To take the guesswork out of buying gifts this year, we at Montgomery News 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) Moki Vehicle Rooftop Doorstep
The Moki vehicle rooftop doorstep lets you reach the top of your car in a safer way. It’s a step-up that quickly attaches to your vehicle's door latch. The aluminum step has space for both feet and treads for extra stability. Use it to access a roof rack or for easier car cleaning, and store it in the glove compartment when you’re done.
2) Foldable Storage Box with Handle
meori is more than a foldable storage box—it’s got the convenience of shopping bags with a sturdy design that folds flat for storage and unfolds in a snap. A padded carrying strap makes toting more comfortable, too. Carry or organize up to 65 pounds of groceries, sports equipment, trunk contents, or just about anything else. The polished finish is attractive enough for at-home storage and the Earth-friendly design (partly made from recycled materials) wipes clean for easy care.
3) Electricity-Free Clothing Steamer Kit
With an InstaSteam starter kit stowed in your bag, you can pull together a perfectly pressed look when on the fly—literally—without needing access to an outlet. Fill the pod with water and put it in a garment bag. It creates wrinkle-smoothing steam in minutes and is disposable when the job is done.
4) Silicone Organization Band 3-Pack
Organize, wrap, and corral with packing bands that can help out with many jobs. This set of durable and stretchy silicone bands comes with three different sizes that can be linked to work together, or secure one to itself—there’s no metal parts to cause any scratches or snags. A band fits the bill for tasks like keeping clothes tidy in luggage (there’s even indicators for clean and dirty laundry), sealing open bags in the pantry and more.
5) Halo Wearable Ice Pack
Cool comfort from a wearable ice pack that delivers icy relief from migraines, headaches, and even hot flashes and fevers without getting in the way of your day. It can even cool you down during workouts. The comfy, stretchy wrap has a reusable ice pack inside. Individual cubes filled with purified water (longer-lasting than gel ice) help you target the cold right where you want it. Made in the USA.
