1. A rotating 2-in-1 colander and washing basket with a handle to make it *that* much easier to drain water without it being an entire two-act Broadway production of finagling things in the sink.
2. A set of magnetic fridge spice organizers to magically create storage space out of ~thin air~, and keep all your favorite spices and seasonings in convenient eye-level reach.
Promising review: "These work well and solve the problem of having to dig into a cabinet to find spices. These shelves are better than mounting a spice rack as the shelves have strong magnets that easily stick to a the side of a metal appliance as shown in the product description." —Michael

3. An absurdly adorable mushroom kitchen timer so you can go full cottagecore with the aesthetic when you're baking muffins on a cozy Sunday afternoon.
This winds up and times up to 60 minutes, ending in a loud buzzer. Reviewers also use it to help time themselves with work tasks and studying.
Promising review: "This is whimsical and fun, my kids love it. I tell them their dinner comes from a fairy mushroom forest. 😋 Works great, keeps my little monsters in line — 'Dad, the mushroom went off.' Love it." —Vik V
Get it from Amazon for $8.95 (available in four colors).
4. A set of reusable Gripstic bag sealers, which are sticks that clamp over open snack bags to make sure they're genuinely sealed and airtight. (We cannot risk letting our beloved Cheez-Its get stale!!) These also save a lot of space compared to regular chip clips, and are safer considering there isn't a spring that could either wear out or break on you in the middle of sealing something 😬.
Gripstic is a small business that specializes in reusable chip clips.
Promising review: "I'm a stickler about stale chips and have always used those little snapping clips. I thought they worked pretty well, but they really don't compared to Gripsticks. The snack that proved this the most was Pirate's Booty. If these are exposed to air for more than three minutes, they turn into styrofoam peanuts. I promise they're just as fresh as when you first open them with Gripsticks. They're going to be my go-to chip clips moving forward." —Rachel Campbell

5. A microwave bacon cooker because as fun as it is to get your cardio in dodging bacon grease spitting at you from the pan, THERE IS ANOTHER WAY. This can cook seven to nine strips at a time, and comes with grooves and a spout designed to pour out the extra fat.
Promising review: "Best way to make bacon!!!!! I will never cook bacon any other way. Bought one for me and one for my daughter. Buying one for my MIL for Christmas." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "The magnet is great, sticks to fridge very well, does not slide or move. Perfect for planning meals and adding needed grocery items to the right side. Then you just tear off the right side and head to the store. This has made our family meal planning so much easier!" —SandyBeach
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in two styles).
7. An investment-worthy MicrowavaBowl designed with habitual leftover reheaters in mind — this ceramic bowl has an elevated center that distributes the heat evenly and quickly, guaranteeing there won't be any cold spots when you dig in to your grub. It's also dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup!
Promising review: "These bowls are high quality and very convenient. They heat up food very quickly and evenly, saving you valuable time and energy. Its ability to heat the food and not the bowl itself is very valuable to me. Prior to this purchase, I would have to use a hot bowl holder to avoid burning my fingers. The size of the bowls are perfect for the dishwasher, making them easy to clean and use. I would highly recommend them to friends and family!" —Alana
Get it from Amazon for $29.95.
8. A ring can opener, because holy SMOKES can those be annoying to open. Reviewers swear by this for getting a quick and easy grip without wrecking their nails or cutting themselves on the edges of the lid. It's also a super handy tool for people with arthritis and joint pain.
Promising review: "It does the job it's supposed to do. I was cutting my hand trying to open cans. This allows me to get a better grip on the little loopy thing, and gives me leverage to open the can." —P. Alscher
Get it from Amazon for $8.25.
9. Plus a can colander to easily drain the juices from your canned goods. (No offense to whatever it is our beloved chickpeas are swimming in!!)
Promising review: "For years, I’ve been saying somebody needs to invent something to easily drain tuna. Finally, it’s here. Drains in 1-2-3. Quick, easy, and no mess. No longer do you have to deal with being sprayed or getting your hands messy. I only wish I had been smart enough to invent it myself. Who knew such a simple item would save so much time and less mess in the kitchen." —Lisa
Get it from Amazon for $8.10.
10. A hybrid digital food scale and measuring cup so convenient and clever that you'll be like, "Am I Bill Nye the literal science guy??" every time you're measuring out ingredients for food prep and baking.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this measuring cup!!! What a great invention. I love that I can put flour in, reset it and add sugar, reset it and add milk, etc. One cup for measuring several things at the same time. Love, love, love it!!!!" —wolfpause
Get it from Amazon for $19.98 (available in three colors).
11. A colorful 24-ounce Simple Modern leakproof tumbler with a design that says, "Stanley cup, but make it CIRCUS." These delightfully-mismatched insulated bottles are technically the version they made for kids, but adults are loving them for the whimsy of it all (and because they're not as heavy as the 40-ounce version).
Promising review: "We ended up getting our whole family these cups. These kids cups are impressive. They don’t leak! I figured they would have a slow, steady drip but no, they are solid. I really like that the straws are flexible and I don’t have to worry about my kids knocking out a tooth or taking out their eye. 😅 I also appreciate that the straw inside stays attached and doesn’t randomly fall off like other cups we have had in the past." —Brian T. Berg
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in 19 styles).
12. Plus an adjustable straw cover that works for preeeeeetty much any viral cult-fave water bottle under the sun, keeping it safe from germs, dust, and *gestures vaguely at who even knows what else is in the air*.

Promising review: "They keep my mind at ease because I know that they will not leak and bugs will not get in my water. They're super easy to clean and they're leakproof. They will last a long time." —rb
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $6.89.
13. A set of convenient suctioning "Food Cubby" dividers to portion out plates so food, sauces, and dressings don't co-mingle — perfect for picky eaters young *and* old who would rather pretend that we don't live in a world where broccoli and mac 'n' cheese are occasionally allowed to touch.
Check out a TikTok of the food cubby in action.
Food Cubby is a small business specializing in family-friendly kitchen accessories.
Promising review: "I love these! Even as an adult, I hate my food touching. Thought they might keep things apart but not juices or things, but they really stick to the plate, and the meat juice doesn't run into the salad. It saves me from having different plates for each food. I wish I had these a long time ago." —Superbeckee
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99.
14. A 14-slot chicken wing rack for the oven, smoker, or grill designed so the juices can drip down on your veggies, taking care of the main dish *and* a delicious side all in one go.
Reviewers mention that if you're not using foil on the bottom you shouldn't wait too long after cooking to clean it, or the juices will set and get hard to scrub.
Promising review: "Cooks legs so well! The skin gets crispy with no extra fat. We marinade the chicken first and have loved every meal so far." —Selina Shivey
Get it from Amazon $18.99.
15. A sweet Nessie sugar spoon reviewers are obsessed with, and for good reason. It infuses just the right amount of ~whimsy~ into the best parts of their day (read: that first cup of coffee, the first bite of oatmeal, that lil' bowl of ice cream before bed). It also has a very satisfying weight and curve for optimum sipping.
Promising review: "This little silly spoon makes me happy. It is now the #1 spoon everyone looks for in the silverware drawer at our house. Often found in a container of ice cream or a mug of tea living its best little life." —Emily
Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (also available in sets of four and eight).
16. A terracotta garlic roaster to instantly elevate any meal with some savory mouthwatering garlic with barely any work. Reviewers love adding this to everything from baguettes to pasta to pizza!
17. A magnetic microwave cover perfect for anyone whose Panera soup obsession is a little *too* well documented over every surface inside of their microwave. This conveniently sticks to the top of your microwave so you can pop it right off whenever you're looking to tear up some broccoli cheddar on a wild Tuesday night.
Hover Cover is a small business that specializes in microwave covers for home kitchen use.
Check out a TikTok of the microwave cover in action.
Promising review: "If you live in a small space like I do, this will seriously change your life. No longer do I have to struggle to find somewhere to put my cover if I'm heating up a cup of coffee. Just attach it to the roof of your microwave. Hopefully, you have a flat surface; check before you buy. There is a slight learning curve as to where to put it or the force or lack thereof needed, but after a couple of times it's second nature. Love, love, love this product. I'm probably going to get some for Christmas presents next year, it's one of those items that you wouldn't necessarily buy for yourself but it will change your life." —Rachel
Get it from Amazon for $24.95.
18. A rectangular lazy Susan to turn you into a legitimate fridge wizard by holding *way* more than the traditional round version.

Check out a TikTok of the rectangular Lazy Susan in action.
Promising review: "Wow! I love this turntable organizer! I can fit so many items on it, and because of that, I now have so much more space on the door shelves. With this organizer, I will have easy access to all of those extra items that just don't have their own space. Now they do have a place to go! I would highly recommend this product to everyone who wants to feel more organized and doesn't want to lose items in their fridge." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $21.59,
19. A tres chic K-Cup storage drawer that even comes with three dividers for your three different genres of coffee pods — caffeinated, decaffeinated, and "I need a silly lil' seasonal flavor to get through the grind of capitalism today, so help me god."
Each of these holds up to 36 standard-sized K-Cups.
Promising review: "I am so glad I got this. It makes for such great streamlined storage. Keeps things tidy and neat, and also helps me keep track of how many cups I have left to determine whether or not I need to add to my grocery list. It is very sturdy and I fit my machine on top. The top is very durable, hard plastic and does not buckle with the weight of the machine filled with water on top." —tunisianswife
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three sizes and six colors).
20. A neat-o little rolling egg dispenser to save space in your fridge *and* make you feel like you're the master of gravity itself — its uniquely angled tilt design lightly rolls a new egg forward every time you pull one out to use.
YouCopia is a woman-owned small business that specializes in home storage solutions.
Promising review: "Here it is! The best egg container on Amazon! How can I say that? Easy! Engineering! The slight tilt angle on the bottom of the container that the egg drawer sits on forces eggs to lightly roll forward, keeping all your eggs in the front, and never in the back, where you don't need them. It's super easy to use, so easy to clean, comes apart and can hold a full can organizer on top without issue, so no issues with sturdiness. It can easily hold 14 large eggs. Easily one of my favorite purchases." —Karingen
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
21. A set of collapsible silicone microwave to-go containers you can slide into your purse and whip out whenever you have leftovers at restaurants, aka the ULTIMATE in "avoiding cooking my next meal at all costs" hack. These beat regular takeout boxes by a mile because they're leakproof and you can pop them right into the microwave when you're ready for Chicken Parm, Round Two.
SuperDee Corp is a small business that specializes in food storage products.
Promising review: "I keep one of these in my bag at all times, and now I can bring home leftovers from restaurants and not have to deal with single use plastic or Styrofoam to go containers that will just be floating around the planet a thousand years from now. They have never leaked or spilled. They are well made, easy to open and close, and take up little space in my bag." —Kristen Nicoletti
Get a set of four from Amazon for $24.95.
22. A SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher to turn virtually *any* device with a press-able "on/off" switch into smart tech in an instant. Once you adjust the device over the button — be it a light switch, a switch to turn on your kettle, or a switch to turn on a fan — you can ask Alexa or Google Home to turn it off or on, or control it via an app on your phone.
Reviewers love this because it doesn't require you to "smart enable" other parts of your home. It's also a great way to turn on your kettle or coffee brewer from the other room so it's ready for you when you get out of bed!
Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for and had no idea it existed until I saw someone mention it on TikTok! Our front walkway gets pretty dark at night, and I was frustrated with trying to remember to turn on the light every evening and off every morning. I looked into those light sensors you can plug in, but our front porch light is under an awning with enough shade that it would have kept the light on 24/7. This little Switchbot solved the problem. I applied it to the indoor light switch and set the time on my phone. It has worked perfectly ever since." —Alecia McLochlin
Get it from Amazon for $29 (available in white and black).
23. An attachable Stanley cup snack bowl for the ultimate in "girl dinner" hacks. Now you can have all your beloved snacks close to your face and be *thissss* close to living the dream of eating out of a trough like a fluffy farm animal.
Psst — lots of reviewers say this fits their Stanley cup *and* the cheaper alternative versions of it, like this $29 Simple Modern tumbler.
Check out a TikTok of the Stanley snack cup in action.
Promising review: "If using this snack holder on my Stanley is wrong, I don't want to be right. Now when I sit at baseball tournaments all day, I don't have to keep reaching into snack bags and coolers. We all get the snack we want and never have to carry more than a cup. I do get some odd looks but if they had one, they wouldn't be judging anymore. Sits very sturdily on my tumbler but comes off easily when I'm done with it." —Abby
Get it from Amazon for $12.79 (available in five colors).
24. A set of space-saving nesting snail measuring spoons and cups that are as clever as they are cute — the snail heads on the handles to the cups are secretly measuring spoons, so you're covered for all ingredient needs, big and small.
Promising review: "These are adorable but they also nest perfectly, so really are practical. They are exactly the measurement they say they are and I am super happy with them. They make me smile every time I see them." —Love To Cook
Get it from Amazon for $17.95.
25. A butter spreader, which is basically like a Pez dispenser but for butter??? Instead of contending with a knife you can just push a bit of the butter stick out of the dispenser and apply it directly to warm toast, pancakes, corn, or the butter-able dish if your choosing.
Check out a TikTok of the butter spreader in action.
Promising review: "I remember having a butter holder, exactly like this, for corn when I was growing up. It was nice to find the same one. No more having the butter slip off the corn when applying it with a knife. No more tricks like using a fork and having the butter melt through the tines or how about buttering a slice of bread and wrapping it around the corn and spinning it. It’s also great that the butter is covered at one end by the plunger and the other end by a cover. This way, the butter will stay fresh and always ready when you need it." —Allison
Get it from Amazon for $6.30.
26. A "HiccAway" straw designed to effectively stop hiccups in their tracks before you turn into a human hiccup concert. Sure beats that whole "drink a glass of water upside down" thing that ended well for you ... precisely zero times.
HiccAway is a small business that specializes in hiccup relief products.
Promising review: "It's rare for me to say that a product needs to be in every home but the HiccAway is one of those products that really should be in every household. If you or your children suffer from the occasional hiccups, this is a lifesaving device. It usually takes me 20 minutes to get rid of my hiccups using old fashioned methods like chugging water, holding my breath, etc. However with the HiccAway, hiccups are gone almost immediately. I have purchased three of these and will continue buying them for friends and family, especially those with little children." —Michelle S.
Get it from Amazon for $15.42 (available in seven colors and multipacks).
27. 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 $7.19.
28. A collapsible single-serve pourover coffee dripper (dubbed a "Pourigami") slim enough to slide into your back pocket. Just because you're in the office or on the go doesn't mean you deserve anything less than the yummiest coffee those beans can brew!!
Promising review: "The perfect travel pour over coffee dripper. Very sturdy, very compact and very easy to use as long as you understand that it is not as tall as the usual dripper and therefore you have to pour smaller amounts of water in an increased number of pours. I expect it to last forever." —P. I. M.
Get it from Amazon for $29.95.
29. 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 $4.99.
30. A handy collapsible twisting whisk to save you time twice over — not only does flattening it out after mixing make it easy to shake the excess batter into the bowl, but *wayyy* easier to clean. Bonus: it's dishwasher-safe and heat-safe up to 392 degrees F!
Check out a TikTok of the collapsible whisk in action.
Promising review: "Absolutely perfect. Easy to clean, easy to use, very sturdy. The whisk stays in the positions quite well, it stows away quite flat. The perfect solution for a kitchen with limited storage!" —CMA01
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
31. A handy brownie dividing pan so you can flex during the next cozy movie night by presenting your friends with perfectly crisp-on-the-outside, gooey-on-the-inside brownies all in uniform sizes and shapes. Those chumps with ordinary pans could NEVER.
Um, I'm obsessed with this pan. I make those gooey three-layer brownies that are cookie dough on the bottom, Oreos in the middle, and either brownie or Nutella on top, and I famously underbake them because salmonella doesn't apply to me. Which is to say, usually when I make these it's a big gooey mess and my friends have to dig in with a spoon and it's less inviting for guests to take one. With this tray it was SO easy to put the batter in, stick the divider on top, and bake individual small bars. it was completely nonstick, and it was easy to pull the divider out once everything was cooked. The uniform brownies were a huge hit at a party!
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
32. A garden gnome dish brush that really requires no rationalization for purchasing (just LOOK at him!!), but in case you need it, reviewers love how unexpectedly ergonomic his little hat handle is, and how firm and durable the bristles are for cleaning.
Promising review: "The bristles are strong. Some of these scrubbers are prone to splitting at the first sign of difficulty. Not this little guy, he hangs in there cleaning up my messes with ease. What a guy!" —sarah sproul
Get it from Amazon for $19.95.
33. A spill stopper because "a watched pot never boils" but you better believe an unwatched pot will become an overflowing little BRAT the instant you get distracted by one too many TikToks. Now you'll have some extra insurance the next time you're on a "what on earth is going on during that nine-month world cruise??" rabbit hole.
Promising review: "Wow wow wow, I have no words to describe how great this product is. I'm a mom with a large family who cooks and bakes all the time, and there is never a time that something doesn't spill over even when standing and watching the pot. With this, life has just gotten easy. I think I'm throwing out all my pot covers after using this." —Rackel
Get it from Amazon for $20.
34. A nonslip clear food prep and cutting board that can just coexist with everything else in your kitchen without compromising the ~aesthetic~ or taking up extra storage space. With this you can take care of messy kitchen projects and keep cleanup to a minimum.
Promising review: "This piece is beautiful. I love how it's clear and shows what is underneath. I can have it on my counter all the time and it looks to be part of the kitchen. I've chopped many things on it and I have no scratches. Very easy to clean." —Amazon Customer
