The kitchen can be a sad and lonely place. Knives get dull or rusty, plastic cookware warp from the flames of a stove. Somehow you have six butter knives but only three spoons, and one of them fell down the garbage disposal so it has a serrated edge. Show your kitchen some love before all the holiday parties flood through the door. All of these suggestions are perfect for those who need a kitchen pick-me-up. These items are under $100 and take your kitchen to the next level of adulting.

Stunning Walnut Cheese Board
$70.00

Rustic, handmade and natural wood pieces are stylish accents in the kitchen. Not only is this board beautiful but every design is unique because these are made to order and not mass-manufactured. A cheese board is great for the hostess at any get-together. Cheese, smoked meats, and briny olives are not included. This makes a wonderful wedding gift or just something to give yourself. Order the board customized with your name, or without. The board is charming either way. Cheese and smoked meats are not included.

4-Slice Toaster
$69.23

This is on my own personal list. I don't think I'll necessarily need it for holiday parties but I am still using a toaster I bought for under $20 almost 10 years ago. The dial is decorative and if I'm not paying attention I'll have charred bagels for breakfast. If my toaster reminds you of your toaster invest in a new one, that isn't on clearance, and actually functions. KitchenAid is a quality brand that I love to use. I've been using a KitchenAid mixer for all my baking needs, for years. This is a brand I trust. This toaster is available in other colors to match other appliances you already own.

Programmable Coffee Maker
$76.99

I've learned the hard way that an affordable coffee maker might not make the best coffee. Next time I will be willing to spend more for my coffee maker. I'm old fashioned because I enjoy a carafe, however, those seem to be phasing out. This system is programmable with a carafe and a single-cup option. Under $100 is a steal. Most coffee makers with all these bells and whistles are more expensive. My last coffee maker lasted for almost ten years. My current one sounds like it might not make it until the new year.

Flatware Caddy
$37.99

Raise your hand if you're still using that cheap caddy from your first apartment— I can't be the only one. This caddy is made of wood, is large enough for all of your flatware. It can be easily cleaned and maintained. I love that it's pretty enough to sit on top of a counter instead of inside a drawer. A very grown-up case for the very grown-up.
