In my family, presents often come in pairs: something usable or practical, and something personal, experiential, or consumable. E.g.: A pretty set of wooden spoons is great, but even better when paired with a great cookie recipe to break them in with. (Or a box of said cookies, already made.)With Mo

We’ve shied away from covering coffee makers for years—there just weren’t enough good-looking options available.
