Maybe it's time to bring unsexy back. Sure, it'll be a tough sell, but sometimes the best holiday gifts are — brace yourself because this will sound like gift blasphemy — practical.

Practical, however, doesn't have to be ordinary or boring. But useful is sadly out of fashion.

It's easy to stress about a gift for particularly fashion-forward or stylish friends. It's far easier to give them something they don't need a special occasion to wear or use.

Most people wince at the thought of giving people socks and underwear, but these are surely the wardrobe items that need to be replaced most often.

And no, I'm not advocating wrapping up an economy bag of Fruit of the Loom tighty whiteys, but there are options. Boxers, 1305 Washington Avenue or online at mensunderwearstore.com , offers an upgrade in underwear for men with options that aren't just fun but sensible — think comfort, support, even shaping. Next door, their sister store, Beverly's Hill or 123underwear.com , offers a variety of attractive yet practical items for women. The typical bra, panty or lingerie gifts are so uber-sexy that they are more fantasy and fetish than everyday, but there's a happy medium that's a realistic upgrade in day-to-day underwear yet still worth unveiling.

And now let’s look at some use cases.
