It’s functional, neat and damm sure a necessity. So what’s wrong with giving your woman a blender as an anniversary present?
When shoes and dresses often end up at the back of a wardrobe to never to see the light of day and designer perfume can be as pleasant as a dead pigeon…One would expect that when Bayo gave Gladys a blender for their anniversary she would have been grateful for this beacon of kitchen goodness. But if you’re anything like Gladys, a blender as a gift signifies that you couldn’t be bothered, you’re lazy or even worst – you have zero taste!
Sometimes I wonder if it is actually the blender or the attitude of the women it’s given too that’s the issue. With over 70% of women in the UK in employment, too many women are trading kitchen duties for boardroom antics, drastically bringing down the value of the gold ole blender. There was once a time (before all this equal rights nonsense) when a gift for the kitchen was seen as an insightful tool to lighten the load – one would even dare to say it showed that a man cared. With all these changing attitudes and demands, it begs the question: can a man ever get the right gift for a woman?
