Christmas shopping for your adult friends and family can be difficult.
To take the guesswork out of buying gifts this year, we at Santa Clara Today 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.
1) End Grain Double Cheese Board
Serve to impress. From log to glossy, end grain cheese board—it’s all harvested and assembled locally in a small Nova Scotia mill. They cut the Larch wood to expose its intricate patterns and gradients. But besides the aesthetic benefits, the flexible end grain will self-cleanse and self-heal after you cut. It even has rubber feet to prevent moisture from getting trapped. With proper care and seasoning, this heirloom cutting board will last you a lifetime.
2) Corn Butter Knife – Set of 2
Butter your cob right the first time. This corn butterer conforms to the cob’s contour and distributes it evenly—not a kernel left behind. Its curved stainless steel blade has a beveled edge so you can scoop straight from the tub or slice the stick, then spread in a single motion. Plus, there are two knives so you don’t have to wait your turn.
3) BBQ Rib Skinner
This BBQ rib skinner gets to the meat of the matter. Crafted from sturdy steel with precise jaws and a non-slip grip, it easily removes membranes from pork and beef in one stroke. Without that extra fatty layer, seasoning can reach meat directly for a meal with more tasty tenderness.
4) Lighted Spatula
A dishwasher-safe spatula with an LED light built into the handle makes grilling a breeze, day and night.
5) Stainless Steel Smoking Pouch
This stainless steel smoking pouch is the catalyst to a great grill session. Fine mesh limits air flow into the metal pouch, so wood chips heat quickly but won’t catch fire. Lay the non-rust pouch among proteins and veggies to infuse it all with tasty smoky flavor.
