Top 5 Practical Gifts
1) Scratch-Proof Rubber Tie Down Straps - Set of 2
Use this rubber tie down to do securing, loading, and carrying jobs without the risk of damage. That’s because there are no metal parts in these straps—just durable, lightweight rubber that’s flexible to adapt to many tasks.
2) Silicone Egg Boiler
No more peeling hardboiled eggs, thanks to a silicone egg boiler that can handle making hardboiled egg whites, too. A little non-stick spray or cooking oil, six eggs (or whites) and this flexible, flat-bottom tray are all you need to boil up a quick-and-easy snack.
3) Long Garden Weeding Tool & Cultivator
This long garden weeding tool and cultivator multitasks while saving your back. Stand as you efficiently weed, plant, dig and more. A proven traditional blade design on a 54” wooden handle make it a joy to use, and its lightweight, rugged construction will last season after season.
4) ImmiX™ Adjustable Wrench Multitool
This adjustable wrench multitool unites the capabilities of 34 full-sized tools into a single unit. A patented design works with nearly any nut, bolt, or screw. A powerful grip multiplies your turning force so hands don’t cramp or slip. Great for home, work, truck, and dorm. Made in the USA.
5) Silicone Organization Band 6-Pack
Organize, wrap, and corral with packing bands that can help out with many jobs. This set of durable and stretchy silicone bands comes with two of each different size. The bands can be linked to work together, or secure one to itself—there’s no metal parts to cause any scratches or snags. A band fits the bill for tasks like keeping clothes tidy in luggage (there’s even indicators for clean and dirty laundry), sealing open bags in the pantry and more.
