I believe in keeping a streamlined kitchen with only the gadgets that you need and use on a regular basis. However, I definitely have 6 small spatulas like the ones shown in the picture here that I go through every, single day. The different scoop sizes and shapes of the silicone heads make it easy to scrape ingredients from cups, jars, and mixing bowls. This is such a simple little gadget, but I guarantee you'll want to keep several on hand when you're cooking more than one dish or when you're meal prepping for the week. This would be a really fun stocking-stuffer, gift for your college student or someone with goals to develop their cooking skills this season.
