This was a gift for my mom on Mother's Day. I took it out of the package, and I actually made her some waffles with the waffle maker, and I serve them with strawberries and whipping cream, and a lot of love. She loved it! And even more fun than that, she found an app that she could send me a picture of an animated version of her self with what looked like the mini waffle maker that I got her. How fun is that?
