1. A set of deep set heart-shaped salad plates because sometimes the way to your heart is through a BIG OL' Caesar salad loaded with whatever flavor of crouton Trader Joe's came up with this week.

3. A "Gracula" garlic crusher, because you know what? If a 108-year-old vampire lurking moodily in the trees in the Pacific Northwest isn't going to fall in love with you and grant you immortality, one might as well make your life in the kitchen a little easier.
Promising review: "I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I’ve minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It’s a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it, but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway, so it’s not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!" —Barbie
Get it from Amazon for $17.46 (clip the 30% off coupon on the product page for this price).
4. A two-slice touch screen toaster with all the fanciness of the $350 TikTok-famous version and none of the "YIKESSSSS" of the price tag. This lets you select seven different toastiness levels for your bread, and specify if you're putting other carbs in there, like bagels, English muffins, waffles, and even gluten-free bread.
Promising review: "I love this toaster! It has all the options I need: lifter, countdown timer, visual icon of the toast colors, and all the toast varieties anyone could want, from white to grain to bagel to waffle to English muffin to gluten-free. It not only has reheat and defrost options, you can even add more toasting time, too. Truly, it has all the bells and whistles anyone could want and is easy to use." —Tanya Feddern-Bekcan

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. 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." —GWP
Get a set of six knives with covers from Amazon for $16.98.
8. A set of itty bitty rainbow coffee spoons that aren't just perfect for mixing your drinks, but also for being extra dainty and fancy when you're eating yogurt, oatmeal, or various desserts. Truly there is no better feeling than eating something with your Emotional Support Irrationally Tiny Spoon.
Promising review: "Every morning, they give me a little dopamine boost. My spoons are interesting and rainbowesque when most people just have boring silver-colored spoons. I held off on posting this review until I had a sense that the electro-coating was going to last and not be hurt in the dishwasher. They still look as good new despite many cycles through the dishwasher. My morning latte is just all that much happier now!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This waffle maker is so easy to set up, clean, and use! It took less than 10 minutes to make the batter (I followed the directions on the back of the pancake mix), grease the maker, and have the perfect dinosaur waffles! My 2-year-old loves it so much that he could identify all of the dinosaurs after they were made. I waited until Prime Day to splurge on getting it, but knowing what I know now, I wish I would’ve gotten it sooner!" —Jennifer
Get it from Amazon for $37.99.
11. A set of handcrafted cartoon cat appetizer plates so precious that you'll be sending out invites to all your friends to come over with cheese and crackers to enjoy them RIGHT MEOW.

12. A Yonanas fruit soft serve maker that magics any frozen fruit into an ice cream or sorbet texture so you can have a yummy frozen treat made to your *precise* favorite fruit combos, no measuring or brain power required. A lot of folks with dietary restrictions swear by this to get their ice cream kicks!
Promising review: "I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best-tasting fruit ice cream ever. It’s easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." —DMCKAY
Get it from Amazon for $31.69 (available in six colors).
13. And an at-home slushy-making cup so easy to use that you're going to spend the entire summer in Slushie Town, Population: You.

Check out a TikTok of the Slushy Maker Cup in action — it even comes with a spill-proof lid so it won't leak while you're crushing the cup!
Promising review: "I’m an absolute sucker for slushies. Why? Heck if I know. I saw this cup on TikTok, and bought it though I was very skeptical. However, it works!! I’ve made at least a dozen already, if not more." —C. Warrick
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
14. A set of "double dipper" snack serving bowls for the ultimate "life is a charcuterie board, and we're just living in it" vibe. Adults love this for dipping sauces, and parents love it for serving mess-free snacks. (Particularly for picky eaters who don't want their food to touch!)
These are also dishwasher- and microwave-safe!
Jarratt Industries is an Arkansas-based small business established in 2008 that specializes in unique home, kitchen, and outdoor products.
Promising review: "Bought these bowls for our RV, but loved them so much we have some for our house, too. Great for dipping. We love chicken wings; we'll put ranch in one side and buffalo in the other. Seafood, tarter in one side, cocktail in the other. Ketchup and mustard for corn dogs. The list goes on and on!" —Keith Earl
Get a set of four from Amazon for $15.50 (also available in a set of six).
15. A pair of glowing lightsaber chopsticks to bring balance to The Force *and* to your sushi.
As you can see from the above GIF, I bought these for myself, and I love them to pieces. TBH, I use them as decor every bit as much as I use them to eat. Sometimes I just keep them in my work area to light them up during the day to feel fancy. They toggle back and forth between a bunch of different colors, like red, blue, yellow, purple, and multicolor, so you can either make them match *or* have a red and blue one together and bring ~balance~ to the Force.
Get it from Amazon for $10.97+ (available in various styles and packs).
16. A teensy candy vending machine for your desk to make the endless grind of capitalism a little sweeter (and to establish yourself as the Coolest Employee In The Office).

18. A delightful fluffy omelette maker that not only takes all the guesswork out of getting the perfect texture every time, but also can make pizza pockets, turnovers, and stuffed pancakes??? Like, OKAY, overachiever ✨.
Promising review: "As someone who has always struggled to cook the perfect omelet, I love this machine! It's so easy to use, and I don't have to stand over the stove constantly, it's especially good for busy mornings — you can just let it cook, and it comes out perfect each time!!" —Alana
Get it from Amazon for $23.91 (available in eight colors and two sizes).
19. A tabletop s'mores fire pit because you never know when your S'mores Whimsy (TM) will strike, and it's important to have the equipment on hand to fulfill it immediately. This works easily with ethyl alcohol, which you can pick up at the drugstore, and burns for up to an hour to get you some roasty, toasty mallows.
Houswise is a small business that specializes in tabletop firepits.
Promising review: "We did our first indoor s'mores and movie on a cold Saturday night, and it was a hit with the kids and friends. It lit for an hour when filled to the max with ethanol. Easy to use, odorless, and just looks amazing!" —MD Boy
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in four styles and three shapes).
20. A bag of freeze-dried Sour Skittles for anyone who wants to embark on their newest candy obsession — these "cosmic crunchies" are unlike any other earthly candy you've tried before, giving a lighter, crunchier texture to Skittles without compromising on their delectable sour taste.
Space Age Snacks is a small business that specializes in small batch freeze-dried candy.
Promising review: "Honestly, I didn't know what to expect going in, but I was pleasantly surprised. Skittles normally taste alright, but having them freeze dried really made the flavors POP, and genuinely I feel like they had more flavor than normal Skittles. (Then again, that might just be my head playing it up knowing it's a first, who knows, who cares.) Very delicious." —John Blake
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes; check out the rest of their freeze-dried candy for more options).
21. A shaker of edible cocktail glitter, because why go through life without taking advantage of every opportunity to make it sparkle??✨ Reviewers add a touch of it to glam up their Prosecco or jazz up colorful themed cocktails, and even use to top baked goods and frosting for extra pizzazz.
Bakel is a small business established in 2016 that specializes in edible glitters for food and drink.
Promising review: "Don’t think any further and just buy it. This was so cool, and everyone loved it! I got the clear one because it will go with any drink. I will be the one to put this in all my friends' drinks. Also, it had no taste, so it was just the look. Sooooooo cool!" —gigi
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in 17 colors).
22. A set of standing "human shape" utensils so it'll feel like you have a huge cheering squad while you're cooking, even on days when the only thing on the menu is "reheat these questionable leftovers."
Each set includes a potato masher, whisk, spaghetti server, spatula, pastry brush, and an ice cream scoop.
Promising review: "Life is too short to have boring kitchen utensils. These little guys are so absolutely adorable, and super useful! The tools are all relatively small, so they’re great for baking, and they aren’t too bulky." —Tabs W.
Get a set of six from Amazon for $28.90.
23. A pancake batter dispenser complete with side measurements so you can mix your ingredients right into it without dirtying up an extra bowl and ladle. Reviewers swear by this to get mess-free, perfectly round, and portioned pancakes!
Check out a TikTok of the pancake batter dispenser in action.
Promising review: "I got this yesterday, and my son asked me this morning if I would make him pancakes! I was happy to oblige, so I could try my new kitchen gadget, and it did not disappoint! I LOVE it! I made the batter right in the container, and it has measurements on it, so I didn't even have to get out my measuring cups. The batter came out perfectly and easily, and when I stopped the flow, it immediately stopped! There was not one dribble of batter anywhere, and the pancakes turned out perfectly!" —Nikki
Get it from Amazon for $20.08.
24. A shaker of Thin Mint seasoning you need to buy as a favor to all your taste buds immediately. Allow me to paint a picture for you: Thin Mint coffee, Thin Mint pudding, Thin Mint popcorn, Thin Mint anything your dessert gremlin heart desires.
I stared at this for months online before caving and buying it, and when I tell you!! It jazzes up my morning coffee in a way that makes my little '90s baby heart sing. I've also loved it on Greek yogurt, oatmeal, and mug cakes. Plus, when I am feeling lonely for a real Thin Mint, and we're not in Girl Scout cookie season, I'll shake this on an Oreo Thin to stave off the despair.
Get it from Amazon for $4.98 (and try their s'mores seasoning blend, too!).
25. A set of ceramic cut-out soy sauce bowls that reveal little figures when you finish soaking up the soy sauce in them, like they're cheering you on for your delicious choices.
Promising review: "I saw similar bowls over a year ago, but they were closer to $40 from a specialty online retailer. So excited to see them pop up on Amazon for an affordable price. They work exactly as stated (super cute with soy sauce in them) and are very durable." —Brittany Sharpe
Get a set of four from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in a cat, panda, or nature set).
26. A "Barry the Bear" kitchen grater for all your cheese, veggie, and miscellaneous grating needs. No shade against Winnie the Pooh, but it's about time a bear makes themselves useful in the kitchen instead of just gobbling up all the honey and calling it a day!!
Promising review: "Perfect size for smaller gratings. Can sit upright on the counter as a cute decoration until you need it — no need to cram it into the grater/juicer/potato masher drawer. Easy to wash and the perfect size to hold the grater bear bowl in one hand while grating the parmesan cheese (or whatever) with the other hand." —visionsmyth
Get it from Amazon for $12.95.
27. A "caterpeeler" that makes quick work of peeling veggies and fruit so you don't become the sequel to The Very Hungry Caterpillar that nobody in your home asked for.
Promising review: "Good tool. Looks cute. I didn’t think it would be very functional as a peeler but it definitely is! The handle is comfortable to hold and the blade is sharp." —Julia Leitko
Get it from Amazon for $10.
28. A shaker of salt and vinegar seasoning so you can get all that puckery salty goodness *without* sacrificing crunch. Reviewers love using this for everything from chips to baked potatoes to fried chicken to veggies, and mention that since it packs a punch, it lasts a while, and is def worth the investment.
Promising review: "Always loved salt and vinegar and this is a great way I can satisfy a craving without necessarily having to buy a pricey bag of chips. The consistency is almost like powdered sugar, which is great because it sticks to almost anything. The flavor reminds me almost exactly of Lay’s S&V chips — it’s more of a white vinegar than a malt vinegar (more like Kettle brand or British S&V chips). Def will buy this again." —WJ
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (and check out some other fun seasonings like sour cream and onion and wild buffalo for more options!).
29. A "ketchup spill"-shaped spoon rest that might be, uh, reminiscent of some other bright red spills, and perfect for anyone whose kitchen theme is, "Are you sure you want to mess with me and/or anyone I love, pal?" 👀
Promising review: "I love it a lot!! It matches my red bagel guillotine and the spooky-ish theme of most of my apartment decor. I think this is supposed to be ketchup, but I bought it for other reasons. Functionally, it's large and easy to clean, though it doesn't lay perfectly flat, and has a plastic-y shine to it, but otherwise it's great." —Stef
Get it from Amazon for $9.88.
30. An unofficial Disney Parks cookbook so you live your best Mickey Pretzel life without it costing an arm and a mouse ear to book plane flights and park tickets.
Promising review: "Beautiful hardcover cookbook with so many yummy Disney recipes from the parks! There is lots of Disney foodie history in it, plus recipes that look easy to follow with high quality ingredients. There are fun maps of each of the parks inside where the food is located from, which makes it fun. As an avid Disney fan I have never seen a cookbook like this." —Nicole
Get it from Amazon for $13.57.
31. A unicorn pancake mold because ingesting breakfast that ISN'T inherently magical in every single way?? Feels a bit like a scam, if you ask me! Thankfully, you can use these pretty things on eggs, too.
32. A small duck-themed salad bowl so there's no such thing as a Sad Lunch Desk Salad ever again — now at least you have *one* coworker who will always quack you up mid-meal.
Promising review: "I love this bowl for putting snacks in. It is good in the dishwasher and holds an okay amount of stuff. I love the cute face on it." —Mana McPhee
Get it from Amazon for $22.99.

Soho Kitchen is a small NYC-based business established in 2015 that specializes in quirky pizza products.
Promising review: "Such a fun product, and definitely makes a great gift for any pizza lover as well as bike rider. It is sturdy for the most part, and I appreciate that it was very well packaged. Also, makes a great decor piece for your kitchen!" —Dalia
Get it from Amazon for $19.95.
34. A platypus jar scraping spatula so you can get every!! last!! MORSEL!!! of your peanut butters, Nutellas, and mayos, just as international super spy and legendary hero Perry the Platypus would have wanted.
Promising review: "I have had this spatula since 2022. I reach for this one consistently above all of my other spatulas, and also use this instead of a butter knife for spreading. I absolutely love this tool. I have arthritis in one hand from a surgery, and the shape of the platypus also helps with that. It cleans off very easily, and still looks brand-new." —Thomas Norton
Get it from Amazon for $16.95 (clip the $3 off coupon on the product page for this price).
35. A Cherry Chomper whose favorite hobby is gobbling up cherry and olive pits so you can eat them pit-free and live your most delicious life. Parents especially love this so kids can safely de-pit their own snacks!
Promising review: "Hands-down, one of the coolest and cutest kitchen gadgets I own. I bought this pitter because my father is a HUGE bing cherry fan. When cherry season is in, you can guarantee he'll be sitting in his recliner with a bowl full of cherries. He normally eats cherries and pits them in his mouth, but at his older age, I worried about him cracking a tooth or choking on the pit. So I bought this pitter, and it was an INSTANT hit! He loved how cute it was, and the pitter does an amazing job. Easy to use, not a ton of force needed, and then the pits are in one place and easy to throw away!" —cocade27
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
36. A ceramic whale butter dish so you can finally take one step closer to living your real dream, which is, of course, to swim in an ocean of butter.
Promising review: "Love the look and usability of the butter whale! It's a great butter holder that handles most sticks (I use a brand that comes in long sticks instead of the American short fat sticks, and it works great). Every time I go into the kitchen, I catch a glimpse of this little guy and smile every time. Easy to throw in the dishwasher for normal cleaning." —The Parrothead
Get it from Amazon for $21.30.
