To take the guesswork out of buying gifts this year, we at Ann Arbor 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 Gift Sets
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) Beard Balm Sets
Specially formulated with a hemp seed, vitamin E and jojoba oil, the balm gives your beard the hold it needs. It smooths, softens, and tames unruly hair—without leaving a greasy finish.
3) Indian Tea & Decorative Tin Gift Box
Vahdam Teas: Indian Tea & Decorative Tin Gift Box - Assorted Chai Tea Blends (3 Tins)
4) Mini Whipped Soap Gift Set
Taylor Street Soap Co.: Whipped Soap Gift Set - Fresh Scents
5) Spice Gallery Gift Set
Take dishes up a flavorful notch with an artisanal spice gift set. Essentials like sea salt and chilli flakes sit alongside out-of-the-ordinary spice blends (ever try lemon peel, sage, and bee pollen?). It’s all directly sourced from growers and farms to ensure purity and freshness, and the blends are unique to Curio Spice Co. A tea towel and handy recipe cards round out this perfectly giftable set.
