Top 5 Practical Gifts
1) Glass Cooktop Cleaner Kit
This glass cooktop cleaner takes a plant- and bio-based approach to cleaning up in the kitchen. The non-toxic, eco-friendly formula is made with a coconut oil-derived ingredient and calcium carbonate, a non-abrasive scrubbing agent also found in toothpaste. The cleaner removes messes like burned-on food and stains and leaves a streak-free, glossy finish in its wake. Essential oils provide a light, subtle fragrance. Made in the USA and includes a gentle scrubbing pad.
2) Insulated Phone Case
This insulated phone case keeps a smartphone the just-right temperature while you’re out in either chilly or steamy conditions. Eight layers of insulation are built into the case to protect a phone. Chill it in the refrigerator before hitting the beach or pop it in the microwave before heading out into the cold. If your phone is already overheated or frozen, no worries—the case can restore it in about a minute.
3) Convertible LED Work Light
From camping trips to DIY jobs, this rechargeable LED helps out in many situations. The magnetic light clicks into a durable component (a flashlight, headlamp, hook, strap, or clip) made from water- and shock-resistant polycarbonate to work where you need it, and at the just-right angle. The 150-lumen LED shines a wide, 70 degree angle of light, has adjustable brightness, four light settings, and can last up to six hours on a single charge.

5) Natural Heavy-Duty Hand Soap
This all-natural cleanser proves that industrial hand soap doesn’t have to be harsh. Made with coconut and olive oil to clean and moisturize skin, the gentle cleanser is enhanced with bentonite clay that absorbs odors and oil. It works great on getting grease, oil, and grime off hard-working hands.
