This Christmas, give the gift of interior inspiration with presents for a cosy home. During the colder months, there is no greater feeling than wrapping up for a cosy night in with family. Small home gifts can be an easy but also thoughtful idea when you're stuck on what to buy someone. Make someone else’s nights in more enjoyable and relaxing with inspiration from our Christmas gift guide 2020.
The key to creating a cosy home is to find things that please all of the senses. A home scent is one of the first things that someone notices when they enter a room. However, when you live there you can eventually become nose blind. Giving the gift of a new home fragrance can create a whole new atmosphere in someone’s home. Warm scents of spiced fruits and woody based notes can create a cosy home, perfect for this time of the year.
When shopping for a home fragrance to create a cosy home, consider how the diffuser or candle looks too. Finding a beautifully presented candle can add to a home’s decor and add a new layer to a cosy atmosphere. If you are gifting to someone who loves collecting candles, why not create a bundle of different scents from the same brand for them to enjoy all through the new year.
Reading books can be a difficult gift to buy as there is so much to consider when searching for a storyline you think they will connect with and enjoy. In contrast, coffee table books are much more straightforward.
Coffee table books consist of beautifully captured photographs on various topics, which people can flick through for inspiration. Gardening, home interiors, art and design and food can all be great choices. Additionally, gifting a cook book can be a great present for a cosy home, for someone to flick through under a blanket on a Sunday night, as they plan for their week ahead.
Nothing brings the family together during a cosy night in like a fun game or puzzle to challenge each other at. Every home should have a nice set of playing cards to enjoy from time to time. Try to shop around for a deck of playing cards which feature a unique and wonderful design, smartly presented in an equally wonderful gift box, which also makes them suitable to be kept on display.
Other great presents for a cosy home are more challenging puzzles that people can lose themselves in. The type of game that distracts you from your busy life and allows you to unwind.
One of the easiest presents for a cosy home is decor. Think soft furnishings, warm colours and dark lighting with candles. A soft throw over the sofa can create a cosy spot for watching films, reading and playing family games. Cushions are another way to get creative with your decor, while creating a space which looks cosy and welcoming.
Also think about how to make your smaller furnishings cosier, through their colours, materials and shape. Wire weave baskets look a lot more laid back compared with other storage units and add a unique piece of decor to any room.
One of the most exciting aspects of Christmas is shopping for others and seeing their face as they unwrap their gift you specifically chose for them. Get your shopping completed early by exploring the Christmas gift guides 2020 at Roxtons.
