First apartment faux pas: you make a meal and realize you don’t have enough utensils to both prep and serve food (i.e. using a bowl to scoop soup into another bowl because oops, no ladle). This set includes tongs, a can opener, grater, peeler, spatula, ice cream scooper, and whisk—everything you need to get yourself cooking.

Vertical Lever Corkscrew(Opens in a new window)

How are you going to pop open that celebratory bottle of wine without a corkscrew? This one is the simplest possible kind to use and has a built-in foil cutter to make bottle-opening even easier. Bonus: it’s packaged in a very giftable cigar-style box. Don't forget the wine stoppers to keep it fresh if you can't finish the whole bottle (though we won't tell if you do).

Spray Mop(Opens in a new window)

Mops are not glamorous gifts, nope, but they are definitely pragmatic gifts (especially for someone who has a knack for spilling things, a.k.a. all of us). This spray mop has a microfiber pad that grabs and traps dirt for deep cleaning, plus it has a built in scrubber for extra-tough spots.
