Made In
$119.00

Made In is one our go-to retailers for knives because their exquisite cutlery is full tang and fully forged from nitrogen-treated stainless steel. Translation: It's razor sharp and incredibly long lasting. The brand recently introduced several of its award-winning knives with a gorgeous olive wood handle. Add this elegant look to your kitchen setup in the form of the Chef Knife, Santoku Knife, Nakiri Knife, Bread Knife, and Paring Knife — or all of the above. Read our announcement here.

Brightland
$25.00

Brightland recently teamed up with Oishii, an indoor vertical strawberry farm, to create LUSH, a strawberry vinegar that tastes like summer in a bottle.

Walmart
$18.97

Le Creuset
$20.00

It's easy to love Le Creuset's new limited-edition Destination Mugs.

Great Jones
$160.00

By popular demand, Great Jones just re-released its beloved Dutchess in Taffy, a gorgeous, rosy pink that looks as great as it cooks. In fact, Taffy has been the brand’s most-requested color ever, but whenever it’s back in stock, it sells out within days, if not hours. (It even had a 1,000-person waitlist!) But here’s the good news: Taffy is back in stock (again!) and ready to become your new kitchen BFF. Read our announcement here.

Bed Bath & Beyond
$90.00

Bed Bath & Beyond just launched Our Table, a new line of affordable, hardworking kitchen essentials. Everything in the line is designed with shared meals and togetherness in mind.

Welly Bottle
$35.00

Made In
$89.00

Tom Colicchio loves the water, and that's why the five-time James Beard Award winner recently partnered with Made In to create state-of-the-art fishing knives. The set includes a straight-edged Flexible Fillet Knife for precision cuts like deboning, skinning, and filleting fish; and a serrated Utility Knife that's best for tougher cuts, like taking the head off a fish, prepping bait, and cutting frozen fish. The slip-resistant handles even match the hull on Colicchio's boat!

Brandless
$50.00

If you're unfamiliar with Brandless, let us introduce you. The retailer is known for eschewing logos for lower costs to make high-quality items more affordable — and they just launched a line of stainless steel cookware. The collection includes a two-quart saucepan for just $30, a six-piece cookware set that will only set you back $130 right now (normally $200, which is still such a steal), and other kitchen staples. They're made from five-ply stainless steel and have an aluminum interior that helps distribute heat evenly. Plus, you can use any utensils on the durable surface without worrying about scraping.
