A big thanks to QVC and ShopStyle Collective for sponsoring this post. These practical gifts are pretty dang cool.

When it comes to people who are hard to shop for, my dad ranks pretty high on the list. He’s as practical as the day is long, and if it isn’t something that serves a valuable function, it’s all fluff in his opinion. This makes it very hard for my siblings and I to come up with gift ideas for him. One time, my sister noticed that the lunchbox my dad strapped to his bike when he biked to work was getting pretty dinged up. She thought a new lunchbox was a safe bet. When my dad opened up the gift, he told my sister she didn’t need to spend money on him–his old lunchbox still had plenty of life left in it.

If you know anyone like my dad, or if you have practical tendencies yourself, these QVC December deals are for you!
