only 5 qtr at the target i went.


Wait, so you only went to one location of one store? You didn’t look online long ago?


Yeah, kinda agree with this.... Unless she only very recently declared a wish for a 6 qt mixer, shopping and only finding a 5 qt on 12/23 is.... really not great. Especially is you think you have that kind of wife. Why are men?!?!

(I would be happy with it myself, but... she asked for 6 qt, maybe for a reason, and she is the one to please.)

The gift reciept / gift card situation is maybe an option, but at least insist on taking on the return/exchange yourself. Don't give her an errand. (I swear this is a Seinfeld bit, but a quick google didn't turn it up. Anyone?)

I wouldn’t be happy with the artisan vs the professional one. I’m not crazy either but I wouldn’t want to unwrap something I don’t want. Just include a note saying it’s coming vs buying the wrong one.

Be careful where you buy and make sure they accept returns. Williams Sonoma I believe is not accepting returns.

Give her gift certificate. For price of 6 Qt., tell her they only have 5 qt. And that you wanted to give her what she asked for rather than ask her to take less.

Get the five and tell her you won’t be offended or upset if she exchanges for a 6. If that’s a problem, you’ve got bigger issues than Christmas presents.

I would, but get a gift receipt/keep the receipt and don’t get your feelings hurt if she wants to exchange it.


+1. Inventory has been tough on KA’s lately. Include a note that she might want a different size/ color and some accessories.

I have the 5 and have never had an issue with it being too small. It takes a lot of space in the pantry, I wouldn’t want larger
