Wedding
Gifts ...
the Costco
Way
Gifts are a token of love
and appreciation. This is the
time for giving enduring
mementos that can be used
over and over again. Today’s
newlyweds are combining
formal tradition with personalized flair as they mix
old and new, so it’s little
wonder that wedding-gift
registries also reflect
this trend.
Ninety-one percent of all
newlyweds register for gifts
(Modern Bride), with half
of this number selecting
everyday basics, 25 percent
special-occasion tableware,
15 percent specialty appliances and 10 percent trend
items. (Gourmet Retailer)
We suggest selecting
gifts that reflect timeless
tradition, are practical or
have lasting meaning.

KitchenAid Stand Mixer
The KitchenAid mixer has been a fixture in the American
kitchen since 1919, when the first model of a home stand mixer
was described as “the best kitchen aid.”
Still true to its name, this exceptional hands-free appliance
now offers 10-speed control, ergonomically designed bowl and
bowl-lift handles, rugged all-metal construction and:
Burnished Flat Beater: Specially designed to mix ingredients
in every part of the bowl.
Burnished Dough Hook: Can knead even very large
quantities of raised dough.
Professional Wire Whip: Incorporates optimal air into egg
mixtures for fluffier meringues and soufflés; also whips cream

Aroma Housewares Cool Touch Rice Cooker

Rice Cooker from Aroma Housewares. Its cool-touch exterior,
sealed lid system, nonstick cooking pot for easy cleanup, 20-cup
capacity and automatic “Keep Warm” setting ensure that rice is
cooked to perfection each and every time. No stirring, turning
or temperature adjustments are required.
MARNEY AUSTIN’S AROMA RICE COOKER TIP
This Phoenix member reports, “We purchased an Aroma rice
cooker at Costco. While it does work great for rice, we decided
to try it to steam Asian appetizers like dumplings. It works
much better than a steamer because the appetizers stay warm
for numerous courses.”
