Coravin Model 6 SmartClamp Wine Preservation System: $399.95

There’s nothing more upsetting than opening an expensive bottle of wine only to have it go bad before you’re able to finish it. You’ll never have to experience that again if you add the Coravin Model 6 SmartClamp Wine Preservation System to your at-home bar.

The patented wine system allows you to enjoy a glass of wine without removing the cork by poking an ultra-thin needle into it. After pouring, the cork naturally reseals itself, preserving the wine inside. Sure, $400 seems steep, but if you end up tossing out half-drank bottles of wine pretty regularly, this handy tool could end up paying for itself.

Smeg Electric Kettle 3D Logo: $199.95

Yes, you can buy electric tea kettles for cheaper, but will they be as chic? This retro-looking Smeg kettle is available in 10 colors, so you can match it perfectly to your kitchen decor.

Ooni Koda 16 Pizza Oven: $499

The perfect gift for a pizza lover, the Ooni Koda 16 Pizza Oven can bake a 16-inch pizza in just 60 seconds. It can also be used to cook steak, chicken, vegetables and even pies. Plus, it’s portable so you can take it with you to picnics and tailgate parties.
