Holiday Gifts for the Home

Untitled design (10)

It can be exhausting to come up with unique Christmas gift ideas every year, so this year let us help you out. They say home is where the heart is, so when you’re buying gifts, a home-related present is always a good idea. Whether you’re looking for something practical, beautiful, or quirky, there are items for every style and budget. Here are a few of our favorites.

Picture Frame

With everyone collecting photos on their phone, social media, and other digital options, an actual photo in a beautiful frame can stand out and is a reminder of loved ones and memories throughout the year. A great place to find a unique and thoughtful picture frame is Etsy. There are so many options to choose from including handmade frames that you wouldn’t be able to find anywhere else. Here’s a pro tip: when ordering from Etsy, be sure to check the shipping options to give yourself plenty of time for the gift to arrive.

Address Stamp

Custom gifts always hit home! If you know someone who might want to upgrade from the standard return-address labels, order them a personalized address stamp. They’re not only efficient, but they are also environmentally friendly.  Some great online shops to purchase custom address stamps are Simply Stamps and once again, Etsy.

Herb Garden

A window herb garden is a great gift for your gardener and chef friends. This gift is extremely useful and it also makes for a fun project. There are lots of options, but this one available from Uncommon Goods has a little color, loads of vintage charm, plus a passive hydroponic system that makes it easy to grow herbs.

Amazon Echo

This voice-controlled device from Amazon will allow you to play music, make calls, send and receive texts, get whether reports and more. There’s even a feature that will allow you to ask what the value of your home is.

Charcuterie Board

Who doesn’t love a charcuterie board? A charcuterie board is an easy appetizer option to feed friends and family during holiday gatherings. You can find a great selection of charcuterie boards at your local TJ Maxx or HomeGoods, but if you want to take this gift one step further, you can order a personalized board from Etsy!

Ring Doorbell

See, hear, and speak to anyone at your front door from your phone, tablet, or PC. Get instant alerts when visitors press your doorbell or trigger the motion sensors. For about $100 on Amazon, you can get the system and instantly up your home’s security.

Looking for something else? Amazon has some interesting items in their home gift guide and Houzz has some great choices, as does Wayfair.
