DH and I got each other a new kitchen aid for a combined Christmas/ anniversary gift and we used our airmiles to do it.

FFSC Ive considered marraige just for the fact I could create a registry and put a Kitchen-Aid on it.

periwinkledaydreams, my friend told her fiance she wouldn't marry him until he bought her one. She got the best one with all of the attachments lol. They've been married a decade and have two kids so I guess it worked out.

DH got one for me for Christmas a few years back, and one of the surgeons at the hospital I work at was so angry that my DH got me something for the kitchen. He kept saying appliances aren't gifts! I freaking loved that gift!! Lol

People like to say what is and is not a gift, I guess. I got all hung up on the idea that gift cards didn't count as a good gift cause they weren't thoughtful etc but it's all SO wanted, gift card or electronics and damned if I know what kind of electronics to buy him. With a gift card he can buy the electronics he actually wants and likes. I finally settled this score with myself and realized, for him, that's a great gift because it's what he wants.

[periwinkledaydreams]

Id be effing thrilled if SO bought me a mixer, and Id bake a bunch of cookies. By choice, not cause Im like locked in my kitchen or something. If that was the case then yea, the appliance is a fucked up gift. But then again, its prob not a gift at that point..

I really wish I would've gotten one of those Roomba vacuum cleaners!

We got our nanny one for her Christmas bonus this year.  She was thrilled and I was so excited to give it to her.  She named it Gladys because "I'm glad she joined us!"

I got that Kirsten bell Samsung washing machine with the built in sink. I almost cried I was so excited. Give me all the household appliances for Christmas that make our lives easier! That sucker holds all the clothes.

I AM SO JEALOUS!!!!!!!  I want one so bad!!!!

DH got me a robotic vacuum last Christmas (different brand than Roomba) and it's great! I mean it doesn't hold a charge as long and takes forever to do the space we had but I could run it overnight or while DS and I were at tumbling, etc. It's not so great in our new house because I can only use it upstairs but that's not the vaccuum's fault. (Our "main" level has a step down living room)

[erbear]

My kitchen aid mixer and I are BFFs. So many delicious treats have been made in the past three years!

[jessila]

DH and I got each other a Roomba last year as a joint gift last year. We love it.
And I've loved my kitchenaid for 7 years now. I need to take it in for a tune up. I had to raise the height of it for a wedding cake I made and now it makes weird squeaking sounds

I really wish we would've done the Roomba as a joint gift this year, but DH wasn't on board. But my BIL got his wife one this Christmas and now DH is finally on the train lol. Hopefully we will have one soon!

I LOVE my kitchen Aid!! Mine is 11 years old, my parents got it for me as my 18th birthday present (I was in culinary school at the time). It was the best gift ever. I have slowly gotten a few attachments for it as well. Anytime I have an excuse to break it out I do!

Which attachments do you have?

I can never justify them because they're expensive but I guess I could ask for them as a gift.

I'm curious about attachments too. I still only have the paddle and wisk, and then some hook looking thing.. what does that do, btw?

shahoi  -  The hook is for making doughts, its very usefull even if you want to braid the dough on your own (if you dont have a bread machine)

  I will have to check when I get home jessila and shahoi, but i am pretty sure that I have one of the pasta attachments, and a sausage maker.  They are still in the box (its been a while since ive used either of those.  I really want the ravioli attachment.  I dont need the ice cream maker because we got an awesome one as a wedding gift.

I really want a roomba too, but I just wonder if it is really worth the money.

[erbear]

I have the ice cream maker kitchen aid attachment and I've used it exactly one time. I tried to make dairy free ice cream and it wasn't very good.

The answer is yes.
But my house is one floor so I don't have to cart it up and down stairs. My only complaint is that it keeps going even if the canister is full so you have to keep checking it. It does a mitch more thorough job of vacuuming than I ever did.

[Bluedaisy]

We have the pasta makker, the ice cream maker, and the meat grinding attachements. Have never ued the mat grinder but have some good ideas so might start. We also have a second blade attachment that has a dough scraper.
