Just thought that if anyone had the Kitchenaid 7 qt mixer on their Xmas list, it is on sale for today only (Dec. 9th) at Williams Sonoma.  25% off the regular price. It comes out to $412 after discount, plus there's an offer from Kitchenaid for $50 cash back plus a magazine subscription for 1 year.  With the cash back the cost is $362... can't beat that for a mixer that usually goes for $549.  

Thanks for posting!
