What is the best Christmas gift for a couple under $250?
Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker, 5.5 Cup at $238: The rice cooker that cooks perfect rice and sings when it is done. The Zojirushi that families keep for twenty years. It leads this list because, of the picks at this budget, it was chosen most specifically for a couple: it carries the fewest other tags in our catalog. The other 3 follow by the same measure, and every one was under $250 and in stock on Nov 3.
