Adulthood doesn't happen overnight.

Sure, your favorite 20-somethings may have crossed the legal threshold into adulthood, but have they ever ironed a shirt? Do they eat from plates, or do they use a medium-sized Frisbee? Do they know what Swiss chard is?

See? Adulting is hard.

It may seem tempting to heap your beloved adult-in-training with colanders and scented trash bags this holiday season, but resist the urge: adults-in-training deserve fun gifts too. Luckily, there are lots of gift options that are useful, utilitarian and not the most boring things on Earth.

See? Adulting can be fun.
