Great Wedding Gifts For The Kitchen

The weather is warm, everything’s green,  a lot of people are getting married, and you are looking for some great wedding gifts to give. The options are unlimited, and if the couple to-be enjoys cooking and baking, then some special items for the kitchen are a great place to start.

They have probably registered at a few stores, and you could get some ideas there.

We have come up with a list of items that are popular for the kitchen. We know you want to give something that is thoughtful and unique, and we tried to take that into account when we came up with the following list.

Make sure if you do decide to get something for their kitchen, that they will put it to use, and it won’t end up sitting on the shelf collecting dust.  You might spend a little time talking to them, and see if any of these gifts would come in handy.

Mix it Up

We found the Kitchen Aid® Stand Mixer to be one of the most requested items for the kitchen.  It’s powerful, has dozens of attachments, and you can get it in eight different colors (Even though we’re guys we kind of like the Cook For The Cure® Mixer – It’s Pink! ;-) )  We use our mixer all the time, and if the couple to be enjoys baking, they’ll love their new mixer, and it will last a lifetime.

Quality Cooking!

Most of the couples to be are probably cooking on pots and pans that came from the local retail  or thrift store.  Sure, they do the job, but anyone who’s cooked much knows how great it is to cook with quality stainless steel cookware.  The results are better and the process of cooking is much more enjoyable.  The couple to be will be genuinely surprised when they start to use the quality cookware you got them.

(Bonus: Another great cookware idea is cast iron.  It will last forever.  It’s naturally non stick and will probably end up handed down to their kids!)

The Gift of Health

This is a great idea for the couple that either likes being healthy, or likes entertaining.  A great blender can be used to make a multitude of different drinks, whether it’s a healthy morning smoothie, or crushing ice for the beautiful dinner party.  They could even use it to make homemade soups.

Java, Java, Java

If they drink coffee, they’ve probably already got a coffee pot.  If it’s like ours, it’s slow and noisy.  Getting them a quality coffee pot that lasts for ages will ease their busy morning schedule because they won’t have to wait for the coffee pot to finish gurgling before they can leave. :lol:

(Bonus: Getting them a french press for their coffee is another great idea.  You can get them in different sizes, and it really brings out the flavor of the coffee so much better than a drip pot.  And you’ll be the only one who thinks of this!)

Unique and Personalized

We know some people are looking for gifts they can buy and wrap up, but others enjoy giving gifts that are a little more unique.  This one is for you.  You can get a nice wood or metal recipe box just about anywhere.  Decorate it and make it unique.  Then fill it with 3×5 cards and some of your favorite recipes.  You could even contact the bride and groom’s parents/grandparents, and have them put some of their favorite recipes in the box as well.  A great wedding gift that will sit on their kitchen counter for years to come.

Whether you’re looking for a quality appliance for the kitchen, or a unique personalized gift, there are many great wedding gifts that the future husband and wife will enjoy together.  And these days, buying online is often far less stressful than the hassle of running from store to store looking for a gift.

Is The Leatherman Wave Multi Tool For Dad?

Leatherman Wave Multitool

Leatherman Wave Multitool

You be the judge…

I have had my Leatherman Wave Multi Tool for almost four years now (I got it for a birthday, not Father’s day ;-) ), and it ranks up as one of the most used tools I’ve ever had.

I work in the trades, mostly running heavy equipment installing underground utilities, and my Leatherman is on my side every hour of the working day.  It gets used (and sometimes abused) and has never let me down.

I break out my Leatherman whether I need to open man holes, cut wire, pull wire, cut pipe, work on my machine…you name it, the list goes on and on.  There have been many times when other tradesmen have gone to their van to get a tool, only to return to find me doing the job with my Leatherman Wave.

The knives are locking, and easy to resharpen (even if you’ve used your blade as a mini shovel – I told you I abuse it!), and they hold their edge for a reasonable amount of time.

I have even found myself wearing my Leatherman when the wife and I go shopping.  Thinking to myself (probably in some MacGyver type of fantasy) that if something happens to the car, my Leatherman’s all I’ll need to get us back home! ;-)

The only draw back that I have found is that the phillips/flathead screw driver bit easily comes out of it’s socket, to be lost forever (I’ve had to get a few replacements myself), so tell Dad to watch and make sure his bit stays in place!

The Leatherman Wave Multi Tool really is a handy and remarkable tool.  It is easy to use, and comes with a lifetime warranty, so you know your Leatherman’s  got quality workmanship, and is built to last.

So if your dad is resourceful, self reliant and loves to be prepared, the Leatherman Wave Muti Tool is definitely for him!

Happy Father’s Day!

The Hot Gift Guys

P.S.- As of this post, you can get the Leatherman Wave from The Hot Gift Guys for $20 less than my Mom bought mine for in the Big Box Store!

P.P.S – Opt for the Leather sheath – as hard as I am on mine, it’s still in one piece.
