Promising review: "I absolutely love my Caraway cookware! They are so easy to clean and the magnetic organizers are great for easy storage in kitchen cabinets. I love the hanging lid holder as it saves space and is super convenient (and renter friendly with the adhesive hooks). The only thing I would mention is that they are not super lightweight. Otherwise, they are superb quality, nontoxic, nonstick, and beautiful!" —Rachel
Get it from Amazon for $395 (available in seven colors).

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

Promising review: "Matched our counters and almost blends in completely. We roll it up in the morning after all the dishes are dry. Great for smaller spaces with less counter space and protects the counter from water damage over time. Washed it in normal laundry cycle a number of times and it comes out clean as if new each time with no pilling. Spilled coffee on it on accident, sprayed flex, tossed it in the wash and it cleaned completely." —Shopmindfully

Get it from Amazon for $34.88 (available in four styles).

I love using the hot water first for my morning matcha, then I add the loose tea to the remainder of the hot water for my afternoon tea. It’s perfect for me and despite being worried about putting it on the burner at first, it turns out it’s nothing to be worried about at all. It works and looks super cute!" —DeeAnna
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.

Promising review: "Is it possible...a toaster can be...this sexy? Yes. Absolutely yes. This sexy toaster fit right in my farmhouse-style kitchen with its cool mint-green color and retro vibes. Pros: four slots, and they are the wide-and-long type, meaning those fancier breads fit without squishing the sides of your slice. It has a bagel setting, as well as a nifty reheat button so your toast doesn't get burnt or overly crispy if you aren't hovering over it and miss it pop up and have to retoast it. It is fairly easy to clean, just dump the tray, so no worries about crumbs or bits of bread burning in the bottom and ruining the perfect taste of your slice. The knobs have a neat texture and are adjustable so you can time it just right for Pop Tarts, toast, or toasted sandwich bread. Cons: My husband is a little jealous of how much I love this toaster, and has been asking me if it is better than him. What could I say? I mean it makes TOAST, all he makes is methane gas so... Maybe consider ordering a couples therapy workbook to go with this toaster when purchasing." —Alice R.
Get it it from Amazon for $79.99 (also available in a two-slice style).
26. A drip coffee maker boasting a matte-white design and copper finishes that'll make your kitchen look effortlessly elegant. This good-lookin' appliance is filled with modern features like Alexa and Google Assistant compatibility *and* Voice-To-Brew controls.
This beauty has a 10-cup capacity and even stores your favorite settings for number of cups, temperature, and brew strength. It's also equipped with built-in Wi-Fi that works with the SmartHQ app, Alexa, and Google. You can brew to your favorite temperature every time thanks to a precision coffee maker that creates drip coffee from 185 degrees–205 degrees. BTW, you'll need cone-shaped filters for this!
Promising review: "I bought this gorgeous machine for my coffee snob husband for Father’s Day. I went with the stainless and thermal carafe. After going through roughly six coffee makers in the last three years, we found a keeper. I thought he was going to cry drinking the first cup brewed using the Gold setting. Price is a little steep, but certainly cheaper than the total cost of all the fails we’ve gone through. Bonus points for the engagement of our teenagers setting it up on Wi-Fi and integrating with Alexa. I love the the convenience of the app. It makes setting schedules so easy. I can set up the entire week based on everyone’s calendar. It’s amazeballs. We have yet to play around with the settings since Gold has been a win, but the ability to make the amount you want on demand is wonderful. We usually start out the day with the max of 10 cups (I do wish it was 12), then make additional smaller amounts on demand. Brew time is FAST, maybe six minutes. I keep meaning to time it and keep forgetting. This is a fancy looking maker and looks amazing on the countertop. Even the box is high-end. My frugal husband gave me serious side-eye when opening it. I could see the 'WTF did you spend on this?' on his face. First cup and he was content and would possibly have sacrificed our first born for it. It’s a keeper." —Hilary
Get it from Amazon for $229 (available in two styles and three colors).
27. A 10-piece mixing bowl set you can use as mixing bowls, serving dishes, leftover containers, and the family popcorn bowls. I own these and have told my whole family to get them. You all were next on my list! Get them.
I bought these bowls after a coworker found them (you bet I'm a sucker for BuzzFeed shopping posts) and I can't help but rave about them! They all nest easily, which makes storing simple in my tiny Brooklyn kitchen, and the lids are a major bonus for storing leftovers. They're also practically indestructible – my cat has knocked these off the counter as a set and individually (he's a monster) and they've held up great!
Promising review: "I love these bowls! Not only are they pretty, but they are the right size for my everyday needs. I honestly think I've used one of them nearly every day since I got them. I'm extremely happy with my purchase." —J Owens
Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in two colors).
28. A French-style marble butter keeper — this makes butter so soft, rich, and spreadable you're gonna think it's the best thing since sliced bread.
Promising review: "There are people who have this butter bowl and then there are savages. It’s like Zeus made a statue of himself and then carved the butter bowl out of that. I feel like society moved one step closer to true enlightenment with this invention. It really is the cats meow, and keeps our cat from licking the butter!" —Mike
Get it from Amazon for $26.45+ (available in two styles).
29. A *lavender* baking set perfect to put on a wedding registry or a birthday wish list. Each piece is made with heavy-duty aluminized steel and a ceramic finish. Dare I say...these might be even more *delicious* than the foods we all make in them (oh yeah, you bet I'm getting myself a set).
Promising review: "This set has everything! I’m so happy that I finally have a matching set! I love the color too! The large baking dish is perfect for large portions. I doubled a recipe of my shepherd's pie and still had plenty of room. The pans have been great — nothing has stuck to them yet and they clean up so easily. I’m loving this brand. Everything has been great quality and a really reasonable price." —JackieG
Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in six colors).
30. A collection of cone drinking glasses from Verve Culture for anyone on the hunt for a drinking glass that is equal parts sophisticated and unique. Your search is over! Go ahead, drink in that win.
I own these glasses! My husband and I wanted something more upscale than standard water glasses for when we have people over for dinner, but didn't want wineglasses. These were the perfect find. They are easy to wash and look great on display in our open cupboards.
Promising review: "These gorgeous glasses are so worth buying! They feel great in the hand and are just a delight to look at. They make a great gift for wedding showers, weddings, or anniversaries. Plus, they're handmade in Morocco! I love these so much!" —USA Lover
Get them from Amazon for $48.99 (available in three colors).
31. And finally, a sprinkle-filled cake tray so you can put your homemade (or lovingly store-bought) birthday cakes on the pedestal a dessert that delicious deserves.
Promising review: "This plate is so fun. It's the perfect size for a round cake. I used it for my daughter's first birthday smash cake and photos. It was everything I was hoping for and then some. It's great quality and super fun — the sprinkles move around on the inside. I'll definitely be using it for other parties and serving platter." —Katherine Keating
Get it from Amazon for $32.60.
Alright folks, you know what to do!
