Practical gifts don't get enough credit. Sure, they aren't usually glamorous, but a great practical gift is something that the recipient will say a silent prayer of thanks for with each use because it - and you, the brilliantly clever giver - has made their life a little easier. And isn't that the greatest gift of all?
Another wonderful thing about practical presents is that they come in all shapes, sizes, and price points. Cleaning tools, kitchen gadgets, disaster preparedness kits - no matter your budget, a useful gift is within reach and, I would argue, often feels like money better spent. The following 15 useful and giftworthy picks are the ones I am most excited to give, and I hope they inspire you, too!
