housewares
Domestic kitchen items
Housewares are the goods and equipment used in a home, especially in the kitchen and for cleaning.
The term typically covers cookware, bakeware, small appliances, storage containers, and cleaning supplies—practical items rather than furniture or décor.
Department stores often have a housewares section where you can find everything from spatulas to dish racks.
We registered for housewares before the wedding.
