Wedding gifts for a Couple

The tilt-head mixer that sits on the counter for thirty years. Still the wedding gift to beat.

One button, a real crema, five cup sizes. The small Nespresso for a counter with no room.

199 questions couples never get around to asking. The card game from the viral videos, in a box.

The Bose speaker that goes to the beach and the shower. Waterproof, floats, and sounds like Bose.

Sous vide for a steak that is exactly right every time. The small Anova that clips to any pot.

The pressure cooker that became a verb. Rice, beans, a whole chicken, yogurt, all in one pot with a lid that locks.

The home espresso machine with the grinder built in. The one that actually replaces the coffee shop.

A pillow inside a pillow. The one that fixed the flat-pillow problem for people who did not know they had it.

The wool camp blanket with the stripes, woven in Oregon. The blanket that becomes the one on the couch for thirty years.

The rice cooker that cooks perfect rice and sings when it is done. The Zojirushi that families keep for twenty years.
