Um...things you need, etc.

hammer
flat and phillips head screw driver

wire coat hanger - unbend, leave a hook at the end to clean hair from drain :-)

plain white plates (mine are earthenware from crate & barrel...they never break) go with everything so you can change placemats, tableclothes with the season and not get bored.

always use a cutting board, never your counter!

flashlights, weather radio, candles, lantern, matches,
etc for when the power goes out. I keep everything together in one place.

That's all I can think of right now.
