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 felt letterboard to customize a welcome message to your guests or display what's on the menu for one of your epic dinner parties.
2. A WiFi sign so your guests don't have to keep asking you for your network name and password. The house is made of a dry-erase board, so whatever you write isn't permanent — perfect for those of us who change our passwords on the regular.
3. A mini fridge perfect for keeping cold drinks accessible to your guests without them needing to rummage through your real fridge. This little fridge measures 4.4 cubic feet and includes can organizers, adjustable shelves, and even a drawer at the bottom for things like lemons and limes. It's also suitable for outdoor use, so if you're blessed with good weather year round this is the beverage fridge for you!
4. And a countertop ice maker so you never have to drop everything to make a run to the corner store for bags of ice. This tiny but mighty machine makes nine ice cubes in six to eight minutes and comes with a handy basket and scoop for easy fetching.
5. A one gallon drink dispenser with stand for making one big batch of your favorite drink and having your guests help themselves. The stand lifts the jug up high enough to fit a glass under the spigot with minimal maneuvering.
6. Or a cocktail shaker set if you're more into customizing each cocktail for each guest. And if for whatever reason you need a little inspiration, this set comes with 20 cards of the most popular cocktail recipes.
7. A portable mini projector that uses LED lights to deliver 1080p full HD. Invite the gang over for a movie night and then impress them with your crystal clear projection of the latest batch of Hallmark romcoms.
8. And a popcorn popper so your watch party has the quintessential movie snack. It creates six quarts of popcorn in just three minutes.
9. A mini bar cart if you want a well stocked bar but are short on space. It has a rack under the top for storing six wine glasses and five wine bottles, and is also on casters for easy moving.
10. A charcuterie board set to keep guests occupied while you finish up cooking. We've all been there, you give yourself ample time to finish a recipe, but the meal still isn't ready by the time your dinner guests arrive. Have them wait it out while noshing on delicious cheese and crackers.
11. A pair of extra-long oven mitts so you never again burn your forearms when you're trying to pull something out of the oven.
12. A linen tablecloth that looks way more expensive than it is. The neutral tones mean it'll go with nearly any style of decor, but especially the popular farmhouse style.
13. A set of two handpainted oyster salt and pepper dishes to add a pinch of glam to your tablescape.
14. Some washable round placemats that'll take up less space on your table than traditional horizontally-shaped ones. And no worries if they get covered in foodstuff, just give 'em a quick rinse in the sink and then toss them in the wash.
15. And set of cloth napkins to elevate your at-home dining experience. These look so much nicer and are so much more environmentally friendly than single-use paper towels!
16. Some stemless wineglasses if you love to serve wine but hate when a glass gets knocked over. Sure, these can still tip over, but it's way less likely since there's no stem.
17. However, a red wine stain remover if someone (including, ahem, yourself) does make an oopsie and spill red wine all over your new white couch.
18. A classic wooden salad bowl that is simple enough to also hold fruits, chips, you name it! Everyone host needs a big wood bowl, you know?
19. And a pair of salad servers made of mango wood so your salads are ready for their inevitable instagram moment, because did a dinner party even happen if you don't put it on the 'gram?
20. An olive oil dispenser set that you can fill up and display on your countertop instead of that three liter jug you got from Costco a year ago.
21. A complete flatware set so all your silverware is consistent. It can be so annoying when you're rooting around your utensil drawer looking for an extra fork, so make sure that doesn't happen to you thanks to this set.
22. A Hamilton Beach stand mixer if you've been so inspired by The Great British Bake Off that your friends have nicknamed you Paul Hollywood. From mixing batters to kneading doughs, this thing has you covered.
23. Or a cordless KitchenAid electric hand mixer that can make everything from cookie dough to whipped cream, but without the bulk of a traditional mixer.
24. A linen crossback apron so you can cook without worrying about sauce splashes ruining your outfit.
25. A stainless-steel roasting pan if you want to roast big portions of meat or even whole birds. It comes with a rack for even air circulation and a lid to seal in those savory juices. Yum!
26. A three-tiered collapsible cooling rack so you can cool down dozens of baked goods without taking up much countertop space.
27. A handmade ribbed candle if you want something with a little more pizzazz than your normal taper candles. The colors available are gorgeous and so trendy, and reviewers remark that they look even more beautiful in person.
28. A rechargeable electric lighter so you can light all your candles with minimal effort, no box of single-use matches required. This lighter can be used 500 times on a single charge and can be charged 500 times before it needs to be replaced, so basically a lifetime.

Heather, a BuzzFeed Shopping team member, loves this. Here's what she has to say: "I'm obsessed with candles, so it was a no-brainer for my husband to gift me this surprisingly super-fun gadget for Christmas. It's really simple to use and charge, and it really works! If you're someone who gets a thrill from RAW POWER this is sort of the product for you. No, it's not a super-intense gadget, relax, pyromaniacs, but it does buzz and produce a burst of electricity that I personally find exciting. AND I'll never have to buy another lighter again! Stop burning your fingers on matches and pick up one of these bad boys."
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four colors).
29. A pie/cake server with serrated sides so that slicing a piece is easy peasy, regardless of how many glasses of wine you've consumed.
30. A cube of Table Topics in case the conversation ever gets stale or too heated. Listen, it's been a tough couple of years. Keep the dinner table talk light with these topic suggestions.
31. A wine decanter to make sure your wine tastes perfect in the most beautiful way possible. Is it a decenter or is it a piece of art? How about both?!
32. An electric wine bottle opener so you don't have to struggle to open a bottle. You can open 40 bottles on a single charge, which will come in handy when your in-laws come to visit for two weeks during the holiday break.
33. And a cushy kitchen mat so your legs are supported when you're tired but still need to clean that one last dish.
