To take the guesswork out of buying gifts this year, we at Washington Isle 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) 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.
2) 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.
3) QuickDraw Dual-Use Utility Knife
This folding utility knife is made to do many jobs in one easy-to-handle, durable design. The extra-long blade is fully retractable, and is accessible whether the knife is open or closed. A safety lock keeps the knife from flipping open when the blade is extended, while a built-in wire stripper and blade snap-off channel rounds out this rugged—and multi-functional—knife.
4) Universal Picture Hanging Tool
Perfectly straight and perfectly hung frames thanks to this picture hanging tool. It guides you to place things in the best position without having to measure—and with fewer mistake holes. It's compatible with different types of hardware, but optimized for wire frames.
5) Original Wearable Ice Pack
