Enjoy fresh Twinkies whenever the mood strikes with this Twinkie Bake Set ($26). The kit includes everything you need for multiple batches, including a spatula, baking pan, recipe book, Twinkie container, and — wait for it — an icing injector.
We're suckers for beautiful kitchen gadgets, and the Alessi Pop-Up Bottle Opener ($47) is no exception. Made from stainless steel, one simply presses down on this simple ovoid-shaped object to open the bottle below, while the cap is held by a magnet inside the opener, keeping caps from flying around your room. Simple, functional, and gorgeous.

A free Wüsthof Handheld Knife Sharpener is also included.
We've covered ice cream makers before, but never one that makes soft serve, and certainly not any this topping-friendly. The Cuisinart Mix It In Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker ($80) can make 1.5 quarts of fresh soft serve ice cream in just 20 minutes, and features built-in containers for toppings like sprinkles, chips, or candy pieces, that can be mixed directly into the ice cream and into your bowl by simply pulling a tab. Vanilla cone with Reese's Cup bits, here we come.
Gnaw on some leftover holiday nuts with this handsome Stainless Steel Nutcracker ($34). Simply screw down and the cracker opens the hardest of shells.
