I remember the year my dad bought weighing scales for my mum for Christmas.
If my wife was always struggling with a heavy vacuum cleaner then I don’t see this as a bad present. It’s the kind of thing that shows you notice her struggles and want to make things easier. It does depend on the person though and of course I’d get something more enjoyable as well to round off the gift.
“Coffee shop” is such a horrible americanism – in England it’s a cafe or coffeehouse

When I was a kid my dad bought my mum a Bigmouth Billy bass for Christmas
She filed for divorce at the beginning of January
I bought a vacuum at Christmas time purely because ours died. Made doubly sure to the lady at checkout it wasn’t a Christmas present!
plot twist: she asked for it specifically.
as you get older household stuff becomes more alluring.
My mate got his girlfriend a potato peeler for her birthday. Nothing else. Not even a card. Just the potato peeler.
I once gave my missus a new ironing board cover for Christmas just to see her face before I gave her the real presents. The doctors says the pins can come out in a couple of months.
My mum got my dad a Dyson for Christmas once, it was the best gift he got that year apparently.
