1. The Containers That Keep Your Avocados Fresh
Nothing wastes money like watching your avocados turn brown in the fridge โ but these containers can help. Not only do they keep your avocados fresh (AKA saving you money), but theyโll also take up way less space in your fridge than plastic containers. Oh, and did I mention how theyโre also less wasteful than plastic wrap?
2. A Gadget That Get Breakfast Made Fast
When youโre in a rush and donโt have time to sit down for breakfast, youโll be glad you grabbed this egg cooker.

3. These Chopsticks Are Made For Beginners
Letโs be honest: using chopsticks isnโt easy. Thatโs why this pair is connected together at the tip, making it easier to pinch them together โ especially if youโre a beginner. And once youโve finally given up, thereโs a back-up fork built-into the top.
4. A Travel Mug That Keeps Drinks Hot For Hours
You can go ahead and keep using your crappy plastic mug in the mornings, but why not upgrade to this insulated one instead? For less than $25, itโll keep hot drinks warm for up to seven hours, whereas cold beverages stay icy for up to 18. And since itโs made from stainless steel, go ahead and drop it a few times โ it (probably) wonโt break.
5. This Container That Keeps Tortillas Toasty
Granted, this tortilla warmer isnโt going to change your life โ but itโll definitely take your Tuesday taco night to the next level. Imagine how impressed your dinner guests will be as they pull soft, warm tortillas out of it. And if you donโt like tacos? It also works great with pita, naan, pancakes, rice, beans โ the list goes on.
6. An Ice Cream Scoop Thatโs Easier To Use
Have trouble scooping out ice cream? Throw out that cheap olโ scoop in favor of this heavy-duty one. It digs deep into your carton, pulling out ice cream in a chunk thatโll fit perfectly into cones. And since itโs made from stainless steel, donโt even think about it rusting.
7. This Knife Makes It Easier To Spread Butter
Ever try to spread cold butter onto bread? Simply put, it typically does not go well โ unless youโre using this special butter knife. With slots running along the blade, it curls your butter up so that itโs easier to spread them, even when cold. Plus, reviewers found that it works even better if you run it under warm water beforehand.
8. An Air Fryer For Less Than $60
If you donโt own an air fryer yet, nowโs your chance to grab this one for less than $60. Why buy an air fryer in the first place? For starters, it uses a fraction of the oil that regular deep fryers use, which equates to lighter food, and less mess. And for two, this model in particular takes up little space on your counters, yet can still cook enough food for an entire family.
9. The Containers That Help Keep Your Greens Fresh
I was a little skeptical about how well these produce savers would work โ until I tried them out.

Plus, the containers (and built-in filter) are completely BPA-free.
10. The Ice Cube Trays That Wonโt Spill
Not only do these ice cube trays come with lids to keep your freezer safe from spills, but theyโre also made from flexible silicone. That means you can bend and twist them however you like in order to pop your cubes out โ but no matter how rough you are, they wonโt crack. Your old-school plastic trays ainโt got nothing on these.
11. This Sprayer Thatโs Perfect For Oil
You donโt have to drown your foods in oil โ just use this sprayer to give them a light misting. Itโll also work with soy sauce, water, vinegar, or practically any type of cooking liquid. Plus, itโs made with real, high-quality glass instead of cheap plastic.

13. The Lids That Stretch To Fit Your Containers
Admit it: youโve got a drawer thatโs overflowing with mismatched plasticware lids. I used to have one too โ until I downsized to these silicone lids. They stretch to fit containers of nearly any shape or size, and you can even use them to save halved fruit for later.
14. A Dish That Can Extend The Life Of Your Soap
Whereas regular dishes will leave your bars of soap sitting in a sudsy mess, this one has a slatted design that helps it dry quickly. In turn, your bars of soap will last longer โ and I like that itโs even made from real wood. Not plastic.
15. These Kid-Friendly Pouches For Squeezable Snacks
If I said kids are messy, itโd be a total understatement โ but these squeezable pouches are an easy way to keep them fed with minimal spillage. The double-zippered bottom allows for easy filling, while the leakproof top means your kids can drop them without any splatter. Each order comes with 10 pouches in two sizes.
16. A Box Thatโll Helps Your Bread Stay Fresh
The best part about this bread box isnโt even that it keeps your bread fresh โ itโs that the bamboo top doubles as a cutting board you can use to slice up your loaves. โNot only is it large enough for two full loaves of bread, but more can be added,โ wrote one reviewer. โCurrently, I have hamburger and hot dog buns in there with two half loaves of bread and some small tortillas.โ
17. This Kitchen Mat That Helps Prevent Sore Legs
If youโve ever gotten stuck standing at your counters doing prepwork for longer than expected, you know how sore your legs can get.

And since itโs also waterproof, go ahead and spill whatever you want โ itโll come out just fine.
18. A Butter Crock Thatโs As Stylish As It Is Useful
Youโve gotta admit that this butter crock looks good in the photo, so just imagine how stylish itโll look sitting out on your countertop. The airtight lid preserves your butterโs rich flavor โ and itโs even made from high-quality ceramic, not plastic.
19. This Organizer For All Those Mismatched Lids
If you didnโt decide to scoop up those stretchable lids, you might as well grab this organizer for all those mismatched lids. Itโs designed to fit tops up to nine inches, and the dividers are even adjustable โ just in case one of your lids is thicker than others. Plus, itโs short enough to fit into cabinets, and drawers.
20. A Sink Caddy With Room For All Sorts Of Scrubbers
Most sink caddies only have space for one or two scrubbers โ but not this one. Not only is there space for at least two sponges, but thereโs also a designated spot for any scrubbers with handles. Plus, itโs made from rust-resistant stainless steel, so donโt even worry about it getting wet.

Itโll also change texture depending on its temperature, making it great for cleaning everything from tough rust to softer grime.
23. These Produce Bags You Can Use Over And Over
Those plastic bags they give you at the grocery store? Not the best for the environment. These mesh ones, on the other hand, are completely reusable โ and the tags even tell you their tare weight. Each one eliminates up to 1,000 plastic bags over its lifetime, and reviewers raved about how each order comes with a variety of sizes.
24. A Set Of Knives Plated With Sharp Titanium
A quality set of knives can set you back a pretty penny โ so grab these ones while theyโre still available for less than $20. Unlike cheaper versions, theyโre made from tough stainless steel thatโs been plated with sharp titanium, making them scratch-resistant. Plus, the handles are ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in both hands.
25. The Reusable Cupcake Moulds That Come In Fun Shapes
The next time youโre stuck baking cupcakes for some event, use these moulds that come in a ton of fun shapes.

27. The Hand Mixer That Powers Through Thick Dough
If Iโm being honest? I donโt have the upper body strength to stir up dough, let alone whip egg whites into a foam. Instead, Iโve got this hand mixer.

Simply adjust the speed from one to five, and itโll do all the work for you.
28. If You Own Cast Iron, You Need This Chainmail
If you own a cast iron skillet, you probably already know that washing it with soap and water will ruin the seasoning.

So go ahead and get it wet, because itโll be good for years to come.
29. This Egg Cooker Made For The Microwave
One time I tried microwaving an egg on high for a few seconds โ it did not end well. This egg cooker, however, is specifically made for making eggs in the microwave, and itโs able to do it in just one minute or less. Itโs also non-stick, which means your eggs easily slide out once done.
