This is why we can have nice things.
Whether shopping for a significant other, extended family member, friend or maybe even yourself, gifts for the home are always appreciated. It’s inspiring to live in a beautiful, healthy environment so consider these gifts an investment in someone you love’s betterment.
Smart Alarm Clock
A number of factors impact sleep quality and how one wakes up ready (or not) for the day matters. Waking up to a blaring alarm isn’t enjoyable and is no way to start the day. And while the soft wake-up might be the most important and appreciated feature of this Smart Alarm Clock by Loftie, this clock will actually enhance the entire sleep cycle from helping one unwind with guided meditations and providing soft sounds throughout the night. Know someone who isn’t always chipper in the morning? Consider this an investment in everyone’s wellbeing.
Stove Top Espresso Maker
Talk about a statement piece for the stovetop! This stunning espresso maker designed by Italian architect and designer Michele De Lucchi is sure to receive attention and compliments from guests. A fresh take on a traditional silhouette, this angular, layered work is one item we wouldn’t mind keeping on the countertop 24/7.
Hue Play Starter Kit
Add a little ambiance with this fun, customizable Hue Play Starter Kit from Philips Hue. Consider this for someone who could use a softer touch with their space or would enjoy the tech features over something like a lamp. The Hue can sync with Spotify and do all kinds of other things, but one need not utilize all of these features to enjoy its functionality. Simple under-lighting might be the lighting world equivalent of the fresh coat of paint as it’s an easy way to upgrade a room without breaking the bank.
RT85 Turntable with Ortofon Cartridge
There’s something special about listening to music in the way it intended to be enjoyed. Think vinyl over streaming and a full album vs. collections of individual songs. Music from the ‘50s-’70s on vinyl just hits different, even if it’s a bit scratchy. In some ways the wear of decades of appreciation adds to the experience. Gift this to someone when you have a free afternoon to explore a neighborhood record store together to help stock the shelf with a few favorites.
Backgammon Set
One can gift a backgammon board, but gifting accompanying luck is a different story. Think of this beautiful set from Queensell as equal item and experience as the game means nothing on its own without sharing it with others. If new to Backgammon, the blend of luck and skill make this an enduring favorite for board game aficionados and beginners alike.
Filtered Shower Head
Upgrade someone’s shower with a filtered shower head that might do more than improve water pressure. This filtered shower head from Jolie Skin Company softens water and many reviewers swear it helped with hair loss and promoted healthier skin. Easy to install, do it yourself to gain a few brownie points for your work.
New York Chic
Everyone needs a few beautiful coffee table books and “New York Chic” by Armand Limnander is one of our favorites. As any New Yorker will tell you, New York City is the greatest city in the world. The beauty. The energy. The history. The luxury. The opportunity and so much more. Consider this for anyone who has lived, or desires to live, in the city.
Dimmable LED Pharmacy Floor Lamp
Can one have too many lamps? It’s unlikely you know anyone who does. A good lamp has visual appeal, but a great lamp is also convenient, adjustable and sturdy. Dimmable is a must and we love this floor lamp from O’Bright (heck of a name for a light company, amiright?).
Scotch Plaid Flannel Robe (Princess Mary)
Going away this winter? Perhaps for a ski trip with friends or on a little romantic getaway into the mountains? A bathrobe is perfect for transitioning into the hot tub or sauna, or simply for lounging with no place to be. This L.L. Bean Scotch plaid flannel robe is comfortable with a classic style. It comes in a variety of plaids, but we’re partial to the Princess Mary red and green this time of year.
Holiday Reed Diffuser
There are two types of people in the world. Those who decorate for the holidays and those who don’t. For those who decorate, you know they will appreciate a holiday scent to compliment their space. For those who do not decorate, they’ll appreciate a little bit of help getting into the holiday spirit and making their space more seasonal and welcoming. Even if someone already has this exact same holiday reed diffuser from NEST, they’ll want to place this in another room. You can’t go wrong here.
The Bottom Line
We covered a lot of ground with these selections, but thoughtful and practical home-related gifts are always appreciated.
