If there are two things that we can always count on from Jennifer Garner, it's making us laugh via her comedic Instagram posts and displaying an impeccable taste in kitchen appliances. Just this week, Garner took to her feed to do both in a post entitled "Jen's Gift Guide," in which she playfully showcased her favorite KitchenAid gadgets by hastily wrapping up the ones in her trailer to gift for the holidays—water still in the grain and rice cooker ($300; $220). LOL.

The video starts with Garner saying, "Hello and happy holidays from my trailer, where I'm a little busy and a little behind on holiday shopping. I'm going to wrap up my very, very favorite things to give to my very favorite people because that is the kind of generous little elf that I am." And throughout the video, proceeds to show us her four favorite KitchenAid must-haves. Read ahead to shop Jen's recommendations for everyone on your list.

Jennifer Garner's Favorite KitchenAid Appliances and Gadgets
A rice and grain cooker that can do it all? Yes, please! Equipped with an automatic integrated scale that senses the amount of grains added and can calculate the correct water-to-grain ratio, an integrated automatic water tank, 21 preset options *and* a steamer basket that can be used in tandem for multitask cooking, there's almost nothing that this bad boy can't do. Kiss that run-of-the-mill rice cooker goodbye.
This gadget is so good that I even copped one myself and gave it a rave review. Thanks to its wide mouth and crevice tool attachments, the cordless vacuum is a lifesaver whether you're dealing with big kitchen spills or trying to get into hard-to-reach areas. The rechargeable battery provides up to 20 minutes of continuous runtime, while its sleek, compact design allows for easy storage when not in use.
3. KitchenAid Artisan Series 5 Quart Tilt Head Stand Mixer with Pouring Shield in Contour Silver

"Sorry to see you go," Garner says to her KitchenAid stand mixer before regretfully covering it in festive striped wrapping paper. "My mom's always been so proud of my wrapping," Garner says as the camera zooms in on crinkled paper and exposed tape. Of course, any home baker would be thrilled to receive this beauty under the tree, no matter how well (or horribly) it was wrapped. With a stainless-steel blade, removable 5-quart bowl and ten-speed slide control, this mixer is the perfect gift for anyone who finds themselves experimenting in the kitchen. Plus, it comes in tons of gorgeous colorways like lavender cream and majestic yellow that will brighten up any kitchen. But if you (or your giftee) are anything like Garner, you'll want to opt for the classic silver.
4. KitchenAid Go Cordless Hand Blender with Battery

Like Garner, you too, can make mashed potatoes on the roof of your car. The cordless, rechargeable battery-operated hand blender allows you to blend all sorts of soups, pestos, salsas and sauces, from anywhere, and makes a great gift for someone who finds themselves away from their kitchen, but craving a bowl of something warm. A frequent camper, perhaps?
