After taking a few years’ hiatus, my beloved weekly gift guides are back by popular demand! From now until Christmas, I will have great gift guides filled with ideas for those that either have it all or are a bit more challenging to shop for.
To begin this super fun series, I bring you the homebody guide. We all have that one friend or relative whose idea of a perfect night consists of ‘Netflix and Chill,’ and would rather splurge on PJs than high heels.
From bubble baths to French press coffee makers, below are my top picks for the master of nesting — because for some, there is no place like home. You’ve got to trust me on this one, as this persona is near and dear to my heart (i.e., I may or may not be one of them).
Antica Farmacista Orange Blossom, Lilac & Jasmine Bubble Bath: Taking a bath is a ritual of all sorts, for homebodies, as it’s relaxing & oh so calming. Plus, this scent truly smells devine.
Helmut Newton Polaroids: Not only a great coffee book, but this tome has some of Newton’s most iconic images, and it’s less than $30.
Formula X The System Collector’s Edition: For those who dread leaving the abode, gift them a fun mani/pedi kit with all the fixings. This is like having an in-home spa, as it includes a nail cleanser,
Hudson Park Faux Fur Throw: Any homebody will be happy with a warm a fuzzy throw keep them company when watching a marathon of ‘Orange is the New Black,’ or my new favorite obsession ‘Narcos.’ Just because you are laying low doesn’t mean you can’t be chic!
J.Crew Fair Isle Wool Socks: Keep your tootsies warm and cozy with a pair of festive socks, because having cold feet is not exactly part of the holiday spirit.
Jonathan Adler Throw Pillows: Add a bit of playfulness to any space with these fun pillows

American Atelier ‘Daphne’ Stemless Wine Glasses: Because vino always tastes better in a fancy glass!
‘You Do You Print’: The perfect wall art for those looking to beautify their homes. This also works very well on small spaces.
Savor Black Ice Cookies: ‘I have too many cookies,’ said no one ever! This is the perfect token of appreciation for someone with a sweet tooth. Plus, they go perfect with the 3-piece canister.
Bodum Red Brazil French Press: Coffee lovers, rejoice — This French press makes one mean cup of Joe, (actually, up to 8) so no need to depart for the cafe!
Diptyque Sapin Candle: This limited-time Diptyque candle is so insanely delicious, it almost feels like a Bavarian forest in the middle of winter. The container is gorgeous and can easily be used as a flower vase.
Fish Eddy ‘Admit One’ Trinket Tray: This is for the movie night aficionado who does not leave the couch for anything! Even better? It’s under $20.
