To take the guesswork out of buying gifts this year, we at Central Iowa Times 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) Leather Gadget Bag

Capra Leather: Leather Gadget Bag - Brown
2) To-Go Casserole Carrier

This travel pan securely holds disposable aluminum baking dishes to make for easier (and neater) transport. The dishwasher-safe, BPA-free plastic case has an insert to fit two sizes of dishes, and it looks good enough to serve right out of, too.
3) Root Vegetable Keep Sack

Mastrad: Root Vegetable Keep Sack - Small (Garlic & Shallots)
4) Convertible LED Work Light

From camping trips to DIY jobs, this rechargeable LED helps out in many situations. The magnetic light clicks into a durable component (a flashlight, headlamp, hook, strap, or clip) made from water- and shock-resistant polycarbonate to work where you need it, and at the just-right angle. The 150-lumen LED shines a wide, 70 degree angle of light, has adjustable brightness, four light settings, and can last up to six hours on a single charge.
5) Windy Day Dress Fix Adhesives

Save yourself from a potentially-embarrassing situation with Windy Day Dress Weights. Attach the adhesive and reusable weights to the inside of a hem to give it the weight it needs to stay right where you want it.
