23 Best Practical Gifts 2022 That Are as Chic as They Are Functional: Glossier, Therabody, Touchalnd

The season of gift-giving is officially upon us, which means it’s time to start the age-old, head-scratching tradition of picking out the perfect gift for everyone on your list. As experienced gift-givers ourselves, we know that holiday shopping can become overwhelming very quickly — so we have some advice for you. When in doubt, go with a practical present that’ll make their lives easier and always get put to good use.

But just because they don’t necessarily come with bells and whistles, that doesn’t mean practical gifts do not have to be boring. After all, there’s nothing mundane about a luxurious weighted blanket that’ll keep your loved ones cozy and warm while easing their anxiety at the same time. Perhaps it’s time to convert your loved ones to the bidet life, because no one likes an irritated bum or running to the store at a moment’s notice to restock toilet paper. 

To help you ease into the holiday season — whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, or just feel like indulging your loved ones, we’ve curated the best practical gift ideas that anyone on your list would appreciate. (And they’ll think of you every time — perhaps even every day — they make use of said useful gifts.) 

P.S. Check out the rest of our gift guides if you’re still stuck after reading through this roundup. We promise you’ll find a thoughtful gift that meets all of your requirements — and maybe even find an item or two on your own wishlist.
