Are there any spices you know you need, or always use?

I love cajun spices and would like to try out different types of salts. A good Italian blend (for sauces) would be fun to play with).

What colors are your kitchen? Do you need/would you use new potholders?

Currently white cabinets, red walls. I’m trying to gather stuff for when I move out, so potholders would be useful – I plan on having a kitchen filled with Hello Kitty appliances. So a cute theme (for any kitchen stuff) would work best.

Any small kitchen gadgets you like, need, want or desire?

As I mentioned, I’m trying to gather stuff to move out so small kitchen stuff that would be appreciated:

Can opener

Peeler

Salt & Pepper shakers

Spiciness

Medium.

Alcohol

I do enjoy it – I love cooking with it.

things for the grill?

I don’t think so, though spices, marinades, and/or recipes for grilling would be great.

would you prefer mostly made stuff that you can just open the box and eat? or ingredients that you can turn into something else? a combination? just whatever i feel like sending?

Whatever you feel like sending is fine (though I do enjoy cooking and need some inspiration).
