Give A Gift Your Family Will Actually Use

This piece was written by the Cracked Shop to tell you about products that are being sold there.

It's the thought that counts, and they know that, but it would also be nice to actually get something useful for the holidays every once in a while. This year, shock everyone by giving something that they'll actually incorporate into their everyday lives! We've got some great ideas. Check them out:
