(Then again, that might just be my head playing it up knowing it's a first, who knows, who cares.)

A set of ceramic cut-out soy sauce bowls that reveal little figures when you finish soaking up the soy sauce in them, like they're cheering you on for your delicious choices.

A pair of glowing lightsaber chopsticks to bring balance to The Force *and* to your sushi. As you can see from the above GIF, I bought these for myself, and I love them to pieces. TBH, I use them as decor every bit as much as I use them to eat. Sometimes I just keep them in my work area to light them up during the day to feel fancy. They toggle back and forth between a bunch of different colors, like red, blue, yellow, purple, and multicolor, so you can either make them match *or* have a red and blue one together and bring ~balance~ to the Force. Get it from Amazon for $11.97. 8. A"Gracula" garlic crusher, because you know what? If a 108-year-old vampire lurking moodily in the trees in the Pacific Northwest isn't going to fall in love with you and grant you immortality, one might as well make your life in the kitchen a little easier. Promising review: "I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I've minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It's a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it, but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway, so it's not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!" — Barbie Get it from Amazon for $18.99. 9. A mushroom growing kit that grows right there in the packaging, so you can add some sweet, sweet umami flavors to all your favorite dishes by sautéing, roasting, or air frying them up. Back To The Roots is a California-based small business founded by two college friends that specializes in indoor gardening kits with a mission to reconnect families to food. Check out a TikTok of the mushroom kit in action. Promising review:"This product has been so much fun to watch! I followed the directions, exactly as written, and the mushrooms began growing within 3–4 days. I will say that I did soak them for close to 10 hours before putting them back in the box to grow and I believe this helped a ton. I also kept the box inside by a window with the blinds closed in order for them to get indirect sunlight. The mushrooms grew tremendously for almost a week before they started to shrink so I clipped them to cook with and they were DELICIOUS! This was such a fun product and process to watch." — Steph A Get it from Amazon for $12.99+. 10. A set of Goldfish fridge magnets — aka "Holdfish" — to instantly assert the superiority of this cracker to anyone who enters your home and dares to think they can suggest a snack food that doesn't smile back.

A bunch of teensy macaron boxes for a delightful upgrade to many things in your life, whether it's storing pills or trinkets or just staring at them looking all fancy and delicious on your bedside table. Amazon Promising review:"Just received these cute little boxes and am in love with them. Very thick and sturdy plastic but easy enough to open. These will work perfectly for filling solid perfumes and giving out as stocking stuffer gifts as I don't have to worry about it being a snug fit/lid falling off. I imagine these would also be great for pretend food for kids' playsets or for a kid's trinket box. Overall, I love them, love their feel, love the colors, and am very happy." — Mary Get a set of six from Amazon for $6.99. 14. A rapid-heating mini pumpkin waffle maker that already has a lot of audacity for cooking up waffles this cute, let alone doing it in mere *minutes*.

Amazon, Promising review:"This thing is incredible. I just mix up a batch of waffle batter and keep it in the fridge and in the morning, I plug this in while pouring my coffee. It reaches temp in about a minute, and then I'll pour in the batter and about the waffle is done about another minute later." — Rick Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 21 styles). 15. Plus a mini skull cake pan reviewers are so obsessed with that they are unrepentantly using it for treats all year long.

Check out a TikTok of the skull pan in action. Promising review: "This is a great pan. It's made out of cast aluminum and is surprisingly heavy but very easy to use. Our muffins turned out great and popped right out, and the pan is very easy to clean. It's oven-safe up to 400 degrees. You do have to be careful not to scratch the nonstick surface." — LaffingKat Get it from Amazon for $24.36. 16. A pickle wine stopper perfect for anyone who is both a wine-o AND a brine-o, letting you preserve your favorite pinots in ~style~. Promising review: "I bought this pickle wine stopper for my nephew and his partner. It keeps air out of the bottle with a snug fit and it cleans up easily after use. The fact that they love 'pickle' anything is an added bonus!" — Cynthia Get it from Amazon for $12.56+ (available in four other styles). 17. A small duck-themed salad bowl so there's no such thing as a Sad Lunch Desk Salad ever again — now at least you have *one* coworker who will always quack you up mid-meal.

PASTA!!!!!, as evidenced by this half decorative, half functional snack. Amazon Promising review: "This is a great spoon rest, but an even greater conversation piece for anyone who walks by the stove. 'Is that a giant ravioli on your stove?' 'OMG, no, it's just my adorable spoon rest!' Jealousy ensues. You get the idea. Also, it keeps the stove clean(er), and everything washes off of the spoon rest quite easily." — Melissa McMahon Get it from Amazon for $15.49. 19. Nuts 'N More's Chocolate Maple Pretzel Peanut Butter Spread, which just put so many beautiful words in such a small space that I am salivating just TYPING them.

A snap-on pasta strainer to free your pasta from its hot juices straight from the pot, and spare you storage space to boot (is it just me, or are colanders always in the business of being exactly in the way of whatever it is you need?). Psst — these are also a game-changer for washing your fruit, too! Amazon Kitchen Gizmos is a small business that specializes in kitchen accessories. Promising review:"I've owned this for about six months, and I couldn't imagine cooking without it. I hate strainers. They are bulky and fill up the dishwasher, I'm lazy, whatever. This strainer is a lifesaver. Clip it on your pan, strain, and voila! And it is so easy to clean. A little hot water and it's good to go for the next round. I highly recommend this gadget, it will retire your current strainer." — Viola Evens Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in six colors). 21. A set of deep set heart-shaped salad plates because sometimes the way to your heart is through a BIG OL' Caesar salad loaded with whatever flavor of crouton Trader Joe's came up with this week.

Obsessed with them!" — christina lowie Get a set of two from Amazon for $21.98 (available in three sizes). 22.

A bag of viral mango peeling candy you may have seen some variation of if you're an avid member of CandyTok. These gummies peel like real fruit, so you can eat it "as is" or have an ~immersive~ candy experience unwrapping it first. Promising review: "THE HYPE IS REAL. Yes, these are from TikTok. So so so good. I'm somewhat of a fruit snack connoisseur, and I can tell you these are my favorites. They taste like real mangoes and don't have that super artificial fruit taste lingering in the back. Peeling them is also pretty fun, but they're just as good eating them whole." — D. Ferguson Get a pack of three from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in other fruit varieties and sizes). 25.

People swear by it for everything from a mini body pillow to lumbar support to the ultimate "nap on the couch" pillow. Promising review: "I bought this delicious bread morsel to cheer up a friend. It was perfect, she really 'kneaded' it. She uses it for cuddling and sleeping. This yummy bread-cake doesn't feel 'crumby' at all, it's soft. It was the yeast I could do. If your friend loves bread, and she's going through a tough time you 'butter' get this for them." — Nora Lee Majors Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three sizes). 27. A bicycle-shaped pizza cutter with *two* blades so you can do a ~wheely~ thorough job dividing up your slices (sorry).

Promising review:"This is my best buy of the month, and best knife buy of the year. Yeah, I've had sharper, better-quality knives in the past, but for hundreds of dollars more. For basic kitchen use, this is the set to buy. I like that they're colorful, because I've already been able to familiarize myself with which knife is which color and what I need to use them for. I haven't had to sharpen them yet and I've been using them pretty steadily for about a month. The blade cases they come with are extremely handy. I like that I don't have to use a knife block. These fit nicely in my drawer." — GWP Get a set of six knives with covers from Amazon for $19.99. 29.

Get a set of eight from Amazon for $18.59. 30. A pound of cereal marshmallows because truly I think we're all hard-pressed to think of a scenario that *doesn't* warrant having an emergency bag of these to whip out for the occasion.

I received several compliments. The cupcakes popped right out of the cups. This brand was perfect! I'm truly impressed." — Denise Mendez Get a set of six from Amazon for $8.99 (available in white and pink, plus sets of 12, 24 and 48). 35.

Parents especially love this so kids can safely de-pit their own snacks! Amazon, Talisman Designs is a small business that specializes in quirky, functional home products. Promising review:"Hands down, one of the coolest and cutest kitchen gadgets I own. I bought this pitter because my father is a HUGE bing cherry fan. When cherry season is in, you can guarantee he'll be sitting in his recliner with a bowl full of cherries. He normally eats cherries and pits them in his mouth, but in his older age, I worried about him cracking a tooth or choking on the pit. So I bought this pitter and it was an INSTANT hit! He loved how cute it was and the pitter does an amazing job. Easy to use, not a ton of force needed, and then the pits are in one place and easy to throw away!" — cocade27 Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 36.
