Somm-Approved Prime Day Picks: Boards, Wine Tools, Hydration & Wellness Must-Haves!

It’s Prime Day, which means it’s the perfect time to stock up on some sommelier-approved essentials—whether you’re entertaining, traveling, sipping, or recovering. I’ve rounded up a few of my current favorites that I personally use and love, and I think you will too.

These are perfect for summer, wine nights, and keeping your body feeling good on the go.

🧀 BOARD OBSESSION: Stylish & Functional Serving Boards

Whether I’m hosting an event, road-tripping with snacks, or just want a pretty presentation for wine and cheese, a great board makes all the difference.

🧳 Cover & Board
This one is genius. You can chop on one side, serve on the other, and then pop the cover back on for easy, clean travel. Whether it’s in the car or in your picnic basket, it’s built to move with you—stylish and smart!

🌲 The Virginia Boys Board
Crafted beautifully and super sturdy, this board adds rustic charm to any gathering. I love it for charcuterie, cheese spreads, or even as a wine night centerpiece. A timeless kitchen staple.

🍷 FOR THE WINE LOVERS: A Sommelier-Approved Aerator (Yes, Really)

As someone who’s trained to swirl, sniff, and sip professionally, I’m usually not into gadgets—but this one actually surprised me!

✨ Üllo Wine Aerator
This aerator is sleek, well-designed, and really enhances your wine—especially younger reds or even natural wines that need to open up. Whether you’re hosting or just pouring yourself a glass after a long day, this tool is worth adding to your wine arsenal.

💧 HYDRATION ON POINT: For Long Days and Travel Recovery

Between events, travel, and wine tastings, staying hydrated is essential. These are always in my tote, suitcase, or kitchen drawer!

💦 Cure Hydration Packets
Clean, effective hydration without the junk. I love the flavors, and they really work. Perfect for post-workout, hot days, or before a big event.

💤 WIND DOWN WITH WELLNESS: Magnesium for Pain + Sleep

Tight muscles and sleepless nights? Not anymore. This spray is part of my nightly ritual.

🛌 Art Naturals Magnesium Oil Spray
This magnesium spray is a must. It helps relieve soreness and promotes deep, restful sleep—two essentials for anyone with a busy, active lifestyle. A few spritzes before bed and you’ll feel it working.

✨ Kitchen Organization That Actually Works

When you’re juggling events, wine tastings, and everyday life, staying organized in the kitchen is key. I recently discovered the Decorably Magnetic Meal Planner + Grocery List and I’m genuinely obsessed. This sleek and simple two-pack includes a weekly meal planner and a grocery list, both magnetic, so they stick right on the fridge—keeping your meals and shopping goals front and center. It’s perfect for meal prep, tracking your week, and never forgetting that one thing at the store again. Highly recommend for fellow busy bees who still want beautiful kitchen vibes.

🧼 Clean Tools, Happy Kitchen

I’m all about functional beauty, and this ergonomic kitchen scrub brush from my Amazon storefront is one of those underrated stars in the kitchen. It makes clean-up after cheese boards, wine nights, or cooking classes so much easier. The grip is great, the bristles hold up over time, and it looks sleek by the sink. If you’re building a well-stocked and stylish kitchen, don’t skip the little things—they make a big difference.

☀️ Summer Must-Have: My Favorite Blow-Up Pool

Tennessee summers are no joke, and while I’m not digging an in-ground pool just yet, this inflatable three-ring pool has been a game changer. It’s the perfect way to cool down with a glass of rosé in hand. Easy to inflate, super comfy, and ideal for patios, yards, or impromptu chill days—it’s my new summer staple. Trust me, once you lounge in one with a snack tray nearby, you’ll get it.

🥗 Chef-Approved: Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls That Do It All

As a chef and entertaining expert, I can confidently say these Priority Chef Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls with Graters + Lids are everything. You can prep, mix, grate, and store all in one stylish and stackable set. From citrus zest and chopped nuts to summer slaws and marinated salads, these bowls have completely streamlined my prep process. Whether I’m hosting wine dinners or prepping for a private event, I finally have the perfect system for creating and storing with style. Be sure to check out my Reels—these bowls are truly an essential for any home chef or serious entertainer.

🍇 Chic & Plastic-Free: The Glass Lunch Container I’m Loving

Meet your new favorite lunch companion—the Ai Love Peace Glass Lunch Container. Ideal for summer fruit, dumplings, salads, and beach day leftovers, this chic container is the definition of sustainable style. I use it for fruit salads and quick lunches on the go, and it even includes the cutest little dip or dressing jar (yes, it fits!). The silicone lid seals tightly, and the collapsible fork makes it extra travel-friendly. It’s microwave safe, chillable, and perfect for wine picnics or desk lunches with a side of class.

🍜 Ramen To-Go, Reinvented

For my soup-lovers and flavor adventurers, this Ramen Bowl Set with collapsible utensils and chopsticks built into the lid is pure genius. Whether it’s poolside ramen or a cold noodle salad, I love how compact, cute, and versatile this bowl is. I often make Asian-inspired soups or grain bowls for my own lunch, and now I have something that not only travels well—but also looks great doing it. This is my go-to container for anything slurp-worthy, warm or cold.
