4. Create Your Own Gift Box

 

 

Creating your own gift box or bag is an excellent useful gift idea. I do this a lot for friends’ birthdays. The options are endless, and you can tailor them for anyone. Here are a few ideas to throw in a box;

stasher bags, stainless steel straws, collapsable coffee mugs or containers from Stojo.co, the dishblock from notoxlife.com, Swedish dishcloths, beeswax wraps, and reusable cutlery.

6. GroupHug Window Solar Charger

The GroupHug Solar Charger has got to be one of our favourite items. It’s definitely on my list of useful gifts, quite possibly for myself! The company was started by a woman named Krystal Persaud, her story and innovation are brilliant and she’s just getting started.  You can charge phones, headphones, speakers, etc. Anything to keep the electricity bills down is a win in our books!

7. Gift Cards

 

Though gift cards can be a bit impersonal, sometimes this is the best option. Gifting the ability for someone to choose what they want is often better than settling for something nobody wants. Kids would especially enjoy this option, what’s more fun than hitting the toy store to buy whatever you want?

8. Gift an Experience

 

Giving the gift of an experience is the ultimate useful gift idea, and the options are endless. Movies, dinners, vacations, staycations, flights, helicopter tours, wine vineyards, food tours, cruises. There are so many ideas to gift an unforgettable experience, who knows, you may even get to tag along!

9. Always Pan

Click here to buy from Fromourplace.com

Fromourplace.com has over 26k reviews on their cooking pans, that’s pretty impressive for cookware. But we can understand why! Their pans are non-stick and made without all the potentially toxic chemicals and coatings that you’d find in a typical “non-stick” pan. These toxins have no place in anyone’s kitchen and should be avoided. If you’ve not seen the movie “Dark Waters”, definitely give it a watch. Any chef in your life would appreciate an Always Pan in their kitchen.

10. Living Composter
