A little while ago, I asked you to tell me about one of your favorite things, something that makes life a little bit easier or gives you a spark of joy. You came through!
Some of your favorites are clever gadgets I immediately wanted for my own kitchen, some are small treats, and some are simple moments that don’t cost a thing. I’ve listed every single one here, in your own words.
A quick note before we dive in: every favorite below comes from one of my readers. Where a product link was available, I’ve included it. Some of these links are affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases, at no extra cost to you. Some respondents didn’t include a link (and a few favorites, like a walk in the woods, can’t be bought!), so those are simply the quote and the reader’s first name.
In the Kitchen
“My Avocado tool” —Cheryl (Amazon)
“Geometry dish towels” —Amy (Amazon)
“A stiff silicone spatula without a lot of flex. It’s great for chopping ground meat, cooking eggs, and baking. It’s easy to clean, and if the handle is also silicone you can put it in the dishwasher.” —Caitlin
“My Tupperware can opener. Easiest I’ve ever used and leaves no sharp edges so no cut fingers.” —Joanie
“Bellemain Can Opener” —Pamela (Amazon)
“A Medsuo Jar Opener” —Marjorie (Amazon)
“Parchment paper (for baking). My cookies turn out better and clean up is a breeze. Baking is my happy place so parchment paper both makes my life easier and sparks joy.” —Alys

“Sprite’s Laughter Fruit Tea blend by Dryad Tea” —Kristal (Dryad Tea)

“My Mystery novels” —Don
“This desk lamp that I have by the side of my bed” —Sandy (Amazon)
