10 Home, Kitchen Gadget Gifts for Women ... she'll (Enjoy and Use)... All the Time!
1. Robot Vacuum Cleaner
Why She'd Want a Robot Vacuum Cleaner
I started my list with one of the coolest home gadget gifts for women I could think of, and cleanest.
Who really prefers to spend extra time on routine maintenance cleaning anyway when there is a better solution? Or who wants to go clean up shedding pet hair?
Vacuum robots work autonomously. She’ll feel like she hired a cleaning service to do the work for her (or both of you). Then she can invest time elsewhere, like with you or the family.
Or better yet, she won’t send you to clean it.
Plus, your home’s floor stays clean more often anyway.
Downsides
You might need more than one robot vacuum cleaner depending on the size of your rooms, how many floors you have in your home, and how many hard-to-reach places you have in your home.
However, robot vacuum cleaners with smart technology, like the Kyvol Cybovac above, will reach many of those tough spots and keep your floors cleaner overall. They’re just more expensive than some of the more basic models.
Or you still might want to keep an upright vacuum cleaner for spot cleaning.
- Most models not as powerful as regular upright vacuums, may still have to use it for spot cleaning.
- Some not completely autonomous- some models still need to be emptied.
- Will need to move and reprogram for upstairs/downstairs or buy two robot vacuums
- Might not reach ever spot in home.
Things to Consider Before Choosing Specific Robot Vacuum
Choose the robotic vacuum cleaner that addresses your most pressing needs. Don’t choose one just because of its fancy features- you may not end up using them.
Here are some more things to keep in mind with this item on my list of gadget gifts for women.
- Cleaning thoroughness: suction power to pick up pet hair, sand and small debris and cleaning pattern
- Battery life for long average run time- (especially in big homes)
- User-friendliness: ease of first-time set up (especially for first-time robot vacuum consumers; easy-to-program (if applicable)
- Self-emptying and self charging (returns to base)
- WiFi enabled and smart-enabled to check status of robot vacuum and cleaning history, program cleaning schedule and patterns; and receive software updates
- Alexa or Google Assistant compatible
- Ability to move between surface types
- Cliff sensor to avoid tumbling down stairs

Hardwood Floors 4.5 of 5
Suction Power 4.2 of 5
Brief Eufy by Anker RoboVac 11S Review
PROs
- Great price and value
- Simple, good starter robotic vacuum cleaner
- Some reviews said the Eufy RoboVac 11S even picked up their pet hair

2. Adjustable Bed Base and Mattress
Why She'd Want an Adjustable Bed Base and Mattress
If you’ve ever slept in a truly, high-quality bed you’d immediately notice the difference in comfort and most certainly would have enjoyed a deeper, more relaxing night’s sleep.
Personally, I can sleep soundly on the couch, but when I sleep on a bed better than mine, like in a hotel, it feels like heaven.
Now consider the cream-of-the-crop beds- adjustable beds with the ability to incline/recline your head and feet or even offer a massage.
If she values a good night’s sleep, you might consider an adjustable bed base and mattress as the premium gift for her.
Downsides
Of course, with premium comes price.
Plus, you face a flood of options and features, so it can get overwhelming to choose.
Not to mention, you must buy a mattress that fits the base because you cannot just buy any mattress if you want it to bend and adjust.
Adjustable beds and mattresses can get expensive, but they can make a world of difference in quality of sleep.
Things to Consider Before Choosing Specific Robot Vacuum
These can get quit expensive, but if you choose correctly, an adjustable bed with the right mattress could become of the best luxury investments for your home that you’ll enjoy for years.
It’s why I added it to this list of useful home gadget gifts for women.
As I just mentioned, adjustable beds come abound with options and features. You must choose which you think will matter most to her, or both of you if you share a bed.
Besides the comfort that these beds offer, you can add other features that add convenience to the experience of laying down and relaxing.
Some beds even come with trial periods that give you the opportunity to return the bed if you don’t like it; albeit with a fee.
Here are some more things to keep in mind with this item on my list of gadget gifts for women.
- Dual adjustability: does each side raise and lower separately?
- Responsive to your movements while sleeping to adjust the mattress’s firmness to enhance comfort
- Cooling capability 1) absorbs heat and releases it 2) smart breathable fabric for cooler surface
- Head and feet raise (not all mattresses do)
- Choose the right mattress (price, comfort, size, split, features, compatible with base- must bend)
- Zero gravity– a weightless feeling, pressure-free support, slight lift on upper and lower body at same time
- Wireless remote
- Design and style (not clinical, hospital feel): headboards, foot boards, wooden frames to blend in with bedroom decor
- Wireless phone charging
- Massage capability

CONs

3. Induction Cooktop Countertop Burner
Why She'd Want an Induction Cooktop Countertop Burner
Speed.
Given the technology behind induction cooktops, the fact they heat up faster combined with their precise temperature control allows for a faster start-to-finish cooking of your meals.
Plus, they are safer since they cool down faster as well.
Not to mention, they are more energy efficient given they transfer heat straight to the pan or pot.
Therefore, no energy is lost in the surrounding air.
Induction cooktops are easier to clean.
Downsides
Of course, induction cooktops come with their downsides as well.
- Induction cooktops can be more expensive than traditional cooktops
- They requires specific cookware, although some are compatible, you may need to replace old cookware (new cookware must indicate that it is “induction safe”)
- Tricky to activate (start the heat up process), you must center cookware until it turns on
- Cookware scratches easily
Things to Consider Before Choosing Specific Robot Vacuum
Induction cooktops are not as extravagant as robot vacuum cleaners or adjustable beds, but you still face some decision of options and features.
For example, you must have or buy compatible induction cooktop pots and pans.
And you must use the same sized pot or pan for the same sized burner (if the cookware is bigger than the burner it will NOT heat across the entire surface).
Here are some more things to keep in mind with this item on my list of gadget gifts for women.
- Position of burners on the cooktop: if the front and back ones are close together you can place griddles to cook larger quantities of food
- Number of burners: 5 would be ideal, but more expensive than 4
- Size of burners in diameter: you need at least 2 bigger burners to cook with big pots and pans
- Size of cooktop: if you replace your whole range it must match the right measurements
- Instant adjustable heat: to change heat intensity based on what ingredients you cook
- Cookware detection to adjust to size and type of cookware for proper cooking temperature
- Heat Output: wattage
- Heat Distribution: heat evenly around cookware
- the RIGHT Cookware meant for induction cooktops
- Digital touch controls
- Temperature settings
- Portable or range cooktops

PROs
- Lightweight- easy to move and store
- Includes timer (up to 170 minutes) and temperature controls
- Safe- auto shuts off when lifting pot or pan
- Easy to clean
- Heats quickly
- Many reviews say they use it for everyday cooking
- Great for cooking side dishes with extra countertop burner
CONs
- Must buy the right cookware meant for induction cooking
- Only single burner, not dual burner (although dual burners require more storage space)
4. Countertop Toaster Oven
Why She'd Want a Toaster Oven
Speed and convenience.
Single-serve items- frozen or fresh (breakfast sandwiches, fries, personal-sized pizzas, chicken nuggets, pizza rolls, etc) or meals are so much easier to prepare in a toaster oven.
I couldn’t do without mine and neither will you both if you buy her this item from my list of kitchen gadget gifts for women this year.
In a regular over is a waste of time and energy or a microwave mushes the food.
All toaster ovens offer multiple cooking functions: toast, bake, defrost, broil, and more.
They pre-heat super quick, can auto-shut off to save energy and to prevent potential fires.
Simple to clean.
One of my favorite bonus benefits of toaster ovens is you can cook side dishes at same time as your main dish- this saves A LOT of time.
Downsides
Not as fast as microwave
Cannot cook big quantities or large items like a regular oven.
May have to cut pizzas or larger food into pieces or cook separately which loses time.
Things to Consider Before Choosing A Specific Toaster
It’d surprise you how sophisticated a toaster oven can get.
Smart toaster ovens cook to perfection based on pre-set cooking methods without guessing how to cook, how long to cook something, what temperature to cook at, the kind of food or how thick the item is.
But you do not need a smart toaster oven.
Even the basic ones add a level of convenience.
You’ll wonder why you never had one.
Here are some more things to keep in mind with this item on my list of gadget gifts for women.
- Size: dimensions and capacity (you’ll need a wider and deeper toaster oven to prepare some pizzas or larger portions of frozen foods)
- Number of slots for cooking racks
- Dials or digital
- Counter space: Do you have any space for it?
- Accessories: crumb tray, baking pan, multiple racks
- Cooking functions: toasting, broiling, baking and reheating
- Convection toaster ovens can air fry which is super healthy since it vastly decreases fat content and still makes tasty meals

- Interior light to check cooking doneness
- Air fries: great all-in-one-unit
- Extra Features: Includes baking pan, air fry basket, removal tool, drip tray, rotisserie skewer, oven rack
CONs
- Air fryer good enough, but not as good as stand-alone air fryer appliance
- Reviews said dials get hot to touch
- Reviews said not very easy to clean (I think most toaster over are not, though)
5. Single Cup Coffee Maker
Why She'd Want a Single Cup Coffee Maker
Once again speed and convenience, but a lot of convenience.
Insert a pod, click a button.
I couldn’t live without one.
And if you haven’t given in to placing one of these on your counter then maybe it’s finally time.
A single cup coffee maker is one of the items on this list of cool and kitchen gadget gifts that you both will use every day and for years!
Most models use single serve, pre-made pods of some kind, meaning you do not need to waste money on filters or ever be concerned about running out.
The coffee flavor comes out perfect because there is no need to measure the coffee.
With single cup coffee makers no coffee gets wasted because there is no extra coffee left over.
You always make exactly what you need.
And single-serve pods are sold in many flavors of coffee and teas
Downsides
In my opinion, my single cup coffee maker presents very few downsides (and I drink multiple cups of coffee a day).
But there are a few.
- Cannot make large quantity of coffee in one single brew, will have to make coffee in batches
- Pre-made cups (K-Cups) are expensive, if not bought in bulk (BUT I use a reusable coffee pod which uses ground coffee- this is safer on the environment too since most pods are not recyclable or bio-degradable)
- Many do not make specialty coffee (cappuccino, latte, etc)- you would need a espresso machine which get expensive
- Milk frothers (if model offers it) can clog if not regularly cleaned
- If you want multiple cups of coffee, then you will have to prepare them separately, but it’s no big deal because a single cup coffee maker heats up and dispenses coffee fast.
- Not as rich flavor as drip coffee, so good coffee, but not great coffee
Things to Consider Before Choosing Specific Robot Vacuum
If you have never used or had a single cup coffee maker then I would suggest a simpler model instead of a fancier one.
Later, after you get used to it, you can upgrade to something more advanced.
However, if you want options, then you will find some very elaborate models.
Here are some more things to keep in mind with this item on my list of gadget gifts for women.
- Coffee strength mode options: mild, strong
- Cup serving size options: 8 oz, 12 oz, 16 oz
- Size, design, color, and counter space
- Water capacity of reservoir: some bigger than others, refill less often- annoying to constantly refill
- Will need descaling kits to clean out inside from time-to-time
- Milk frother if you want to make cappuccinos and lattes
- Iced coffee capability
- Removable drip tray
- Programmable for breakfast ready coffee off a timer
- Heat up speed
- Height distance between spout and tray mug sits on- tall travel mugs may not fit underneath (will have to transfer coffee from wide, shorter mug into tall, travel mug)
- Price of pods (if model requires pods)
- Availability of pods (Nespresso machines not as available as Keurig- cannot interchange them, completely different)
Mad Raven Reviews Most Versatile, Quality Pick
Keurig K-Elite Coffee Maker, Single Serve K-Cup Pod Coffee Brewer
This is the one I have and I am more than pleased with the pour cup size options (4, 6, 8, 10, 12 oz) and large capacity 75 fluid oz water reservoir (takes about 8 cups before refill), and you can choose strength of coffee. Plus, super fast to heat up, less than one minute.

CONs
- Must completely remove water reservoir to refill- may have to pull whole unit away from wall depending where you place it
- No water-level indicator light- must view from close range and to the side
- Only makes regular coffee- not cappuccinos or lattes- need espresso machine with milk frother
6. Pressure Cooker
Easiest, fastest, hands-off way to cook tasty full meals
Why She'd Want a Pressure Cooker
Easiest, fastest, hands-off way to cook tasty full meals.
Just drop in the ingredients and the pressure cooker does the rest.
Even if you enjoy cooking, you don’t always have the luxury of time to invest into making a good meal that everyone wants to eat.
The pressure cooker solves that.
Prepare a full, mouth watering meals in under an hour with little prep work and just a few ingredients.
It tenderizes and makes fall-off-the-bone juicy meats.
Easy-to-use great for novice cooks too.
Plus, it’s healthy it retains more nutrients.
And with less dirty pots, pans, and dishes there’s less clean up.
Downsides
With simplicity comes downsides.
There are limitations on a variety of dishes, the pressure cooker cannot make anything you throw into it.
- Best for simple dishes.
- Prepare for leftovers, you might eat the same dish for a few days (that could be a good thing too though if you want to cook once)
- Cannot do fried foods.
- You cannot cook certain ingredients together at same time, they will not reach their desired cooking results. (example: meat might overcook before potatoes are done, etc). May have to drop in ingredients in intervals.
- Cannot check on cooking progress or you release the built-up pressured steam and must start over…
… and thus you cannot adjust seasoning to suit your desired flavor
- Likely to make pasta mushy
Things to Consider Before Choosing Specific Pressure Cooker
Consider what user-friendly features you desire and do you want a basic, starter pressure cooker or something more elaborate?
Here are some more things to keep in mind with this item on my list of gadget gifts for women.
- Read ratings and reviews for cooking rice (not mushy)
- Pre-set, click-and-go cooking modes for specific foods: soups, meats, stews, chicken, rice, fish, veggies, beans
- User-friendly, intuitive controls
- LCD displays vs dials for gauging pressure, temperature and cooking time, timer
- Special functions: delayed start (if waiting a few minutes to initiate cooking), keeping food warm after cooking complete
- Air fryer capability (if you want all-in-one style pressure cooker)
- Proper lid fastening indicator (signals if not completely closed or food will not cook through)
- Easy-to-clean (read reviews)
- Durability rating (again read reviews)
- Size and capacity (what portion-size meals do you plan on?)
- Color and design

7. Air Fryer
Great Fried Taste, but Healthy to Eat
Why She'd Want an Air Fryer
Imagine eating your favorite fried foods, BUT… instead of being bad for you they are healthy for you.
That’s the benefit of an air fryer.
This item on my list of kitchen gadget gifts for women can change your lives.
It creates tasty, healthy, less fatty meals since it uses less oil or none.
Instead of heating up fatty oil, it heats up hot air- the same technology as convection ovens with fans circulating the hot air.
The food still comes out crunchy, which makes losing weight easier since you enjoy what you eat.
Cooks food thoroughly from all angles making for better consistent texture and enjoyment
Prepares meals faster than from stovetop- preheats in minutes
Cooks multiple dishes simultaneously (depends on model)
Safer, no burns from hot oil like traditional fryers
Multiple cooking methods for more desirable flavor and texture meal options (fry, roast, grill, bake, steam)
Easy to use: Good for novice cooks or busy people with other important things to do
And air fryers are easy to clean.
Downsides
If you simply want to replace your deep fryer with an air fryer you won’t find many downsides. But I would look for for a model with a fryer basket to prepare foods you’d normally heat up in microwave.
- Mostly only prepares small-sized portions. Check for model’s capacity.
(For families, would have to cook meal in batches and keep already cooked food warm or reheat.)
- Takes up counter space
- Does not replace a toaster oven- (example: pizza does not fit)
- Not all models allow for a fryer basket to do certain frozen foods (example: chicken nuggets, burritos), may have to use microwave or toaster oven for those
Things to Consider Before Choosing Specific Air Fryer
When choosing the right air fryer focus on cooking capacity of main compartment, quality of frying (check reviews) and for size capacity of fry basket
Here are some more things to keep in mind with this item on my list of gadget gifts for women.
- Crispness and crunchiness of fry quality
- Start-to-finish cook time
- Design and color: Simple or More Versatile? do you prefer digital buttons, dials, and does it have a easy-to-pull-out drawer for frying fries and nuggets to check doneness and to cook other foods in main chamber
- Fryer basket size: know what food you want to air fry
- Size and capacity for the foods you typically eat, and for amount of people you cook for
- Food separator for prepping multiple meals at once
- Presets: cooking modes, timer, temperature
- Wattage: for power to cook thicker meats (read labels) and to ensure you outlet supports the power
- Extra features: rotisserie, fryer basket, dehydrator
- Size for counter space
- Noise levels: the fans can make it quite noisy (read reviews)
- Ease-of-cleaning

8. Spice Rack or Carousel
Finally, Easy to Find Your Seasonings
Why She'd Want a Spice Rack or Carousel
A spice rack of carousel makes for one of the most used kitchen gadget gifts for women on this list.
If you do not cook then you wouldn’t know how much of a huge pain in the ass it is to wade your way through crowds of spice bottles in your cabinet to get to the right one, while knocking over others.
- Opens up cabinet space to store other items besides spices.
- Prevents spices from expiring because you can see what you have
- Prevents from running out of a spice because you can see what you have
- Organize by your favorites or by category
- Can use Lazy Susan (revolving cabinet) for something else
Downsides
The only real downside is counter space if you choose a carousel design or choosing the wrong rack that does not hold all of your main spices or they just don’t fit on the unit.
Things to Consider Before Choosing Specific Spice Rack or Carousel
If you store spices in a cabinet then you will absolutely benefit from a spice rack or carousel. But you must choose the right one what will hold all of your spices (at least your most-used ones).
Decide where you will put or install your spice rack and if you want to transfer spices into spice jars or just keep them in the store-bought bottles.
Here are some more things to keep in mind with this item on my list of gadget gifts for women.
- Where you’ll put it (hanging on pantry door, in cabinet, countertop, inside pull out slot and rail in kitchen)
- Will spice bottles fall off easily
- Design (drawer, revolving carousel, color, material)
- How many spices she has (might need to buy more than one rack or carousel)
- Size of spice bottles (if you do not get unit with uniform-sized spice jars)
- How many spices she frequently uses
- Does it include spice jars and labels
- Sturdiness– will it fall apart or tip over
- Installation (if required)
- Compartment sizes big enough (spice bottles come in many sizes)
- Does she ONLY buy spice in bulk size bottles (commercial kitchen size), big containers (choose appropriate rack or carousel- unless she transfers spices to jars)
- Easy-to-assemble
- Slip-proof with rubber feet

9. Waffle Maker and Pancake Batter Mixer
Quick, Easy-to-Make, On-the-go Breakfasts
Why She'd Want a Waffle Maker and Pancake Batter Mixer
I love breakfast.
I’m am VERY GOOD at making die-for breakfasts.
Except, one thing…
… I am not a morning person.
I do not like to take time to cook in the morning.
But a waffle maker AND a pancake batter mixer makes it much easier to make the kinds of breakfasts that are worth taking the time to cook… FAST…
…including hash browns and breakfast sandwiches.
Pancake/waffle batter makes a mess when you pour onto the pan or griddle.
A pancake batter mixer like the one I suggest here would be a godsend.
Ideal for quick, on-the-go breakfasts, including waffles, breakfast sandwiches, hash browns, paninis.
Downsides
- While multi-use, primarily for waffles, need space in cabinet to store
- Not very useful if do not make waffles or other breakfast items mentioned
- If single-serve waffle maker cannot make many at once, must make in batches for families
Things to Consider Before Choosing Specific Robot Vacuum
Waffle irons are very simple kitchen gadgets, mostly look for sturdiness and non-stick surface.
You want something that’s easy to clean. You can purchase cleaning spray designed for waffle irons.
Here are some more things to keep in mind with this item on my list of gadget gifts for women.
- Ready-to-cook light
- Size of waffles: Diameter of waffle iron
- Temperature gauges
- Non-stick cooking surface
- Power: Does it makes golden-brown crisp waffles or floppy waffles?
- Drip pans
- Heat up time
- How tightly iron shuts: batter could seep out and create a mess (read reviews)
- Sturdy material

10. Vegetable Chopper
Cut Prep Time Down to Half, a Cook's Dream
Why She'd Want a Vegetable Chopper
Most meals include some kind of vegetables, and most of them need cut.
The most mundane and time-involving task of cooking is cutting the fruits and vegetables.
Veggie choppers is also one of the most useful and used gadget gifts for women item on this list.
A vegetable chopper, will literally chop that time in half or even more.
Convenience is not the only benefit to this kitchen gadget.
- You can also create more desirable and fancy cuts. (julienne homemade French fries, finely cut radishes or carrots for salads, spiral shavings, veggie pasta, veggie chips)
- Safer from cutting with knife
- Even-sized cut pieces, better presentation
- Some models chop and drop the veggies straight into container: which saves time, creates less mess, and is easier to store food
- Multi-purpose (based on model) chop, slice, cut, peel, dice (fine chop)
- Electric veggie choppers even easier and faster to chop
Downsides
