To take the guesswork out of buying gifts this year, we at Sioux Empire Today 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) Urban 21 Commuter Backpack

This water-resistant and travel-ready backpack will let you arrive to any destination in style—while keeping you cool under pressure. Padding on the back of the bag helps regulate heat and keeps you dry while a top hard shell compartment protects your most delicate items from a rough commute.
2) MedPlanner Medicine Organizer

The MedPlanner Medicine Organizer neatly and discreetly corrals medication, medical devices, and other healthcare essentials. The hardshell, ringed case holds seven zip-top pouches (that you can write on) and has a stretchy grid which works together to organize medication, vitamins, or small devices like an inhaler, EpiPen, or insulin. An easy-open loop was made for folks with dexterity issues in mind.
3) Loopit Tangle-Free Earbud Cord

A shake is all it takes for Loopit headphones to untangle themselves. Magnets connect the earbuds and audio jack, sidestepping the threat of tangled wires. Use the magnets as a clasp and you can wear the headphones like a cord necklace—and easily remove it when you need to switch from an accessory to a phone call or listening to music.
4) Ergonomic Oyster Shucker

This oyster shucker makes a tough job easier and it gives back to the ocean, too. The stainless steel blade extends fully into the handle for boosted durability and has a bent tip that provides the perfect pivot point to crack open the shell. An ergonomic thumb print on the sturdy recycled plastic handle gives you a firmer grip. Pair with the optional cut-resistant shucking cloth, and you'll be ready for an oyster feast.
5) X1 Apple Car Charger with Lightning Connector
