1. A microwave rice and quinoa cooker designed to stop water from overflowing so you can make the base of your dinner in less time, which is especially great if you get hangry. No more wasting 20 minutes just to make some dang rice. Plus, you can totally use this chic bowl to serve whatever you've cooked in it, which means fewer dishes for you. And that's a win-win-win.
Promising review: "My rice never came out right. I didn’t want to buy an electric rice maker, so when I saw this product, I liked the idea that I could store it easily. I followed directions and I made perfect rice in my microwave. I have since used It to make excellent quinoa, couscous, and all varieties of rice except brown (I don’t care for taste). One of best kitchen products I have purchased." —Irene S
Get it from The Grommet for $25.
2. A magnetic utensil set that'll fit together nicely on your counter and take up minimal space while still being super easy to grab when you're cooking dinner.
3. A set of nesting mixing bowls in coordinating ombre colors that may just make you feel like the newest star of Food Network when you ~whip~ up something sweet in the kitchen.
Promising review: "I love these mixing bowls. The packaging is very beautiful and classy. The bonus for me is the black rings in the bottom to prevent the bowls from sliding around on the counter when you’re mixing/whisking. I bought them for making pancakes, but I use them for everything now. The set is a nice upgrade from using a regular soup bowl for mixing." —SARITA
Get the set of four from Amazon for $16.99.
4. A Kochblume spill stopper you can put on top of your pot and then can walk away knowing that the water won't overflow onto the stove whenever it *finally* decides to boil.
5. A wooden egg holder because even the inside of your refrigerator deserves to look good — plus as an added bonus, you'll know exactly how many eggs you have left, so you won't get all excited to make cookies, only to realize the carton is empty. Isn't that just one of the worst discoveries, ever?
6. A wine decanter to make that cheap bottle you bought seem not as cheap by aerating it to make the flavor even stronger.
7. An Always pan designed to replace eight pieces of cookware, and look good while doing it. This means you can have a decluttered cabinet and yet still make all the different kinds of food you want.
8. A flower trivet mat meant to protect your tabletop from hot dishes while also acting as super cute wall decor when you're not using them.
9. A salt and pepper marble wood tray you'll happily display on your table because salt and pepper have never looked this chic (or been so easy to add to a dish).
Not only do you get the mango wood tray and the two marble bowls, but you also get one brass spoon. The set should be hand-washed and not put in the microwave.
BTW — Home x Be is a small woman-owned business featuring hand selected and curated furniture and home decor!

10. Swedish dish cloths that absorb up to 15 times their own weight, so you can use them to clean your whole kitchen in one swoop and then throw them in the dishwasher when you're done.
11. A soy sauce cruet you'll be ~soy~ glad you have on hand when you order your favorite dumplings, and they forget to add the soy sauce...again.
12. A cute little pie bird that will do wonders for you when you make a pie. Yep, that's right, this little thing makes sure the crust cooks evenly, stops the pie from boiling over and making a mess in your oven, *and* distributes the moisture so you don't get a soggy bottom. Mary Berry would be so proud!
13. A tortilla warmer sleeve with a different fabric on the outside and the inside to add some fun to Taco Tuesday *and* keep all your tortillas at the perfect temp so you don't have to keep getting up to reheat them. Because I can't be the only one that finds that super annoying...
Promising review: "Exactly as pictured! The pattern is super cute, and the design is practical. It's not super thermal, but it keeps the tortillas warm long enough. :)" —Violi
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $14.
14. A colander designed so that it will expand and fit perfectly into your sink so you can easily strain and wash your food without awkwardly trying to balance it all in your sink.
15. A super sleek knife block set filled with 13 different knives and shears so you'll have the right knife right next to you when you cook dinner and don't have to spend an any extra time cutting veggies because the one knife you own is five years past its prime.

Get it from Wayfair for $56.25 (available in five colors).
23. Color-coded cutting boards with symbols on each one so that you don't accidentally cut your veggies on the same board as your meat. 😬
24. Some simple yet sleek spice and pantry labels you can put on glass jars to completely streamline your kitchen without fear that you'll accidentally grab chili powder instead of cinnamon when you're baking.
BTW — Real And Vibrant is a small woman-owned business.

She's been selling them on Etsy since 2020. This bundle has labels for both spices and pantry items — you can see what is included in each set in the description for the item. And if there are labels not included that you're interested in you can always custom order the spices or pantry labels you need.
Promising review: "These labels are beyond my expectation! I'm totally in love with the way they look. My pantry looks so organized and modern. I’m in love and will definitely purchase from this shop again!!" —Sandra Yzaguirre
Get the set from Real + Vibrant on Etsy for $30.06+ (available in 20-, 40-, or 80-packs for both spice and pantry sets, plus in four sizes for spices, and three sizes for pantry).
25. A cold brew tea bottle that has a built-in filter so you can make tea and store it in your fridge to be ready for your next ~tea time~.
26. A utensil set designed with a silicone head and wood base for a sleek yet useful design so you can replace the mismatched set you've been using for a few too many years now.
27. A four-slice retro toaster made with extra wide slots big enough to hold even the thickest of bagels because what's the point of eating a bagel if it's not toasted?
Promising review: "Is it possible... a toaster can be... this sexy? Yes. Absolutely yes. This sexy toaster fit right in my farmhouse-style kitchen with it's cool mint green color and retro vibes. Pros: Four slots and they are the wide and long type meaning those fancier breads fit without squishing the sides of your slice. It has a bagel setting, as well as a nifty reheat button so your toast doesn't get burnt or overly crispy if you aren't hovering over it and miss it pop up and have to retoast it. It is fairly easy to clean, just dump the tray, so no worries about crumbs or bits of bread burning in the bottom and ruining the perfect taste of your slice. The knobs have a neat texture and are adjustable so you can time it just right for Pop Tarts, toast, or toasted sandwich bread. Cons: My husband is a little jealous of how much I love this toaster, and has been asking me if it is better than him. What could I say? I mean it makes TOAST, all he makes is methane gas so... Maybe consider ordering a couples therapy workbook to go with this toaster when purchasing." —Alice R.
Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in three colors).
28. A sleek silverware tray because just letting your utensils sit in a pile really shouldn't ~slide~ anymore. You're better than that.
29. A fruit slicer set that comes with a watermelon slicer and scooper, a strawberry slicer, and a peach pitter to make cutting and thus enjoying fruit a tad bit easier.
30. A genie lamp stopper that will (sadly) only grant one wish: easy and controlled pouring.
31. And an absolutely beautiful colored stemware set worth the investment because you'll love drinking wine from them for years to come.
Me to everything on this list:
