Last week, I shared gift guides for men, women, and kids/babies. On the women’s guide, I mostly shared clothing/accessories/beauty ideas.
Today, I put together some inspo for gifts for the home–these are all ideas for the homebody or hostess. All very cozy.
I’m sharing my favorite candle company, the blanket that will surprise exactly none of you, and the best place to order sentimental photo gifts.
Gift Ideas For The Hostess + Homebody
I can’t think of a better way to kick off this list than with Hotel Lobby Candles. These are the BEST and make such a great gift for the candle snob or “woman who has everything” in your life. My favorite in-stock scents are the Signature, New York, and Spa. Shop with my referral link for $10 off!
I am SO excited to be partnering with Artifact Uprising this season because I have been a loyal customer for 8 years! My first purchase was a photo book I made for our wedding pictures, and since then I have tried to put together a photo book at the end of every year. Their books and prints are such great quality and turn family memories into heirlooms.
You can’t go wrong with a photobook, of course. I love the Color Series line for gifts and the classic hardback books are so beautiful. I got each of our moms one of these brass and woods display boxes that are designed to hold a stack of their Everyday Prints in the back. Use my link and code RUTH15 for a discount at checkout on your order.
You’ll never be in the wrong for getting someone a Barefoot Dreams blanket. This was my Christmas present when I was pregnant right after I had Charlotte. I have used every single day for five years, and it is still in perfect condition. You might call it my safety blanket. The solid colors are beautiful, but I have the “In the Wild” print and still love it.
My friend Lizz is such a talented calligrapher and artist and has the CUTEST prints, cards (these Christmas cards are so sweet), and home items in her Etsy shop. Grab one of her printables and put it in one of these frames for an easy, thoughtful, and affordable gift. I also love her tea towels.
I spotted these checkerboard coasters from Subtle Art Studios at this adorable boutique in Minneapolis this summer. They have so many cute colors.
I have been debating the Hatch Restore for years. It seems like everyone who has it LOVES it. This is a sound machine and alarm clock all in one. You can set it to do red light at night to help wind down your system, and the “wake up” feature gently and gradually gets brighter so you wake up more naturally in the morning. It looks like it’s $40 off right now too!
It’s hard to choose bedding for someone else, but these silk pillowcases from Brooklinen make a luxurious, homey gift for anyone on your list.
Now that we’ve sort of graduated from Early Parenthood Survival Mode, I feel like we are almost ready to move on to a more economical coffee situation than our multiple daily Nespresso habit? I have been eyeing the Chemex pour over setup (love this glass handle version!), and this Fellow Kettle is just so chic.
Don’t underestimate a good Galison puzzle as a gift. I love this Christmas in Strasbourg one, this double-sided beachy Italy one, and this Nutcracker one.
Magnolia’s Hearth & Home line at Target always has great, affordable gift options. I love this cookbook stand, these black measuring cups, and this wood serving board.
I got a huge kick out of these 12 Days of Christmas dessert plates from Anthro. Also, I can’t stop looking at these iridescent wine glasses–and champagne flutes, omg! And, of course, I love these little French frames.
For the game-obsessed family: Anthro’s version of Scrabble, Monopoly, and Tic Tac Toe.
