I'm putting together a wedding shower gift, and I wanted to add a "kitchen starter". The couple don't have any kitchen items yet. They typically eat standard North American dishes with some Italian and North American Chinese dishes. What would be the top 10 spices/herbs (besides salt and pepper) that you would add to a gift basket? Which herbs/spices should no basic kitchen be without?

1. Seasoned salt (use the Costco brand, it has a lot less sodium and better flavor)2. Ground Ginger3.Dried Parsley4.Granulated garlic with parsley5.Onion Powder6.Celery Salt7.Seasoned pepper (like seasoned salt but with pepper lol)8.Dried Chives9.Cinnamon10.Dried Onion and Garlic flakes11. Dry mustard powderAlso I like to keep beef and chicken bullion cubes or powder. You can do a low sodium version as well.You could also add in some extra virgin olive oil and a nice balsamic vinegar, and a white balsamic as well. Some nice mustard like dijon or a spicy brown might help round it out.
