1. A rose gold rechargeable electric lighter you can use to replace all your old gas ones. This one is not only chic as heck, but completely flameless, and made with a long stem so you can use it to light gas burners and larger candles without dealing with an open flame.
This also comes in other pretty colors, but I am especially partial to this one because I bought it for my parents (their kitchen is entirely pink and one of my favorite places on Earth), and this was SO EASY to use — not to mention super safe! I'm a big weenie about fire (LOL, self-preservation) so I've always stuck to extended-arm gas lighters, but this is much better for the environment (plus cuter), so I feel a lot better about using it. You can read my full review of the Leejie electric lighter for more deets!
Promising review: "Works like a charm. I saw this on a TikTok. Knew immediately that I needed it. I love candles and this is so much better than a match or lighter. It’s kept a charge for months. I use it several times a month." —dwhite3012
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in five colors).
2. An adorable Dash mini rice cooker so cute and handy it'll earn its spot at part of your counter's ~aesthetic~. Its two-cup capacity doesn't just make delicious small portions of rice, but also fluffy oatmeal, stew, soup, quinoa, rice, and pasta. Bonus: it has a "keep warm" function that kicks in once it's done cooking, so if you don't get to it right away you don't have to deal with cold or overcooked grub.
Promising review: "For a long time I was dragging out my big 10-quart Instapot to make rice for dinner almost every single night — well when you’re only cooking for two people, that’s a bit extreme! I found this with a quick search and figure for the price it couldn’t hurt to try! I’m SO HAPPY I bought this. It’s such a perfectly small size; it fits beautifully on my counter and makes the perfect amount of rice for my boyfriend and I to eat at dinner. No big equipment. Comes with a cute little book with recipes to try! The cilantro lime rice was a hit!" —Allie Conefrey
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in nine colors and various bundles with other Dash products).
3. A sophisticated marble-patterned dish drying mat designed to actually fit into the aesthetic of your kitchen, so you're not always tempted to hide it away (and procrastinate on dish washing as a result).
Promising review: "Matched our counters and almost blends in completely. We roll it up in the morning after all the dishes are dry. Great for smaller spaces with less counter space and protects the counter from water damage over time. Washed it in normal laundry cycle multiple times and it comes out clean as if new each time with no pilling. Spilled coffee on it on accident, sprayed flex, tossed it in the wash and it cleaned completely." —Shopmindfully
Get it from Amazon for $10.99.
4. An elegant geode paper towel holder so at least when you're cleaning up a big ole mess, one part of the process will be happening in ~style~.
Promising review: "Truly unique and beautiful paper towel holder. The color and wire bottom are a statement piece for your kitchen!! It matches my drying rack and garbage can perfectly! You can’t beat the price and quality!" —Shauna Kiersten
Get it from Amazon for $15.35 (available in three colors).
5. A set of flower trivet mats for a lil' ~pop~ of color on the counters and an easy way to prevent things from slipping and sliding — particularly hot things that you'd rather not have, say, spilled all over your unsuspecting human feet. These are heat-safe up to 446 degrees.
Promising review: "I simply love these trivets. I used them as a decoration on my kitchen wall. When needed, I just place them on the table for my hot dishes. They clean in a breeze and the color is great. The price is so reasonable that if I didn't need them, I still would have bought them. You will not be disappointed with this item." —redhead
Get a set of three from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in 12 colors).
6. A produce "home" storage container so adorable that your veggies might just throw a lil' rave in there. This one comes with a cool twist: it's designed so you can leave the veggies out of the fridge in it for up to five days, so they're at room temperate for immediate snacking whenever it strikes your fancy.
Lite N' Fresh is a small business that specializes in product storage products.
Psst — reviewers also love that it has a solar-powered, remote-controlled nightlight built in!
Promising review: "Love my veggie house! Veggies stay fresh on the counter for about four days. Generally mine is empty by then. Having prepared veggies ready to eat has changed my eating habits for the better. Besides that, it's really cute on my counter." —SueV
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
7. A truly adorable seven-piece kitchen gadget set that's not only just! a JOY!!! to behold, but will cover all those weird odds and ends you might not have in your kitchen arsenal already — each set includes a can opener, ice cream scooper, peeler, pizza cutter, garlic press, cheese grater, and a whisk.
Promising review: "I bought these because I needed a new can opener, but noticed a few things in this set I didn’t have. When I opened the pack I was so happy. They are just so pretty. I want to find a place to hang or display them because sitting in my drawer just isn’t doing them justice. I ended up getting a nice wide vase and putting everything inside, and sitting it on my countertop." —JOSEPHINA RODRIGUEZ
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in two finishes and nine colors).
8. A dainty bird-shaped lemon juicer you can use to squeeze lemons, limes, or oranges into your morning tea, salads, or hot water. Turns out the early bird gets the worm *and* the delightfully aesthetic juice.
Promising review: "This little utensil is adorable, and quite practical. When I saw it on TikTok I knew I had to have one. You simply put a slice of lemon in and pour out the juice. It looks so pretty sitting on the table and comes in very handy." —Dian Marchese
Get it from Amazon for $5.39.
9. A color-coded Cuisinart knife set so not only will you have the perfect blade for each task like a true profesh, but you'll be able to avoid cross-contamination without having to pause and wipe everything down every time you transition to a new food 🌈.
It includes a chef's knife, paring knife, bread knife, slicing knife, utility knife, and santoku knife. Psst — the knives don't come with this a holder, but you can snag an easy-to-install magnetic bar for knives on Amazon if you want to display them like this reviewer did!
Promising review: "This is my best buy of the month, and best knife buy of the year. Yeah, I've had sharper, better-quality knives in the past, but for hundreds of dollars more. For basic kitchen use, this is the set to buy. I like that they're colorful, because I've already been able to familiarize myself with which knife is which color and what I need to use them for. I haven't had to sharpen them yet and I've been using them pretty steadily for about a month. The blade cases they come with are extremely handy. I like that I don't have to use a knife block. These fit nicely in my drawer. At this price, they are worth every penny. I wouldn't have a problem spending $40–$50 for these knives." —GWP
Get a set of six knives with covers from Amazon for $19.97.
10. Or a set of truly ~dazzling~ titanium statement knives you can get in rainbow or marbled versions, depending on your kitchen's vibe. Don't you dare assume they're relying on their good looks to impress, though — reviewers say they're nice and sharp, and love all the accompanying accessories that come with them!
Each knife set includes one chef knife, one carving knife, one bread knife, one paring knife, one utility knife, plus a sharpener, kitchen sheers, a peeler, six steak knives, and a knife stand.
Promising review: "Super cute and super functional. I wanted a new knife set because I inherited all of mine from my grandpa, so they're probably older than I am. I bought these ones and they're super cute on the counter and work great. I have steak knives from my silverware set, so i didn't need those in the set but it's hard to find a set without those and it's always nice to have extras." —Lacey W
Get it from Amazon for $45.99 (available in five styles).
11. A pink heart measuring scale that truly is the epitome of the time-honored phrase "measure with your heart." Also this is just too BarbieCore to resist in the Year Of Our Barbie Shenanigans 2023.
The scale measures ounces, pounds, grams, kilograms, and milliliters, and operates with two AAA batteries, which are included.
Promising review: "Got this to do my own pickling. Easy to use, accurate, and adorable too!!! Love it so much I'm buying another one for myself, and as a gift." —Summer K
Get it from Amazon for $18.96 (available in two other styles).
12. A set of three classic KitchenAid mixing bowls in a timeless pistachio color that come in sizes to suit all your baking and mixing needs. And yes, while it's important that these are sturdy and have gripping rubber bottoms and will last a long time, it's also important that these will also fit in with your "I'm the main character baking on a Sunday" aesthetic, which, of course, they do with ease.
13. A sleek glass top Keurig pod organizer to fit discreetly under your coffee machine and give you easy access to pods full of those smushed up beans you love to guzzle so much.
Nifty Solutions is a small business specializing in kitchen storage and baking products.
Promising review: "I used to have the K-Cup tower. I was tired of the counter space it was taking up. I ordered this and it works great!! The coffee maker fits on top perfectly. I love how you can hold down the lever and slide the whole thing. The K-Cup drawer slides in and out easily, no issues. My daughter saw mine when she visited and ordered one for herself too!" —Emily
Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (available in five other colors and seven other styles).
14. A set of mushroom refrigerator magnets for some whimsical fairy cottage vibes — this is 100% how true hobbits hang their invitations to Bilbo's 111st birthday party on their fridge.
Promising review: "This is my second set of these that I purchased. I absolutely love the design, they’re heavy and well-made. Great attention to detail, painting is perfect, no weird chips/flawed paint. The magnets are really strong, as they have to be to hold the pieces up. Absolutely love these, they’re a cute statement piece. Would make a wonderful gift for any garden or fellow mushroom lover. Very affordable price point. Extremely pleased with my purchase and highly recommend." —Vanessa C.
Get a set of three from Amazon for $13.99 (available in six colors).
15. An oh-so-sweet reusable bowl cover to inspire you to make all your coziest meals so you can stash the leftovers as aesthetically as possible. These environmentally-friendly covers are machine washable and also super handy for bread proofing!
Stacy Kitchen Decor is a California-based, woman-owned Etsy shop established in 2020 that specializes in handmade reusable kitchen towels, aprons and bags.
Promising review: "Love this bowl cover! It fits perfectly and looks so beautiful. It’s also sturdy, as I’ve washed it by hand and all the daisies are intact. I also appreciate the sellers prompt communication." —Nicoco
Get it from Stacy Kitchen Decor on Etsy for $11.98+ (originally $17.12+; available in seven sizes and custom sizes, plus five patterns).
16. A handy, aesthetically-pleasing kitchen measurement conversion magnet for the avid baker who is like, "Avoiding math, but make it fashion." This pretty little magnet will make sure your pretty little head doesn't have to break itself with equations the next time you bake.
Levain & Co is a small business that specializes in kitchen conversion charts and kitchen tools.
Promising review: "I bake often (following recipes on the internet) and usually have to convert some of the ingredient amounts. I’m glad I got this — super helpful, especially because it has the conversions for different ingredients. It’s also very cute! It’s not too big either which is a plus." —Jasmine
Get it from Amazon for $11.95.
17. A daisy-shaped dish brush with a lil' vase holder so cute that, fair warning, you can't use it without accidentally bursting into an iconic Disney princess song. (Dibs on "When Will My Life Begin?" just saying!!)
Check out a TikTok of the flower scrubber in action.
Promising review: "Love having this on my kitchen sink. It’s happy and cute and makes me happy. One leaf did twist off after a few weeks of use but it’s still cute and I could’ve been more careful holding it. Not a super stiff brush but works well for most hand washing and quick rinses. Brush rinses well and food doesn’t get caught in it. I was happy to find it has a hidden scraper edge on top of the brush. Will def buy again when this one gets gross since it brings so much tiny joy into my kitchen." —Hannah Jo Wilson
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in two colors).
18. A tiny milk frother that makes rich, creamy froths in seconds, because why stop at regular tea and coffee when you can have velvety-soft milk tea and lattes?
Promising review: "So I’ll admit I got this on a whim after a TikTok video, however I’m in love with this thing! It’s so much fun to use and you make your at home drinks feel so much more special. It’s easy to use and froths pretty quickly if you’re on the fence I’d say what are you waiting for buy it already!" —Denise
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 38 styles).
19. A glass milk carton reviewers *love* for frothing — not only is it the perfect size, but the container is shaped in a way that stops milk and cream from spilling over the sides. Because yes, there's no use crying over spilled milk, but crying over spilled FROTHED milk?? Valid.
Promising review: "I came from TikTok ... not disappointed. It is great for frothing without having splashes go everywhere." —Kyle
"I love glassware, especially borosilicate glass, because it’s delicate and yet strong, it’s thinner and lighter than most glass. This is is definitely a conversation piece, because of its small milk carton shape and it holds a significant amount of cream or milk. It’s perfect for use during brunch, and during coffee or tea dates with friends. To get it cleaned, I use warm water, dish soap, and a small foam brush, than I put it on the dish rack to air dry." —APR63
Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in six styles).
20. A rapid egg cooker that I am warning you right now is going to become your most meaningful relationship. It can make soft-, medium-, *and* hard-boiled eggs in addition to poaching, scrambling, and making omelets out of them. This gizmo is, like, a thousand potential brunches and meal preps in one.
I've owned one of these babies and have faithfully used it every week for upward of two years, and especially love it while working from home — it simplifies breakfast because I know no matter what assortment of groceries I'm working with, there are precooked eggs to add some protein to it (I like mine medium-boiled 🍳). If my dinner is boring or seems like it needs a little extra "oomph" to it, I'll throw in an egg from this too. Some reviews note that the alarm on it is a little loud, but the new models have significantly decreased the volume and sing a little song instead!
Promising review: "I saw someone on TikTok with this and gasped! Ordered it right away. I had no idea these things existed. Super easy and convenient and the hard-boiled eggs came out perfectly. I’m testing a batch now without punching a hole in the eggs to see how they come out. Because why not make an easy process even easier?!?! LOL." —Gina
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in eight colors).
21. An absurdly adorable Porter Seal-Tight glass container reviewers are obsessed with because they put other containers to *shame* with how leakproof they are, not to mention just the right size for reheatable lunches, unlike bulky alternatives.
The jars are also microwave- and dishwasher-safe.
Here's what BuzzFeed contributor Rachel Dunkel says about these: "Before working from home became the norm, I would use these handy jars to bring my lunch almost every day. They're perfect for things like fruit, salad, or something saucy — stuff you really don't want to get squished *and* want to ensure doesn't leak into your bag. *But* I have found that I use them just as much at home full-time! They are of course great for leftovers, but also for prepped ingredients for the week. Shedded cheese, prepped chicken, and chopped veggies usually live in these, ready to be utilized for a quick lunch or snack. They clean *super* well — I even have the cream color and it recovered from storing beets! 10/10 from me."
Get them from Amazon for $25+ each (available in two sizes and five colors).
22. A chic minimalist fruit bowl/colander that lets you wash your fruit from the grocery store right in the bowl you're storing it in. Here's to an extremely adorable life hack.
Check out a TikTok of the colander in action.
Promising review: "Absolutely love this fruit bowl! The bottom comes off for drainage and it’s super easy to clean. It looks great on the counter and fits a decent amount of fruit! Great find and I would recommend this product!" —Faith Reviews
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors).
23. A set of waterproof plastic bag holders for a chic, clever way to store grocery bags, a step up from your usual strategy of "shove a bunch of these under the sink and hope for the best."
Promising review: "These are really cute and they can hold a ton of plastic bags! I had an entire cabinet where we would throw bags every time we came home from shopping. I stuffed all of those bags into these and now I have a free cabinet to use! I love these little things!" —Maquillaje by Mollie
Get a set of two from Amazon for $15.99.
24. A set of reusable silicone Stasher bags you can get in a ton of bright, fun colors and different sizes to help significantly cut down on your plastic use, saving both your money *and* the environment. Plus, these work in more than just the fridge — they're freezer- and microwave-safe, too.
Promising review: "I have been using these for about two years and let me tell you, they look like the day I bought them! I was using them for school lunches, but now with the stay-at-home orders, I’ve begun making batches of rice and pasta and freezing those with these bags. They work great and heat up in the microwave beautifully. No damage to the bags at all! I actually ordered some more just to have plenty on hand since I’m using more of them now than in the past. I have tried other brands of reusable storage bags that got pitted and messed up in the microwave. These may cost a little more, but they are almost indestructible and last a long long time! Did I mention you can throw them in dishwasher? Just open the bag and fit it onto the upper-rack spikes and they wash up great. I just shake them out and let them air dry. I’m not using plastic bags anymore! Thanks for the great product." —John S.
Get it from Amazon for $9.21+ (available in four sizes and eight colors).
25. A rustic wooden egg tray to soften the edges of your kitchen with some good old-fashioned egg nostalgia. This is an excellent storage solution for countertop *or* fridge eggs, with some reviewers using it to distinguish pre-cooked hard-boiled eggs from their regular ones!
Gui's Chicken Coop is a small business specializing in egg storage products.
Promising review: "I love how this looks. We have chickens and were looking for awhile for a nice place to store the eggs. This is perfect! Getting compliments already." —ita cohen
Get it from Amazon for $17.47+ (available in 12-egg or 18-egg storage).
26. A delightfully practical Stojo collapsible travel cup (with a straw!) you can use to drink coffee or water on the go — reviewers love that it collapses to a teensy, easy-to-store size, and that you can easily reheat it in the microwave, unlike other travel mugs.
Check out a TikTok of the Stojo collapsible cup in action.
Stojo is a small business that specializes in dishwasher-, microwave-safe storage and travel products with the goal of eliminating single-use plastics.
Promising review: "I take my lunch to work and during mid day I like to use the Keurig to brew a cup of coffee. The 12-ounce Stojo cup I purchased is very practical. It is thick and durable. The plastic collar enables you to hold the cup without squeezing it or burning your hands on the hot walls of the cup. It seals well so you don't have to worry about leaking your drink on your shirt. It even has some reasonable thermal properties. There is enough volume in the cup to allow for the 12-ounce brew plus ample creamer. It's not a stainless vacuum cup, but it does hold its temperature better than your typical gas station or coffee shop cup. Plus you have the advantage of being able to reheat your drink in the microwave which you can't do with a stainless cup. Washes easily too. If you want a 12-ounce cup that keeps your drink hot or cold for a long time, this isn't the cup for you. But if you need something practical that will keep your coffee warm for 30–45 minutes, can be reheated in a microwave, and collapses to the dimensions of a tall hockey puck, this is a good purchase. You'll have it for years." —ViciousCycle
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in six sizes and 24 colors).
27. A set of golden stainless steel chip clips because you know what? Even your half-eaten bags of Doritos and half-abandoned salad bags deserve to sit pretty. Equal opportunity chic-ness for all.
28. A sleek Beast Blender + Hydration System that's truly out here doing the most — not only can it blend smoothies and shakes, but you can use it to infuse water and blend dips and soups. It's also designed with vibration reduction to keep the noise down, *plus* you can pop off the top as a to-go cup, making your morning smoothie experience seamless as heck.
Here's what BuzzFeeder Brittany Ross has to say about this gizmo: "I got this blender over the summer, and wow, as someone who had firmly decided I was an "I don't need a blender" person, I quickly changed my mind after the first use. For starters, it's not as large as those super industrial-strength blenders, and it's so aesthetically pleasing that I have it out on my counter at all times. Plus, it couldn't be easier to use — just fill the bowl with your ingredients, pulse, and in a matter of ~moments~ you'll have a perfectly uniform blend of whatever you're trying to blitz. I first tried it out on a smoothie made with frozen bananas and peaches (see it in action on TikTok here!), and it pulverized the icy fruit like a champ. Best of all? It's a total breeze to clean, which, if I'm being honest, was probably the biggest factor in my having waited so long to add a blender to my kitchen arsenal. I can't recommend it enough, 15/10, no notes.
Get it from Amazon for $195 (available in three colors).
29. A mushroom toothpick dispenser to make you the indisputable Most Adorable Baker In The World when you pull out a toothpick from this lil' gizmo to test whether or not your cupcakes are ready to pull out of the oven.
30. A set of vintage-inspired glass mugs reviewers love to use for everything from coffee to yogurt parfaits to oatmeal to add a subtle little Great Gatsby-esque touch to their morning routines.
Promising review: "Came straight to Amazon when I saw these beautiful mugs on TikTok. I just had to have them! I’m very picky with mugs, these are perfect for me. Stunning to look at and a pleasure to drink out of. Highly recommend!" —Margarita Harutoonian
Get a set of two from Amazon for $27.99 (available in eight styles).
31. A pretty pastel mug warmer to keep your tea and coffee warm on days when you're burrowed so far under your blankets that it feels like a law against nature to make a trip to the microwave.
Promising review: "I researched so many coffee warmers and am so glad I decided on this one. It definitely keeps my coffee hot, no matter how long it takes me to drink it. I also like that it has three settings. As you drink down your coffee, you can lower the heat because it keeps the coffee very hot. I like it so much I ordered a second one for another part of the house." —hottytoddy
Get it from Amazon for $23.79 (clip the $3 off coupon on the product page; available in eight colors).
32. A quick-heating Fellow electric kettle so chic that the minimalist in you will *sing* when you see it perched on your counters. It's as handy as it is beautiful, too — its chic gooseneck is designed for an optimum flow rate for pourovers, its temperature settings will let you get *highly* specific about how warm you want the water too be, and you can toggle the base to keep the water at the precise temp you want for up to an hour.
Promising review: "We waffled about getting this kettle. Surely the cheapie electric one we had would do the trick for amateur pour-over enthusiasts? No. Wrong. This is superior in every aspect. The temperature holding feature is amazing — no more heating up the water, forgetting you started, and having to heat it up again. Definitely more consistent in temperature, creating more consistent cups of coffee." —Emily A.
Get it from Fellow for $195 (available in 10 colors and styles) or from Amazon for $165+ (available in seven styles).
33. An exceedingly beautiful crystal wine decanter to help aerate your wine and bring out the flavors and aromas (but also to just be like, "Hey, look at me, a person who has enough of their life together to own a decanter this pretty").
Promising review: "Beautiful decanter. Arrived quickly, was well packaged and arrived in perfect condition. It’s sturdy but not heavy or clunky — making it easier to pour from consider the size and shape. With careful pour there are no drips. This decanter will get lots of use over the upcoming holidays, so if I have more observations will update this review. Exactly what I was looking for, we are satisfied customers." —MBrew
Get it from Amazon for $59.99.
34. A salt and pepper marble bowl and wood tray set as a lovely statement piece to tie your kitchen table together and impress guests. (While also making sure you never have to endure a "blah" salad at dinner again — SALT AND SPICE THEM, MY FRIENDS!!)
Promising review: "I love this little salt and pepper server. The quality is sturdy and beautiful and for the price, it is a beautiful statement as a gift or for your home. The price point is perfect and makes it truly a wonderful housewarming or host/hostess gift. I am very picky about quality and this product I give 5 stars. Will be buying many more." —Sancha88
Get it from Amazon for $36.
35. A vintage-inspired floral oven mitt set, because if there is one thing kitchen safety needs an extra dose of these days, it's *whimsy*. (This rule applies to all kitchen products, to be clear!!)
Promising review: "There are so pretty. They are as thick as they should be to protect your hand. And they look so colorful and happy." —Bonnie Bon
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in dozens of styles and five different sets).
36. A self-draining whimsical soap dish for a fairy tale aesthetic *and* modern convenience. This design keeps your soap from getting all scummy and wasted the way it does when there's water lurking around in the dish with it (and is also a low key "look how adorable my kitchen is" flex).
