Cozy Up With The Best Gifts for Homebodies

Chill vibes only.

Published: December 11, 2024

You might not know a Christmas giftee's dress size or foundation shade, but if they're a homebody whose space you've visited, you're likely familiar with the style of décor they're into. If they're aesthetically inclined, consider the word 'lifestyle' first—life as in 'how can my gift enhance their time spent lounging around,' and style as in 'how aesthetically pleasing does my gift look?' If nothing comes to mind, keep scrolling for top gifts from local brands that blend form and function, ensuring that staying in for homebodies is a lot more relaxing, cosy, and stylish.

Island Living Bohemian Throw Quilt

Bring an all-year-round beach holiday vibe to your giftee's home for the price of a plane ticket to a beach holiday. While cotton isn't the fanciest of fabrics as compared to a feathery down or a throw crafted in cashmere, this Island Living quilt's cotton material makes it easy to wash (one cap of bleach, a rinse cycle, and it's good as new) and if they have pets, will hold up against their claws. It's also sized at 260cm in length and 240cm in height, ensuring that your giftee can swaddle themselves from bed to couch, and back. Priced at $295. For more information, visit their website.

Sojao Classic Cloud Bundle Set

If linen sheets feel like sandpaper to your giftee, then this set by Sojao is made for them. Crafted out of GOTS-certified organic cotton that's buttery smooth, they boast a "bring it out only for special guests” quality—and only get softer the more you wash them while retaining the vibrancy of the colour (there are nine ranging from Cloud pictured above to Peach and Navy) you bought them in. The set comes with a duvet cover, a fitted sheet and two pillowcases. The duvet also comes with interior corner ties and an envelope pocket to keep it secure, ensuring that lounging in bed always feels like absolute bliss. Priced from $227.94 for a single bed set.

The Moon The Sea Sea Horizons Stackable Plates

Bringing a swell of calming blues and earthy colours to any space your giftee dines in or on, these The Moon The Sea plates are made from microwave-safe clay and finished in a lovely speckled texture. Hand-fired in Singapore, they are also dishwasher-friendly while their flat shape and raised edges will keep sauces on plates and not on tables. As each plate is hand-fired, no two plates purchased will have the same pattern in terms of line thickness or depth of colour which is a plus if your giftee has a penchant for the more special things in life. Priced from $33 for a 9-10cm plate. For more information, visit their websit e.

Hands Design Premium Charcuterie Board

On the off-chance that you think your giftee truly has everything, then finding a gift can get pretty dicey. Opt to do so with something they love but wouldn't consider buying instead like this artisanal charcuterie board by Hands Design that's crafted from wood offcuts. Carved and polished by hand for a smooth surface and curved lines, it is also filled with a resin pour that looks striking for any sort of presentation. And if your giftee is the type who likes their dining ware to come in sets, you can also add on a set of matching coasters made from the same wood offcuts. Priced at $240.

Tanchen Studio Sanddrift Rug

For adding atmospheric allure to a neutral space, this hand-tufted rug by Tanchen Studio comes in two rich, indulgent shades and subtle tints and tones mimicking light reflecting on sand. It's also crafted using New Zealand wool which is valued for its long-lasting quality and ability to retain its colour, making it great for high-traffic areas in your giftee's home. It also comes in different shades like a soft pink called Accona and an earthy brown called Tan with each having a cotton backing that offers breathability while creating a comfortable underfoot experience. Priced from $255 for a dimension measuring 60cm in width and 90cm in height. For more information, visit their websit e.

Sunday Bedding Weighted Blanket

Considering that Sunday Bedding is all about making good sleep a given, it's no surprise that their weighted blanket is the best at giving the sensation of a full-body hug that will lull your giftee into quick slumber. Besides also reducing movement and friction at night for deeper sleep, it is made of bamboo sateen that's moisture-wicking and smooth on the skin. And if your giftee has pets who will take a shine to snoozing on it, the blanket includes a removable duvet cover that can be popped into the washing machine to remove any odours or fur. Priced at $270. For more information, visit their websit e.

Kra Sanctuary Satay Free-Form Espresso Set

Is your giftee the type to want every moment of their routine to be artfully thought out and done? If so, this espresso set handmade by Thailand artisans is a worthy gesture with its semi-matte base and a crackled, iridescent border of caramel and gold tones. And like other Kra Sanctuary ceramics that are handmade, no two ones are the same as each comes with a unique glazing and differences in form. Both the cup and saucer are also dishwasher and microwave-safe which means they're not too precious to be put to good use by your giftee. Priced at $26. For more information, visit their websit e.
