It's always fun to get impractical gifts -- like a Harry Potter remote control wand or an Apple watch. But sometimes, the best gifts are things you really need (or at least should have), but don't want to buy yourself.

So we rounded up 13 oh-so-practical gifts -- like a Crock-Pot (so you don't have to spend so much money on Seamless this winter) and a new carry-on (so you can replace that old ratty one you've been dragging around the airport) -- that would make anyone happy.
