Hmmm, I think I'll decline to do the full list. I always wondered about a small pressure cooker (already have a ginormous one for pressure canning). Are they easy to use?
One of my favorite goodies was a gift from my brother. It is a Kyocera ceramic knife with about a 5" blade. You have to be a bit careful with it as ceramic can chip or shatter (it is brittle), but the thing is freakishly sharp. Its like cutting vegetables, etc. with a razor blade. It is so sharp that most things cut with little pressure or effort on my part. If I didn't already have lots of high end steel knives from when DW worked at a vegetarian chef's school, I would be ponying up for a chef's knife made of this stuff.
