(ARA) – The time of the year when wedding bells start ringing is here again. You need to come up with the perfect gift for the happy couple, but terrycloth towels, wall clocks and tiresome tools seem way too dull. With more couples indicating a preference for items that make positive statements about who they are and what they would like to be, the answer could be as simple as giving gifts for entertaining - gifts that not only allow them to show off their culinary skills, but also indicate their individuality and sense of style. Back in the 1970s, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, couples were getting married in their early 20s - with the median age for a first marriage at 20.8 years. Fast-forward 30 years and couples are waiting to marry until they are at least 25. These more mature couples have acquired a taste for household goods that combine advanced technology with sophisticated design and a sense of style they’ve encountered in their travels, according to the Harvard Business Review.
With couples no longer settling for run-of-the-mill products, manufacturers are offering new, high-performance countertop appliances with upscale elegance and the ultimate in personalization.
For example, the Jenn-Air Attrezzi line of small appliances is literally too beautiful to put away. Each countertop appliance features artfully designed glass and cast metal components with unique finishes such as Antique Copper, Oiled Bronze and Stainless Steel that can be color coordinated to their personal taste, allowing couples to experience the beauty of art in their kitchens.
Consider the following entertaining gifts that brides and grooms would enjoy receiving and owning:
Breathtakingly beautiful blenders
For brides and grooms who want to impress their friends, the Jenn-Air Attrezzi blender offers high-performance features with styling that takes entertaining to the next level. With a sleek, high class shape that evokes fine Italian jars and vases, the blender’s glass pitcher is offered in the most popular new colors. For example, the new limited Iced Coral etched-glass pattern from renowned American glass artist Michael Weems might be just the thing to remind the couple of the beautiful scenery they saw on their Caribbean honeymoon. Or choose from a variety of other heavenly hues such as Merlot Red or Cobalt Blue.
To further the customization options, the blender’s glass pitcher can be paired with a cast metal base in a variety of finishes including lustrous new Oiled Bronze, the latest, most exquisite new metallic that’s being seen throughout the home on everything from plumbing fixtures to cabinet hardware.
In addition to its beauty, the Jenn-Air Attrezzi blender has a variety of high-performance features including an extra-large capacity, 72-ounce pitcher that holds almost four cups more than standard blenders. It also has five-speed glass touch controls that allow the newlyweds to crush ice for exotic cocktails for the wedding party, grind coffee beans for Sunday brunches with the in-laws or mix ice cream desserts for patio picnics with new neighbors.
Sleek, Sophisticated Mixers
Elegant and powerful, the Jenn-Air Attrezzi stand mixer makes food preparation a joy. Offered in the same stylish glass colors and cast metal base finishes as the blender, it is beautiful to look at, yet even better to use. Its contemporary design centers around a line of colorful glass mixing bowls that can be used to prepare foods as well as serve them, making a seamless transition from countertop to tabletop.
Whether it’s the fingertip electronic touch controls or dual handles on the mixing bowls, the stand mixer is the smartest, easiest to use high-performance kitchen tool available. Innovative electronic touch wheel controls at the top of the mixer make it easy to see the mixing speed and even easier to adjust it.
This mixer also has ten solid-state selections that smoothly move from low speed to high, preventing dry ingredients from flying out of the bowl or wet ingredients from splattering the inside, so the hosts can focus on their guests instead of cleaning up kitchen spills.
Tastefully Elegant Toasters
There was a time when giving a toaster to a newly married couple was the ultimate yawn. No more. The new Jenn-Air Attrezzi high-performance toaster is literally a work of art. Striking the perfect balance between art, form and function, it has a distinctive sculpted design and a glass base that can be color coordinated to match the Jenn-Air Attrezzi stand mixer and blender.
What makes the toaster so unique is that breads, bagels or toaster pastries - regardless of thickness - can always be browned to the same degree, thanks to its exclusive Auto-Adjust Heating Elements. This ensures even toasting every time, with no need to worry about readjusting the carriage heat setting.
For the ultimate in entertaining wedding gifts, consider giving a complete set of Jenn-Air Attrezzi small appliances and let the bride and groom coordinate colors and finishes from the wide array of combinations available. Each is beautiful in itself, but together, they are perfectly matched - just like the happy couple.
