For Mother's Day one year, DH bought me one of those Kitchen Aid stand mixers. It's about 15 yrs old now and is used approximately 5 times per year. Not a horrible gift but I did and do wonder what his thinking was. Now, it is a great mixer, especially when we make his mom's Christmas cookie recipe. My MIL one year gave my older DD a headless Barbie b/c it came with a cute outfit. Gotta love her b/c she gave birth to my DH who's a keeper. FYI: I usually buy my gifts from him and wrap them like they're from him. He gets mad but he always buys me the prefect fabric or thread or what have you sewing gizmo!!!!
