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) Ergonomic Composite Scraper Tool Kit
This ergonomic composite scraper is tough on tasks, but easy on hands—even with repetitive motions. Compact yet durable, it can swap between different types of plastic blades suited for different tasks. Ideal for removing decals and cleaning windows, the blades won’t rust or injure you or your surfaces.
2) Slow Wine Pourer
A slow wine pourer is the best way to serve delicate and older wines. The Vacu Vin tool pours wine from the bottom of the bottle straight to the bottom of your glass slowly. This means there is minimal exposure to oxygen, which can zap freshness and affect taste. This slower method gives an aged bottle of cabernet sauvignon or Bordeaux the special treatment it deserves.
3) Rechargeable Portable Fan
On the go, at home, or at the office, this portable, rechargeable fan handily provides a cool-down when you need one. Its small but powerful design can be used handheld or in its stand that sticks (and can be moved and re-stuck) to surfaces—even upside down. The fan can also give a device a quick power-up thanks to an integrated USB charging port.
4) Heavy Duty Hand Soap Scrubber - Trio Pack
Heavy duty hand soap for seriously dirty clean-ups. This trio of hefty bar soaps is built tough to tackle things like paint, grease, and dirt and has a built-in scrubber to double down on cleaning. A finger rail helps you reach all the grimy spots and there are three levels of intensity to pick from. Soap all gone? You can still use the scrubber.
5) Soleil Monocle Necklace
