Ok, this may lean towards the impractical side, but I’ve always wanted to be able to roast marshmallows in my kitchen! The kids love s’mores (me too!), so who says you have wait for a camping trip to enjoy them! This would be so much for a sleepover.

21. Expandable Drawer Dividers

I’ve been known to spend hours in the aisles of the Container Store. I can’t help it if I like every nook and cranny in my home to be well organized! I bought a few of these adjustable drawer dividers for my kitchen drawers, and I love them! You can completely customize the size of each slot.

24. Pancake Pen

I’ve been doing this with my daughter for a few months now, only we’ve been using those cheap plastic ketchup squeeze bottles. They work ok, but the batter tends to get stuck in the small opening, so I have to make it thinner than preferred. This bottle is made specifically for pancake art! It also works great to fill cupcake liners without the mess. The top and bottom screw off for easy cleaning, and the tip is heat resistant.

This handy gadget not only holds the onion for you (no more stinky hands), but also guides your knife for perfectly even slices.

Don’t know, but it couldn’t hurt!
