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 three-piece pub set that is compact and perfect for kitchen eating. Why should only celebs get to watch the chef cook from a close-but-safe distance? Invite family and friends to behold your fancy cooking skills with court side (er, stove side?) seats.
2.A gold-tone rolling bar cart because nothing says Gilded Age Fancy like offering someone “a drink from the cart.” You’ll feel like the Gilmore Girls at Friday night dinners everyday of the week with this rolled in your kitchen.
3.A steel nonstick wok reviewers say is worth every penny and too pretty to put in a cabinet.
4.A Zevo flying insect trap because you know can make your kitchen feel brand new overnight? NO MORE ANNOYING BUGS. I’ve had one of these in my kitchen for years because — as you can see — fruit flies are the bane of my existence. Super non-gross to change out the sticky pad, and the little buggers are drawn in by the light rather than me having to worry about spraying pesticide in the same place where I make my food.

Promising review: “This is brilliant! I have a fruit fly infestation that I’ve been battling for a month, and NOTHING seemed able to kill them. I tried everything: apple cider vinegar, fly traps, etc. Only the Zevo fly spray seemed to kill them on contact, so I took a chance on the fly traps. Best move I’ve made! It caught so many flies after ONE night! Amazing! I look forward to this infestation ending soon!” —mariposa34221
Price: $39.34 for a two-pack
5.A wood kitchen pantry that is chic and storage friendly. Put extra ingredients, tableware, or folded kitchen linens behind the cute sliding barn doors and banish clutter from your precious countertop space.
6.A gorgeous air fryer whose sleek and easily navigable look will appeal hardcore to anyone who got their start in Easy Bake Ovens.
7.A 6-quart Instant Pot Duo that I can personally attest is worth the cash. We got rid of our rice maker because this was so much easier to use and saved cabinet space!
8.A Cuisinart food processor that makes it easier for you to chop and dice and basically stores itself when you’re through! (Reviewers report that the attachments can all fit in the bowl for storage.)
Walmart
Promising review: “I have wanted a full size food processor for quite some time. My husband surprised me with this new Cuisinart for Christmas. I love it! I no longer have to mix things in two parts, it all fits in one bowl. I appreciate how the blade, slicer and shredder attachments fit into the bowl for storage. I love using this food processor.” —Michael119
Price: $199.95 (originally $249.95)
9.A countertop herb garden because you deserve the freshest ingredients, and what’s fresher than “I just plucked this myself from my kitchen counter?”
10.An under-sink water filter to help get rid of ick toxins from the water you drink and use for cooking. (Psst: Try this home water quality test kit before and after installation to see the difference!)
11.An 18-piece food storage container set that I personally endorse because there are few things I can stand less than stained food storage that forever looks like it has spaghetti sauce in it. (Had these for literal YEARS and they’ve not stained once.)
Walmart, Ashley Schumacher/BuzzFeed
Set contains nine bases and nine lids, for a total of 18 pieces.
Promising review: “I got caught on the organizing train, as many. That might be the reason why some of these containers are hard to find or prices went up. Walmart has a great variety and awesome prices. These containers are awesome, easy to wash, nonspilling, and beautiful to look at. Plus, they also make my pantry and refrigerator look so much better than before!” —Maria
Price: $32.98
12.A new pull-down kitchen faucet with a pot filler so you can expedite the time between you pre-pasta and the moment when you are sitting on the couch with your pasta. And nothing says “my kitchen looks different in a good way” than new sink fixtures.
13.A nine-piece pantry and fridge storage bin set to help you revitalize the look of your fridge and make all your produce feel new again. (Not guaranteed to un-brown your bananas, unfortunately, but might save it from happening again in the future!)
14.An electric tea kettle that you can use for making a pot of tea or for speeding up your boiling time for cooking on the stove top. (This is my favorite cooking hack. Use it wisely.)
15.An Ironwood Norwegian Saddle Tray that is just as fancy- looking as it sounds. If you were thinking about making breakfast in bed for a loved one, this tray would like to come along, please.
Walmart
Promising review: “Beautiful wood and solid craftsmanship! I rubbed a little mineral oil into it after it arrived, and it looks like it could have cost twice as much.” —Christopher
Price: $47.99
16.A tabletop fan because you might have 99 kitchen problems, but feeling too hot next to the oven or stove shouldn’t be one of them.
17.A wine display cabinet to make it easy for you (and particularly beloved guests) to peruse your collection and choose a bottle to go with the meal.
18.A beautiful Lodge cast-iron Dutch oven because you love to make soups and stews and this cooking essential will help you whip up delicious meals without using lots of pots and pans.
19.A personal blender set that *should* be splurge-worthy (because look at all the stuff you get in this set!!) but is actually a mini splurge that won’t break the bank.
Walmart
This blender comes with one blending blade for nutritious smoothies, creamy sauces, and zesty salsas, one grinding blade to grind fresh ground coffee and spices, one 13.5-oz blending cup, one 16-oz to-go travel cup with handle, one six-ounce grinding cup, one No Drippy Sippy flexible straw and twist off lid, two lip rings makes drinking from the cups comfortable, one shaker lid, and two storage lids that convert the cups into blend-and-store containers.
Promising review: “I loved the travel mug that came with the beautiful rocket blender. What is it not to like about this blender small sleek easy to clean in several pieces to help with every day life? In my daily routine convenience is a big thing being able to do something quickly without worrying about such a big mess to clean up afterwards. This blend it allowed me to make my smoothies with ease and help me stick to my healthy eating. To top it off I’m in an apartment so space is limited. This takes up minimum space small but yet powerful at the same time. Don’t walk, but run and get yourself one! —Coffeemom17
Price: $29.96 (available in six colors)
20.An enameled cast-iron chicken fryer made ~especially~ for frying large portions of chicken or fish. You know you’re a dedicated chef when you can say, “Yeah, this is my special chicken fryer.” (But it can also be used for any recipe that needs a tall-sided pan, of course!)
21.A steel cart with a cutting board top so whether you’re sautéing or grilling, this cart can roll along with you for all your chopping and storing needs.
22.A high-end waffle maker, because you shouldn’t have to wait until you’re at a hotel’s continental breakfast to have fresh, scrumptious waffles.
walmart, Walmart
Promising review: “I wanted a Belgian waffle maker that was compact. This makes four nice-sized waffles from one recipe of waffle mix and perfect for two people. Apart from the darkness setting, the ready signal is essential. Cleanup is a snap — wipe nonstick plates and you are done!” —Heather
Price: $99.95
23.A stunning cake stand that is 100% going to turn into a kindly old baker if your household objects are enchanted by a witch á la Beauty and the Beast. (It even has a rosebud top!)
Walmart
Price: $104.17
24.A high-tech meat thermometer so that you can get the perfect temp for meats. (Your guests will be so impressed when your steak comes out so well without 100 little stabby stabs in it from obsessively checking the color.)
25.A pantry essential set that will have you well on your way to perfect (and delightfully floral!) cooking and baking in no time. Bonus that every single one of the 25 (!!!) pieces is cute enough to leave out on the counter ~on purpose~.
26.A nautical themed whiskey decanter with glasses, because do any of us ever really escape our sea shanty phase? I think not. And think of how sophisticated this would look on top of your rolling bar cart!
Walmart
Promising review: “This product is awesome. I purchased this item for my husband’s birthday and he loves it.” —Niecy
Price: $56.99
27.A rechargeable spice mill because this is the 21st century and why are we still grinding spices by hand, again?
28.An extra large cutting board that has grooves to catch juices, grips to stabilize while chopping, and is made of thick, scratch-resistant bamboo. Basically this is the cutting board to end all other cutting boards.
