in a large, multi-gallon container bring me joy, because they imply bounty — cheese puffs for a month or so — plus, they’re a bargain. You can find these giant containers at dollar stores, but the more synthetic-looking and tasting, the better. You can keep a jug like this in the garage or above thelaundry machine.

This is for when I’m craving a sweet snack. I tend to make these a binge item, but there is nothing better than one of these delicious peanut treats. I like mass-produced junk food once in a while, what can I say?

Thisvibrating toothbrushwas a revelation in my life. I find it makes your teeth cleaner and it feels like you have technology on your side, running around inside your mouth killing all those cavities. You can also take it on the road for weekend travel, no need to bring the charger — it’s good for several days. It’s a counterbalance to my junk-food fixation.

I have several J.Crew flannels that have been in my wardrobe rotation for almost a decade. They hold up well, they’re not trying too hard, and they keep you super warm on a chilly day. What else do you want from a shirt?

As a pale person of Irish descent, I have to be aware of sun protection at all times. This oil-free sunscreen lotion allows me to do multiple applications throughout the day and it doesn’t look like I have soap caked on my face like with somesunscreens. It’s also reasonably priced.

This is maybe the most important app I have. It’s a calendar app that allows me and my wife to sync up our lives, and its color-coded for her events, my events, and the kids’ events, and we can invite people to our calendar so they can add stuff to it. It’s amazingly simple — even I consider myself proficient at it — and there’s a lot of neat tricks I won’t get into. Highly recommend for simplifying calendar stress.

I have had this wide-brim hat for several years, and I wear it every day, and it gets beaten up but still holds up. I love it because it breathes nicely and provides a ton of sun protection with its enormous brim.
