This list is a current compilation of all my favorite things that enhance all my favorite things of 2024: cooking, traveling, entertainment and more!
Kitchen & Home
1. Stanley quencher 40 oz
If loving this 40 oz Stanley Quencher is basic…then I’m cool with being basic! It is so cute and convenient and a great way to get your hydration in. Not to mention it also is the perfect home for another one of my favorite things.
2. Stanley Snack Bowl
This Stanley Snack Bowl has completely leveled up my snacking game. I fill up my Stanley, fill up my snacks and post up on the couch or head out the door to run errands. I even found an Instagram page dedicated to filling this cup and bowl with creative snacks.
3. Cuisinart Food Processor
A good food processor can make a world of difference when cooking, and this Cuisinart Food Processor is a game changer. Grate your cheese, make your dressings and sauces, chop your veggies and more.
4. Cast Iron Fondue Set
I LOVE FONDUE. And this Cuisinart Fondue Set is more than just one of my favorite things of 2024, its an all time favorite. I have been doing fondue nights since most of my life and this pot has lasted me decades! Its perfect for cheese and chocolate fondue.
5. Digital kitchen Scale
When it comes to baking and cooking, sometimes accuracy is key, and this Digital Kitchen Scale has made it so much easier. Lightweight and easy to use, with several measurement unit options, this is a kitchen essential.
6. Cast iron skillet
I’m a firm believer that every adult should own a Cast Iron Skillet (like this one from Lodge). It’s not the pan that you’ll use for everything, but the things you do use it for, you’ll definitely notice a difference. Be sure to learn the best way to clean and season them!
7. Shark Cordless Vacuum
When you like to cook, entertain and get a little messy, you need something that can clean up after you. For me, the convenience and quality of this Shark Cordless Vacuum makes it easy.
Travel
8. Travel bottle set
This adorable rainbow travel bottle set is an absolute essential for your next trip. It’s TSA approved, perfect for many different products and oh so cute!
9. Mini refillable perfume bottles
I LOVE these. I always hated that when I went on trips I either had to bring my whole perfume bottle or nothing. But these mini refillable perfume bottles are so easy to use and the perfect travel size.
10. 3-in-1 Charging Station
When you’ve got all your devices on your trips, it’s important to have a spot to get them all recharged for the next day. So, when outlet space is limited, this 3-in-1 charging station is one of my favorite things of 2024.
11. Compact portable charger
The truth is, when you’re exploring a new city, you don’t have time to stop and plug in. This iWalk portable charger makes it so easy to keep things moving and charging!
Entertainment
12. Novelty Popcorn Boxes
As sily as it may seem, having these plastic novelty popcorn boxes makes a movie night all the more special! Such a cheap and fun way to level up your entertainment experience!
13. Movie Projector and screen
This mini projector and screen means you can have a movie night just about anywhere! Whether it’s a blanket fort in your living room or a tent in the backyard, this projector will bring the cinema to you.
14. Fire TV Stick
If you want to have access to all the world of streaming (and why wouldn’t you), you must have a streaming device like this Fire TV Stick. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon and more all at your fingertips.
15. fujifilm Instax mini 11 instant camera
When you’re having fun entertaining friends and family, what’s better than being able to capture it on film. This Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 Instant Camera is such a special way to document, and makes for a fun unique experience.
Games
16. Skyjo
Skyjo is one of my favorite things of 2024 because it is an easy to learn, easy to play game that’s still a lot of fun. It makes a great gift and can be played with 2-8 people.
17. Tell Me Without Telling Me
Tell Me Without Telling Me is an amazing party game. It’s like charade with a twist so it’s great to play with a fun group. Be prepared to laugh!
18. Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza
Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza is just as silly as the name implies, but it is oh so fun. Such a simple concept makes it easy to play with friends and great for gifting!

21. Ticket to ride
Similar to another classic, Catan, Ticket to Ride is a fun strategy game where you have to complete your train routes along the United States.
Design
22. Checkered throw blanket
If you are looking for something cozy, warm and adorable, look no further than this checkered throw blanket. It is available in many different colors, but I think this black and white checkered one is timeless and funky. You won’t be worried about leaving your throws on the couch when they are this cute.
23. Vinyl Record wall mount shelves
These wall mount shelves for vinyl records are the perfect combination of practical and beautiful. If you have a record collection you are proud of, why not also turn the cover art into wall art. These clear vinyl shelves are the perfect way to display them.
