This year, skip the usual and go for something that’s not only functional but also fun, unique, and totally personalized! Whether it’s a soft throw to snuggle up with, a cool kitchen gadget, or some quirky decor, our home gift guide has all the cozy, comfy, and totally awesome ideas you need to spread some serious holiday cheer. Get ready to gift them something they'll actually use—and love!
We're starting our list off strong with this cute and fuzzy blanket from Anthropologie - because you can never go wrong with a warm blanket this time of year. This neutral colored checked pattern will add dimension and warmth to any space - and movie night - and if your blanket recipient isn't a beige-lover, check out the baby blue color instead.
While these mugs might be a bit of a treasure hunt to track down, the Starbucks Been There mugs are a superb gift for anyone in your life, not just the coffee-lovers. Stop by your local Starbucks or a location when you're traveling for the holidays to see if they're in stock - or check out Starbuck's Amazon page to scope out home sweet home on a mug.
These little lamps have been on the rise in popularity and we understand why. Candle warmer lamps are a more stylish but still functional way to use your candles without involving a flame, which can be ideal for students living in dorms, your coworker's decorated desk, or your aunt who tends to forget to blow out her candles before leaving the house.
Linked below are some of our favorites from Amazon:
Curves are it for design right now, so we're wanting to add curves everywhere - even the kitchen. We love these cutting boards from Zara Home which add a little bit of an organic feel to the kitchen countertop and come in three different sizes.
Who doesn't love something mini? This Le Creuset ® 8-Oz. Stoneware Mini Cocotte is the perfect gift for the baker in your life or the one who loves to whip up a little sweet treat before bed.

Level up the coffee lover in your life's coffee experience with this fancy Bodum x Crate & Barrel Double Wall French Press that not only comes in this gorgeous smoky color, but also a crisp clear. French presses are great gifts as they are an environmentally friendly way to brew some coffee, but also makes a richer and better tasting cup of joe than other methods. As coffee lovers ourselves, we're putting this chic French press on our Christmas list.
A great gift for parents, in-laws, friends or workers is simply a scent! Candles and diffusers are easy but boujee gifts, and we're fans of anything from Apotheke to make a home, office and every space in between smell divine.
