Because if it is practical, but not absolutely necessary, I personally hesitate to buy it.
P.S. If you were to make her the ice cream the first time, the present would be a prize in my book!
Personally I would want to play with the ice cream maker myself; I so like to play with liquid ingredients and things that make noise but if your wife is not so selfish about new toys, I think Jessi's suggestion is great.
None of the above. I'll just tell her I want her to get up and make me some ice cream. I'm confused... why would her desire to not make ice cream for the man who gives her a lavish lifestyle equate to me having to make it?
Ya'll gotta be kiddn' me! Everyone knows form Marriage 101.1 you don't ever buy the wife an appliance as a Christmas, birthday, or anniversary gift. Those gifts should be personal - ie. for them and their pleasure alone. Not for the family, not to help with wifely work. This is right up there with don't forget birthdays and anniversaries! Please note: been married 42 years! I learned this lesson the first year. ......and it does not matter what she says about it being ok.![]()
If she likes to buy low or no fat ice cream made with splenda it is perfect; the diet varieties out there are very limited. If she will eat any kind of cheap sugary junky ice cream, then get her one other personal gift also, just to be safe. Personally I think it is a really nice idea.

My husband doesn't always get what he wants just because he asks..just as I don't always get what I want from him just because I ask..often times either one of us will just get up and make what we want for ourselves..as opposed to waiting on the other person...
It may be she is in the middle of something else..when you desire her to make you ice cream..
Being of Scottish descent, I lean toward the practical side. I think this falls in the middle, which is what I often seek in a gift---it's something she has said she wants, it's useful (as opposed to a knick-knack that merely needs dusting, which equals work), and it may be somewhat of a splurge. By this I mean it's unlikely she'll buy it at Walmart next week; it's not a necessity to keep the house running. Therefore, it's different than replacing her iron, for example.
They just don't share our extreme level of cloddishness, Ben. It's a carefully cultured characteristic.I can't believe that 18 people are hating on me so far.
I'd love to hear what kind of Don Juan gifts you give your spouse!

Umm. Your wife doesn't ever have access to the PB, does she...?

I personally can't think of anything MORE romantic than an ice cream maker. In fact, I like the idea so much, I'm considering doing the same. Thanks Ben.
Of course, my own clodness level may influence my thinking on the subject.

All I can say is remember the trash can you bought me for our 5th anniversary. Do I need to say more? Let's not go there, okay?![]()
