The days have been so taxing lately.
POP
Baked by Melissa
What: New York has succumbed; now Melissa’s bite-size cupcakes ($38 for 50) are set to take on the rest of the country. Rush shipping means the nine cheerful flavors can be tomorrow’s afternoon sugar fix.
Why: They’re the dessert version of potato chips; you can’t stop at just one.

POUR
Nazareth Olive Oil
What: Austin and Nazareth-based company distributes EVOO ($15) cold-pressed from the fruit of pesticide- and fertilizer-free Souri trees in the famed valley. Expect a clean taste with hints of butter, nuts, and pepper.

PROTECT
Tocca Sunscreen Towelettes
What: Individual wipes ($28 for an eight-pack) saturated with SPF 30+ protection, vitamins, and nourishing ingredients that won’t leave you smelling like a sun-stroked coconut.

FILL UP
Bobbles
What: Reusable canteens ($10) feature activated carbon filter tops that eliminate chlorine, funny tastes, and odors as you drink — and come in six great colors.
Why: Portable potability: The water fountain at the highway rest stop just doesn’t fill you with confidence.
