1. A veggie chopper that can chop, spiralize, dice, and slice produce within seconds. You put half of an apple, potato, onion, etc. on it, and with one push it'll work its magic and push all the chopped pieces into a container underneath. Perfect for those of us who need/like to whip up a big meal for a big crowd as quickly as possible!
Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets.
Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action.
Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in three colors).
2. A rechargeable mini USB fridge deodorizer so lingering and questionable smells in your refrigerator don't hit your guests in the face when they open your fridge to see whatcha got in there. Unlike charcoal or baking soda, this air purifier doesn't just absorb smells; it actively purifies and circulates the air. Oh, and a single charge will last 30 days!

Promising review: "To be honest, I didn't think this would actually do a whole lot. I saw a TikTok where someone put this in their fridge, and I ended up buying it to put inside my small sports car. There was a noticeable difference in my car after leaving it in overnight! Now I keep it in the fridge, and typically the fridge just smells like the giant tub of kimchi we always have, but this little thing actually helps eliminate a lot of the smells. It's so little and cute I love it!" —Sofina
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in two styles).
3. An automatic, odor-absorbing, sensor-activated trash can made of fingerprint-proof stainless steel. Because when you're hosting, the last thing you want to worry about is the garbage.
4. A handheld heated bag sealer so you can prolong the life of your favorite bagged snacks. This is especially a good get if you buy the jumbo bags of chips and want to make sure they stay fresh once you open them.
It also comes with a small bag cutter at the bottom for easy access when it comes time to reopen!
Promising review: "It’s very cute and does a good job sealing chip and other plastic bags. I found it helpful to start in the middle to one outer edge then turn bag over and repeat. I also like that I can stick it on the fridge door for easy access." —Babs075
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in four colors).
5. An amazing cheese grater to grate an entire block of cheese in under a minute. It can grate vegetables and nuts, too!
6. A handheld veggie spiralizer if you're trying to incorporate more produce into your dinner parties and want a fun way to do it. With just a few twists, an ordinary carrot, cucumber, zucchini, squash, or potato can be turned into veggie spaghetti and more.
7. A Philips compact pasta maker for anyone who loves a super fresh plate of pasta and wants to make a batch for a group of friends. It automatically kneads and extrudes up to three servings of fresh pasta in just 18 minutes, and can make spaghetti, penne or fettuccini. It even comes with a recipe book for inspiration.
You can buy an additional set of discs to make angel hair, pappardelle, tagliatelle, and lasagna.

Promising review: "I was just as skeptical as you are. I, too, have been doing the old school — make the dough, roll it out, run it through a pasta machine, etc. — method. It's a production, all for AMAZING pasta. With this, you put the ingredients in, push a button, and watch for AMAZING pasta to be extruded. I had hoped I'd be able to multitask a bit more, but it extrudes so fast there isn't much time for other tasks between cutting it. But I think that seems reasonable. The other thing to consider is that you have to be VERY exact with the measurements of the ingredients. I've found weighing them works best. The recipes in the included book work great. Don't use other pasta recipes not developed for this machine unless you are up for some experimentation. The dough will be drier than the traditional method and has to be to feed through the auger and extrude properly. So it also does take a bit longer to cook than traditional fresh pasta, but when it's done it's that same amazing taste and texture!" —Conversio
Get it from Amazon for $179.95+ (available in black or white).
8. A rechargeable, waterproof cooler light if your favorite place to hold dinner parties is outside. Now your guests will know exactly which bevvies are which once the sun sets.
Promising review: "So this thing is brilliant (literal and figurative for those of you keeping track). It's a great idea for a party or a picnic. At a more formal gathering, in a wine bucket or other ice bucket its amazing. Lots of great light for access or pouring but more importantly it looks amazing. Easily charged, very user friendly. We own four!" —FlexableFlyer
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
9. A watermelon cutter, because summer is here and that means it's melon season, baby! Instead of spending what feels like an eternity cutting up a single watermelon, use this tool to make the whole process easy and fast. It comes with a little scooper, too, for getting into all those nooks and crannies that a knife can't.
Promising review: "This tool is so handy!! I hate cutting watermelon, and this is so fast and easy to use and easy to wash. I cut a watermelon in less than five minutes. It cuts yellow watermelon, too!!! The included baller is great for the small leftover, hard-to-reach places." —Andrea Draine
Get it from Amazon for $12.37.
10. A life-changing Oxo Tot Grape Cutter so that you can cut down the time it takes to prep grapes for eating. It also works with cherry tomatoes, olives, and other tiny, circular produce.
Watch a mom quartering grapes in a flash with this tool on TikTok.
Oh, and it's not just for grapes! It's also perfect for cherry tomatoes, berries, olives, and many reviewers say it works on a variety of fruits!
Promising review: "When we went to search Amazon for 'grape cutters,' I was worried that we may have hit rock bottom. It doesn't get more simple than slicing a freaking grape. I mean it's not difficult, doesn't take an enormous amount of time, and isn't even really that inconvenient (at least no more than cutting any other toddler food)...yet, my wife and I found ourselves dreading the process every time our daughter wanted a handful of grapes. We bought this little gadget with low expectations and fully anticipated using it two times before throwing it in our kitchen drawer where it would inevitably sit for a year before we threw it away. Boy were we wrong. It only took one use before we realized that what we thought would be another useless novelty, was actually a parent's HOLY GRAIL of food preparation. No joke, I literally used it the other day to cut THREE grapes for MYSELF, just for the enjoyment. I only take time to write reviews on products that I feel are truly worth my time to endorse, and this little gadget was more than worthy. If your little one enjoys eating grapes, do yourself the unimaginable pleasure of buying this...you won't regret it." —Michael

11. An easy-to-use blender that can chop, mix, blend, whip, grind, and more. And because of its tiny size, it's the perfect fit for single servings like a smoothie or cup of salsa.
12. Or an aesthetically pleasing blender that lets you blend at home and then take your smoothie to go — there's even a carrying case and a drinking lid! Next time you host a picnic, make a small batch of your favorite fruity concoction and watch your guests be truly amazed when you whip out smoothies for all.
13. A digital food thermometer so foods (especially meats) are at or above the exact temperature they need to be to be fully cooked. Because no one wants to spend two hours preparing dinner, only to slice open the finished product and see that it's not cooked to your liking.
14. An easy-to-use ice cream scoop with a curved shape so you can have a perfect sphere of ice cream every time. Pro tip: Run this under hot water if your tub of ice cream is extra firm. The hotness from the scooper will soften it up and make it more scoop-able.
Promising review: "I think I just found the best ice cream scoop ever! I was very surprised when I took it out of the box because it has some weight to it, so I knew right away that it would not break easily. It scoops ice cream beautifully and is dishwasher safe. I am so glad TikTok made me buy this!" —Ashley
Get it from Amazon for $11.97+ (available in 13 colors and a two-pack).
15. A pineapple corer if you love to serve slices of pineapple but don't love how difficult it is to cut one up. It leaves the rind intact, so you can use it to serve the cut up chunks or even a fun beverage.

Promising review: "A great tool to get all the good pineapple without the muss of a machete. Our grandkids loved watching Gramma do the job. Fresh pineapple is so much better than store cut-up fruit. Plus it leaves an empty pineapple to serve cut up fruit or even fruity adult beverages. Don't let the plastic parts fool you. So far it is sturdy. Go have fun!" —Steven Schwartz
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
16. A rapid egg cooker that'll cook up to six eggs any way your guests want their breakfast prepared. Poached? You got it. Hard-boiled? Done. It can even make omelets. Simply select your number of eggs and set the timer. When it's done it'll automatically shut off.
17. A Yonanas fruit soft-serve maker so you can make what seems like ice cream or sorbet right in your own kitchen, no dairy required. It comes with a book of 36 recipes so you never run out of ideas.
Promising review: "I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best tasting fruit ice cream ever. It’s easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." —DMCKAY
Get it from Amazon for $39.50+ (available in six colors).
18. A kitchen scale that'll convert between units of measurement (grams, pounds, ounces, etc.), so you won't mix up ingredient amounts ever again. When you're hosting — especially if you're cooking while guests are lingering in the kitchen — the last thing you want to be doing is math conversions.
19. A garlic chopper, because why spend your precious time mincing or chopping garlic by hand when you can instead be entertaining your guests? Put up to five regular-size cloves in it and then use your hand to roll this thing on any smooth surface, and it chops it all up in a matter of seconds. If you want to mince it, you keep rolling for maybe 10 more seconds. It's seriously the best!
20. An under-cabinet lid opener so you never struggle to open a jar again, because who needs that kind of drama when you're hosting a get-together. And because it mounts to the underside of your cabinet, it'll be out of sight and out of mind when you don't need it.
Promising review: "This thing is amazing. Saw it on TikTok, haha! I struggle to open things and this uses minimal effort. You wouldn't know it's under my cabinet." —Carrie Comer
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

21. Or an easy jar opener if you prefer to use a hand can opener. With this tool, struggling to open a can while holding a conversation with a dinner guest will be a thing of the past.
Hand wash when needed.
Promising review: "I have a similar adjustable jar opener from probably 40+ years ago and it finally wore out at the point I needed most. This new one works great! I had given up finding another jar opener that helps me so much with my arthritis. It is the only one I have found that does not expect me to twist with my painful hand/wrist." —Lorraine Redrock
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
22. And super tiny but mighty wine aerator pourer that'll make sure your wine is ready to go, straight from the bottle. Just pop this onto the opening of your bottle and it'll aerate your wine to perfection instantly.
Promising review: "Fantastic product! Makes red wine more enjoyable, as the 'smoky' flavors tend to taste soapy to me. (I can't be the only one here...) This was gorgeously packaged and came in two pieces to 'assemble,' if you can even call it that. The wine stopper is leak free and the top keeps it from dripping red wine down the bottle onto your easily stainable white countertops. Wonderful product that I'll easily be gifting to friends." —Melissa
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
