Holiday gift guide for the home! The essentials + new ideas

Holiday gift guide for the home! The essentials + new ideas

• 12.03.2018

I am only doing one gift guide this year so it's full of my most favorite gifts for the home - for homebodies, friends with a new house or apartment, home cooks, or yourself!

There are some essentials for a "gifts for the home" list: a candle, a throw, jewelry storage, the Instant Pot. This year add Joanna Gaines's new book and an essential oil diffuser. But there are quite a few new ideas I've had while shopping this year that I added to this list, too!

Shop any of the items by clicking the black/white plus sign by them, or in the text below the image!

1. Cheese boards like this are so pretty and I have several friends I know would love one of these! I have always thought they are great gift!
2. This little box is so pretty and perfect for holding stud earrings and small jewelry!
3. This book is everywhere this year and for good reason. I’ve picked it up at the store the other day and flipped through it, it is really beautiful! It is definitely on my Christmas list, and that’s saying something because I’ve had a hard time making time for books recently!
4. These coasters are so classy!
5. These agate bookends are just beautiful and so unique! Perfect for someone who likes to style shelves, or of course who loves books!
6. Essential oil diffusers are everywhere this year but I did some research on them for this post… This one has almost 3,500 reviews on Amazon and was recommended and a great article I found. Plus, it is super affordable and cute!
7. We LOVE our Instant Pot and there have been some great deals on them this holiday season. The perfect gift for someone who cooks—but doesn’t have one of these fantastic pressure cookers yet!
8. This notebook is so classy and could be used for anything!
9. I love this cactus grow kit. Perfect for someone with a new home or small space!
10. The Minimalist Kitchen was one of Instagram’s favorites when it came out earlier this year. It is beautiful, fresh, and modern and by the sweet and very stylish Melissa of @thefauxmartha. Love this! 
11. Salad hands are the best salad tossers. Would go perfectly with this cookbook as a gift!
12. I’ve seen crisscross fuzzy slippers a lot lately this season but these from Land’s End are a higher quality than many, and real shearling! A must for slippers for me cause it doesn’t absorb odors, and stats fluffy and warm longer. Great sale on these too!
13. Who doesn’t need a new cozy throw??!
14. I love this overnight bag!
15. We treated ourselves to a Vitamix years ago and have never looked back. If you make smoothies, blended coffee, puréed soups, or slushy drinks you need this!!! And I found a source for them at a great discount here and here.
16. I love giving candles as gifts but they have to have something special about them. This one is handmade (and super stylish and neutral) and has a cute match holder!

Happy gifting!
