Samsung Frame Series TV
The Samsung Frame Series TV is the perfect solution to unsightly TVs being the focal point of a room. When turned off, this TV looks exactly like a piece of art. You are able to customize what is displayed. The frame is also interchangeable to match your decor.
KitchenAid Artisan Tilt-Head Stand Mixer
KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixers are a classic kitchen staple piece. In addition to being great mixers, they are also beautiful countertop accessories that can be left out year-round. The mixers are sold in a wide range of colors. Neutrals are always a safe option, but a KitchenAid mixer is also a great way to add a pop of color. Currently, the most popular color is Blue Velvet (pictured above). The mixers are made in several different sizes, but the most versatile option is the 5-quart.
All-Clad D3 Tri-Ply Stainless-Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set
When it comes to pots and pans, you get what you pay for. All-Clad pots and pans are a bit of a splurge, but they will last your newlyweds a lifetime.
All-Clad D3 features stainless steel on the interior and exterior, with an aluminum core. This allows for the heat to distribute evenly and prevents warping. The All-Clad D3 is a bit more affordable than the D5, which has two more layers of metal. We found that the performance difference is negligible. Also, one downside to a thicker pan is that it takes longer to react to changes in temperature.
John Boos Block Cutting Board
John Boos Block Cutting Boards are a must-have for anyone who likes to cook. These large cutting boards make meal prep a breeze, providing plenty of space and protecting countertops. They come in Maple, Cherry, and Walnut, allowing you to select one that matches your kitchen. Our pick is the 24″ x 18″ Maple wood cutting board.
Google Nest or Amazon Ring Doorbell
Doorbell cameras are a practical and useful addition to any home. Through the iPhone or Android app, users will receive notifications when someone is at their door or when a package is delivered. You can watch live and recorded footage, and can even talk to people through the doorbell. Unlike traditional security systems, they can be battery operated or hardwired. Google and Amazon also make security cameras which can be used in addition to or instead of the doorbell.
Lodge Cast Iron Skillet, 12 Inch
Every kitchen needs a cast iron skillet. The Lodge 12″ cast iron skillet is a versatile pick, for under $40 – great for cornbread, steak, chicken, and everything else. This skillet comes pre-seasoned and ready to use. As an additional bonus, it comes with the silicone handle holder.
Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Round Dutch Oven, 7.25 qt
Le Creuset Dutch Ovens are an investment piece that will last a lifetime. The 7.25 quart allows for a large batch of soup or stew, a whole chicken, and family-size dishes. The enameled cast iron cooks food evenly and retains heat efficiently.
Chef’n Citrus Juicers
Chef’n Citrus Juicers are a game-changer, especially for margaritas. Chef’n makes different sized versions for limes, lemons, and oranges. The unique gear mechanism allows you to juice citrus with minimal effort. They are also dishwasher safe, making cleanup easy.
Weezie Monogrammed Towels
Weezie makes adorable towels which can be personalized with trim color and a monogram. This makes a great gift for newlyweds, as they will get to show off their new monogram as a married couple. In addition to towels, Weezie also offers robes, bath mats, and other home accessories.
SMEG Toaster
A toaster no longer has to be an eye sore while sitting on a countertop. This SMEG toaster comes in a variety of colors, and has the signature SMEG retro appearance.
Pyrex Glass Measuring Cup Set
This Pyrex Glass Measuring Cup Set is a kitchen staple, and will be used every single day. They are microwave and dishwasher safe, making cleanup a breeze.
OXO Good Grips POP Container Sets
OXO Good Grips POP Container Sets make pantry organization a breeze. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and keep food fresh for longer than store packaging. The 10 piece set is a great starting point. We also love the handy cereal containers.
Nespresso
Nespressos are taking over what was previously predominately a Keurig market. Nespressos make individual shots of espresso with prepackaged pods. The base models, such as the Vertuo (pictured above), are priced under $150. Some models allow you to select either a shot of espresso or a full cup of coffee, eliminating the need for a normal coffee maker.
