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) Reverse Open Drip-Proof Umbrella
The KAZbrella reverse umbrella keeps you dry from rain showers and rain drops alike. Its patented reverse-folding mechanism means this umbrella works upside down to trap water inside a double canopy and avoid unwanted splashes and drips. This also makes it easier to get into cars and through doors without splashing yourself (or anyone else). The umbrella is also designed to stay intact in the face of wind and it won’t blow inside-out.
2) Harlow Monocle Necklace
Seeing is believing with this monocle necklace. It looks like a shiny, sparkly accessory—and it is—but it’s also a stealthy way to see better. Hold the crystal-encrusted, diamond-shaped pendant up to your eye and move what you want to read closer until it comes into focus. It’s a perfectly convenient piece that helps out with reading menus, price tags and more—no glasses needed.
3) Dust Collection Tool
The Dust Catcher is designed to collect dust while you drill holes in different wall surfaces. Constructed with sturdy plastic, non-marring over molded rubber lip, and convenient belt clip and drill guide. Lightweight, long lasting, and compatible with all major power drill brands.
4) Lightweight Kevlar Cinch Lock
Secure your ride—and just about anything else—with a lightweight bike lock that merges a cinch tie and a combination lock in one durable and flexible (not to mention compact) design. The Kevlar® fiber and stainless steel band is cut-resistant, and the aluminum lock is smash-proof, making this lock stronger than some others and easier to take along with you, too.
5) Drop-In Christmas Tree Stand
This easy Christmas tree stand simplifies holiday preparations—just drop the tree in, and the stand automatically adjusts to securely grip the trunk. The one-person setup (and removal) takes just seconds and the stand can work with trees up to 10 feet tall. Refilling and checking water levels is also a snap.
