The key to finding a present for your favorite homebody? Imagine what someone in the olden ages would do on a cold and wintry night. Perhaps enjoy a spot of tea, while nestled under a mountain of blankets. Maybe there’s some knitting or weaving to be done by candlelight. And before retiring to bed, some journaling and a hot bath.
Below, we’ve gathered cozy gift ideas for those who love nothing more than to unplug, unwind, and putter around.
N.B.: The products in our gift guides are chosen by Remodelista editors. This year, we’re also including a few paid placements from the brands who help keep our sites running. Thanks for supporting the shops and makers we love.
Above: The Tsukiusagi Slim Pot was designed in Japan more than 40 years ago for pour-over coffee and tea enthusiasts. It has a glossy enamel coating and thick metal base for gas stoves; $115 at Nickey Kehoe.
Above: Tekla’s unisex Verneuil Stripes Pyjamas are made of organic cotton poplin. The Shirt is $240; the Pants are $205. Above: The wool MITA Slippers are hand-felted by a women’s co-operative in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, and are available in a rainbow of colors; $65.40 from AuraqueDesign via Etsy. Above: Sponsored by Olson House: Embrace the spirit of hygge and stay warm this season with the Finnish-made, 100% merino wool Koli Scarf. This cozy shawl is made by Lapuan Kankurit, and brought to you by Olson House, a Milwaukee shop focused on sustainable and timeless Scandinavian & Nordic home decor, gifts and design products. Generously sized, it will keep you warm in cold offices, on the sofa, or outdoors enjoying the day; $129.
Above: Hot tip—weaving baskets is the new throwing pottery. Give your favorite crafter this Beginner Basket Making Kit from Underwater Weaving Studio. It comes with everything you need to make an onion basket: pre-measured and cut round rattan and a written and image-driven instruction booklet; $98. Above: Sponsored by HigherDOSE: For anyone in need of a little R&R, the Serotonin Set from HigherDose includes a magnesium-infused serotonin bath soak, a magnesium spray to soothe tired muscles, and sumptuous organic cotton bathrobe; $223 for the set.
Above: Who wouldn’t love receiving this Mugs + Mt. Tam Tea Set from Permanent Collection? The green-glazed mugs are by Los Angeles ceramicist, Shoshi Watanabe, and the herbal tea is from Leaves and Flowers; $85 for one cup, $150 for two cups. Above: This Mantas Ezcaray Yellow Mohair Throw is just the thing to brighten a moody winter day. The throws are made in Spain and come in a variety of colors; $325 at Hudson Grace. Abve: The Solitude Box by The Monastic Home celebrates the introvert. It includes 3 taper candles, a handmade candleholder, 3 teabags, 3 incense papers “that smell like a European cathedral”, a vintage notebook, and handmade soap inspired by a visit to an Italian monastery; $54. Above: This is really two gifts in one—once the Rose Geranium Candle burns down, the hand-thrown glazed stoneware vessel can be repurposed; $80 from Toast.
