A mini waffle maker, because what day isn’t made better with the addition of a homemade waffle or two? This appliance whips up 4-inch waffles in minutes, and features nonstick surfaces for a super-easy cleanup.
Target
Promising review: “Me and my two toddlers love the mini waffle maker! It makes the perfect size waffles for kids. I’ve been using it for over a year, and it still works great. Best $10 I’ve spent. I’m looking forward to purchasing the seasonal-themed waffle makers.” —taly bueno

A cantilever pendant floor lamp that’ll help fill that darkest corner of your home with light and stylish retro vibes. Reviewers love that this lamp is dimmable and has an adjustable base that lets you control the light’s height.
Target
Promising review: “Obsessed with this lamp; brings a nice modern touch to my living room, and having the dimmable feature is a huge plus! There’s also a bottom to the lampshade that filters the light really nicely, and assembly was easy. What more can you ask for?!” —Happycamper
Price: $100
4.
A silk pillowcase to help keep your locks frizz free all winter long. Reviewers love that this pillowcase is ridiculously soft to the touch and doesn’t slip off your pillow — and the fact that it helps keep your hair soft and untangled doesn’t hurt.
Target
Promising review: “I’ve had my pillowcase for a few months now, and I still absolutely love it. It fits a standard pillow easily and does not slip off. I notice my face serum actually stays on my face and is not completely absorbed by my pillowcase. It washes up great, too. I just throw it over the towel bar in the bathroom, and it dries fairly fast. I will be buying more of these as gifts for my friends.” —Lauraanders
Price: $30 (available in four colors)
5.
A George Foreman grill that doubles as a panini press, so you can whip up a burger or a hot sandwich whenever you please. The grill has a nonstick coating and has an adjustable angle, so you can tilt it depending on what you’re cooking.
Target
Promising review: “I was able to use this grill to reheat the following items: steak, salmon, Japanese hamachi kama (fish collar), yakisoba, and even some thick chili! I did not think it was possible, but each of these reheated beautifully, better than a microwave, and my meat did not dry out! The grill surface is larger without making the machine too much bigger with its new slim design. It also has an expandable 1-inch hinge so that you can heat from the top (like a panini press) without squeezing out from one side. It seems to heat up quicker and more evenly, which is how it heated up my leftovers so well! ” —ShoppingatTargetinLA

Target

Price: $90
9.
A Ninja hot and iced coffee maker because coffee is an integral part of the day, so don’t skimp on it. This appliance has three brew styles — classic, rich, and iced — and can brew six different sizes. It’s also equipped with 24-hour delay brew, so you can wake up to hot coffee. It’s always nice to have someone else make the coffee — even if that someone is your new friendly robot coffee maker.
Target
This coffee maker comes with a thermal carafe, permanent filter, and a Ninja Smart Scoop. It takes ground coffee, not pods.
Promising review: “This coffee maker brews significantly better-tasting coffee than my Keurig. I love the variety of size settings, from a single cup to a full carafe. My favorite setting is the ‘over ice’ brew, which makes delicious, not watered-down, coffee every time! I highly recommend it!” —Objective consumer
Price: $159.99

12.
A velvet curtain panel with macrame trim that’ll literally and figuratively warm up any room. The machine-washable panel even filters out light so you can get a good night’s sleep no matter how bright it is outside.
Target
Promising review: “Love the softness and thickness of this curtain. It gives my bedroom that extra flare I have been wanting. They filter the light out just enough to bring an air of warmth inside. I love the fringe detail, and the color is so pretty!” —cajunmom76
Price: $37 each

A fancy marble spoon rest to keep your spoon occupied and counters clean while you’re whipping up hearty soups and stews to cope with the cold weather. And don’t worry about staining this piece — it’s super easy to spot clean.
Target
Promising review: “I bought the matching set of this marble spoon rest with the marble utensil holder, and it goes so well together. I especially love how easy it is to clean. I usually just wipe it with a damp cloth or use Method multi-surface cleaner, and none of the taste imparts when cooking. It’s wonderful for the price and intelligently designed. It even has a small indent so your spoon stays in place.” —hi_isa

A wooden bed tray to enjoy breakfast (or lunch, or dinner) from the coziness of your bed. This 20″ x 13″ tray even has foldable legs and cut out handles on either side making it easy to store and move.
Target
Promising review: “I live in a small apartment, where my living room is taken up by my cats’ litter boxes and my workout area. For 5+ years, I’ve been eating in my bed, either placing my dishes on my bed or precariously in my lap. I don’t know why I waited so long to order a bed tray! Not only does it look nice, but it easily folds/unfolds, and is the perfect height for eating. My laptop also fits perfectly within it. I’m no longer sitting so hunched over in bed.” —Debbie E
Price: $30

A velvet storage ottoman that can hold extra pillows and blankets while also doubling as a spot to rest your feet after a long day. Need extra seating? This comfy ottoman takes care of that, too.

A 4.5-quart Crock-Pot with three manual cook settings — including a warming option — so you can cook pretty much anything your heart desires. This dishwasher-safe slow cooker is perfect for making hearty meals (for up to five people), as well dips, stews, and other culinary delights.
Target
Promising review: “We had a larger Crock-Pot but felt it was too big for our family of three. My husband and son are both BIG eaters, but this is still plenty large enough to make a big pot of chili or sauce and have some leftovers for their lunches the next day. It heats excellently, handles well, and washes well in the dishwasher. I got this on sale for less than $20, but would pay full price. It’s a dream machine.” —solbear13
Price: $24.99

A two-pack of 4-bar hangers because it’s never a bad idea to maximize your closet space, especially given all the winter layers currently in rotation. Each velvet hanger holds clothes in place and has four bars so you can store multiple pairs of pants or accessories on a single one.

A diamond patterned shag rug that’ll add some texture to a room of your choosing, making the space infinitely more comfy and cozy. Reviewers love that this accent piece is fade- and stain-resistant, and has minimal shedding.

Promising review: “Absolutely love how cozy and fluffy this rug is! The color is beautiful, and it is thick enough to sit on without a pillow. The price is so amazing for this size and thickness.” —Beautybybergie

A cordless electric tea kettle because sometimes you ~need~ a cup of tea to make it through the day. This adorable appliance boasts an ergonomic grip handle, water level gauge, a light that indicates when water is boiling, and a spare filter.
Target
Promising review: “This electric kettle works great! It holds a lot of water so you don’t have to fill it up very often. The water gauge helps you track how much water is left. It heats the water up very quickly and efficiently. I think it looks nice on the countertop. It has a nice design. The color is also very nice. We use it pretty much every day. I also like that unlike a regular kettle, it doesn’t make a loud noise when it is ready. I would definitely recommend this kettle!” —Bhrgirl

Target
Promising review: “I bought the larger size and used it to plant basil, parsley, and thyme, and it works great for that. The self-watering concept makes it really easy for me, as I’m a total newbie when it comes to plant care. Just add water in the hole, and the soil drinks it right up!” —Momma Elf
Price: $8+ (available in two sizes and three colors)
25.

Promising review: “Love this! It fit seven days’ worth of clothing and two pairs of shoes with some room to spare. It worked great as a carry-on and fit nicely in the overhead luggage bins on planes. It rolls smoothly, the zippers were a nice quality, and it held up very well. I highly recommend it!” —phaskell
