The happiest place on Earth isn't Disneyland, it's Target—at least it is for me. For years, the combination of white floors and red aisles has triggered a sort of Pavlovian effect on my serotonin levels. Knowing that I can get pretty much anything I need in one convenient place makes me happy, and when summer rolls around, that's when I'll be most in need of the essentials for effortlessly entertaining guests.
Luckily for us, Target just launched their newest line of summer-friendly kitchen gadgets, and here are eight I can't wait to buy.

I'm a big fan of nesting mixing bowls for their versatility and practicality, and this bowl has officially elevated this entire product category.
