I got some pretty good baking swag this year.
First up was a Kopykake. I will be making disgusting amounts of cookies over the next year putting this thing to the test.
A KitchenAid Architect was shocked to see it was the full set as these are stupid expensive.
Possibly my favorite gift for kitchen stuff this year was DrawerDecor which has finally made my drawers a non clusterfuck.
Steel prep table similar to this but not this model. Got it before Christmas but was told it was an early xmas gift.
Wire Shelving similar to this, but again not this model. Its 4' wide and each shelf can take 600. It freed up SO much room for me. I highly recommend more shelving for any of you guys/gals who have the room for it.
18" Magnetic Knife Strip, again more stuff out of shelves, off of counter tops etc.
Glass mixing bowls
Last but certainly not least, I finally got this cookie sheet from chicago metallic. Such a nice piece.
Now I think it is worth noting that I bake for a living, and that most people don't actually want a prep table or a 3' tall projector in their kitchen but damnit I love it! :)
The main theme for this xmas seems to be helping me get my kitchen to the OCD level needed in a professional kitchen. Not sure the missus loves the strict flow of kitchen as much as I do but man, it feels good and looks great.
That is awesome!
I might be inclined to add a magnetic strip in the lid to hold a paring knife, barspoon, zester, etc.

If you are just looking for something functional, get one of those magnetic knife holders, http://www.amazon.com/Norpro-Inch-Magnetic-Knife-Tool/dp/B000CRDDBE/ref=sr_1_1?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1408387515&sr=1-1.
If you are looking for style, I agree the "Bamboo Skewer Knife Block" is an awesome idea. I made one a couple of years ago and I really like it!
I need this pretty badly because we keep getting gifted knives and our drawer is becoming deadly! Chuck Finley, go Angels!
I said mag block - which they make - but what I really meant/have is a mag strip, like this.
Generally, I would avoid the strips in this style where a bunch of individual magnets are embedded in a block. Those you have to aim the knife so it sits on a magnet vs the true strips where the entire surface will hold onto a knife.
I don't know what you consider small, I've seen some kitchens in apartments that are one small path with appliances and counters on each side. Mine isn't nearly that bad (about 140 square feet) but it is very limiting. What I've done to help make it feel bigger is to utilize every bit of free space: walls, floor, fridge, cabinet sides, etc.
Some of the things I've created to help make room include:

Consider posting a picture of your place and we can probably provide you with more ideas on what you can do to modify what you have in a rental-friendly way.
My friends have this really cool magnet system to store their knives on the wall, it looks really cool and it's really efficient. There are also these nice storage compartments that when on their side, can double as a shelf.
