1. A Magic Bullet personal blender that feels like wizardry (get it?), seamlessly blending ingredients in 10 seconds or less. The single-serve machine replaces the clunk of a larger appliance and can even be used to whip, purée, or chop ingredients.
2. A set of four magnetic organizers for your fridge, because does anyone else get depressed by how much cabinet space gets taken up just by spices? Like yes, my chicken is seasoned, but at what cost? The magnets are also strong enough, and the shelves are wide enough to hold things like peanut butter, drinks, jarred sauce, and snacks.
3. A foldable dining table and storage sideboard if your “open concept” space is code for “let’s cram a living room, a kitchen, and a dining room into one tiny area”. The sideboard can expand to a maximum of 87 inches, enough to seat 4–6 people. The cabinet also includes two sliding glass doors to store tableware. Take the table out when you need it and put it away when you’re not using it to make more space!
4. A set of two stackable folding chairs to go with the table. It’s true: they’re not just for rec centers! The seats are padded for maximum comfort, and the chairs are lightweight, so you can easily move them around.

Price: $51.99 (available in three colors)
5. A compact KitchenAid stainless-steel dish rack that’ll give you counter space back and actually holds more than your average drainer. The smart design can hold up to nine dinner plates, five glasses, and more, with an angled board to drain water directly into the sink. Anything to make everyone’s favorite chore (can you sense my sarcasm?) a little easier.
6. A stainless-steel Simplehuman sink caddy sponge holder for if you’ve gotten so overstimulated by the amount of stuff by your small sink area that you feel like screaming. It sticks to the sink with four suction cups and has ventilation holes to help your sponges dry.
7. A rolling kitchen island so you can roll away all your worries about counter and storage space. The surface is designed for chopping, and the island comes with a built-in charging station to plug in any appliances. Also, get ready for the wine compartment, stemware storage, towel rack, locking wheels, *AND* stain-resistant finish.
8. A bamboo shelving unit to keep your microwave, electric kettle, mugs, pots, or pretty much anything else your little heart can think of. Dream big! The unit is a bit taller than a standard counter height and, despite weighing only 5 pounds, can bear up to 88 pounds.
9. A Bella 3.5-quart hand and stand mixer combo that will make you ask, “Bella, where the hell have you been, loca?” The hand mixer and blending bowl nest neatly together, with all the attachments you could need. Now, you can live out your Great British Bake-off dreams without cramping your kitchen.

10. A NutriBullet Chill ice cream maker, if you’re looking for a smaller alternative to the Ninja Creami. This one is 35% smaller than the Creami, and even in my cramped kitchen, it doesn’t feel like I’m sacrificing any space by having it. The machine comes with five settings (ice cream, gelato, frozen yogurt, sorbet, and smoothie bowl) and two pint-size cups to make the most delicious frozen treats. Brain freeze has never been more worth it.

Price: $199.99 (available in five colors)
11. A magnetic paper towel holder, in case you have way too much stuff by your kitchen sink. No install is needed — just smack this thing on your fridge (horizontally or vertically) and you’re done. Alternatively, you can use it to hang a dish towel.
12. A water bottle organizer, which I should honestly get for myself because I don’t even want to talk about how many Owalas I own and how poorly they fit anywhere standing upright. The two shelves are adjustable, making more room for not only water bottles, but also travel mugs, sippy cups, and baby bottles.
13. A wall-mounted pot rack, because your wall really is your best friend when it comes to finding storage space in a small kitchen. The holder has 10 detachable and movable hanging S-type hooks, able to withstand 30–40 pounds of weight.
14. A Keurig pod storage carousel, because you may not be able to overcome your love of coffee (honestly, why would you even want to), but you can overcome your disorganized coffee pods! The space-efficient rotating tool holds up to 36 Keurig pods at a time.

Promising review: “This is an awesome item to keep your pods organized and displayed in an attractive manner. This chrome-finished item can swivel around so you can clearly see all your choices each day. You may notice pods that you forgot you own! Its appearance on your counter makes everything else look better. It has certainly made our mornings quicker and easier.” —Shannon
Price: $19.99 (originally $31.99)
15. A lazy Susan–style turntable with four removable, stackable bins and a rectangular shape for fitting into corners. Getting one to organize my snacks stopped my pantry from looking like a hot mess and freed up space. Also, unrelated, but I’m low-key salivating over the fruit cup in the product photo… weren’t those amazing as a kid?!
Wayfair
16. A backware rack that’ll stop you from playing a loud game of Tetris every time you have to get out your muffin pan that’s stacked on top of your cake pan that’s stacked on top of your baking pan. It includes seven adjustable dividers to fit everything you need.
17. A rolling organizer caddy if the state of your under-the-sink cabinet looks like something out of an M. Night Shyamalan movie. The caddy comes with adjustable dividers to store all your sponges, cleaning solutions, and hand soap. Reviewers also say they work great in the fridge and freezer.
18. A two-person dining table and chair set, because even if you don’t have a lot of space, balancing your dinner on the couch isn’t exactly a vibe. Designed for small spaces, the set includes a circular table and two faux leather chairs. The table has an X-shaped design that prevents wobbling and a cute spot for storage.
19. A hanging fruit basket to corral all your stray apples, oranges, tomatoes… pretty much anything the Hungry Hungry Caterpillar would eat. You install it by screwing in metal hooks underneath a cabinet and then looping the basket’s wooden hooks on. The basket is deeper than it looks, holding around 10 pieces of fruit. One less thing on the counter and one more thing hanging in the air!
20. A steel cabinet shelving rack to stack more plates and bowls in your cabinet. The shape is designed to fit into corners, so no nook or cranny is wasted space!
21. A Bialetti Moka pot, because it’s true what they say: good things come in small packages. Ditch the bulk of your big coffee machine and do as the Italians do. The small stovetop appliance can make up to nine shots of espresso at a time. Andiamo!
22. A set of food storage containers to neatly store and stack all your dried food. And guess what? This seven-piece set is dishwasher safe. Your dried spaghetti has never looked this sexy.
23. A magnetic wooden knife holder if, like me, your silverware drawer keeps getting jammed from something, and your big knife is starting to look like the prime suspect. The wooden block has five strong magnets inside for hanging up knives, and can also be used for items like keys or scissors.

Price: $36.99 (originally $38.99)
24. And a compact silverware organizer to tackle the problem from a different angle. The layering design doubles your drawer storage, which I call a major win. Plus, there are nonslip feet at the bottom.
Promising review: “This is my kitchen cabinet’s quiet MVP. I highly recommend. The quality is great, and the low profile works in tight drawers, where it takes up roughly a third of the space (if that). I keep six utensils in each pocket, and don’t think it’d hold much more than that. All in all, a great addition to any kitchen. (Now I just need to organize everything else in that drawer.)” —Anonymous
Price: $19.99 (originally $29.99)
25. A dual-compartment trash can because you probably need a more space-efficient place for putting your recycling than a Trader Joe’s bag on the kitchen floor. The dual pull-out cans extend up to three feet and can each hold up to 9.25 gallons.

Promising review: “This pull-out trash and recycling cabinet was exactly what I needed to keep my space organized and clean-looking. The sliding mechanism feels smooth, the bins are a great size, and it fits nicely without taking up too much room. I really like the modern black finish and how easy it is to separate trash from recycling. Assembly was straightforward, and overall it feels sturdy and well-made for the price.” —James
Price: $99.99
26. A Bella two-slice slim toaster, which I still can’t shut up about, a year after getting it. It really makes you wonder: why are regular toasters so ridiculously clunky, when after all, all you use them for is, well, toasting?! The Bella toaster is a total space saver, with a single long slit that can fit two slices of sandwich bread or a single slice of sourdough. Plus, there’s a handy crumb catcher at the bottom.
27. A cabinet door organizer for all those pesky plastic bags that you don’t know where to store. It can store up to 50 bags at a time, with a wide opening at the bottom for easy grabbing and an attachable holder on the other side for reusing the bags (which is especially handy during food prep). You don’t need any tools to install it either: just slide it over your cabinet, and boom.

28. A freezer bin organizer so you can neatly stash all your frozen fruit and vegetables, making more room for what’s really important… ice cream! The container comes with six dividers, four of which are adjustable. Plus, the bin slides for quick grab-and-go.
29. An adorable three-tier mug holder that looks straight out of a Nancy Meyers film. It has a convenient upper shelf for keeping teabags, coffee, or sugar, and comes with two types of expansion screws to fit different types of walls.
30. A nine-piece “store more” cookware set which comes with four pots and pans, two universal lids, and three scratch-proof inserts. In addition to the storage win, the set is nonstick, scratch-proof, and comes with heat-proof handles. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Wayfair
Promising review: “Beautiful color and such a great addition to our kitchen. The nonstick surface has been incredibly easy to cook with and clean, and the variety of sizes is perfect for everyday use. Everything fits nicely in our remodeled drawers, which makes it both functional and streamlined.” —Veronyka
