Useful gifts may not be the razzle-dazzling darling of the gift giving world, but of any of the presents I ever receive, it is always these that I enjoy the most. A well-made useful gift won't simply be worn once for special occasions or propped on a shelf for a season...these workhorses of giftland will be put to use and appreciated year-round. Love that!
