    With these items within arm's reach, cooking is going to be a breeze.

    1. A cutting board with a pour spout because it'll make cleanup after prep a breeze. On the other side (yes, it's double-sided!), there's even a slot to hold your phone for when you're looking up recipes or following along with a YouTube video.

    2. A small knife sharpener to make your knives work like new again. Bonus points for not taking up extra space in the kitchen!

    3. A handheld mixer complete with three different attachments for whisking, frothing, and blending. The design is fully electric with a copper motor, which means no tired arms when you're making your favorite meals. It also features an ergonomic, comfy, nonslip handle!

    4. A set of reusable air fryer liners to make cleanup a breeze. Because these babies are made of silicone, you'll get years of use!

    10. An onion holder you can actually use for anything you want to slice with ease. With this, vegetables, fruit, and even cutting meat can be done without any worry of uneven slices. (And as a non-cook, I love not having to worry about my fingers!)

    13. A set of four cabinet shelf organizers that'll give you maximum use of your cabinet space. They're stackable, too! Which will be helpful when you want to save room for taller items.
