I am a huge supporter of the idea of a toaster as a wedding gift or as a housewarming gift. There is much to be said for a really good toaster. Part of my fascination with buying toasters for other people probably relates to a lifetime of never having bought a toaster for myself.
Here's why:
And a second hand toaster at that.
The story is that this was a corporate Christmas gift from my sister's husband's employer shortly after they got married at least several years ago. I am a little uncertain of the exact details but I think the employer gave them another one a few years later at about the time I was being released from my period of national service. With a surplus of toasters my sister passed this one along to me.
And there it still sits, my only toaster.

I remember that toaster. The exact details escape me. Amusing post.
I was kind of hoping you'd do a toaster themed blog after my post. That is a nice toaster. They definitely don't make them like that anymore.
I think they gave us a toaster oven.
That one's gone, too. I think the door quit shutting properly.
We had one from John's parents that we resurrected after that -- I don't know where it is now, but it was in the other house when we moved last year.
The one here and the one in Florida I bought at Target. The same style both places. White with a blue handle, I thought it was cute and funky at the time. I guess I still do.
Toasters. I so rarely eat toast.
