Holiday Gift Suggestions at Universal Appliance and Kitchen CenterA dishwasher may not be a good Christmas gift.There's a saying, "When you're a hammer everything looks like a nail."For someone who spends their days, months, and years around appliances, bringing home a new dishwasher as a Christmas gift for your wife just makes sense right?....not! Take it from me, that's a lesson you'll never need to learn a second time.However, that doesn't mean that an appliance cannot be a good Christmas present under the right circumstances. For example, in my case, a nice wine cellar or built-in ice machine would be a gift that I'd love. For both of us, a built-in espresso machine would be a superb gift to ourselves.Think of what your spouse would really love to have in the house that would make this Christmas special. Hint: it may not be new washing machine (even a red one)! And by the way, if it is a new Wolf Countertop Convection Oven, show your good taste by topping it off with a long stemmed rose, accompanied with a gift card to her favorite restaurant!
