2. A Le Creuset cast-iron skillet so you can create delicious foods — especially in the Southern comfort realm — from the comfort of your own kitchen. While the skillet's utility is a large part of what makes it so popular, the fact that it's colorful only adds to its cult-favorite status.

21. A NutriBullet personal blender to create delicious smoothies in less time and for less money than you'd spend at your local smoothie shop. As someone who is personally obsessed with her NutriBullet, I can attest to just how smart of a purchase this press-and-blend machine is.

The set comes with a bread knife, chef's knife, kitchen shears, paring knife, Santoku knife, honing steel, utility knife, six steak knives, and a block to store it all. And, thanks to the wood and stainless design, it will add an elevated, chef-like appearance to your countertop.
