The Homebody Christmas Gift Guide

December 3, 2020Lifestyle, Seasonal
+2

Or what should I get my DIY and organising obsessed family member this Christmas.

We can surely agree,when The Home Edit launched their Netflix series during lockdown, we all behaved excited puppies. I mean, I was so excited, I watched it all in a couple of days. Soz, girls.

Who wouldn’t want to live in a home made of organised rainbows and extremely tidy cupboards? I definitely love organising and fixing things, so when we talked about gift guides for this Christmas, I was the obvious choice.

I wish I could share with you everything I originally picked. However, to avoid rewriting the Encyclopaedia Britannica for you, I picked 10 items I would love for Christmas – Just putting it out there, guys.

  1. Jacquard reindeer Christmas jumper, from Oysho, £39.99
    Oysho this year has outdone with their Christmas selection. This is one of my favourites and I can definitely see myself at home in this on Christmas Day. {no longer available}
  2. Roll on therapist selection, by Ede, £15
    Ede is a small store born in the north of the UK. We came across Ede as we were searching for small businesses to showcase. I love any roll on, as they are super easy to carry with me all the time and when needed. Perfect for Self care at any moment.
  3. BAUM Cannister series, by Kinto, from £24.50
    I mean, aren’t these so elegant and so beautiful? I can already see them in my cupboard, in the house in the country I’ll one day have!
  4. OAT Hanging Planter, from Dor & Tan, £60
    I have endless love for Paige and her creations. She made my competition set back in 2018, and I adore the other products she makes. Like this planter, handmade with Cornish clay.
  5. Strudel & Spice Diffusers, by Lint & Kemp, £19 (no longer available)
    Talk about Christmas in a pot. Lint & Kemp, yet again, surprised us for Christmas with another set of diffusers for your house. All natural and super long lasting, the lockdown born company has the best range out there right now.
  6. Autumn Embrace Wool Blanket, from The Future Kept, £79
    You all know I’m a sucker for blankets. And this blankets has all the feels. Just by looking at it you want to be wrapped around its warmth and cuddle up.
  7. Aqua Culture Vase, by Kinto, from £17.50
    Need some vases to sprout those cuttings of your overflowing plant? Kinto has you covered on this too!
  8. Self Care Gift Set, by Firera, £57
    Firera is a very small business that wants to bring us the best holistic experience for the best slow and sustainable living. We fell in love with them as soon as we discovered them, and wanted to share it with you.
  9. B&W Pure Linen Blankets & Cushion Covers, from £33
    We don’t really think these needs a caption. They are one of the best set of linens we have seen around and we cannot wait to get our hands on them – hello payday.
  10. Wooden Folding Ruler, by Labour & Wait, £10
    I used to have one of these as a child, and gosh I do love things that remind me of childhood.

About Federica

Fred is the mastermind for all things design of this blog, and around the web, she can be found on Not a Skilful Sailor and dotting.away. She is the person that has pushed Simona after she lost my job to give this blog thing a shot again, and subsequently found herself tangled in it, one way or another.

She is the extrovert of the group, the person who’s struggling the most with the being home situation. She thrives around people, but was not like this growing up, let us tell you that. She is the coffee guru of the family, loves our cat TJ more than Cristina and Simona (doesn’t even try to hide it a bit), and has got a new-found love for baking thanks to lockdown.

    That jumper and the diffuser would be my top picks from this list, even though every thing you have here is super cute and practical. Thanks so much for sharing!

    Love your local macaroon dealer. 😂🧡🧡⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because without them you wouldn’t be able to have tasty and dreamy macaroons every week. And trust me, it’s a sad world without macaroons! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ours is @gisellerichardsonldn and her macaroons are to die for. We get them weekly at @primrosehillfoodmarket and let me tell you one thing: they never make it home! 🤫🙈🙈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

    We love pizza. 🍕 🍕 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We love pizza. 🍕 🍕 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It must be mostly because it’s in our blood, but when we want to go out for one or order one, we always look for the most authentic place. Because let’s face it, if it has chicken on it, it’s not a real Italian place! 🇮🇹 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So here’s our 5 favorite places that we always go to in London. ✨✨✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What’s your favorite pizza place?

    Ehh, yes. We have a slight obsession with hats 🎩 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Or better, between us, the one that owns most beanies and caps out of all of us is @cristina1994. And let’s face it, when she wears them she can rock them way better than all of us 🤙🏻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

    🪴🪴 “Plants Make People Better” 🪴🪴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whomever said this couldn’t be more right! We love our little plants and our little corner with them. The house is almost full with little succulents and greens, so much that @simonarosano has been banned from buying anymore. 🙊🙊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Literally guys, there’s no more space for them... anyway, all this to say, take care of them and they’ll take care of you!🍀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
