We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed collects a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A magnetic cork and dry erase calendar to help you meal plan, create grocery lists, remember coupons, and more. We use one of these at home and it is a total game changer — it helps us keep track of meals so we aren't having mac 'n' cheese every night!
2. A six-pack of magnetic grocery list pads so you can add to your shopping lists as soon as you realize you need a new bottle of ketchup or peanut butter.
3. A four-pack of clear plastic storage bins with handy built-in dividers, because when you are in a rush and have to grab snacks you want them to be organized! These containers are great for storing grab-and-go snacks. I get so much satisfaction around seeing my cupboards and fridge so nicely organized 🥰
4. And these clear plastic storage bins if you want the option to organize larger items like fruits and veggies. You can also use these bins to categorize your condiments, yogurts, and kids' snacks — and if you have young children, these are the perfect product to help them learn about categorizing, which is part of simple early learning math concepts. Organization and math all wrapped up in one?! Sign me up!
5. A pack of Stasher silicone reusable bags because let's face it, we could all cut back on single-use products. These bags are easy to wash and make me feel like I am doing something positive for the environment. Plus, when stored, they take up less space in my drawers compared to cardboard boxes of disposable sandwich baggies.
6. An 8-quart Instant Pot that's sure to get everyone in the family jazzed about dinner! This 11-in-1 gadget is a pressure cooker, slow cooker, steamer, sauté pan, food warmer, sous vide, air fryer, roaster, mini-oven, broiler, *and* dehydrator, which means dinnertime just got way more interesting.
7. The Ultimate Instant Pot Cookbook, a guide that's chock-full of delicious mealss which are sure to impress your loved ones (and your taste buds). With over 200 recipes, at least one will join the weekly rotation (even that meal on the cover looks bomb!).
8. A stylish metal and bamboo bread box, since we are over here elevating our counter space. I always loved the idea of a bread box, it feels so country and wholesome — but this one also has a sleek aesthetic edge. Its design keeps bread and pastries fresher for longer, so bid farewell to the "I just bought this bread, how is is already stale?" conundrum.
9. A United States map placemat so you can incorporate learning into mealtime! Use these to quiz your little ones on their states and capitals so they can *school* their friends. They're also easy to clean and store away, which is always a bonus!
10. A wall organizer with five spots to help keep all your cleaning supplies in one place and stored neatly. We have one of these at home and it is a total game changer. No longer do I have to dedicate extra minutes to figuring out where my husband left the broom!
11. A set of four dinosaur-shaped silicone ice pop molds for your dino-obsessed kiddo. As a parent myself, I am always trying to find new and innovative ways to get my 2-year-old to eat more greens. I find that these are the perfect tool to incorporate more healthy options into their diet via frozen smoothie pops!
12. And a blender so you can make smoothies to turn into delicious dino pops! Honestly, I can only say good things about our Vitamix, it seriously is a game changer. They are easy to clean and have a great warranty.
13. A sturdy 10-piece glass food storage set that will keep your fridge nice and tidy. This set will help you get started on your meal prep journey or just give you more options when it comes to storing leftover. The glass containers won't get stained or smelly the way plastic ones do, and the glass part of the containers can go directly into the oven!
14. A two-tier bamboo dish rack so you can dry your dishes in style. We have one of these and I gotta say, it is way more aesthetically pleasing than those boring wired dish racks — and holds more dishes than most of them. Plus, it's easily collapsible, so you can get it out of the way at times when you need access to all your counter space ASAP. Def worth the $20!
15. And a bamboo utensil holder that goes with the above drying rack because we need to cover all the bases here, right? Here is another simple, yet stylish option to help your kitchen look and feel more modern. And its slatted design will help your utensils dry faster than a closed metal or plastic holder (plus, it helps you avoid the dreaded "bottom of the utensil holder sludge" buildup).
16. A two-tier storage turntable so you can easily access kitchen items without having to dig through your cupboard — meaning, you will never again have to empty your entire spice cupboard just to find the cumin. Plus, the two levels give you the option to store more items.
17. A set of four Puj Phillup Rinse Cups that you can hang on the fridge so your little ones can easily access them (instead of keeping them in cupboards that they can't reach). These cups are super fun and sure to get your kids jazzed about drinking more water. Have you had your eight cups of water today?! Better get drinking!
18. A bamboo dishwashing brush so you can toss that sponge aside and really get down to the nitty gritty of cleaning. Our family loves this brush; it gets tough messes clean and with it, we no longer have to deal with the sponge and its weird mildewy smell!
19. An adjustable box organizer to *level up* your shelving and organization game. These small shelves, which are great for boxes of cling wrap, sandwich baggies, garbage bags, and other kitchen storage necessities, will help organize your cupboards and free up space.
20. A kids' knife set that's specifically designed to allow your budding chef to hone their culinary skills without cutting their little fingers. The blunted tips and serrated edges make them much safer than traditional kitchen lives, so older kids who want to get in on the dinner prep action can help cut soft vegetables or desserts.
21. A gold-toned two-tier fruit basket because it's an easy way to *elevate* your kitchen's style — and your bananas! This basket makes sure you have enough room for all your healthy snacks, and the banana hook makes sure your favorite form of potassium has its own spot to hang, where it won't get bruised by apples or oranges.
22. A stainless-steel sink area organizer so you neatly store all your dishwashing essentials, instead of balancing your sponges and scrubbers on the side of your sink all willy-nilly. We are totally here for everything having a place in the kitchen. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
23. A Tupperware lid organizer that will forever change your life. Use it to store all the lids that are currently floating around your cupboard, so you can *always* find a lid that matches its corresponding container.
24. A baby food maker, if you have little ones in the house, so you can easily make fresh and healthy meals when it comes time to start solids. Another bonus: it is portable, so you can still make food when you finally decide to take your first vacation with baby.
25. A bottle sterilizer, also for new parents, that'll make hand-washing bottles and boiling them a thing of the past. This sterilizer can clean six bottles in six minutes and is guaranteed to kill 99.9% of germs! Plus, you can use it beyond bottles to sanitize other household and kitchen items, like breast pumps and kids utensils. Hooray for baby products that have a life beyond infants!
26. A bottle of cruelty-free, biodegradable Mrs. Meyers dish soap which is the only soap we use in our household. This is a brand I trust, because they use natural ingredients and it really does the job, especially on grease. I love the basil scent, but they have a plethora of other scents if you only like basil on your pizza!
27. A microwave cart that will also give you more counter space so you can really get *cookin'!* 🍳 I love that this cart has lockable wheels, two shelves, and hooks to store things like pot holders and ladles. It's also easy on the eyes, making it the very definition of form meets function).
28. A good ole cast-iron skillet that you won't regret investing in, I promise. It's a multi-purpose tool that can bake, broil, grill saute, sear — once you go cast iron, you'll never go back! We use this skillet for everything, including over a fire when we go camping.
29. And a chainmail cast iron scrubber so you can keep your skillet in good condition! This scrubber is better than your average sponge and will keep your skillet intact for years to come.
30. A toddler kitchen helper step-up stool so your child can watch the action while you prepare dinner, or learn how to do the dishes (one can only hope). We love this product in our house as it helps foster independence in the kitchen. Our kids can wash their hands and reach their favorite snacks, all on their own.
31. A Simple Human double trash can that is *simply* the best. We invested in one of these bad boys and let me tell you, I have never been happier. We love that the recycling bin comes out easily and that the trash bag refills live inside the can. We also love how easy it is to clean.
