🎁THE GIFT:

The “Here, I Can’t Listen to Your Bellyaching Anymore" Gift

Before I met my now wife, I was using a worn-out basic blender. It wasn’t very effective at liquifying things like kale stems and almonds, so I often found myself annoyingly chewing down crunchy smoothies. After months of complaining, my wife surprised me with a Vitamix blender for our anniversary. I’ve spent the next 6 years enjoying 300+ days of easy-to-drink smoothies. This is one of my favorite gifts of all time because it solved a daily pain point for me and it brings me so much utility. My wife also enjoys hearing me say “you’re right” when she occasionally reminds me how good of a gift the Vitamix was as she watches me drink my morning smoothie.
