We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A festive berry wreath to let everyone know you're in full-on holiday mode, and that your house is the place to BE.
2. A felt letterboard so you can share customized messages with friends and loved ones upon their arrival.
3. A sweet little welcome mat that's sure to elicit a smile from anyone who walks up to your door. They'll have no idea you're inside frantically doing some last minute cleaning!
4. And to help with that panic-mode cleaning, some Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day multi-surface cleaning spray, which is even safe to use on hardwood floors.
5. Magic Erasers that'll get rid of all of those mysterious wall smudges, door marks, and light switch prints. Just wet 'em, squeeze 'em, and go to town!
6. An otherworldly room spray to spritz in every corner of your home to detract from the fact that the quick once-over you just gave it was the first cleaning it's had in...a bit. And yes, you have our permission to tell your guests your place "always smells like this."
7. A freestanding coat rack, because those hooks in your hallway have probably surpassed their intended weight capacity by now, thanks to your endless collection of jackets, hats, and scarves.
8. A set of "Be Our Guest" hand towels that'll make everyone feel at home, even in the bathroom. Just remind them that the West Wing is forbidden.
9. A cocktail shaker set so you can mix up some holiday drinks to serve as guests arrive (careful, they'll never want to leave!).
10. And a mini bar cart in case anyone wants to help themselves to different libations throughout the evening.
11. A set of modern coasters that serve double duty as condensation collectors for your guests' drinks and chic table decor.
12. A sleek wine-chilling bucket for keeping bottles cold for up to two hours!
13. Some stemless wineglasses to give your guests a little more stability when they start making their way over to your new white couch with their drinks.
14. And, a red wine stain remover that'll ease any apprehensions you might have about hosting people at your place once you see how miraculous it is. Now if only they made one for teeth...
15. A charcuterie board set to keep everyone preoccupied with snacks while you rush to finish dinner, which, according to the recipe, was supposed to be done an hour ago.
16. A portable Bluetooth speaker that'll fill the room with pro-sounding music to help set the evening's tone (and drown out the sound of your relatives arguing).
17. A ceramic oil diffuser, which will make your home smell so good, everyone might just need a moment to stop what they're doing and inhale. Plus, it'll make you look like a *real* adult who...actually cares about how their home smells.
18. A pair of extra-long oven mitts, because as someone who used to bake for a living, take it from me: Your wrists and forearms are the most vulnerable when it comes to oven burns, so it's wise to keep that area as covered-up as possible! Plus, a little extra protection will boost your confidence when it comes to taking piping hot cooking vessels in and out of the oven.
19. A fume-free oven cleaner so you won't have to worry about all those caked-on bits setting off the smoke detector while dinner is cooking.
20. A linen tablecloth that looks way more expensive than it is, so you won't be too brokenhearted when a guest inevitably spills cranberry sauce on it.
21. A set of *actual* cloth napkins, because your guests deserve better than a sheet of Brawny next to their plates. You'll also feel so organized having them on hand. 👏
22. Some easy-to-wash round placemats to bring some cohesion to the dinner table.
23. A set of marble salt and pepper bowls for the table so your guests can season their food to their preferences (we're not undermining your cooking skills, but people can be particular!). Plus, it just looks pretty. 😍
24. A classic wooden salad bowl that everyone should probably have in their house *just in case* — it's also great for chips and popcorn!
25. And, a lovely pair of salad servers to go with, because it's time you finally stopped using metal tongs for everything.
26. Classic white dinner plates, so you'll never have to try matching any other tableware to them. Plus, white is the best canvas for your delicious food!
27. A complete flatware set to ensure you're not short a fork when your cousin shows up with their new "friend," aka someone they met on the way to your place.
28. A gorgeous star-shaped succulent planter for a uniquely festive centerpiece that'll make your guests say, "I want one!"
29. An adorable set of reindeer tealight holders so that no corner of your home is without a little holly jolly energy.
30. A gorgeous ceramic platter to serve anything from canapés to cookies on. It also comes with a little ramekin for dipping, and is dishwasher-, oven-, and microwave-safe!
31. A large glass pitcher for pouring water, or even hot beverages. It comes with a lid strainer, so any ice or flavorings will stay put.
32. A chic crossback apron (with pockets!) to protect your clothing from the inevitable flour clouds and sauce splatters you'll encounter while preparing the meal. It's so cute that you'll *almost* want to wear another apron over this one, but you can just toss it into the washing machine when it's time to clean.
33. A stainless-steel roasting pan you'll want to have if you're serving turkey or any large-format meat this year (or if you just like roasting things in general). It comes with a rack for even air circulation and a lid to seal in those savory juices.
34. A Hamilton Beach stand mixer to take all the work out of making dessert — and you'll be able to impress everyone with homemade (or, stand mixer-made) whipped cream!
35. Or, a cordless KitchenAid electric hand mixer that reeeally comes in handy when all of your outlets are being occupied by other cooking appliances. It has seven speeds for everything from easy stirring to intense whipping, and can mix dough for dozens of cookies on a single charge.
36. A seriously genius Wilton three-tiered collapsible cooling rack, which can cool up to three dozen cookies at a time without taking up a ton of counter space. You can also use it for cakes, pies, or anything else that would benefit from air circulation while cooling down.
37. A pie/cake server with cleverly designed serrated sides to ensure your guests get perfectly clean slices. ✨🍰
38. A cute little Cuisinart coffee maker so you can brew up a fresh pot to serve with dessert (you have our permission to discreetly serve decaf in hopes that no one gets an extra jolt of energy and declares, "The night is young!")
39. And, an inexpensive (but matching!) set of mugs to put out when it's time for coffee/tea/hot chocolate.
40. A cute set of ceramic bowls, because ice cream is non-negotiable once dessert time strikes. You'll also likely find yourself snacking out of them even when you're not hosting.
41. Dye- and chlorine-free dishwasher detergent pods so you can tackle that mountain of dirty dishes at the end of the night all at once. They're made with mineral-based ingredients, are cruelty-free, and come in compostable packaging!
42. And last but certainly not least, a cushy kitchen mat your legs will thank you for during your epic meal prep marathon. Now, time to prop your feet up and feast with the rest of 'em!
