Kitchen appliances are sometimes seen as "insensitive" as a gift. But in some cases, the opposite can very-much be true. This year we're giving my mom the ice cream freezer she's wanted for some time. Of the wooden bucket variety, she's specifically wanted one with a hand crank, which has been difficult to come by at a reasonable price. This year we found one with both a hand crank and a motor attachment, so she can switch over when she gets tired.

Are you giving something like this, this year? If so, tell the story!
