    1. A set of fun size tools that may be little, but can do big (and delicious) things.

    2. A sassy oven mitt for anyone who enjoys delivering sick burns to everyone but themselves.

    3. This little piggy who has three simple goals in life: 1) to hold your spoon; 2) to prevent said spoon from making a darn mess of your kitchen counter; 3) to make cooking, like, a million times cuter.

    4. A genius meal planning pad that lets you map out your munchies for every day of the week, make your shopping list as you go, then tear off the list when you're ready to hit the store!

    5. A genius prep bowl with a cutout lid and interchangeable inserts that'll allow even the most inexperienced chefs do a grate job with any task, from mixing to slicing.

    6. "Special Shit" seasoning, which'll live up to its name and make everything from meat to seafood to veggies extra tasty. 'Tis always the season to season!

    7. A wearable palm peeler to make fruit and veggie prep much easier and, therefore, more a-peeling.

    8. A sweet set of kitty cat spoons, because even folks who don't consider cooking to be a chore can benefit from the encouragement of these little smiles just for good meowsure.

    9. A game-changing dicer that's an absolute must-have for anyone who hates chopping veggies. Plus, it makes cutting onions without tears a breeze. Now, if only it could stop you from sobbing at every episode of This Is Us.

    10. A nonstick mini griddle for cooking up perfect single-person servings of eggs, meat, skillet cookies, paninis, and so much more. Griddle me this: Is there anything you can't make on this baby?
