If handcrafted tableware and maximalist decor are your weakness, then surely you've heard of MacKenzie-Childs. Since 1983, the furniture and home brand has made shoppers' spaces infinitely more whimsical with its one-of-a-kind pieces you simply can't find anywhere else. Perhaps you're already a member of the brand's cult following; in that case, you most likely know all about the MacKenzie-Childs Barn Sale that only happens once a year. If it doesn't ring a bell, no worries—I've got all the tea on the brand's biggest and best savings event of 2024, happening now through July 22. And let's just say the deals on scented candles and tea kettles aren't the only ones that are piping hot.

Prepare to find thousands of fan-favorite items at up to 60 percent off. Like this giftable My Mug for only $19 and this super chic, yet very useful, Sterling Check utensil holder (originally $89; now $59). Better yet, new items will be added *every day* of the sale, so you'll never run out of unique must-buys to add-to-cart. But as Rebecca Proctor, the brand's Creative Director and Chief Brand Officer, warns, you'll have to act fast because the best deals will go quickly.

Don't know where to begin? I've rounded up eight of the brand's fun and functional essentials to help get you started.

A little birdie told me that you're tired of your boring old tea kettle. So consider this 2-quart option, with a black-and-white hand-painted check print that'll instantly add pizazz to your kitchen. Its steel frame, ceramic glaze and bronzed stainless-steel rim ensures that it boils water to perfection, while its pretty wooden handle and lid adorned with a faux-cinnabar bead make it worthy of showing off on your stovetop.

Your go-to pitcher (or vase, for that matter) will take a back seat to this floral-adorned beauty that turns any occasion into a summer garden party. It has a 7-cup capacity to hold whatever you're stirring up: lemonade, iced tea, sangria, etc. And despite its glazed steel underbody, it's even dishwasher-friendly (although you may want to hand-wash to keep those hand-applied botanicals looking fresh for longer).

At 8.5 inches high, this special utensil holder is extra-tall for a reason: to fit even the longest of your wooden spoons and spatulas. The delicate grey checks are hand-painted by artisans, so even if you buy two of these holders, they'll each be one-of-a-kind. In that case, it could be a cool gift idea for that friend who always hosts impromptu dinner parties.

4. MacKenzie-Childs My Mug

With elegant packaging and an affordable price tag of just $19, this dishwasher-safe ceramic mug is by far the most giftable item on this list (although you'll probably want one for yourself, too). And yes, it's available in various monogram options, so you can match up the letter with your or your giftee's initial. The eye-catching black-and-white pattern is what makes it a winner, and likely the reason it'll become their new go-to coffee mug or pen holder.

Whether you want a dedicated container for cotton balls in your bathroom or matching vessels for spices in the kitchen, this set of three hand-painted and glazed canisters will get the job done in style. Plus, they have a silicone-seal lid to ensure whatever's inside stays secure until you open it up from the pretty glass knob.

I'm obsessed with this checkered indoor-outdoor floor mat, which clocks in at 2 feet 6 inches wide and 8 feet long, so it can easily cover a hallway. Better yet, it's made of slip-resistant vinyl, which will prove useful in high-traffic areas. The Courtly Check print and striped border are obviously the main attraction here, instantly adding a cool, retro vibe to your space. P.S. You can easily wipe it down with warm water and soap to keep it looking as good as new.

Hello, Regencycore! The elegant blue florals printed along the edge are what originally sold me on this wall mirror. Once I found out that it can be hung horizontally *or* vertically, thanks to the D-ring hardware attached at the back, I couldn't resist. So, really, the discount is just a cherry on top. And just so you know, the mirror is 17.75 inches wide, 27.75 inches tall and 2.5 inches deep, so you shouldn't have a problem fitting it in the corner of your bedroom, living room or near the front door.

If you've been searching for sleek plates that will instantly upgrade your tablescape, look no further than this set of four glazed-steel appetizer plates. Wondering how they look this good? Well, they're hand-painted and glossed with a hint of jewel-tone shine, so just thank the artisan who created them. If you plan to get the matching dinner plates, or just wanted a pop of color and against your simple dinnerware, they're too cute (and too good a deal) to pass up on. Boasting a 5-inch diameter, these babies will also leave plenty of room for your guests to grab the Hors d'oeuvres you have laid out.
