57 Of The Top Practical Gifts to Give This Year

1. A multifunctional glass kitchen board that brings a lot of style without taking up much space. It serves as a trivet for hot pots and plates, works as a perfect cutting board, and is the ideal display for fruits, meats, and cheeses. Now that's a gouda gift, right?

2. An incredibly cozy pom-pom blanket they'll truly use all 👏 the 👏 time 👏. Weekends spent rewatching The Office and endlessly binging Law & Order: SVU are about to get even more enjoyable.

3. A W&P Porter ceramic mug that's as beautiful as it is functional (this one practically screams Pinterest board). It’s reusable, features a silicone sleeve for protection, and comes with a secure lid press—making it the ultimate companion for your morning strolls.

4. Warm and thick wool socks that feel like a cozy hug for their feet, because who says toes don’t deserve a bit of affection? Plus, these socks do a fantastic job of keeping their feet warm without making them sweaty...and that’s no small feat.

7. A Takeya cold brew maker so they can enjoy their favorite caffeine fix anytime, without the steep $5+ cost (NYC coffee prices are outrageous). This cleverly designed maker features an airtight lid and a stainless-steel filter to keep coffee fresh for up to two weeks.

8. A Daily Harvest box offering the gift of a tasty, wholesome, and fast lunch. You can customize up to nine options for them — good luck choosing from a variety like mint and cacao smoothies, butternut squash harvest bowls, sweet potato flatbreads, avocado-based chocolate fudge ice cream, and much more.

9. An adjustable and expandable wooden caddy tray that even has a special spot for their wine glass. Imagine a bubbly bath bomb and a great show on Netflix, all neatly positioned on a sturdy surface that ensures their laptop stays dry and safe from water damage.

10. A Wilton cooling rack for the friend who either A: runs a food Instagram or B: is *this* close to creating one. This tiered rack is collapsible and can hold up to three dozen cookies (which, let's be real, is exactly how many I'd love to devour in one go).

11. A fragrance discovery set to help them uncover their new signature scent: their senses will be treated to notes of bergamot, cannabis, dark rum, leather, stem, and vetiver.

12. Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later Eye Shadow Base truly ensures their smoky eye and cat-inspired liner stay intact all 👏 day 👏 long 👏. That’s right, folks! No creases, smudging, fallout, or crying under the watch of this cruelty-free stocking stuffer.

18. A Tile Mate that is, *pulls rabbit out of a top hat* pure magic. This small device boasts a 200-foot Bluetooth range and an accompanying app that ensures they never lose their precious belongings again. No shame here — they’ve misplaced their purse at least 37 times.

19. A leak-proof champagne stopper that keeps their bubbly as fizzy as it was when it was first opened. Thanks to the built-in pressure pump, the bubbles are preserved, meaning they don’t have to finish the entire bottle in one go. Now, could someone please pass me a mimosa?

20. A dress shirt that can only be described as one word: crisp. Made with stretch fabric and a stretch collar for the ultimate comfort, it’s destined to be their new favorite essential.

21. A microwave-safe, BPA-free bowl designed to prevent *le gasp* soggy cereal. It’s also ideal for separating chips from dip, soups from sandwiches, fries from ketchup, and more.

24. Jumbo silicone ice molds that will instantly elevate your at-home cocktail experience. These ice cubes, though stylish, are designed to melt slowly, ensuring that your drinks remain chilled without dilution — goodbye to watered-down cocktails and hello to drinks that look like they came from a professional mixologist's guide.

25. Pet steps designed to help your furry companion hop onto their bed — or more accurately, your bed — without struggle. No more half-hearted attempts to jump or those long, pleading stares waiting for you to lend a hand. Personally, I’ve had countless WFH calls interrupted by these antics.

26. A foldover leather tote because it’s high time they replace that old $12 purse from college that they’re still carrying around. It's got lipstick stains in the inner pocket and the strap is starting to unravel. It served its purpose, but it’s time for a new chapter.

27. Organize remote controls with a tiered hammock organizer. No more hunting for the remote in the couch cushions or under the pillows, only to have them tumble out when you shake out the blanket, scattering batteries everywhere. It’s a game-changer for your sanity.

28. A two-piece outfit offering a multitude of styling possibilities: Wear it as a coordinated set, pair the sweater with leggings for a casual look, or combine the pants with a band tee for a laid-back vibe—the options are endless.

33. A Toucan pitcher that turns something as mundane as milk into an exciting experience. Whether it's water, orange juice, or freshly squeezed lemonade, this is the ideal combination of practicality and fun to always have in your fridge. *pours milk from Toucan pitcher into a bowl of sugary cereal, both featuring similar Toucan patterns*

34. A fuzzy sweater praised by reviewers for being irresistibly cozy and soft. If they’re looking for a more stylish take on their favorite fleece pajama top, *this* is the perfect find they've been desperately searching for online.

35. A stainless-steel universal lid that will free up tons of kitchen space. I can already picture them opening a cabinet without everything tumbling out. This lid fits 7- to 12-inch pots, pans, and skillets, and is both dishwasher-safe and heat-resistant up to 425 degrees.

36. An Ecotools makeup cleaner because, yes, those brushes do need a thorough cleaning every now and then. Makeup tools can harbor bacteria (which is basically a recipe for a pimple disaster), and using a brush covered in layers of old foundation is *definitely* not the best way to apply your makeup.

37. A Cora laundry ball designed to mimic the ocean's coral filters. Essentially, this ball works by trapping the microfibers that would otherwise accumulate in your washing machine — and ultimately end up polluting our waterways.

38. A mini fabric steamer that laughs at the toughest wrinkles. Yes, they just grabbed this button-down out of the laundry pile! No, they don’t have another shirt to wear! A quick blast from this steamer (which heats up in a mere 90 seconds) will have that blouse looking like it just came from the dry cleaners.

39. Margarita glasses designed to upgrade their at-home margarita game. Simple yet effective: They can chill these glasses in the freezer until it's time for tequila, and it will keep their drink at the *perfect* temperature (say goodbye to watered-down drinks and melting ice cubes!), plus the silicone grip ensures a comfortable hold.

40. A USB-powered cooling pad for those with a computer that overheats too often, leaving their lap feeling uncomfortably warm. This cooling pad solves that issue easily: It features three fans and is so lightweight, it barely feels like it's there.

41. A 6-quart Vortex air fryer that lets them enjoy all their favorite comfort foods — think wings, glazed donuts, charred Brussels sprouts, and sesame chicken — *without* the need for hot oil. It's also perfect for reheating leftovers to crispy perfection!

42. Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream, a fan-favorite for a reason: This powerhouse cream uses hyaluronic acid and peptides to boost skin elasticity, hydrate, and visibly smooth out fine lines with just a few applications. Plus, it's fragrance-free!

43. Reusable twist ties that will finally put an end to all those "this charging cord is hopelessly knotted" moments. These simple yet clever rubber ties are an ideal (and smart) stocking stuffer, keeping everything from chargers to USB cables neatly in place.

44. A tailored fit top coat because the chilly weather is getting more intense, and that hoodie just won't do anymore. This coat, crafted from a durable yet soft fine wool blend, offers both warmth and sophistication in one sleek package.

45. An ergonomic foot rest that practically *forces* them to sit with better posture. This will not only help them avoid slouching while working on their laptop, but it will also alleviate the back and foot discomfort caused by slouching.

46. A Wilton color swirl piping kit because while they may have perfected that Pinterest recipe, using a butter knife to frost the cupcake they worked so hard on is just not going to cut it. They should definitely try this piping kit instead.

47. Keurig cleaning cups to give your coffee machine a thorough cleanse (#poetry) in just a few minutes. All they need to do is pop this biodegradable cleaner in like a regular cup of coffee, and then watch in awe as the grime from their daily brew is revealed.

48. A "Did you feed the dog?" sign for those living with a partner or roommate who share the responsibility of dog care. If you've had several occasions where your pup ate two breakfasts due to human forgetfulness... this is a must-have item.

49. A microfiber duster that might just make cleaning, dare I say, enjoyable!? This nifty tool traps dust with every swipe, and watching all the dirt collect will give them more satisfaction than they could ever expect. *suddenly panicking about the last time I dusted*

50. An Umbra countertop tray that keeps their phone standing tall while also giving it a permanent spot, plus it doubles as a catch-all for miscellaneous items piling up on their desk: keys, jewelry, loose change, and everything else.

51. A shower caddy with a sturdy adhesive backing that can handle all their conditioners (seriously, why do they have so many?). Just peel it, stick it to the shower wall, wait twelve hours, and it's ready for action.

52. This Lodge pre-seasoned cast-iron skillet works magic by sautéing, searing, baking, broiling, braising, frying, and grilling with outstanding results. Looking for the ideal kitchen gift for a friend who just moved into a new place? This versatile skillet is a must-have, perfect for making any meal from breakfast to dinner with ease.

53. A silicone strainer and colander set that’s perfect for those with compact kitchens (especially for my fellow New Yorkers). These collapsible tools are easy to store and save precious space on counters and in cabinets, making them a must-have for tight spaces.

54. This portable Marshall Bluetooth speaker comes with a sleek design and top-notch sound quality that feels like a bonus. It offers over 20 hours of playback on a single charge, connects to your phone from up to 30 feet away, and features a stylish carrying strap for easy portability.

55. These bedsheet holders will keep everything securely in place — a must-have if you or your partner tend to toss and turn while sleeping. This gift is as much for you as it is for them.

56. An OXO three-blade spiralizer that will give them the illusion of enjoying a pasta meal, though it's not quite pasta. It might sound like a trick, but zoodles are surprisingly delicious — plus, this tool can turn an entire zucchini into noodles in no time. Veggies made fun and tasty!

57. A vacuum sealer that helps reduce food waste *and* saves money in the long haul. Ideal for those who like to buy in bulk (looking at you, friend with a Costco membership), it helps keep food fresh longer and takes up much less space in your fridge compared to bulky packaging.
