Gift Ideas for the Home

Check out these gift ideas for the homebody and decor lover in your life

What better way to prepare for the gift-giving season than to shop local? For those on your shopping list who love home decor and other items to spruce up their abode, look no further than these Christmas figurines, home fragrances, fresh foliage, and more — all available locally.

Gardening Tools
Curb appeal often is high on home lovers’ wish lists, so why not get them something for their garden? Colonial Classics appeals to the homebody with a green thumb. Tools start at $14.99 and include anything from garden gloves to watering cans and pruners.

Holiday Planter
Also check out Colonial Classics for holiday planters to brighten up your giftee’s winter while adding a festive feel to their outdoor spaces. For an extra personalized touch, pop a plant into to the holiday planter — think evergreen boughs or red poinsettias — to herald some holiday cheer.

Glasshouse Luxury Diffuser Set
Aromatherapy diffusers give homes a cozy scent minus the smoke from candles. This diffuser set from SugarBakers features one holiday scent and one everyday scent. Refills are sold separately, so if you know there’s a scent your gift recipient particularly enjoys, stock up now and get them set up to roll effortlessly into the new year.

Christmas Figurines
We all know at least one Clark Griswold — someone ready to deck their halls (all of them) and then some with holiday decorations, a la “Christmas Vacation.” Get on board by gifting them supplemental decor, from lighting to holiday knickknacks, from Tracy’s. The store also boasts home accessories, furniture, rugs, art, and lighting, so you will be spoiled with choice when it comes to home decor.

Cutting-Edge Electronics
With streaming services gaining popularity, home theaters quickly are evolving. The Sonos Arc Ultra Premium Smart Soundbar, available at Quest4 Electronics, offers precision sound coming from every direction — think clearer dialogue and deeper bass. Couple that with the Sony Bravia 8, an OLED TV with sharp color and immersive sound, and you have the makings of a home theater experience that can rival a traditional cinema

Custom Home Goodie Basket
Is someone on your Christmas list hard to shop for? Take the stress out of shopping and present them with a gift basket filled to the brim with goodies. Custom home gift baskets from Opie and Eleanor’s are oriented around themes as diverse as farmhouse cooking to special life events like weddings or the birth of a new child. Prices vary.
