Hand-carved in Asheville, North Carolina, Crafted Glory’s furniture and small housewares come in unique and modern shapes that make great additions to — and conversation starters in — your home.

You might have seen some Awkward Auntie pieces at Madewell recently. The Austin-based crafter makes hand-dyed cement planters and decor pieces that add a nice touch to any kitchen.

Lolly Lolly Ceramics is a small-scale ceramics studio (a team of three people!) and the team makes pieces as fast as they can, but it also means that things can often sell out. The trick to scoring one of their super-stylish mugs? Keep an eye on restock dates on their Instagram and in email alerts (follow and sign up!). And grab yourself an itty-bitty pin in the meantime.

Filling your cabinets and shelves with items you know you’ll keep forever often requires extra effort. But 54Kibo makes it way easier with heirloom-quality products, including bowls, platters, napkins, placemats, and more.

Each candle from the ElonWick Candle Co. is hand-poured with 100% soy wax that's sourced in the United States. They use essential and fragrance oils from around the world (without any synthetic fragrances, phtalates, or parabens). The food-themed scents — like Georgia Peach — are some of the best I've smelled.

Colored glassware can be a polarizing topic. Do you like pouring your wine into a pop of color, or would you rather bring the brightness in with other tableware?

Neffi Walker uses dark tones and metals to make her housewares pop, which has become a signature aspect of her approach to design. Her collection of gold and matte flatware is stunning and will add a unique flair to any place setting.

They’ve thought of everything, so you can just click, shop, and know their items will be great additions to your space.

Don’t forget about the kids! Robin Oloyede started Colorfull Plates to keep her son inspired: It was initially a response to her inability to find astronaut decor that looked like her space-loving son, but has grown into a line of plates highlighting brown-skinned scientists, athletes, and other role models to keep kids excited about mealtime.

BLK & Bold founders Pernell Cezar and Rod Johnson started the brand to “make purpose popular.” The company pledges 5% of its profits to organizations and programs focused on ending youth homelessness and improving workforce development. Single-origin, decaf, light roast and dark, BLK & Bold Coffee sells a range of coffee blends (Kitchn editors love the dark roast), plus a handful of loose-leaf teas.

Misha’s Kind Foods sells a slate of non-dairy cheeses in decadent varieties. Black Truffle, Smoked Cheddar, and a Lox flavor made with dill, capers, and roasted carrots are just begging to be smeared on a cracker or bagel. While all the cheeses are vegan, they clearly state all ingredients and other potential allergens to make sure it’s safe for everyone who takes a bite. Shop online or in stores along the West Coast.

Ibraheem Basir grew up in a diverse Brooklyn neighborhood where swapping recipes with the families next door meant sampling foods from Caribbean, Latin, and Creole cuisines. That sparked the idea for A Dozen Cousins, his line of nutrient-rich, microwavable bean varieties, which include Refried Pinto Beans, Cuban Black Beans, and a limited-edition nod to New Orleans red beans and rice.

If cocktails are more your speed, Avec will elevate your at-home bartending game. Their low-calorie, low-sugar mixers are made with fruit juices and botanicals in vibrant flavors like Yuzu & Lime, Hibiscus & Pomegranate, and Jalapeño & Blood Orange (margarita night, here I come!). Contributor Stella Totino even drinks them without alcohol because they're just that delicious.

The ingredient that connects all Yolélé products is fonio, an ancient grain that is popular in West African cuisine, and otherwise not so easy to find in stateside. “Let the good times roll” is the closest translation of Yolélé, a term used in West and Central Africa to express that sentiment.

Founder Trinity Mouzon started mixing Golde's flagship turmeric latte blends when she experienced skin issues after moving to New York City. She and her team have since expanded the product lineup, adding superfood face masks and, most recently, a line of supplements.

CEO Christian Sargent took her mom’s 40-year-old recipe and turned it into a huge pancake mix business. The original Vicky Cakes recipe is vegan, using no milk powders or animal products like other popular brands. Instead, it calls for the addition of milk or buttermilk when you mix it up at home, allowing you to choose whether you want to go with traditional dairy or plant-based. They also use real food for their specialty mixes — whole blueberries and whole pecans instead of artificial bits and pieces.

Triple A sells three varieties of Chin Chin, a West African snack consisting of baked or fried wheat flour dough. Although they taste great solo, definitely try them as croutons, crunchy ice cream toppings, or alongside a strong cup of coffee.

When founder Ivy Lawson — a non-honey lover — tried Jamaican honey for the first time, she was hooked. So much so that she left a 20-year corporate engineering career and moved with her sons to Jamaica to become a bee farmer. Thus, Ivyee’s was born. The brand sells a range of honey products because of its natural healing and antibacterial properties. But their edible honey blends are best-sellers, with special infusions like Hibiscus & Sorrel and Creamed Floral Ginger.

If you know anyone from D.C., chances are you've heard of mambo sauce, a red, tangy condiment (almost like a ketchup alternative) that’s considered a must-have accompaniment to chicken wings and fries. The sauce used to be one of those enigmatic regional foods, found only at local Chinese carryout restaurants. So when D.C. natives Arsha Jones and her husband Charles moved to Maryland, they started toying with a recipe, and Capital City Mambo Sauce was born.

While there may be some debate about this brand’s claims that Kansas City is the “Barbecue Capital of the World,” the quality of Pitmaster LT sauce is not up for discussion. The Kansas City-style sauces come in Original or Spicy, and are free from allergens and preservatives. They also sell dry rub blends, if you want to expand beyond the sauce.

Smoked Yellow Peach, Blueberry Lemon Basil, Sour Cherry Ginger — these are not your grandma’s jam flavors. Trade Street jams have very little added sugar and no preservatives, making them about as close to homestyle as you can get on the grocery shelves. Shop online or find them at a specialty shop near you.

Even if you’re not familiar with Glory Foods, you’ve likely passed their products on the grocery shelves. They sell a range of canned foods including fruits and beans and vegetable medleys. Unlike many other canned products on the shelf, some Glory varieties come pre-seasoned. Their canned collard greens and black-eyed peas are a major cheat code for anyone adhering to the American Southern tradition of eating both with cornbread on New Year’s Day for good luck.

For vegans and vegetarians who are looking to get more protein, the answer is simple: Vegan Smart’s line of protein powders and shakes. These shakes come in seven flavors and varieties, each with a protein blend that contains all the essential amino acids, plus prebiotics, vitamins, and minerals — all without allergens and artificial sweeteners.

Whenever the craving strikes, pick up a pan of Mama’s Biscuits baked, ready-to-eat biscuits. They’re handmade with real butter, and none of the trans fat or preservatives. They come in sweet, savory, and vegan varieties (no butter in the vegan ones, of course).

Michele’s Foods has been around for 36 years, with beyond-basic flavors like Butter Pecan and Honey Creme.

Another honey option! Zach and Zoë Sweet Bee Farm was born out of necessity when the founders' youngest son, Zach, developed bad seasonal allergies. They were buying lots of local honey and seeing great results, so eventually, the couple took the plunge to become full-time beekeepers themselves.
