Full confession: I am guilty of giving gifts that people never use again. I’ve noticed that my best gift ideas always seem like great thoughts at first, but the only time they see the light of day is when they’re opened. Then, they get buried deeper and deeper in a closet until they get tossed into a donation pile and find their final resting place on some shelf full of other unwanted gifts at the local thrift store.
I decided that a little practicality goes a long way when it comes to gift-giving, and I’m ready to share my best finds with you. Stop the thrifting and start useful gifting! From a water bottle with a secret to a wallet-sized Swiss Army knife, here are five gifts they’ll actually want.
