Hosting friends and family during pre-holiday festivities, shopping all the good sales [1], and of course cosy cuddle weather — these are just some of the many things we love about November. It truly is the one time a year when we love being at home, having people over, and most of all spending time in the kitchen cooking and baking. Because we're shoppers at heart, we can't help but want to buy a few things to add to our arsenal this month [2].
To offer you some shopping inspiration, we curated a list of the 19 things we're currently dreaming about adding to our kitchen and dining room right now. From cool gadgets [3] that'll get the job done to beautiful glassware [4], and even a great coffee maker (because we need the caffeine too), these finds are exactly what you need to treat yourself. Keep reading to shop our favourites [5].
