The Best Practical Gifts To Give Anyone On Your List

This year, and probably every year, It would hurt to be the Oprah of practical gifts. They serve a purpose and you don’t have to worry about your money going to waste as long as the person uses it at least once. So if that sound like the gift giving that you want to achieve this year, then this practical gift guide is for you.

Throughout the year, I kept tabs on everything my fiance and I ordered, wish listed and received as gifts from Amazon. It turns out that they make great practical gifts for others during the holidays too! So here is a compilation of some of our favorite practical gifts!

The Practical Gift Guide

Ring Video Doorbell

I never thought I needed a doorbell with a camera on it until I got one. This thing is absolutely amazing. It even has an app that connects you with your neighbors. Now we get notification of our deliveries in real time. Yeah delivery guy, we’re watching you.

Amazon Echo Show 5

Compatible with the Ring Doorbell, this little device is amazing to have even if you don’t use it with the Ring Doorbell system. At first I though it was pointless because the Ring has an app. Alexa is like having a whole mom at home. She helps me cook, tells funny stories and she keep us safe.

Windshield Snow Cover

I love not having to sit in my car and wait for the frost to melt from my windows. I know I’m not the only one. Do yourself a favor, if you buy this as a gift for someone else, be sure to get yourself one too!

Allsite Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner

That moment when you spill a load of glitter from the Christmas decoration on the couch and whip out a small vacuum to clean it all up. That’s boss. This tiny little vacuum perfect for making all of those little messes seem like they never happened.

Trapper Hat with Faux Fur

There is nothing warmer than a trapper hat in the winter. I especially love the ones with faux fur on both the inside and outside of them.

Fire TV Stick

We have this thing in every room. In all honesty, I just need it so that I can have unlimited access to CrunchyRoll and Netflix. It also has Disney Plus, Hulu, Youtube, Sling, and ESPN though. It’s also a great money saver for someone who is trying to cut out cable!

Cocktail Shaker and Martini Set

This one still hasn’t graduated from my Amazon wishlist to the cart yet, but I’ve always wanted one of these! In my head I picture myself mixing drinks like the pro bar tender. In reality, I know I won’t look that cool doing it, but the idea is still nice to have.

Instant Pot Duo 60

No, it’s not a Crockpot, but it’s pretty daggone close. My sister and I were amazed at what this little Instant Cooker can do. She was able to make each of her Thanksgiving dishes in 15 minutes with this thing. That’s magical. There’s not much to it but to set it and forget it!

Keurig K-Elite Coffee Maker

I’m not a coffee drinker, but this thing also brews a mean herbal tea! It’s a little bulky, but it’s still an beautiful addition to our kitchen.

Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug 2

Any coffee or tea drinkers? I’m an avid tea drinker so when I stumbled across a mug that keeps drinks at a controlled temperature, I said no way! It’s a little too pricey for my budget, but it’s definitely a nice gift for that special tea or coffee person in your life.

Miroco Electric Kettle Temperature Control Stainless Steel 1.7 L Tea Kettle

I faithfully use this kettle. Everyday. The settings are amazing and it can boil water in under 60 seconds. The “keep warm” setting is my favorite. I’m known to walk away while making tea, so thankfully it keeps the water hot for me.

Crock-Pot 24-Ounce Lunch Crock Food Warmer

I didn’t even know Crockpot made one of these. It’s pretty ingenious and ideal for the person who always brings their lunch or somebody who is constantly on the go. Can you imagine saying: “I’ll just warm up todays meal in my PORTABLE CROCKPOT though?!” Oh you fancy, huh?

Yootech Wireless Charger

Anyone who has a phone with use this religiously! I have an iPhone 8 and it’s 100% reliable as long as it is not inside the phone case. You want to be sure to center your phone on the charger, otherwise it won’t charge your phone. However they do make phone cases that are compatible with wireless chargers too!

Homasy Cool Mist Humidifier Diffuser

Humidifiers save lives in the winter. Okay, I’m not sure if that statement is 100% true, but it has been crucial for me to have it on. In my home, we constantly run the heat because I cannot stand to be cold. The only thing is I would wake up every morning with a dry throat and stuffy nose from it. As long as I have the humidifier running, moisture is doing it’s thing!

Anker PowerCore 5000 Portable Charger

I feel like the demand of portable chargers were at an all time high when Pokémon Go regained popularity. Nobody wanted to lose a raid or miss out on shinys because their phone died. That’s tragic. My fiancé used it more than I did, but it was especially convenient for our long flights and layovers when we traveled to Jamaica previous years.

I hope this this list of my favorite Amazon items will be a huge help to you and your search of practical gifts this holiday season.
