“Alexa, it’s lamp-o-clock”— my favorite time of day. I love cozying up, lighting a candle, and spending the night in, and if you’ve got somebody on your Christmas list who knows that feeling all too well, then you might have a homebody on your hand. For that friend (or yourself) who truly appreciates the art of cozy living, finding the perfect gift looks a little bit different, but fret not, I’m here to help. Coming from someone with personal homebody experience, here are some gifts for the homebody to make them feel seen and loved because there’s no place quite like home, especially around the holidays.
You truly cannot go wrong with gifting a high-end candle for the homebody in your life. I’m telling you, this candle is the quintessential soul-warming, comforting winter escape fragrance. They’ll think of you every time they light it.
I ordered this leather cover in 3 different colors, and I’m so impressed with how pretty it is. If there’s something I know about being a homebody, it’s that we care about making every little thing in our home pretty. No more ugly cardboard tissue boxes sitting around!
This darling little picture frame would make the perfect gift, especially if you put a special photo inside.
This would be such a great gift to give, especially if you pair it with a coffee table book. It’s the prettiest little marker for keeping your coffee table book propped open, and they’re going to love it.
Receiving a designated pair of comfy and stylish house shoes is the way to their heart. You cannot go wrong with these sherpa Birkenstocks, I promise.
If the first thing they do when they get home for the day is slip into something more comfortable, then they’re going to melt over these cozy knit joggers.
Odds are, if they love a cozy night in, they’re probably a puzzle-lover as well. I’m obsessed with this festive city scene puzzle with Christmas lights and decorations, and gold foil is so lovely.
I promise you, this is the blanket of all plush blankets. They’ll think of you each and every time they snuggle up with it and read a book or watch a show, which is probably an everyday thing.
This is the electric tea kettle of all electric tea kettles. I’ve had the electric Smeg kettle that recently stopped working, and I’m replacing it with this sleek, gooseneck kettle because the 5,000 4.5 star ratings speak for themselves. She’s a looker.
If they like to sip on hot tea, coffee, or hot chocolate, gift them this insulated Yeti mug and their drink will stay hot for hours.
I’m telling you, this is the most luxurious pair of socks on the market. I bypass all my other socks and reach for these when I really need a pick-me-up.
My idea of a perfect night in includes the comfiest PJs, the most extra skincare regimen, and an early bedtime. It wouldn’t be complete without this deep pore cleansing mask.
This is my new favorite coffee table book written by the woman herself, Shea McGee. In it, she talks about how creating a sense of home is an art, and I couldn’t agree with that more.
There couldn’t be a prettier serving tray out there, and you’ll definitely score some brownie points by gifting them this.
Every homebody I know loves a luxury candle, and with this candle warmer, you can enjoy the scent and the ambiance, without the flame and the smoke.
I use this to make my beverages a little extra frothy every single day and it brings some simple joy into my life.
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]
