I wonder how many 1950s housewives loved their vacuum cleaners this much...

I gave my mom some appliances for her BD x mas or new year everytime she loved it and put everything to good use. In our home appliances are welcome as gifts , if we need a new one bd or occasion are usually the time of year for replacing them . I remember when i bought my mom a dryer brand new 509$ Kenmore dryer she was thrilled finally no more hanging clothes to dry .Or the time i got her a food processor or coffee maker ect .I remember when i got my Compact Electra C9 i was thrilled a real housewife ripping the box reading the manual haha I dont understand why people get mad when they get a appliance as a gift its to make life easier one them not an insult never understood .As for me my bd or x mas gifts are simple vacuum bags ect and im happy house wife in me talking haha .

If the
family budget is tight, most mom's would appreciate a Christmas gift that makes house work easier. Then they have more time to enjoy not doing it, so you can treat her to a dinner out, a movie, etc.

Bless Your Hearts....
The reason a person might find household appliances as holiday gifts insulting is because it says, "This is your job, not mine.".
We've moved beyond the 50's. Everybody pitches in now. Wives have jobs and husbands vacuum and wash dishes.
Imagine a married lesbian couple on Xmas day.
One woman gives her wife a dishwasher.
Why?
A dishwasher is a household necessity, as is a vacuum or any other appliance.
Might as well buy her a snow shovel.
She's a partner, not a maid.
Get her a bathrobe or a kegerator, I don't know, anything but cleaning tools.
Of course, if a couple has a pre-agreed arrangement, such as, you keep the windows clean, I'll keep the floors clean, or something like that, it would be a little different.
Still, not the best choice.

Housewives & vacuums
The tv shows that are supposedly set in the 1950's& 60's show the mothers dressed up with gloves, hat,etc.One example is that Pearl Vision commercial. I grew up in the 60's. Neither my mother,any of my aunts;or our neighbors dressed like that. I fondly remember my Aunt Dorothy vacuuming with her Hoover #65. She would set her hair in those metal curlers,with the pink stickpins. She wrapped the whole thing up in a pink scarf. Aunt Mary wore those handkerchiefs,like Tupac made so famous. Every time I saw him, I rememdered Aunt Mary pushing her green Eureka upright,circa 1957.Mother wore a big housedress,that looked like a maternity dress. She said she needed something loose fitting,because of all the bending she had to do.She set her hair in Bobby pins,wrapped in a scarf.

The point was....
we were talking about the 50's/60's as evidenced by the kick-off pic of this thread. Not what women and spousal relationships have evolved into today. We all have some fond memories of females doing chores and hopefully, us helping them. But so far, everyone speaking to that in this thread have been men.
Personally, I find old advertisements like that insulting, as do I find the laugh tracks and canned comedy on old TV sitcoms. Yet when you see something like that today and have lived through that time, they do trigger memories that are often personal, positive & warm.
