You know what’s really satisfying? Spotting a product in a celebrity’s Instagram video, finding a lookalike and realizing it’s attainable for the average person. Score! That’s how we felt when we spied Giada De Laurentiis eating with gorgeous gold utensils, which she’s done in many an Instagram Reel. Sure, those pieces look fancy, but we were able to dig up a wildly affordable, dead ringer: the Ewfen 30-Piece Gold Flatware Set. It’s on sale at Amazon, so whether you’re hosting Thanksgiving or simply want to zhuzh up your table, you’ll want to add it to your cart spoon, er, soon.

We’re taking a tip from King Midas and swapping all of our humdrum cutlery for these shimmery stunners. They’d make eating a bowl of Easy Mac feel like a five-star meal.
For transparency’s sake, we’ve never seen this set retail for its listed “original price” of $50. That said, you’re getting 30 pieces — enough for six people — for just $29, or less than $1 a pop. Similar sets can set you back $50 or more, so this is still a bargain.
There’s just something about using a gold fork to spread butter on toast that makes the mundane act feel a bit more special — and who wouldn’t want a little more joy throughout the day? With the Ewfen Gold Flatware Set, you’ll be able to share the love with family and friends, many of whom are sure to ask for the product link once they catch sight of your snazzy table settings.
Included are six dinner forks, salad forks, dinner spoons, tea spoons and dinner knives, all made of sturdy stainless steel with a matte finish. The tapered handles (a la Giada’s) are a sleek touch, though details like the circular spoons and rounded knife blades add a bit of whimsy. Yes, you could save them for special occasions, but life is short — use the pretty forks, we say!
Amazon customers are praising this shiny set for its high-quality look and feel.
“I was looking at similar options at World Market and Wayfair, which were easily double, or triple the price!” explained one buyer. “They’re solid and have a heavy feeling that you get with a good-quality utensil. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Top notch,” agreed another. “This product has weight! They don’t feel or look cheap at all; they feel and look expensive. A nice statement piece. Easy to hold, I would definitely recommend.”
“I get so many compliments on my flatware,” shared a third. “I love them and they make me feel so fancy!”
“I really love this set so far,” wrote a generally pleased shopper. “Doesn’t bend easily and looks great. My only small complaint is the small forks are a little too small and the big forks too big.”
“So cute and stylish,” raved a final fan. “Decided to upgrade my kitchen sets, and this was the perfect finishing touch. The only thing I don’t like is that they’re not dishwasher-safe.” (Worth noting: Several reviewers say they’ve put them through the dishwasher and they’re no worse for the wear.)

This set might cost just $29, but we’d argue it’s worth its weight in … well, you know.Â
Another Giada De Laurentiis fave? This unassuming kitchen essential:
Amazon
GIR stands for Get It Right — and they do! In an interview with USA Today about her favorite kitchen products, De Laurentiis says she “can’t live without” the brand’s spatula.Â
It’s made of one piece of silicone — making it more durable and easier to clean — and strikes just the right balance between being stiff enough to work through thick doughs and batters, yet flexible enough to get into the corners of bowls and pans to ensure everything gets mixed evenly (and scraped out). Its slim profile allows it to fit into tough-to-reach places, like inside your food processor’s bowl, and because it’s made of platinum-grade silicone that’s heat-resistant up to 550°F, you don’t have to worry about it melting if you accidentally leave it in a hot pan. As opposed to metal tools, this won’t scratch the coatings of your pots and pans, and its grippy handle allows for more confident stirring.
