I must say, I totally agree with you on this subject. Although, I wouldn’t let on with my wife as to the REAL REASON. HI HI.
Good luck and Merry Christmas to you and family.

Good evening Larry, very nice to hear from you and thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment. It’s too late I have let the cat out of the bag but she is good with it…..and getting a nice mixer to boot.

Purchased my XYL a ‘Magic Bullet and Ninja Blender’ she always wanted.. then a ‘Paper Shredder’.. ‘Worst Gifts Ever’ for RFI ! I felt guilty when she asked for a ‘Gym Membership’ one year! I’de rather have her ‘chunky and quiet’ ! (but ‘Never’ tell her I said that !)

Don’t delude yourself, you are contemplating a purchase for you, not your XYL
Here are a couple of strategies that come to mind:
It only seems reasonable to buy your xyl an appliance for a gift if she ASKS for it. It this situation it might be best to take a new mixer off the gift list and just make it an appliance upgrade. That way, she can have all of the influence she wants in what is purchased, and you are less likely to end up in the dog house.
Another possibility is to hide something sparkly in the mixer when you wrap it up. Then the mixer becomes the “gag” part of something much more appropriate & pleasing than the mixer she may be very attached to.
Easy Jerry you are on think ice!!!

Hello Dave, great ideas and very well thought out I could never of thought of the bling in the mixer! I have some thinking to do over the weekend.
Thanks for the time you took to comment.

Mike,
Buying your wife an appliance as a gift will grant you more time for ham radio:
1. XYL won’t be talking to you, so more time for radio.
2. You will be sleeping on the couch. You have a couch in your shack, right?
Smarter move will be to “break” that old mixer and replace it with a new one.
