CACTUS!

I love how the open-work design lets me see exactly how many sugar packets are left before I run out. It's sturdy enough to sit on the counter without sliding around, and the Italian look is a nice conversation starter.

The stainless steel feels solid and heavy in hand, and the cactus cutout is much more detailed than I expected from photos. It holds my tea bags neatly without looking cluttered on the counter, and the open-work design lets everything dry fast after washing.

I was expecting a gimmick, but this little cactus-shaped holder actually sits perfectly on the counter and catches every stray tea bag without dripping. The open-work steel design is surprisingly sturdy and easy to rinse clean.
