1. An ice cube tray with a ~lid~ because this way you won't spill any water all over your freezer (we've all been there) before you get creative with new cocktails. Since this is made of silicone, it's also super easy to remove the cubes!

8. A mortar and pestle for your favorite guacamole recipe, or grinding your favorite spices. There is nothing more satisfying than taking out all your feelings and going to town crushing ingredients for your favorite recipe.

18. A utensil storage container, because you need a spot to hold all your new and old utensils. I love how simple this one is, and how it will match any style of decor in your home.

20. A box of ~pre-cut~ cookie baking sheets to make your kitchen clean-up a lot less tedious. Once you discover these sheets, you're never going back. This is perfect for the lazy cook because instead of greasing your baking sheet, you can just throw on one of these.
