1. An air fryer that will knock out all the side dishes you don't feel like working too hard on. You'll be ready to take on the upcoming holiday season and the many game days that are still to come.
2. A monogrammed charcuterie board with a magnetic utensil holder to act as your hors d'oeuvre serving platter or butter board as they continue to be a social media fad. This one is highly rated, customizable, and comes with four cheese-serving tools!
3. A simple serving platter that will spruce up the dinner table. This hosting essential comes in an array of colors that will match any occasion or decorating style. It is also dishwasher-friendly, which will ease up the post-meal cleanup.
4. An elevated dish rack so you can finally access all of your counter space while you prep away. Dishes can dry right over the sink so you no longer have to mix your cooking and cleaning spaces.
5. An ice cream maker so you can be that house all the kids are trying to visit. Get creative with the family (or even just yourself) as you experiment with new flavors for a fun Friday activity or when you simply need a midweek pick-me-up.
6. A beverage dispenser that can handle all the punch, infused water, and sangria recipes you've stockpiled for holiday entertaining. With a clean look and 3.5-gallon capacity, it takes the headache out of checking the refill status of every guest, crossing off at least one worry for whatever occasion you're hosting this season.
7. A nonstick ceramic pan that you probably need but haven't pulled the trigger on yet. Trust in the nearly 200 5-star reviews that say this is the one to break the tradition of buying a new nonstick pan every year.
8. A 14-piece knife set by Martha Stewart that adds a little oomph to your kitchen space with its pastel color. It's an inexpensive option to have real chef-quality knives in your cooking space, ensuring you won't have to worry about any dullness in cut *or* style.
9. A slide-out spice rack that efficiently organizes everything *and* makes it easily accessible so you don't have to keep wondering where your cumin is (why is it always the cumin?).
10. An eight-person dinnerware set that will make your dining room look like a chic new restaurant just by setting the table. The sleek neutral colorways will make every meal worthy of an Instagram photo, even if it's just boxed mac 'n' cheese (a culinary masterpiece in my eyes).
11. A set of eclectic dinner bowls (if neutrals aren't your thing) that each have a different, vibrant pattern and can be used for serving the best you have to offer this soup and stew season. The character of these bowls add charm to any dish, creating a feeling of hominess and comfort.
12. A food scale to follow all your famous holiday cookie recipes with precision and care. This particular one has so many incredible reviews that you can rest assured it's a worthwhile purchase.
13. A dishwasher-safe bakeware set that will make hosting Thanksgiving easier than ever. You know you need a refresher on your casserole equipment, and this 10-piece set will surely get you ready for the holiday season. Complete with lids, cleanup is merely a quick slide into the fridge.
14. A rice cooker that has nearly 400 5-star reviews, which I'd say is an extremely safe bet. AND, not only can it cook all your favorite rice, quinoa, and grains, but t can also be used to steam meats, seafood, and vegetables! Because of its removable basket divider, you can prepare an entire meal by steaming two different foods at once. 🤯
15. An electric spiralizer if you always want to cook more zucchini noodles but want it to be less of an arts and crafts disaster while doing it. With this bad boy, you'll get perfectly cut ~zoodles~ every single time.
16. A set of stemless wineglasses that over a thousand people have vouched for. No matter how many wineglasses you own, it never seems to be enough, and these stemless beauties add a certain je ne sais quoi to any meal or ~wine Wednesday~ with friends.
17. A set of glass coffee mugs that will never have you guessing how much coffee is really still in your mug. It adds an exciting visual element to hot cocoa and cider consumption, which will be happening soon (if it hasn't happened already).
18. An 18-piece cocktail set to impress your guests by serving all your bevies with the right proportions and in the proper glassware. No more margaritas in wineglasses (no judgment here — we've all done it)!
19. A set of salt and pepper shakers to liven up the tablescape. They come in vibrant colors that will add whimsy to any setting, and you'll never be left wondering, Where's the salt?
20. A multiuse glass server that can dole out all your holiday punches, special dip recipes, *and* even act as a cake stand. Its multifunctionality takes the limits out of what you can serve for the evening as well as saves precious cabinet space by being three dishes in one!
21. An espresso machine that makes the transition from automatic-coffee-making to barista-extraordinaire a little less daunting. If you're a beginner but need your morning wake-up-juice like you need air, this machine is calling your name.
22. Or a milk frother if you're not ready for the espresso machine purchase quite yet but want to take your morning cup of joe up a couple levels. Brew up some coffee and froth in some milk for an at-home latte? Sign us up!
23. A rolling kitchen cart to optimize your space. It's compact enough that it won't make your already-small kitchen feel more cramped, but offers much-needed storage that will make a world of difference sans renovation. It comes on wheels too, so it's easy to move around if need be!
24. A set of plate storage bins that have a convenient little window so you can actually see what's in them before pulling them all out of the garage for the upcoming holiday seasons.
25. A three-piece cereal dispenser set that will neatly house your pantry food so you're not worried about losing freshness or your favorite snacks going stale. Plus, you'll always know exactly what's inside so you won't reach for the cereal and instead get flour.
26. And a kitchen canister set that is just asking to be filled with flour, sugar, and cookies while still keeping your decor style clean and sleek.
27. A set of refrigerator organization bins that will not only make things a little more orderly but that your guests will be impressed by when they see how tidy your fridge is (and how easy it was to accomplish).
28. A chic anti-fatigue mat for when the inevitable happens — everyone has gone home, and you have no choice but to roll up your sleeves and get to scrubbing. At least your feet, knees, and back will get some support.
29. A food processor that has a pristine reputation for being the best. Pestos, salsas, dips, and sauces are no match for you — once this game changer enters your kitchen, it's game on.
30. A cutting board set that's textured and sturdy enough to handle the toughest of slicing and dicing jobs but thin enough that it won't add extra bulkiness to your dwindling cabinet space. Complete with an ~edgy~ (see what I did there?) look and texture, these take the blandness out of your standard cutting board.
