Okay, there are a couple of veggies I’m not crazy about radishes, bell peppers, but for the most part, I’ve never met a vegetable I didn’t like. They spend hours loving laboring over a hot stove for the friends and family and actually enjoy it. I love to eat, but the thought of chopping, steaming, sauteeing and baking the perfect meal leaves me reaching for the takeout menu. One of the problems I have as a single chick living alone is using my fruits and vegetables before they go bad.

Are you looking for a hostess gift or wedding gift to give someone this summer? This adorable cutlery drainer is not only a conversation piece, but it’s also just the right size for all your flatware and kitchen utensils. Its elephant shape is not only whimsical but practical; the trunk acts as a drain. The one you see here is the jumbo size, but if you live in a smaller space, or don’t have that much flatware, you can also get it in the smaller size.

A chic coffee pot can part of your permanent kitchen decor. Sure it’s not your standard Mr. Coffee Coffee Pot, but there’s something to be said for brewing the old school way. I’ve owned Simple Human trash cans in the past, and I love them. This set from Luvide comes with a can opener, pizza cutter, garlic press, nutcracker, wine opener, wine stopper, ice cream scoop and a veggie peeler.

In the city, more often than not, if you do have an outdoor area, it’s either partially or entirely covered with concrete. While I’m the last one to complain about being outdoors, even if there is ne’er a plant in sight, there’s nothing like a backyard of grass to roll around on. Here’s one solution, a Day Bed made of grass! It’s basically a raised garden bed, but instead of veggies, you’re growing grass!
