My K3 was a gift from my husband for Christmas. He totally understands that I am a complete bookworm. I think that it also saved his sanity as the books were piling up everywhere.
So my answer would be yes.  |
what can I say
, my two most favourite presents ever were a lever action rifle and a dewalt drill!

yeah, but when you can get just a blender for about 15 bucks, nothing speaks; "how about that sofa?" any louder. now a kitchen aid? ohhhh baby! come pull my hair!

My sister has a shiny red KitchenAid stand mixer that her hubby bought for Xmas over 10 years ago. She still loves it and like most KitchenAid owners, she keeps it sitting out as part of the kitchen decor. A mixer like that, should not be hidden in a cabinet!  |
and DeWalts work for girls too!
