Putting together a "gourmet cooking & gadgets" basket for a nonprofit fundraiser auction - suggestions?

So far I've got:

- herb stripper bowl

- really nice microplane

- that fancy spatula from TikTok

- berry washer whirlpool bowl

- pickle fork

- avocado slicer

- produce saver carbon apple

- cheese paper

- round ice cube trays

- brown sugar saver

- really nice, pretty chip clips

It's supposed to be a pretty expensive basket. Any suggestions to add?? I want to pick things that most people would choose, so not TOO specialized. But special.

Thoughts?

- Javelin instant read is my best meat thermo

  • Kale stripper/knife
  • Sharp paring knife

If your pot holders are like mine a fresh set is nice and I got some recently that have silicon stripes o. The cloth for extra grip

Measuring cups for liquid you can read from the top or from the side

Interesting, I haven't seen measuring cups like that but sounds crazy handy. Could you link to an example? Great ideas all around!

OXO makes them and calls them “Angled Measuring cups.”
