Practical gifts you can be sure won't end up in the back of your closet

When it comes to holiday gifting, sometimes practical gifts are the best way to go. But listen up: Just because a present is practical, does not mean it’s boring. In fact, gifts that you can actually use on a daily basis are anything but humdrum — they’re amazing because they serve a real purpose.

Super-comfy sneakers, sleek silverware sets and portable phone chargers, for instance, are just a few perfect examples of practical items that loved ones would be more than happy to receive this holiday season. And when in doubt, simply think of something you would personally love to get and go from there. Because chances are, if you’d want it, someone else will too.

Now without further ado, find seven practical gift options for everyone on your list this year.

If that isn’t enough, they also have over 9,000 four-star reviews, so you know it’s legit.
