I got one of these as a gift. Since I don't drink coffee, and on the very rare occasion I do it's without milk, I used it for my office gift swap. I'm sure it's nice for latte-lovers, but useless for me.

Piling on for microplane grater (I use it most often for ginger, nutmeg, and citrus zest) and immersion blender.

I had an aerogarden for years, and really liked it. The pump gave out after three or four years of constant use, and I'd consider getting another one, now that my kid is old enough to enjoy it.

(1) Hammer Song handmade cookie cutters

(2) Nordic Ware specialty cake and cakelet pans

(3) Emile Henry red, fluted, heart-shaped, tart pans, which make my pot pies extra-special

Oops, re #4 above, I meant zesting citrus fruits.
