To take the guesswork out of buying gifts this year, we at SW Arkansas 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) Mini Grippers - Set of 2 Pair

These ice grippers make walking on snow and ice safer. Suitable for adults as well as teenagers and older children, Nordic Grip Minis are ideal to wear in any snow or icy conditions. They pull on to the toe box of all types of footwear: formal shoes, trainers, boots, high heels and rain boots .
2) Heavy-Duty Storage Straps

Wrap-It Storage: Heavy-Duty Storage Straps - 10 inch
3) Silicone Drinking Straws - 5-Pack

These reusable silicone straws are soft, flexible, and durable. Two sizes (8.25" and 10.5" long) mean there are straws to suit both drinking glasses and tumblers, and one can easily be cut shorter. An included squeegee makes clean-up easier, too.
4) Tear-Proof & Waterproof Notebook

Woodpecker Labs: Tear-Proof & Waterproof Notebook - Blue
5) Cut to Fit Non-Stick Copper Oven Liner

Say goodbye to burned on messes with a reusable oven liner. Catch drips from pies, casseroles, pizza and more—take it outside to use on the grill, too.
