What not to buy for Christmas
Article Abstract:
Christmas is the season for manufacturers to exploit consumers' weakness for new, trendy and uselessly innovative kitchen appliances. These items are bought often enough without any consideration for their necessity in the kitchen. Factors to consider before purchasing them include cupboard space, ease in cleaning, and usage frequency. Examples of these utensils include electric can openers, electric knives, juicers, and cappuccino makers.
