Not asking for much am I?? OK seriously folks when I start my Christmas baking I probably make 12-15 types of cookies and squares and I still use an antique mixer ( and I can say this honestly because I saw the same mixer in an antique store in September, remember that story?) And while we are on the topic of need I really could need a new stainless steel oven and fridge… OK maybe that’s not a need but it is a want. My kitchen could use a bit of a steel spruce up.
OK, I know that may seem a little excessive but on a more realistic note I do need the Red Keurig, I have the black/steel one but this red baby would go so very,very nicely on my cupboard and then of course it needs the matching blender right?? and then truly what self respecting lover of holidays doesn’t need a Marguerita machine??? Well I know I do.. and my holiday party and all the guests would be much appreciative.
I know, I know it is supposed to be that time of year we think of others and I really should focus more on Kent’s needs not my own all the time but dang he is a tough one, to quote him directly ” I don’t need anything, I have everything I need” Seriously what on the heck are you supposed to do about that?? Every year I search high and low, not for something he thinks he wants or needs but for that something special that will make him just go WOW. Last year we said no gifts and instead gave each other tickets to the Autozone Liberty Bowl in Memphis with a shopping trip on the way back ( now that was awesome) This year we are heading to Charlotte and the Belk Bowl but we are allowed to spend some money on each other, so back to the drawing board for me, what can I get that would be special?? Well I think I found it, Truly I mean it, I really do think I found it, have you heard of Man Crates? Their Motto is:
We say ‘no’ to ugly neckties, cologne samplers and executive trinkets. We don’t save wrapping paper, we don’t do ribbons.
best wine aerator to buy says
When you use red wine aerators, depending on the style, you will either place it on top of the glass or decanter, or you will hold it above the glass. The vino flows through, and it is introduced to the air. The oxygen weaves through the liquid, releasing its true taste and character. The best part? It only takes a few moments. As soon as the it cascades down the sides and the curve of the glass, it's ready to enjoy.

Linda, you NEED this KitchenAid mixer! I have this exact one, the color is called 'Empire Red' and I saved for it and bought it on deep discount at Macy's and then got a coupon for a $50 rebate. I love that thing so much, it is one of the best kitchen appliances I ever bought and it is a joy to use! I hope you will gift it to yourself, you sound like a serious baker and while I appreciate the charm of your vintage mixer, the baker in me votes you get a KitchenAid! Do it! XO, Jill

I so hear you and I have been dreaming about this baby since I found out I would not need to hold the hand mixer for 15 minutes when making whipped shortbread,
