Gift Guide: Kitchen Gadgets & Small Appliances

Blender
Please note, I’m not a big gadget and equipment person. The gadgets and equipment I buy have to be good quality for the money. I’m usually willing to spend a bit more money to get quality. And when increased cost means bells and whistles are added to a product, they need to be features that I find are useful.
A blender that really works, effortlessly, is a thing of beauty. And this 3-speed, 750 horsepower machine, that’s even easy to clean, is just that.
Hamilton Beach Wave Action Plus Blender Model 53257
Price: $59.99
The Reason We Love It: The patented wave action really does work better. No more stopping the blender and scraping down the sides with a spatula to try and ensure uniform blending. I once made a friend return a blender purchased as a wedding gift and get one with wave action instead. No kidding!
