One of these 13 gadgets could be the hero your junk drawer needs (here's why)

This mini box cutter from Slice is a staple. I now have one in my office drawer, one in my console table by the door for heavy deliveries, and one in my kitchen junk drawer. They slice open boxes with ease and little effort, and they're the perfect size for tossing into a drawer. The blade is made of ceramic for extra durability and sharpness, and the outside is magnetic, too, 

Sure, you can keep this somewhere else, but this is one of my favorite junk drawer stash items. It makes it easy to weigh my bags before I arrive at the airport, and it eases travel stress for just $10. This is probably one of my best purchases yet.

For heavier boxes and larger packages, Slice's bigger box cutter is also essential. Like the smaller box cutter, it slices with ease and precision, and includes a curved ergonomic handle for added safety and comfort. There's also a ceramic blade that can cut through cardboard, vinyl, cardstock, tape, and more. 

An extra pair of scissors is key for any good junk drawer. They come in handy for so many things, and I always appreciate having them on hand so I can keep my kitchen scissors reserved for just food. 

You can never have too many charger blocks, in my experience. I like keeping this Anker wall adapter in my kitchen junk drawer, thanks to its two-port design. The USB-A and USB-C design allows me to charge my phone and devices, as well as other random gadgets like my cat's wireless water fountain. 

This $7 tiny tool is the best gadget for items wrapped in shrink wrap or thin cellophane that's difficult to slice open with scissors or larger blades. It's a tiny ceramic blade that's perfect for everyday life. 

This electric lighter is easy to use and rechargeable via USB-C. It's perfect for lighting candles, grilling, and more, and I rarely need to recharge it. It's a great alternative to traditional lighters or matches. 

Perfect for lifting stickers, price tags, and other annoying adhesives, this scraper is such a staple household tool. I've used it on several kitchen appliances that had leftover adhesive on them from installation and unpacking. 

I actually keep this bladed tool with my wrapping paper and gift bags, but it cuts through paper like butter, making it easy to maintain a clean line all the way through. Plus, it minimizes hand cramping. It's going to be a game-changer this holiday season.
