Ah, the home. There’s no place like it!
…Which is why, when gifting presents, it’s the perfect place to focus on. The home is where we spend most of our time, where we entertain, where we raise our families, and where we have some of life’s most special moments. So, it’s no wonder why everyone can appreciate and love a great home-based gift!
Below are some gift ideas, all focused around the home. I hope you + your loved ones enjoy these selections as much as I do!
Charming Gift Ideas For The Home
Our Place Always Pan
It’s a cult-favorite, best selling pan for a reason. The Our Place Always Pan is a do-it-all wonder that replaces eight (yes, eight!) traditional pieces of cookware. It comes in a ton of color options (we have the “Blue Salt”) and can be used as a fry pan, saute pan, steamer, skillet, saucier, saucepan, non-stick pan, spatula, and spoon rest. It also just so happens to be made of a non-toxic, nonstick ceramic coating made without potentially toxic materials like PFOAs, PTFEs, other PFAs, lead, cadmium, toxic metals, and nanoparticles.Yea, yea!
Looking for more home cooking options? Our Place has a ton more! We have the Stackable Drinking Glasses and love them; they’d make another great gift!
Decorative (And Personalized!) Throw Blanket
Every home can always use a throw blanket; nothing embraces the feeling of hygge better than something that promotes cozy cuddles! I love the Italian Plaid Throw Blanket (Bonus points for this one because you can personalize it!) + the Ugg Coastline Plush Throw Blanket is one of our family’s favorites. (This is also on my Gift Guide for Her — I’m obsessed!)
Wicker Scalloped Frames
Handwoven from natural + sustainably sourced rattan, and the most lovely addition to any home’s walls! These are designed to stand or hang, so they’re equally versatile. I adore these frames; they’re on my personal wish list this year.
Anecdote Candles
A favorite gift item for this season! Anecdote candles = THE perfect gift. (Here they are in pretty glass options!) They smell amazing, and their witty sayings double as a fun little wink to the person you’re giving them to. Just one look at the 2022 candle – which smells like “High hopes and low expectations” – tells you all you need to know. Fun sayings for gifts are Adulting (“Smells like early nights and steady paychecks”) + Snow Day (“Smells like a change of plans and a cup of cocoa”) + Mistletoe (“Smells like a silent wingman”) I have the “Sweater Weather” one currently (“Smells like crisp air and cashmere cardis”) and it smells heavenly!
Skylight Frame
Skylight is a digital photo frame that you can email photos + videos to, and they appear in the frame within seconds! This was a gift for my dad & step-mom last year and they LOVED it. It’s a great gift because the whole crew can participate — my siblings and I uploaded photos to the frame, and continually added through the year. It makes photo sharing (and displaying!) quick, easy and seamless. Can’t recommend this gift enough!
Use code ISNTTHATCHARMING for $10 off orders of $100 or more. (Huge thanks to the brand for sending this to us!)
Decorative Bookends
Bookends are such a great gift – they are fun, easy to swap in and out, and are always useful in the home. Doug and I received our Agate Bookends (Under $50!) as a present when we got married, and they’re still one of my favorite year-round decorative items. Some additional great options for gifting include: Stone Bookends in Brass (Also love these in Stone) +
Stasher Bags
Yes, my friends, I’m recommending food storage bags. Hear me out. Stasher Bags have *literally* cut our single plastic bag usage in half at home. They’re amazing. Truly. Freezer, dishwasher & microwave safe. Made of non-toxic, food-grade silicone. Can be used for everything from storing leftovers, marinating steaks, freezing smoothie ingredients, or packing lunch. It’s a versatile bag that’s eco-friendly! Great gifting options include the Half Gallon Bag + Sandwich Bag + Stand Up Bag. Gift one or all!
Reusable Paper Towels
Fun fact: One Papaya towel replaces 17 (SEVENTEEN!!!) rolls of paper towels. They’re all natural, compostable, antibacterial, 20x more absorbent than a regular ol’ paper towel, and no doubt should be in every person’s kitchen. I also adore the all the designs — they double as a dish towel and paper towel!
If you’re into this idea, definitely also check out Reusable Beeswax Storage Wraps!
Favorite Games To Play Together
Games are always a great idea to gift! Our family loves playing games — from cards to Scrabble, it’s such a great way to spend time together. I always find this to be a great gift idea for parents and friends, because it promotes all things fun and togetherness. Suggestions include: Scrabble for Anthropologie (Gorgeous, right?!) + Vintage Clue + Chinese Checkers + The Hygge Game + Jenga.
Customized Home Watercolor Print
I simply adore this idea – a customized watercolor print of someone’s happy home. A childhood home? A new home? Get it painted by this incredibly talented artist so your loved one can have a gorgeous print of their own forever! All you have to do is order + send photos along. (Hurry – orders after Nov 30 aren’t guaranteed by Christmas!)
