1. A wall-mountable mixer attachment organizer, because your fave stand mixer attachments are sooo helpful, but also so bulky that they pose a very unique storage struggle.
This Texas-based small business stocks lots of helpful kitchen products, including plenty of other accessories for your prized KitchenAid mixer.
Promising review: "The second handy item from this seller that I’m loving! For years now, my mixer heads have taken up valuable space in my cabinet and when you have limited space, you look for solutions. This gadget is now installed under a cabinet out of the way. I think it actually looks like a bit of kitchen sculpture. A clever solution to keep clutter at bay!" —esmosmom
Get it from 3DHomeSolution on Etsy for $12 (available in three colors and with your choice of Command strips or wood screws for mounting). You can also get a version that just holds a single attachment here.
2. A truly amazing 3D-printed floating coffee sculpture that's the monument your morning caffeine fix deserves in its honor, since you pretty much couldn't function without it. Also, this piece will give your kitchen a Disney World-level of whimsy, which is always a plus.
This Atlanta-based small business stocks so many super creative 3D-printed home goods!
Promising review: "Absolutely in love with my floating coffee mug sculpture. I made a display to show it off. Topic of discussion at my house" —Sheila
Get it from Inceptualize3D on Etsy for $30 (available in three colors).
3. A precious little glass cup with a whimsical animal face that will reveal itself even more clearly when you add your favorite beverage. The narwhal in particular has me squealing from cuteness.
It's from a cute boutique based in Houston, Texas!
Promising review: "The cup is so cute! It is surprisingly lighter than I expected, but still feels sturdy. Very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend! :)" —Alice Tang
Get it from LilyAnneStore on Etsy for $14.99 (available in six animals).
4. A beyond clever hanging stemware rack, because the only thing better than a chandelier is a chandelier consisting of wineglasses. It'll also save a ton of space in your cabinets and on your shelves!
Like everything else in this shop, it's made from reclaimed wine barrels!
Promising review: "I love this stemware rack. It is a fantastic addition to complement the updates that we have done to our home." —Greg Weber
5. A Golden Girls clean/dirty dishwasher magnet that'll have all your housemates saying ~thank you for being a friend~ for sparing them the eternal struggle of whether or not it's okay for them to put their gross cereal bowl in the machine.
The Red Swan is a go-to Etsy destination for cool pop culture gifts and cards!
Promising review: "Super strong magnet! I love this show and it def adds some fun to doing the dishes!" —Cat Fuhs
Get it from TheRedSwanGiftShop on Etsy for $7.95.
6. An heirloom-worthy cutting board custom engraved with a favorite family recipe, so you'll never forget the secret ingredient to your great-grandma's Bolognese again.
Promising review: "I surprised my mom and three siblings with cutting boards and purchased one for myself. The service was excellent and communication outstanding. They keep you informed every step of the way. I was practically in tears. It’s so beautiful! Pictures don’t do justice to this beautiful piece!" —nieciep53
Get it from MorningJoyCo on Etsy for $69+ (available with engraving on one or both sides).
7. A standout apron with a roomy front pocket that's so pretty, I wouldn't be surprised if it earned you your own cooking show. So what if you can barely boil water? You'll *look* like a top chef in this.
It's from a Black woman-owned shop specializing in fabric home goods in African-inspired prints.
Promising review: "This apron is absolutely beautiful! I searched for weeks to find an apron to replace my old one and this one looks even better in person. Well worth the money." —makeba lavan
Get it from BespokeBinny on Etsy for $49.68 (available for straight or plus sizes).
8. A super useful washable, reusable, cotton-blend towel made to do (and excel at) one very specific job. Namely, absorb all the grease from your bacon with less waste than just using a paper towel.
Just use it to blot bacon like you would a normal paper towel, then soak it in hot water and degreasing dish soap and toss it in the washer to be used again. This genius creation is from a woman-owned, Colorado-based shop that makes fabric alternatives to all sorts of disposable household products and donates 1% of proceeds to Climate Emergency Fund.
Promising review: "OK, I'm really impressed! I thought it might be inconvenient compared with paper, but I am sooo amazed! It soaked up the bacon and left it perfect (no paper bits). Super easy to wash with a bit of dish soap by hand and toss it in the dishwasher. I'm telling all my friends! Excellent shop, highly recommend!" —Julie
Get it from GreenCityLiving on Etsy for $12.

Get a set of two (one large and one small) from OlveraHome on Etsy for $12. Get the matching coasters here.
10. A ~fantastically~ funny unicorn horn for your KitchenAid mixer that should win every design award known to man (and mythological equine), because it's pretty much the only thing that could make your favorite kitchen gadget better.
Get it from Inceptualize3D on Etsy for $12 (available in 10 colors).
11. An iconic Schitt's Creek quote dish towel ideal for wiping up spilled meadow harvest smoothies (probably best you didn't drink it) or bits of cheese you forgot to fold in.
This Colorado-bases small business features lots of adorable and pop culture-inspired embroidery!
Get it from MountainGirlSewing on Etsy for $11+ (available in 15 colors and in five quotes or a custom quote).
12. A special "bib" for your splashy faucet, because *everyone* drips water at least a bit when they wash their hands or dishes — you're not doing it wrong. Especially if you live in an NYC apartment with a very strange water pressure-to-sink-basin ratio like I do.
It's from an Oregon-based small business, and you can also message the seller for a custom design.
Promising review: "LOVE these splash catchers! They save me from having to chase the puddles that form around the base of our faucet before they start creeping over the counter.

Promising review: "Love, love, love these! Super high quality." —Nikki
Get them from OrlyRabinowitz on Etsy for $57.
16. A genius butter dish and grip set that'll put your butter knife out of business. Just pop the stick straight onto the grip and spread away for hassle-free pan greasing.

I am slowly getting rid unnecessary plastics in my household and I wanted something that would keep the wooden brushes and sponges propped up so they're not sitting in their own drippy water.
