We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A self-sharpening knife set so your slices and dices will be just as beautiful as the rest of your kitchen. Plus the classy wooden storage block will merge beautifully with any decor.
2. A Instant Pot because while I know they may seem overhyped, trust me, they are completely accurately hyped. They're a lifesaver for quick dinners and set-it-and-forget-it basics.
3. An iced coffee maker that brews in minutes, instead of overnight, so you should probably just keep this cutie on your counter at all times, in case an iced coffee emergency strikes.
4. A vacuum sealer to satisfy your deep Squirrel Storing Nuts For Winter impulses — just think of how much food you can stock up on with this thing!
5. A set of modern cotton kitchen towels because just replacing your old stained ones will give your kitchen such an immediate (and affordable) upgrade.
6. A bottle opener for both wine and beer to ensure you're never stuck without one — these little things love to disappear, so even if you have one, you should probably get a backup.
7. A KitchenAid stand mixer – it'll whip up cookies, cakes, bread, and more, and look darn cute while doing it. If you leave it out it's basically a decorative kitchen accessory that also says, "Hey! I make really good treats!"
8. A double basket air fryer because letting your chicken nuggets get all cold and sad while you wait for your fries to cook afterwards is basically a criminal offense.
9. A set of glass mixing bowls with lids that are sturdy enough to do any cooking job you can imagine, and classic enough that you can serve meals right out of them. Plus, you can just pop a lid on those leftovers and they turn into quick storage containers.
10. A countertop safe bakeware set so you can stop having to deal with trivets and kitchen towels to protect your countertops while your baked goods cool.
11. A salad spinner because nothing is sadder than a damp or dirty salad. And the spin is super satisfying, IMO.
12. A big solid wood salad bowl so that every time you look at it you can imagine being the kind of person who serves beautiful salads at a dinner party, whether or not you actually make the salads.
13. An enameled Dutch oven you'll want to put in pride of place, so everyone will know about all the *serious cooking* you've been doing in this beauty.
14. An expandable drawer organizer so you can bring order to the chaos of your drawers, no matter what size they are.
15. An industrial-style rolling utility cart that you can use as a microwave cart, a kitchen island, or just extra storage — the cart is your oyster.
16. A nonstick cooling rack because we're rapidly approaching Holiday Cookie Season and there's nothing worse than a cookie with a dark bottom because it sat in the pan for too long.
17. An anti-fatigue kitchen mat so doing the dishes doesn't have to be quite so hard on your feet, knees or back (or all three). And it'll pull the whole room together to boot.
18. A gravy boat because if it's your first time hosting Thanksgiving this year, the last thing you want is to have a beautiful meal prepared and realize you don't have anything for the gravy.
19. A cast-iron skillet great for cooking both indoors and outdoors. If you keep up the seasoning it'll basically last forever, and the natural sheen it'll develop looks elegant and effortless. Plus, it only gets more beautiful with age — like you!
20. A stainless-steel trash can to neaten up your garbage area and make it look a little more presentable. Plus, the snug fitting top will hopefully keep the odors inside the can, where they belong.
21. A glass kettle that lights up different colors as it boils. It's like watching a little laser show as you make your afternoon beverage — worth it even without the improvement in your coffee and tea.
22. A rolling fridge caddy for a fridge that's as organized as one of those ones in the very satisfying TikToks. (Okay, probably not, but it's a start, yes?)
23. A set of nested measuring cups and spoons that are magnetic so you'll never lose one in a drawer. Plus, their chic gradient colorway will prevent them from looking dingy, even after years of use.
24. A food processor because it makes everything from making dough to grating carrots a million percent easier. Your arms will thank you.
25. A slow cooker that's programmable and transportable, so you can set it up to do just what you want, wherever you want.
26. A pair of kitchen shears to give your knives a run for their money — I wouldn't debone a chicken or cut herbs any other way.
27. A set of nonslip stainless mixing bowls that'll let you whip to your heart's content without worrying about your bowl sliding down (or off!) the counter.
28. A set of silicone pot holders with a lobster claw-esque design that's way easier to maneuver than a thick, traditional oven mitt.
29. A silicone baking mat that'll have you saying, "Parchment paper who?" as you slide your baked goods easily on to a plate.
30. A stoneware butter dish so you can keep a small amount of butter at the perfect spreadable temperature without worrying about it picking up any ambient dirt (or kitty footprints).
31. A Ninja blender that should get anything purée-able in your kitchen shaking — once you start blending with this beast, you won't be able to stop.
