1. 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 $11.98.
2. A container of Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cinnadust so absurdly delicious that all food will just become a mere canvas for putting Cinnadust on. Reviewers use this on everything from coffee to toast to yogurt to fries to popcorn to sweet potatoes to ice cream to — you know what, I'll let you decide on your cinnajourney for yourself.
3. A set of zombie ice pop molds for some delectably undead snacking — reviewers use these for fruit, yogurt, and ice cream pops, and especially love that the "stick" is a base that you can use to stand them up like a terrifying lil' action figure.
Promising review: "My 4-year-old granddaughter loved these zombies molds. She had fun making the ice pops! She made yogurt and fruit pops, and they looked just like they are pictured." —Amazon Customer
Get a set of four from Amazon for $20.97 (available in three other styles).
4. A handy dandy condiment fork with a holder you can wrap right around a jar of olives or pickles so it'll always be at your disposal when you suddenly *need* a pickle but don't want to put your hands in the jar. This is also great for late-night snacking shenanigans, since you won't wake up half the house looking for a clean fork.
Check out a TikTok of the condiment fork in action.
Promising review: "Great kitchen item. Forks are great to get pickles out of the jar, but if you have kids/lazy people (lol) you know that dirty hands are going into that jar. 😉 This has really prevented that from happening. It comes with two different rings to fit whatever size jar, a stabber holder, and a stabbing stick." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $6.74.
5. 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.
6. A Saucemoto dip clip that lets you enjoy the sweet, delicious freedom of dipping your fries into ketchup at a red light without cosplaying as that red light when the ketchup ends up all over your lap.
Saucemoto is a small business established in 2018 that specializes in unique car accessories.
Promising review: "How did I go so long without one of these??? The Saucemoto was my first 'TikTok Made Me Buy It' purchase and I have no regrets. It clips easily to my car's vent and the sauce cups clip in easily so I can dip and drive. No more trying not to dump the sauce by accident while steering with the same hand that's holding the dip cup. It even comes with a dip cup for those places that do the pouches for their sauces rather than the cups. (I'm looking at you, Arby's.)" —Pleasure Pamela
Get set of two from Amazon for $9.99.
7. Plus a handy car steering wheel tray so you can take your lunch hour in your own ~private suite~ (read: your vehicle) and have a steady place to prop a laptop or a book if you're waiting to go in somewhere or pick someone up and need to get some work done.
Promising review: "I oftentimes like to enjoy my lunch at work in my car, I just like having my own personal space but I’m always dropping my food on the seats and floor of my car. This product is super nifty and I am guilty of discovering it via TikTok of course, but it’s great!" —Bella W
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in eight colors).
8. A sandwich cutter and sealer with some delightfully '90s "Uncrustable" energy that will pay for itself in no time. Parents swear by this for easier meal prep because not only does this shape make the sandwiches freeze and store easily, but they can customize the ~insides~ to accommodate food allergies.
Promising review: "PSA — Life hack — Mom hack — whatever you want to call it! If your little one loves those expensive Uncrustables that you know are $10-$15 depending on where you buy, and last a week if you’re lucky — buy these cutters, and then you are the coolest mom ever because you’re never out of Uncrustables. Now I can make all the faves including the sunbutter and jelly so it’s safe for school. You’ll thank me later!" —Amber Lewis
Get a set of three from Amazon for $17.96.
9. 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 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).
10. A "Bread Buddy" dispenser to keep sandwich bread fresh by ensuring it stays *way* more airtight than it does in just the bag alone, and also lets you use the bread bag in a clever way to dispense slices one by one. Tons of reviewers are noting how much longer their bread stays fresh. (And how much easier it is to store without worrying about it getting smushed!)
Buddeez is a family-owned, Missouri-based small business that specializes unique household products.
Check out a TikTok of the Buddeez sandwich bread dispenser in action.
Promising review: "The Buddeez Sandwich Bread Dispenser is great! It does exactly what it was intended for. I live alone and I don't quite go through bread often enough before the last quarter section of the loaf starts to go stale. I was originally looking for something to put a loaf of bread in as a shell for my vacuum sealer, that would keep the bread from getting crushed from the pressure. This dispenser solved all of my problems. Thank you!" —DRMcQuaig
Get it from Amazon for $13.97.
11. A cult-favorite jar of white chocolate pretzel nut butter that answers a risky but important question: What would happen if we found a way to somehow make peanut butter even more delicious?
Nuts N More is a small business specializing in flavored nut spreads and powders.
Promising review: "White chocolate pretzel is exactly what I expected...a delicious sweet and salty treat. It tastes soooo good and there's plenty of chocolate and pretzels in each bite. It's so good that I eat it off the spoon. I initially thought it was pricey but after comparing it to similar but products it's actually a little bit cheaper or equally priced." —Barbara Balter
Get it from Amazon for $14.47 (and get a WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER FLAVORS like birthday cake, cookie dough, and peanut colada — there are 10 to choose from!).
12. A pack of "Miracle Berry" tablets to go on a wild adventure with your taste buds — these temporarily make sour flavors (think: lemon, grapefruit) taste sweet, and make the flavors of your food *pop* in general. (A lot of reviewers with a dulled sense of taste from conditions also swear by these as flavor enhancers!)
The flavor enhancement is most noticeable on sharper and vinegar-based foods, like tomato sauces, dressings, and cheddar cheeses. The effects last up to an hour, and also increase saliva production for easier swallowing.
Promising review: "Don't hesitate to buy. I saw these on TikTok and wanted to try them. They’re awesome and make everything taste sweet." —Amazon Customer
Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $15.99.
13. A delightfully nonstick smiley face pancake pan reviewers use for mini pancakes and eggs to instantly ~pizzazz~ what is indisputably the most delicious meal of the day.
Promising review: "Easy eggs and pancakes. This is a family favorite!! We love cooking with this. It makes breakfast quick and cleanup easy." —AmazonCustomer
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
14. An at-home slushy-making cup so easy to use that you're going to spend the rest of summer in Slushie Town, Population: You. All you have to do is freeze the cup for four hours, pour in the cold drink of your choice (read: anything from soda to LaCroix to juice to smoothies) and crush the sides of the silicone cup until a slush forms.
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: "Best gift I've ever bought! Super easy to use and clean. Just pour in a liquid, squeeze, and instant slushy! So cool!!" —C Warrick
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in three colors).
15. An oil and vinegar dispenser that looks not unlike Shrek decided to open a homegoods store, and this was his first creation.
16. An oh-so-handy double-sided pan for easy flipping, because you know what! Some of us were not born with the sauce "jock gene" where you flip the pancake in the air and wink at the invisible camera! Some of us are clumsy and need an assist!!!!
Promising review: "I had a similar pan for years but the handle eventually broke off and I was really missing it. This pan is even better, because the top will stay open at a 90-degree angle while pouring in pancake batter or whatever. Anything that needs to be flipped is great in this pan. I often make grilled cheese sandwiches in it. It's not good for volume cooking, but I only cook for one or two so it is fine. Another improvement over my old one is that the two pieces fit tighter together when closed, so batter or eggs or whatever don't have a chance to leak out when flipping. Finally, the price was very reasonable." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
17. A 3D-printed wearable "chopstick" that has a cult-following among folks who spend a lot of time at their computers. This lets you pluck snacks out of a bowl without getting your greasy fingers on a mouse or trackpad, making it a boon on a stressful screen-heavy day.
Bonus: This is also a great life hack for anyone with drying nails or manicures they don't want to mess up!
Ridha 3D Printing is a family-run, Michigan-based Etsy shop established in 2021 that specializes in 3D-printed gadgets and toys.
Promising review: "Perfect for what I wanted it for. Now I can game on my PC and eat snacks without getting my mouse and keyboard dirty! Thank you, such an amazing invention. 😊" —Leilani Calderon
Get it from Ridha 3D Printing on Etsy for $4.90 (available in 21 colors and two styles).
18. 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 $20.99 (clip the $2 off charge on the product page for this price).
19. 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 $19.99+ (available in five colors).
20. 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 $18.95 (clip the 20% off coupon on the product page for this price).
21. A quirky Bingo Dog plate and utensil set guaranteed to make any meal a paw-some one. ~Bone~ appetit!!!
Each five-piece set includes a plate, bowl, cup, spoon, and fork made of biodegradable (but dishwasher-safe!) bamboo fiber.
Get it from our Goodful shop for $15 (originally $25).
22. A microwave rapid brownie maker, because the only thing better than homemade brownies is homemade brownies in less than four minutes. All you need is half a box of any regular grocery store mix plus the ingredients, and this gizmo will have you on your way to Brownie City in no time.
Rapid Brands is a Shark Tank-featured small business that specializes in BPA-free, dishwasher-safe, microwaveable kitchenwares. Check out more rapid microwave cookers on their Amazon storefront!
Psst — people swear by this for dorms, studio apartments, and for safer, easier baking with kids!
Promising review: "Love this. Brownies come out very moist. Makes a half of a 13x9 inch brownie mix at a time. This is great for us because we don't have to search for measuring cups and mixing bowls; everything you need but the ingredients are included. The brownies come out moist and chewy and the 'pan' is very easy to clean. I like that I can make half a batch at a time, and what can be wrong with brownies in three and a half minutes?" —Jqbuckley
Get it from Amazon for $6.40.
23. Plus a handy brownie dividing pan designed so you can flex on everyone on the bake sale when you show up with your perfectly crisp-on-the-outside, gooey-on-the-inside brownies all in uniform sizes and shapes. Those chumps with ordinary pans could NEVER.
Promising review: "This pan is great I love it. The brownies came out soft, moist with crispy edges and the nonstick is great, perfect for parties. The pan did leak a tiny bit while baking but not to much. It was easy to remove and an even easier clean up. Glad I purchased it." —Mahogony Cook
Get it from Amazon for $16.43.
24. 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 $14 (also available in a set of six).
25. A peanut butter knife specifically designed to get deep into the nooks and crannies of your jar so that not one precious morsel of PB (or Nutella!!) goodness goes to waste.
Promising review: "After getting tired of ending up with peanut butter on my knuckles as the jars grew more empty (and trying to get the peanut butter stuck to the bottom and sides of the jar), I decided to try this 'knife' out. First off, it's not really a knife — no sharp edges, which makes it great for kids. It is a great kitchen gadget for folks who like peanut butter. It's long enough to keep your knuckles and fingers clean when the jar is nearly empty." —MJS81
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in two colors and packs of two, three, and 12).
26. A stain-resistant nonstick sectioned skillet with five compartments basically made with "girrrrrrrl dinner" in mind — now instead of deciding on one dish, you can cook a bunch of little ones at once! Life is a charcuterie board and we're all just living in it.
Bonus: it's oven- and dishwasher-safe!
Promising review: "Now that I have cooked a few meals with this pan, I can honestly say that I will no longer be needing all my other pans. It just does it all. Cooking several ingredients at the same time and then infusing them together to mix the flavors is something that I have never been able to do before. Keep the pan at a medium heat to always get the best cook, because foods cook differently, and you can take your time in preparing your meal. I recommend this to pretty much anyone who likes to cook and mostly to the ones who dread it!" —Dan S
Get it from Amazon for $49.35.
27. A jar of "Ass Kickin" sweet and spicy jelly beans made with real habanero pepper that start out sweet before bringing on the 🔥.
Ass Kickin' is a small business that specializes in spicy candy, popcorn, and sauces.
Promising review: "If you like spicy and sweet you will most definitely like these jelly beans. It didn't take me long to devour the whole jar and will say that I enjoyed every spicy hot bean. I wouldn't say it's like over the top hot but it's a comfortable hot that keeps me eating one after the other." —Bill Reiner
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
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 $11.40 (and check out some other fun seasonings like sour cream and onion and wild buffalo for more options!).
29. A set of individual bagel molds designed to let you boil *and* bake your bagels, so you can DIY some deliciousness in the comfort of your own home.
Promising review: "This thing made the world of difference in making my bagel. Before using this, my bagel used to get stuck to most pans. However, the first time I used this, my bagel came out perfectly and it was so easy to release. I'm in the process of getting another set. I highly recommend this item if you want to make your bagels bake easily." —Paulo
Get a set of six from Amazon for $29.95.
30. A retro-style smoothie maker that honestly has a lot of audacity being that cute AND that functional?? It blends in either a LITERAL MASON JAR or a plastic portable sports bottle you can pop right off and drink from. But don't you dare underestimate this cute little bean — it can crush ice and blend frozen fruit like nobody's business.
Promising review: "Wow. I have been through many high end blenders that have broken or just didn’t cut it. Well, I am so amazed at this blender. Perfect size for my smoothies and so easy to use. I love how you simply twist on the lid and turn it on. It blends so nicely and doesn’t leave my protein powder on the sides like my old blenders do. It crushed ice and blends up to a perfect consistency. I’ve never written a review on here before but I am amazed at this!! Not to mention it’s so cute on the counter!" –Casey
Get it from Amazon for $34.98 (available in two colors).
31. A "Pasta Monster" spoon and fork set you can use to serve both pasta and salad, and also as inspiration for your new stage name. ("Salad Gremlin" was already taken.)
Promising review: "I love these, they're so cute. I made pasta salad and used these to serve it. My son got a huge kick out of them. They're quite sturdy, easy to wash and a fun addition to our kitchen. I could give these as a gift to my friends and they would love them." —J Band
Get it from Amazon for $17.95.
32. A set of dried edible flowers for anyone whose cottagecore era is only just getting started — 'tis perpetually the season for fairy cakes and flower bread and blooming cocktails 🥰.
Promising review: "These edible flower garnishes elevated my cocktails!! They look so cool in a nice cocktail glass. There is a mix of larger petals and smaller flowers and the colors are very vibrant. I’m definitely buying again for any of my cocktails to kick them up a bit." —This.is.Carlos
Get it from Amazon for $12.95.
33. A whirly twirly serving bowl so you can be like "snack time, but make it WHIMSY."
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $29.
34. A Piggy Pop mold tray because food undeniably tastes better when it's ~literal~. Reviewers were especially impressed with the nonstick quality and the detail of the lil' pops!
Promising review: "I had my doubts and even as I was pouring the batter into the molds, I thought for sure this was a mistake. I was wrong. Awesome product!!! Never have I seen a mold with details like the pig's face that actually do not just completely crumble or distort when you take the baking out! Not certain what this is coated with but even after a few uses I have no complaints at all. Also, the kids LOVE the little piggies!!! A great value too - win, win, win!!!" —Christina
Get it from Amazon for $8.25.
35. An airtight donut storage container to protect the most valuable assets in your kitchen from the perils of staleness and the outside world. This is designed to help you easily transport donuts back from the store without smushing them, and also so you can freeze them and enjoy later!
Touch Up Cup is a family-owned small business featured on Shark Tank specializing in home, storage, and kitchen products.
Promising review: "My wife and I can't stop talking about how fresh tasting the thawed donuts taste after they have been stored and frozen in these containers! I put them out the night before on a small plate, cover it tightly with plastic wrap and thaw them the night before in the refrigerator. They taste like I just bought them at the donut shop. I put them on the top rack in the dishwasher and they come out in perfect condition." —Raider Mike
Get it from Amazon for $17.95.
36. A purrrrfectly-designed cat spatula you'll adore even if people can loosely describe your cooking as a "cat-astrophe."
Peaking after you finish making girl dinner out of your five compartment pan:
