A daisy egg yolk separator so you can no longer wing it post-crack — because raise your hand if you’ve ever bitten into a homemade macaron to realize the additional crunch was…an egg shell that made its way into the batter. Just get this.


amazon.com

Promising review: “This is a terrific little tool and it works perfectly. I place it over a short drinking glass and crack an egg right into it. The white of the egg tends to hand down, but with a couple of shakes it plops neatly into the glass.” —D. Rachlin

Get it from Amazon for $12.99.

An eyeshadow palette inspired by the one, the only — Baby Yoda. While this has the extreme kitsch factor, one should note that the shades are *actually* good! Think matte to metallic olive greens and neutral tones, all super blendable and pigmented. The Force is truly strong.

A watering funnel to make you feel old because plant funnels at 26 > beer funnels at 26. The amount of water that has pooled on my floor rather than into the roots of my ZZ… ridiculous, quite frankly! This is effective, takes up no extra space, and doesn’t look like an eyesore.

A three-tiered tabletop fountain for a more zen at-home workspace. A warm glow makes for a cozy environment, plus this mimics the ~tranquility~ that is the sound of flowing water — the stress that is an email ping will now be replaced by the sounds of nature instead. Huzzah.

amazon.com

Promising review: “I’ve tried several fountains so far. This one is awesome, the pump is quiet, as is the water, it simply provides a really nice environmental impact on my workspace. I run it up to eight hours in a day, use distilled water only and clean it periodically, and it’s running just like new after several weeks. Not all of the fountains that I’ve tried work quite so well, I’m impressed and happy with this purchase.” —I’m Rod, that’s all

A concrete vase that can take those $10 bodega roses and make them look like expensive florals you’d see in a Kardashian living room.

Promising review: “This is one of the softest blankets I have ever felt! I almost wanted it for myself. I bought this for my adopted rescue doggie from Taiwan. I slept with it for the three nights before she arrived in the U.S. to get my scent on it. When I gave it to her the first night I had her, she loved it. It is now her blanket and anywhere I put it, she will sleep. It is great quality and super soft! It’s not too hot too, so I use it as her crate blanket. Love it! I’m thinking of getting a second one.” —ktmert

A unique cast-iron wall hook for hanging everything from coats and purses to their favorite pieces of jewelry. One reviewer even installed this in a small bathroom to make the most of wall space, using this to hang up plush towels!


Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: “We remodeled our small bathroom and I was looking for some unconventional towel hooks. I’m glad we bought it because it’s a beautiful piece, and we are using it for large bath towels as well as hand towels and wash cloths. There are just four antlers that extend as hooks, but they are sturdy. We got the white one and it’s rich-looking, with some burnished black showing through. I’m thinking about where I could use another one!” —LizzieD

An electric wine opener with a cordless, rechargeable design that uncorks bottles in a jiffy: Just the press the button and ’tis done in only seven seconds. That $7 bottle of vino awaits. One single charge = enough power to open 80 bottles.

A graphic showing the foil-removing cap, and how the cork is removed


Amazon

Promising review: “This is one of the coolest gadgets that I own now. I never knew that opening a corked bottle of wine could be so easy and so entertaining as well. No more old fashioned corkscrews for me! With the press of a button and about seven seconds this awesome automated device pulls the cork right out of the wine bottle. Not to mention, it has a very cool blue light that illuminated the cork as it’s being removed from the bottle. This may be the best $20 I’ve ever spent. Surprisingly this is made very well and the fact that it’s rechargeable really blows my mind. I used to own a similar device that took regular batteries, but I always seemed to be replacing them. With this, you don’t need to buy anything else other than more bottle of wine! If you’re contemplating purchasing one of these and you’ve read my review up until this point, stop reading now and go make the purchase. You won’t be sorry! Cheers!” —SocDiesel

Promising review: “I love these! I tried three different brands before deciding on this one. They definitely block blue light, and they are high quality (which was not the case with other brands).

An automatic pan stirrer about to revolutionize your cooking routine. This clever gadget (designed with a timer!) churns away at sauces and other whisk-requiring ingredients, aka your arm will be saved from the pain that is continuous and tedious stirring.


Uncommon Goods

Promising review: “My husband LOVES Alfredo, but I HATE the constant stirring of the sauce, so I rarely make it! For Christmas, my husband invested in his future and bought me this self stirrer. I was incredibly sure that this gadget would never be able to manage the thick sauce and that I would end up whisking the night away. I will come before you now and claim that this was AMAZING!! I literally walked away and prepped other ingredients and walked back to the stove where my PERFECTLY COMBINED sauce sat. Truly a product worth its money!” —Kate

’70s-inspired high-top sneakers so you can say ~they’re vintage~ without having to have pawed through other peoples stinky shoes at the thrift store. It’s so easy to romanticize the idea of rummaging through worn sneakers when characters on TV do it. Not nearly as fun IRL. Trust me. I’ve frequented many a Brooklyn shop.

A W&P Porter ceramic mug as gorgeous as it is useful (I mean this screams Pinterest board). This is reusable, has a protective silicone sleeve, and comes with a secure lid press which makes this the perfect companion for daily morning strolls.

the pink mug


Amazon

Promising review: “I love this portable ceramic mug! It’s comfortable and cozy to hold because of the rubber lining that surrounds three-quarters of the ceramic. I like that the rubber also covers the bottom of the mug so that I can set it down on my desk without making a sound, but it’s so nice to be able to sip from the ceramic at the top (if you take the lid off) because it feels like you’re using a regular coffee mug (rather than a travel mug). It’s incredibly convenient to be able to microwave it when you want to reheat your drink. All around I think it’s worth the price.” —elizabeth

A ~Fasta Pasta~ cooker for the person who *insists* on eating Italian every night. This makes perfect al dente pasta right in the microwave every single time, plus the lid doubles as a strainer! So long to the 10 pots and pans that end up in my sink in the pursuit of penne.


amazon.com

Promising review: “I bought this microwave pasta cooker at a time when I did not have a stove. Even though I have a stove now, I still use this cooker for dinner for myself sometimes because it works so well and quickly! The pasta comes out very soft and perfectly cooked when instructions are followed. When the pasta is done, the lid is used to drain the cooker of water and works very well. Pasta is the only thing I have cooked in this product, but there are a lot of other things you can cook in it. I highly recommend this to any college student or adult who needs a fast microwave pasta cooker!” —Kelsi Murphy
