We’ve made it to the first few days of June, meaning it’s time to look back at what our community loved from last month. May was filled with new arrivals<\/a>, sales<\/a>, and gearing up for the summer hosting<\/a>, cooking<\/a>, and cocktail-making<\/a> season, and many of the month’s favorites reflect that.<\/p>\n To recap this year’s monthly best-seller lists so far: In January, it was all about soup. In February, dinner party and storage accessories took the spotlight. March was a big month for table settings and dinnerware, and April turned towards home improvement and outdoor dining. Now it’s time to see which summer essentials everyone stocked up on in May.<\/p>\n While some of our Shop best-sellers have maintained their spots throughout the year (the Casafina<\/a> dinnerware, our Five Two<\/a> dish rack, and the Emile Henry fruit bowl<\/a> are recurring champs), some of our newest arrivals squeezed their way into the lineup this month, too. Curious to see what else made the cut? Here are the 14 Shop items you couldn’t get enough of in May.<\/p>\n Dansk cookware pieces are the kinds of wares that home cooks and design lovers are keen to collect<\/a>. With its assortment of colors, distinct design, and long lifespan, this saucepan is an ideal piece for any kitchen collection.<\/p>\n We’re always raving about this versatile drying rack\u2014and for good reason: Not only is it compact enough to comfortably fit over the sink in even the smallest of kitchens, it also can be used to wash produce or as a trivet under hot dishes.<\/p>\n Mixing and matching the design of your dinner table is exceptionally easy with this dinnerware set. You can buy it as a single-color set or in a pre-curated, mixed-color assortment. The cherry on top? Each plate and bowl is made from sturdy stoneware and finished with a silky-smooth glaze that looks and feels great.<\/p>\n If your kitchen towel supply is running low, stock up on these waffle-textured dish towels while they’re on sale. They’re made from 100 percent Turkish cotton, come in six vibrant colors, and are machine washable.<\/p>\n Whether you’re steaming mussels, making a casserole, or whipping up a big batch of pasta, this K\u00f8benstyle casserole dish has got you covered. And like many of our Dansk<\/a> favorites, it’s available in several fun colors, too.<\/p>\n Don’t worry about accidentally breaking a glass or two during a backyard happy hour or dinner party\u2014these acrylic glasses are resilient enough to withstand even your clumsiest guest.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n If you haven’t been introduced to this impressive fruit bowl yet, let’s get you up to speed. It comes in a shallow or deep size, seven different colors, and is loved for its layered design. Produce in the bottom bowl is kept in the dark\u2014perfect for those goods that need a dark, temperature-stable space, like onions, potatoes, or not-yet-ripe fruits\u2014and the shallow top is ideal for the more fickle fruits like bananas and avocados. Plus, the clever cork rim absorbs extra moisture to keep fruit flies away.<\/p>\n Brush the dirt off of your shoes after a trip to the beach, park, or working in the garden, with this braided doormat. It’s available in nine colors and four different sizes, so there are plenty of options for every space.<\/p>\n If you’re needing to replace your favorite knife or looking for a new one to add to your collection, many community members flocked to these essential kitchen knives from our Five Two<\/a> line. The chef\u2019s knife is sharp enough for meats and tomatoes, the serrated knife works wonders on crusty bread that needs a little extra grip, and the paring knife\u2019s ideal for the little things.<\/p>\n Melting butter to pour over lobster rolls<\/a> is a breeze with this colorful butter warmer from Dansk<\/a>. It’s small enough to fit on the table, has a wooden handle to help with easy pouring, and comes in eight cheerful colors.<\/p>\n Add a pop of color to your table with these beautiful, bright glass plates from Luminarc<\/a>. The 18-piece set is available in mismatched warm or cool tones and include dinner plates, salad plates, and bowls.<\/p>\n These durable glasses are perfect for whatever you’re sipping on this summer\u2014whether its soda water, a cocktail, or lemonade<\/a>. The set is available in five colors or as a mixed set.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n You need a place to display your favorite baked treats like summery lemon bars<\/a>, strawberry shortcake<\/a>, and coconut pie<\/a>.
