Jenn recently asked me to select and describe three of my online store’s “best” gift items for moms. I thought, “Well, I have over over 750 kitchen tools on my online store! How can I pick three? How do I decide?”

What follows are not my overstocked items nor items that I think a busy mom MUST have but instead the first three items I selected when I started my store last year. I started My Kitchen Depot because I felt that a lot of home cooks feel overwhelmed by the selection available at a lot of retailers. Too many kitchen gadgets are also just that—gadgets that clutter space—not tools to save time.
