 | Vita-Mix 1320 Professional Series, Platinum
Buy new: $498.95 If you're very serious about your smoothies and soups. There are a few different models. When I got mine, it changed everything. I never used my regular blender, stick blender, food processor, or chopper again. I love this machine. If you can afford it, get the new 5200 version.

 | J.A. Henckels Twin Gourmet 7-Inch Santoku Knife
A Santuko knife is great for chopping veggies because things don't stick to the blade as much. These come in all price ranges. I actually have the higher-end Henckels (about $90), but I wanted to pick a medium priced version for this list. I'd rather see people spend the big money on the Vitamix.
