A pair of herb scissors to make adding extra fresh flavor to recipes a no brainer.

A steamer that makes healthy fish, poultry, shellfish, veggies (and even dumplings!) in no time flat.
The steamer has two steam bowls to cook veggies and meat separately, with a five-quart total capacity overall. It has a 60-minute auto-off timer, so it will shut off when the food is done, or when the water is gone. Just add water to the bottom, set the timer, and you're all done!
Promising review: "Love the small space it takes up in my cabinet, but large steaming capacity with both trays. It works perfectly and unlike the other steamers I’ve had, it doesn’t have multiple parts to the base. Easy to use, clean and store. –Colleen
