    Ceramic Storage Containers

    Fridgewise, there’s nothing more depressing than week-old pizza and chicken parm in plastic Tupperware. Instead, imagine stowing your beef bourguignon and slow-cooked stews in eye-catching, wheel-thrown ceramics—maybe you’ll actually eat leftovers for once. Heritage pottery brand Bauer’s canisters are stackable, handmade in California, and come glazed in thirteen colors.

    The Gourmet Waffle Iron

    Waffles are the key to a successful marriage, it is known. Crisp, golden Belgians, served bedside in minutes? Bliss. Soggy or burnt? Chaos. Breville’s “smart” waffle maker does the work for you: Five pre-settings (Belgian, classic, chocolate, buttermilk, custom) and the “A Bit More” button for precise browning. A waffle a day keeps divorce away.

    An Artisanal Coffee Set-Up

    Sure, you could ask for a Jura or Miele, but coffee by hand is the ultimate indulgence—time and money. Crafted in Japan, this hand-crank grinder is made from cherry birch and has cast iron burrs that let you adjust from coarse to fine, while this handmade pour-over brewer has a walnut base and brass arm for its glass Hario cone. Together, they make for a superior cuppa and sit pretty on your countertop.

    The KitchenAid Stand Mixer

    The appliance that started it all still reigns supreme, as far as mixers go—chiffon cakes, buttermilk biscuits, and bourbon pecan pies become a breeze. The Artisan series comes in more than 20 colors, from pistachio to almond cream, while its five-quart mixing bowl and ten-speed dial should suffice. Of course, you’ll need attachments: May we suggest the ice cream maker, pasta press, and grain mill, to start?

    Cast-Iron Cocottes

    Sure, Le Creuset has the brand-name recognition, but Staub’s cast-iron cookware is hand-finished in France and preferred by Alain Ducasse and Joël Robuchon. Get a round cocotte for soups and stews, an oval for braising and roasting, the bouillabaisse pot for (what else?) bouillabaisse, and a dozen minis for ‘grammable oeufs. The enameled pots retain heat well, keep food moist, and look gorgeous from stovetop to table.
