For future reference on presents, in case my future husband (impossibly) is lurking:
Kitchen appliances and utensils and gadgets and such: good.
Cleaning gadgets and appliances that aren't specifically asked for: baaad.
Hey, it ain't impossible! That he's posting, pretty unlikely, but we are being watched you know...
Attention lurkers, there's an excellent hobbit-lass who is possibly interested in a man of the best quality... submit your applications to RosieCotton in person... also take note that she does not want cleaning gadgets as presents...
