To take the guesswork out of buying gifts this year, we at North Middlesex Times asked our friends at The Grommet for their latest and greatest practical gift suggestions for 2021.
These guides are geared towards specific interests. You’ll be able to find something for even the toughest person on your Christmas shopping list.
Top 5 Practical Gifts
1) VIOLI 2.0 Julienne Slicer
The VIOLI 2.0 julienne slicer quickly creates perfect cuts of vegetables and fruits with two blade inserts and five thickness options. Non-slip feet and a handguard keeps operation safe, and a dial makes thickness selection easy. Made with Japanese stainless steel and dishwasher safe.
2) Retractable Phone Charger
A retractable USB charger solves frayed, twisted, and tangled cable problems. The 31-inch, fast-charging flat cable extends just as long as you need it and retracts when you don’t. Able to charge up to two devices, this charger is easy to take with your wherever you go—it has retractable prongs and even a clip to attach it to your bag.
3) Detergent Cup Holder - Set of 2
Laundry time gets tidied up with a drip catcher and detergent cup holder. Each can fit under all economy-size dispenser spouts to catch pesky drips and splashes and to provide a place to store the cup. When the holders need to clean up, give them a rinse or toss them in the wash.
4) European Scrubbing & Scouring Pad - Set of 4
A Skoy scouring pad does scrubbing and clean-up jobs in an eco-friendly (and much more colorful) way. Made in Poland from cotton thread remnants from the toweling industry and food-grade hardener, this scrubber will last about five times longer than usual scouring pads. It’s non-abrasive, so it’s safe on most surfaces like non-stick, stainless steel, and glass, and one can go through the dishwasher to freshen up.
5) Athletic Personal Pack
Designed for active use, The FlipBelt is a sleek, form fitting way to carry your workout essentials with no bulk and no bounce.
