Nordstrom’s Home Collection Is Filled with the Most Random & Useful Products You Didn't Know You Need in Your Life (or Kitchen)

Wine contains sulfites—artificial preservatives added when the wine is made. Once your bottle is opened, though, you don’t need these bitter-tasting elements in your wine. (There’s also a hotly debated belief in wine circles that sulfites cause headaches.) This wine purifier helps with that, since it’s a proprietary polymer filter that you pour your wine through, filtering out the sulfites while letting the other flavor-enhancing parts of your wine make it into the glass.

Genius—these felt circles fit around your wine glass stem, so no one else filches your glass mistakes your drink for theirs.

The base serves as a mini induction plate, keeping your cup warm, and when you’re not using it to heat a beverage, it doubles as a wireless cellphone charger.

Terrazzo is a mood in interiors today, and this Deco-darling stand looks as good charging your phone as it does empty.

This is as cute as a hipster vibrator, but it features more ways to make you happy: It mashes potatoes, chops veggies, has a stainless-steel whisk attachment and comes with a measuring/storage beaker.

Think of this stainless-steel case as our own Iron Man (if our bottle of wine was, you know, Tony Stark). Just screw the vacuum-insulated chiller over your wine bottle, and your vino stays perfectly chilled for hours.

Pop your phone inside, and in 20 minutes, UV light will zap away 99 percent of screen germs—and your phone’s charged.

You know those house-made little pickled veggies that make bistro sandwiches and cheffy plating so delicious and fancy? Now you can masterfully whip up your own batches at home, without worrying about assembling a whole range of expensive equipment. These two glass jars come with valve lids, a pair of pressing discs and a pair of tongs. Together, you can keep your pickled whatevers safely submerged until they’re ready, guaranteeing an anaerobic, perfect-pickling environment.

A large and a small sprayer are ready to twist right into your citrus, keeping a tight seal so that you’re keeping vitamins in there and oxidations out of there. Then you can just use your fruit like a spray bottle (say, to sprinkle over your one-pan roasted salmon before serving). And between uses, your lemon just sits up on its own little tray in the fridge.

Not sure which is more appealing—(a) the muted colors of these lids, or (b) the way their silicone surface magically sucks onto pots and bowls to form an airtight seal. So, we’ll just go with (c) all of the above.

The novel scooped-out shape contains your ginger, garlic or other accent flavors so you can easily add them to dishes.

Your art is going to look way better with some lifelike contouring.

This giant ink polyester pet bed accommodates up to 30 pounds of Bowser or Rex, who will look so cute sleeping on it next to your desk all day.

Throw in some roughly chopped veggies, then turn both sides of the device a few times in opposing directions and voila! Your nutritious stir fry base is ready.

Not only is this silicone guard able to withstand heat up to 450 degrees (so it’s going to catch all those oil splatters from your spicy sauté), it also helps you keep, say, a tall pile of Swiss chard or spinach in the pan til it has a chance to fit down. How did we ever cook without this?
