Alright, that's enough of that shit. Foodie here.
You're giving ChikFilA the same kind of golden-calf praise people heap on Krispy Kreme. You've got your head so wrapped up in a lauded name-brand that you actually start to think you can taste a difference.
The bread is soggy, the veggies are limp, and you can make the same sandwich, taste and all, using some shitty "Great Value!" Wal-Mart breaded chicken strips, twenty to a bag.
And if you have your heart set on some waffle fries, just get one of these fucking things and rotate your potato 90 degrees on every cut.
I'm also not going to support sheer ignorance because someone put a maraschino cherry and whipped cream on my milkshake.

Almost all of them.
The better I get at cooking the less gadget I use. Serving & wood spoons, cheap tongs, good knives and a spider and a spatula are my main and almost only tools.
That being said there are 3 tools that may be considered gadget that I use all the time. A good quality madoline (believe me that's not a gadget!), My pasta machine that I use almost once a week and finally my avocado cutter that I use almost everyday. (I could live without the avocado tool but it's faster and we eat a lot of avocados)
Soft boiled egg actually. Link to buy. Video of use.

Already been answered but here's the exact product on Amazon in case you had any remaining doubt: Amco Avocado Slicer and Pitter.

I've recently stepped up my game in the kitchen so I want:
I bought this vegetable Chopper. I use it all the time. I hate how time consuming prepping veggies are and this helps a lot https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0764HM9BM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_9b9XBbFZDYY6Y
I'd really recommend a crank spiralizer. Much easier to clean and more versatile.
You can't. Smokes is about the closest I can find and I'm not a fan of potato skins on fries or their gravy. These days I just make my own - I get my poutine gravy from Food Basics (St. Hubert), my cheese curds from Sunripe, and my yukon gold potatoes from any grocery store. I have a counter top fryer and a fry cutter that makes life a little easier :)
> I can't wait to drop cash on a mandolin to do just this
Is this what you're talking about? When you said mandolin, I thought you were talking about the musical instrument and was really confused until I looked it up.

Yes, cut them with this thing, and then fried them twice.
http://www.amazon.com/Brieftons-Spiral-Slicer-Stainless-Spiralizer/dp/B00CBVCVLM
I bought this one, it's a little more expensive at $20. I chose it because it comes with a cleaning brush, which I can also use for my water bottle straws... those are usually $4 so it seemed like an extra bonus compared to some of the other spiralizers.
> We got the Briefton 5-blade. The suctions cups on the bottom are a bit flimsy, but we like it over all.

Never used one of these but it seems like it would do the trick https://www.amazon.com/Culina-French-Potato-Cutter-Slicing/dp/B00FX0LBGE
I don't have any experience with this product, so don't take this as a recommendation, but it should at least set you on the right track to find something you'll like.
Not sure how big you want your cubes, but you can minimize the knife work with the right tool. If you get one of these or something similar, you'd only have to cut your potato into thick slices. Then, throw it on that thing, press through the grid and voila! Cubed taters.
If you're lucky, you might be able to find one of those that can both slice as thick as you need and has a grid that will cover them to a big enough size for you, and no more knife work!
I am not sure of what you already have or what you would need, I am listing a few things on top of my head:
I use a version of this one, but in metal, and it works perfectly: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C2TT2H8/ref=sspa_mw_detail_2?psc=1
I love this one. Just used it for lunch!

UGH I JUST REMEMBERED TO FINISH THIS BRB
EDIT: Okay here it izzzz.
These are the items you are looking for... (everything listed is from my wishlists here! )
1.) Something that is grey. – The bike lock on my wishlist (that was already gifted (: ) This one’s grey!
2.) Something reminiscent of rain. These leggings are Doctor Who Cosmic Tardis Leggings are cosmic… as in galaxy… as in the universe… in which there is a water cycle…. Which is reminiscent of rain…. Yup. ;)
3.) Something food related that is unusual. – It’s not every day you get to have jagermeister infused gummy bears....... Freaking nom.
4.) Something on your list that is for someone other than yourself. Tell me who it's for and why. (Yes, pets count!) – A dog bed for my puppy!! He really, really needs a new one.
5.) A book I should read! I am an avid reader, so take your best shot and tell me why I need to read it! – YOU NEED TO READ THE HOUSE OF LEAVES IT’S SO CRAZY AND I LOVE IT AND … AT SOME POINTS… YOU READ IT UPSIDE DOWN AND CRAZY AND INSIDE OUT AND OMFG WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING READING THIS GO READ THIS NOW
6.) An item that is less than a dollar, including shipping... that is not jewelry, nail polish, and or hair related! This with the value of 95 cents ;) hehehe I’m sneaky.
7.) Something related to cats. I love cats! (Keep this SFW; you know who you are...) -- This cat bed, even though I don’t have a cat, was on my puppy’s list! My puppy (who’s really a 9 year old dog but I call him puppy cause he looks/acts/is one) is a 6lb pup who’s basically a cat ;)
8.) Something that is not useful, but so beautiful you must have it. – The Chuck Complete Series Collector Blu-ray is not necessarily useful to my life…But the show’s so gorgeous, the cast so beautiful, the plot so delicious…I love it and need it! :P
9.) A movie everyone should watch at least once in their life. Why? – TANGLED!! (OK, one of the only movie related pieces on my list :P) But really, Tangled is PERFECT, SO adorable, a real winner.
10.) Something that would be useful when the zombies attack. Explain. – Okay this may seem crazy but stick with me here. these bones would be super helpful once whittled down. You could use it to double tap those stanky ass zombies
11.) Something that would have a profound impact on your life and help you to achieve your current goals. I have lots of stuff for fitness and school and all my goals likes that, but I thought I'd use something a little different for this one. This skin corrective cream would allow me to cover up my stupid little burn marks on my leg that make me really self conscious in skirts and shorts. This would be a good step in my goal of being happy with myself and gaining self confidence for the first time in my life.
12.) One of those pesky Add-On items.– One of those pesky add-ons… The MSC Joie Simply Slice Strawberry Slicer on my WL is one of them pesky add-ons.
13.) The most expensive thing on your list. Your dream item, why? – A Bike. Why? Mine was stolen and its extremely hindered my mobility as I need it for transportation to school /:
14.) Something bigger than a bread box. – The puppy bed on my puppy’s wishlist within my own wishlist is most definitely bigger than a breadbox.
15.) Something smaller than a golf ball. -- These cable organizers HOLLAH at me, Tiger Woods.
16.) Something that smells wonderful. -- French Vanilla Green Mountain Coffee Portion Packs for Keurig Mmmmmmmmm, delicious.
17.) A (SFW) toy. -- Crock Pot COOKING IS LIFE AND HAVING A CROCK POT WOULD BE THE BEST OF TOYS. For something more traditional, I have hedgehog toys etc on my puppy's list.
18.) Something that would be helpful for going back to school. -- This beautiful backpack! Mine is shot to hell and I'm dreading buying a new one.
19.) Something related to your current obsession, whatever that may be. This Friends Milkshake Poster Print from my wishlist OMFG I AM OBSESSED WITH FRIENDS RIGHT NOW. IDK WHY BUT I AM. Also with the Chuck DVD on my dreams list xD
20.) Something that is just so amazing and awe-inspiring that I simply must see it. Explain why it is so grand.– The New York Window Print Poster on my wishlist is pretty awe-inspiring. Looking into the city "where dreams are made of" in whatever town your in.... In a place that's essentially the culmination of all your dreams and desires.... At least for me.

BONUS ITEMS
Finally, some people say that fear cuts deeper than swords but does it? Who knows.
One on the right looks like a crinkle cutter
My more complex kitchen tools are used for things like making pastries/breads/cakes, all of which I don't eat anymore.
invest in a good mandoline, it will cut your prep time down to nothing (no pun intended!). This one has been working wonders for almost a year.
I bought this Oxo Good Grips from Amazon. Don't use it much but works well when I do.
Courgette noodles - Imgur
Minced onion, garlic, bacon lardons with peas, mangetout, courgette and some mozarella. I grew the courgette, peas and mangetout myself :)
This is the spiraliser I have - https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Spiralizers-Manual-Graters-Slicers/Cuisique-Premium-Courgette-Spaghetti-including-Mandolin-Vegetable/B00PR54V30/
I've got one. I've only used it once so far, but it's pretty neat and easy. I made zucchini noodles and they were great. There are a couple others here with them too. I'd have to go look for a comment to find out who, but we could all share recipes.
Also, if you don't want to pay shipping, you can always send me a GC and I can order it for you off your list.
edit: The one I have looks identical to the one on your list, but I paid $8 more for whatever reason.

Culina French Fry Potato Cutter with Round Bottom for Easy Slicing, Stainless Steel by Culina
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FX0LBGE/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_rT8utb0PSPFAC
I use this one that I got off amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C2TT2H8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Pro-tip for making zucchini pasta: after you run the zucchini through your spiralizer let the noodles sit out on some paper towels or a cloth and generously salt them. The salt will draw out a lot of the excess moisture from the noodles which will then me absorbed by the cloth you use. What I typically do is spiralize the noodles and salt them like I described, then go cook whatever else I'm making to go with the noodles, which is usually a pork butt steak, and then fry up the noodles in the time that my steak is resting. Zucchini noodles really only need 3-4 minutes tops in the pan to be fully done, so as soon as they are done my steak is done resting and everything is good to eat.
Looks to be identical to this one for $6 less.
for the instant noodle bowls there is a bit of prep work. but you could do it over the weekend and keep them in jars in the fridge to take to work with you.
and you would need something like this. if you have a plug in and counter at your disposal these could work well for you.

http://www.copymethat.com/r/zZ0UoSn/chicken-instant-noodle-bowl/
you could do the same thing with beef in place of the chicken by just changing out a couple of ingredients.
such as. beef in place of chicken, beef base or bouillon, peas would still work great here. and I would use the tarragon, or thyme, here basil might work. (just another option)
http://www.copymethat.com/r/XmUkTmQ/diy-instant-noodles-with-vegetables-miso/
they look a little daunting but they are mostly measuring and chopping or slicing. a mandolin will help you slice them faster, thinner and more precise.
this one would be great it would chop, slice, shred etc...

I have this Briefton 5-blade that works nicely. So far holds up.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WKENSDA?psc=1
Likely too big for your specific purposes at this time, though.
I work in kitchens and have noticed this style is the most popular, probably because it’s so easy to remove the blade. Honestly though the brand doesn’t matter as long as you keep the blade sharpened and honed.
You can also do a mix of pasta noodles and zucchni noodles! I have this gadget from amazon and Zoodles are my favorite easy weeknight meal. It also can handle butternut squash.

Lately I've been replacing the carbs in my dinner with... well, often nothing. Or less carbs. Like tonight I had chicken sausage with peppers and onions, and I didn't put on a bun like a sandwich, or serve it with rice or anything. I just had the veggies and meat. I did have quinoa with green curry chickpeas at lunch, but I had about 3/4th of what a normal serving is, so a little less.
Or if you want to replace pasta with veggies, try a spiralizer. If you're in the UK (I figure you're not US because of the kg) there's one here but there are lots of others. And if you look under the related products, there are cookbooks with ideas of using spiralized vegetables to replace pasta and rice.

Stupid add-on items. >.>
I wanted to say you should get yourself this strawberry slicer because it's silly AND useful, and you could use it to slice up this strawberry ocarina from my wishlist! :D
No, you know what? I like that combo too much. XD So you should get yourself this fancy lipstick and this awesome eyeshadow to push it over the $25 mark. Because there's never a bad time to buy fancy makeup. <3
Here's a slicer, after which you would have to hand chop
Oh, great. Now I need to keep an awkward to clean bottle around to do something that I could do with my fingers, or by pouring between the two shells, or using a smaller, inexpensive, easier to clean product designed for this purpose.
Amazing!
Spectacular!
Splendiferous!
1/10th the price
I'm still waiting for these to be delivered so I can't really vouch for whether or not they are any good yet.
Food Dehydrator
Spiralizer/Mandolin The combo tool ended up being cheaper than just getting the type of spiralizer I want, but I think I may need to get an adjustable mandolin sometime in the future.

Not a spiral slicer. Maybe it's just a crinkle wave slicer. similar to this
