Kitchenaid
For the woman who likes to cook for family and friends, one of the most treasured gifts can be a Kitchenaid mixer. This heavy, solid steel stand mixer does more than mix cookie and cake batter. The latest Kitchenaid comes with the option for attachments. Some of these attachments will make fresh pasta, grind fresh sausage, juice the oranges and make home-made ice cream.The Kitchenaid also comes standard with a dough hook that helps create bread, pizza dough, rolls, and pie crust without a lot of kneading by hand.
This is not a cheap gift. the basic model Kitchenaid retails for about $200 and the top of the line Pro 600 series is about $400. Then each attachment purchased can run $70- $200. However, this is a gift purchase that will last for many, many years. Some consumers report that their Kitchenaid mixer has lasted over 20 years. So, the Kitchenaid mixer is a gift that could bring joy this year and keep giving for many years to come.

This is a great, inexpensive alternative to the new $600 iPad.
