Top 5 Practical Gifts
1) Water Bottle Humidifier
A water bottle humidifier makes it easy to add moisture to the air in your space, wherever that space might be. The compact, USB-powered design fits onto most standard water bottles and is suited to work in small areas (think desk or bedside table) or while you’re traveling. Features like light modes, adjustable spray, and a timer help set the just-right scene. You can even add essential oils to the water.
2) Multifunctional Blade Sharpener Tool
The all-in-one SHARPAL blade sharpener for knives, pruners, and tools packs three powerful uses in one. The sharpening slots, carbide bar, and ceramic bar restore and sharpen all kinds of kitchen, gardening, and workshop gear. The large, soft-grip handle and safety handguard allow comfortable, secure use, even with gloves.
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) 10" Wrap Reusable Cold Pack
With an adhesive long ice pack, you can sit back and relax or keep moving while icing a sore shoulder, ankle, knee, or another tender spot. A medical-grade, non-toxic nano-gel lets this reusable cold pack comfortably stick to your skin without irritating it or pulling out hair. Made in the USA.
5) Classic Silicone Cake Baking Mold
A detailed silicone cake mold is an easy way to make better-looking cakes. A non-stick mold made of food-grade silicone is easy to prepare (no greasing) and clean (dishwasher safe). Soft yet durable, it won’t crack or lose shape over time and will yield treats that look like they came from a bakery.
