Candy-Apple-Red Toaster
Give respite to late risers by keeping toast, well, toasty on the removable warming rack. Another perk: Check browning without hitting CANCEL with the “lift and look” feature.

Baby-Blue Kitchen Timer
Under 4 inches tall, it’s just the ticket for adding a hint of mid-century flair. It’s seriously old-school—spin the chrome ring to set.

Coral Stand Mixer
Need an excuse to splurge on a new stand mixer? This vivid hue, dubbed Bird of Paradise, is a 2018 exclusive. Save a few bucks (and still get plenty of power) with this mini version.

Short on counter space? This 700W small wonder has a .7-cubic-foot capacity at less than 18 inches wide. It’s energy-saving, too, with a zero-power standby mode.
