I'm not so sure about the "surprise" aspect. Could you surprise her by taking her along to pick out her own? I'm sure that one is perfectly fine, but maybe she has a specific one in mind that she'd like.

My husband actually insisted that I needed one about 13 years ago. I was out of state caring for a family member. His intentions were good, but I really didn't want one. I haven't used it more than a dozen times. I just really don't have much of a need for it because I don't bake cakes or bread much anymore.

But you're a sweet guy.
