Holiday Gift Guide for the Homebody

December 11, 2017 by jessica 3 Comments

Holiday Gift Guide for the Homebody

If you’re anything like me, you’ve barely started your holiday shopping. I’ve picked up a few things here and there, but shipping deadlines are looming and I’m starting to feel the pressure to check off the last people on my list. In an effort to motivate myself, I’m dedicating this week to gift guides and hopefully it’ll help you wrap up your shopping list, too!

Wool Blanket – I know that inexpensive acrylic throw blankets are tempting, but the best blankets are the ones that withstand the test of time both in terms of quality and aesthetics. This buffalo plaid wool blanket is made by Faribault Woolen Mill Co. in Minnesota. The quality is exceptional, making it one of those items that the recipient will keep for decades, and the checked design works with everything from traditional decor to more contemporary designs. I bought one for myself earlier this year and I can’t tell you how much I love snuggling up with it on chilly nights.

Plant Mister – I was never one for houseplants until we bought our home and now I can’t get enough of them. I’m most successful at raising succulents because of their low-maintenance preferences! One of the items I’d love to own if I ever add any humidity-loving plants to my collection is a brass plant mister. Not only is it practical, it’s a sculptural piece that looks pretty perched on a bookshelf. (You’ll notice that whenever I spot a gift idea that’s both pretty and practical, it’s a win in my book.)

Candle Sticks – Candle sticks are one of those things people love to own, but rarely think to buy for themselves. That’s exactly why they’re a great holiday gift. I love this chic matte black set. Add in a set of white taper candles and you’ve got yourself an incredible gift for the hygge-loving friend on  your list. If your giftee is more on the glam side with her decor, consider this brass set. I have them and they look more expensive than the $40 price tag suggests.

Stoneware Mugs – These totally look like they were scooped up at a pottery shop in a small tourist town (and if you’re near one of those said boutiques, definitely opt for the local version).

Pajamas – These might be on the sexier side of what you’d normally gift someone during the holidays, but they look so good in my guide! Kidding aside, pajamas are a thoughtful gift for someone who looks forward to curling up at home on the weekends. Most people, myself included, neglect updating our pajama drawers and it’s a welcome surprise when someone else does it for us! Avoid flannel sets with seasonal designs and opt for something classic and sophisticated to ensure it gets yearlong use.

Candle – Candles are perfect for someone you don’t know very well, which is likely why they get such a bad rap for being impersonal. However, this small-batch soy candle won’t disappoint thanks to its beautiful packaging.

Silk Eyemask – Indulge your giftee with a silk eyemask. I have an inexpensive one from Amazon, which is fine, but I’d love to own this luxurious cult favorite. It comes in eight colors, including black and charcoal which are great for men, too!

Turntable – I know people are into those Crosley record players; they’re Instagram worthy and wallet friendly. However, they’re not the best for actual music quality and taking care of your vinyl. If there’s an audiophile on your list, it’s worth investing in a turntable from U-Turn. The price for the turntable starts at $289 and the price goes up based on your selections. There’s also a basic model that starts at $179. Dave actually picked it out for us, so it has the male stamp of approval for gift giving this season!

Over the weekend, we drove to Michigan and welcome Over the weekend, we drove to Michigan and welcomed this little lady to the family! She’s a two-year old snow Bengal that was surrendered after being bullied by the other cats in her home. We’re pretty sure she’s a seal lynx point Bengal, which has Siamese in the lineage, based on her vibrant, slightly crossed blue eyes. She is the sweetest, softest, most playful, and unbelievably talkative little girl. We’re crazy about her! 

We haven’t picked a name just yet, though. We have some ideas, but we’re waiting to get to know her personality more. 😊
