Perfect gifts for picky people
Gift-giving can be tough. You want to buy something safe enough so you know they’ll like it, but different enough so that it feels special. The Grommet hits the sweet spot between utilitarian and unique, with random why-didn’t-I-think-of-that products from small businesses that you can’t believe you’ve lived without. We’ve scoured the site for the most original options, so whether you want a couch drink holder (how could you not?) or a self back massager (yes, please), we’ve got just the thing to make you a gift-giving hero this year.
