10 Practical Gifts For Your Christmas Stocking

Avatar

Come festive season and you’re always wondering what sort of gifts you’re going to receive.

There are times you get stuff that’s so brilliant it sets the benchmark for gifts thereon, and then there are times you receive things that only deserve a space in the bin.

Between these two kinds of gifts lie our fave – the ones that are practical and actually add value to our lives. Here are 10 of them: 

1. The Shower Tower soap

When a souvenir meets a soap, we get this cute shea butter soapenir. 

Price: AED 95. Buy it here.

2. A pair of GEOX shoes

Who would complain about being on their feet all day long when you’ve got a cool pair to keep your company? Btw, it’s a collaboration with designer Patrick Cox.

Price: AED 690. Buy it at GEOX, MoE.

9. Canon D30 waterproof cameras

Besides being a compact, thin and lightweight camera that produces very good photos and video, did we mention it works in water depth of up to 82ft? And if you’re new to underwater photography, you’d be happy to know it is easy to use with its limited number of buttons and dials.

Price: AED 1,199. Buy it at most electronic stores across Dubai.
