Toledo Reporter Christmas Gift Guide: Top Unusual Gifts

Webp 7edited

Christmas shopping for your adult friends and family can be difficult.

To take the guesswork out of buying gifts this year, we at Toledo Reporter asked our friends at The Grommet for their latest and greatest practical gift suggestions for 2021.

These guides are geared towards specific interests. You’ll be able to find something for even the toughest person on your Christmas shopping list.

Top 5 Unusual Gifts

1) Crossbody Phone Case & Strap
Hera Cases: Crossbody Phone Case & Strap - iPhone XS MAX - Yellow

2) 2.4 Gallon Kitchen Caddie Compost Bin
It’s like a suitcase for your kitchen waste. This handy caddy holds it all until it’s ready for the composter. The lockable lid helps keep the stink inside—and not in your kitchen.

3) Collapsible Dolly
The Dozop Collapsible Dolly makes moves both big and small much easier. It’s lightweight (under five pounds) and easy to assemble (takes around a minute) without needing any tools to put it together. The dolly can handle up to 250 pounds of what you need to move and inline skate wheels boost maneuverability over carpet and uneven surfaces. Parts are stored inside the self-contained design to compactly stow away between jobs.

4) Floating Flower Pin Vase
This floating flower vase creates the illusion of blossoms blooming straight up from the ground. The magic comes from brass pins in an acrylic tray that sits in the shallow ceramic vessel. Place a stem on a pin (the wider the better, like gerbera daisies—but not woody stems, like roses) and the flower will take in as much water as it needs—and stand tall in a striking display.

5) Bacon Bin Silicone Grease Container
This silicone bacon grease container might be small, but it does drains and pipes a huge favor. Pour hot bacon grease into the BPA-free bin to keep it from gunking up your plumbing and to keep it handy for other cooking jobs. A strainer makes sure no stray bacon bits make their way through. Put the lid on and you can store this cute container on the counter or in the fridge or freezer.
