Webp 21edited

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

To take the guesswork out of buying gifts this year, we at River Bend Times 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 Gifts Under $500

1) Beginner's Safety Razor Gift Set
The Rookie Razor cuts clean and close to the skin. And it’s a great induction into better, less wasteful way of shaving. The double-edged blade won’t tug or pull on hair, so you get smooth shave minus the ingrowns and irritation. The buffer between the blade’s edge and your skin gives extra safety, too. The gift set comes with everything you could possibly need to groom, including extra blades, shaving creams, and alum matches (in case you get a nick).

2) “Vanilla" Book by Patricia Rain
Follow along with recipes from the Vanilla Queen, Patricia Rain, as she traces the history of vanilla across the globe and back to its earliest days. Learn how to let this versatile spice shine in any cuisine. Don’t just limit yourself to cookies and cakes—vanilla is a stealthy flavor enhancer in savory dishes, too.

3) Olive Wood Kamsah Dipping Set

4) 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.

5) Paper Bouquet
FreshCut Paper: Set of 3 - Pink Tulips
