27. A spiralizer you'll love so much it'll make you want to turn everything in your life into a noodle (but maybe just stick to veggies, OK?).
28. A Belgian waffle maker, just like the ones you'll find waiting for you during a hotel buffet breakfast. (And everyone knows those waffles are ALWAYS the best.)
29. Or a soft serve machine that'll turn your favorite fruit into your new go-to dessert in no time at all.
30. Reusable baking cups so you can say "see ya'!" to getting frustrated while attempting to peel the paper off your freshly baked muffins and cupcakes.
