Best Tumbler Ever

I recently purchased one of these matte tumblers and was quite honestly shocked at how amazing it is… in every possible way. I mean, it’s just a tumbler, or IS IT? The quality is exceptional, there are multiple size and style options—including clear lids—but here are my favorite features: (1) The straw hole is rubberized to keep things secure and avoid leaks, should you hit a bump in the road. (2) It comes with a straw lid (for cold beverages) AND a flip lid (for hot beverages) so you don’t need to buy two types of tumblers depending on what…

HyperChiller

Now let’s talk about making liquids cold. For those who prefer iced coffee but also need it IMMEDIATELY, this is insanely useful. The HyperChiller takes any beverage (wine, tea, juice, anything) and chills it in ONE MINUTE FLAT. The mechanism only uses regular water to chill your drinks, no weird chemicals or anything, and the entire thing is dishwasher safe. Anything that ensures there’s minimal time between me and my iced coffee is an essential appliance. Buy one for yourself and then add this to your list of great gift ideas, too.

Ember Mug (Two Sizes and Personalization Options!)

This coffee warmer will look familiar because I’ve sung its praises in the past, but the value of this mug as a home essential and AMAZING gift takes on a whole new meaning now that I have an actual toddler. This is the best gift to give to any parent in your life who is forever leaving coffee in random places to get cold while they tend to their offspring who couldn’t care less about Mommy’s coffee temperature. A few things to know: You can get the 10oz option in black or white for less than $100 here, but if…

Copper Smeg Kettle

Those who appreciate a metallic decor accent will be THRILLED to know that Smeg now makes its classic kettle in COPPER. I know, none of us expected our kettle to be the most stunning item in the kitchen but here we are. I have to keep her far away from the Vitamix, who gets jealous easily. But, also, if you’ve never owned an electric kettle, you’re in for a treat.

Safe Mandoline

So here’s the thing, I love beautifully chopped veggies, but I’m terrified of mandolines. If you too are SUPER uncomfortable with that whole exposed blade thing, check out this genius mandoline. Watch the video to see how effortless and safe this gadget makes meal prep. I also love it as a gift for the upcoming holiday season, because I guarantee you most people just have the standard mandoline lying around, and this is such an upgrade.

Pumpkin Waffle Maker

Um I’m sorry is this a mini waffle maker that makes me breakfast in PUMPKIN FORMATION? Sometimes it’s the little things you never know you needed but now literally cannot function without. I may not have a yard filled with ghosts and skeletons, but I’m very much here for a seasonally themed breakfast. *Adds maple syrup to grocery list.*

Apple Gadgetry

If you are indeed going to be baking with apples this fall, might I suggest a heavy-duty die cast magnesium alloy peeler, corer, and spiralizer? It makes short work of an annoying task, and will last you season after season. When apple season ends, you’ll find it useful with lots of other types of produce including tomatoes and potatoes. Also, things with hand cranks are just fun.
