The Best Gift Ideas for the Homeowner in Your Life
With good tidings and cheer, it’s hard to deny that the holiday season has arrived!
Quality time spent with family and friends, twinkling lights and decorations, and of course, delicious food. There are so many aspects of the holiday season that many of us look forward to! Whether you’re shopping for a holiday, birthday or house-warming gift, there are a number of things that you can gift to the homeowner in your life.
Let’s take a look at some of the best gift ideas for the homeowner in your life!
Chef-Grade Knives
When it comes to finding the perfect gift for the homeowner in our lives, it’s important to consider everyday items that could be upgraded. Whether it’s that they are in need of a new one or that they skimped out on quality the first time, finding an everyday item of a higher quality can be a real treat!
Knives are a great example of an everyday item that would be great to gift a homeowner. Especially if they are chef-grade!
High-Quality Towels
Soft. Luxurious. Fresh.
There are so many reasons to gift the homeowner in your life high-quality towels this holiday season! Especially if they are paired with matching washcloths and hand towels.
When selecting a colour, we suggest opting for something neutral. White is a great choice for towels, although some homeowners may prefer shades of beige, brown or black, or even a pop of colour like blue or green.
Gift Cards
Tried and true, it’s hard to go wrong with a gift card! We suggest choosing a store that sells home improvement essentials, decor or furniture.
Some store options in Ontario can include:
Canadian Tire
Home Depot
Ikea
JYSK
Bouclair
Kitchen Stuff Plus
Indigo
LCBO
Costco
If you would really like for your gift card to stand out, consider pairing it with a small item from said store. For example, a book from Indigo, cocktail glasses from IKEA or a bottle of wine from the liquor store!
Cozy Blankets or Throw Pillows
You can never have too many cozy blankets or throw pillows! When shopping for these home essentials, consider the colour palette of their home. Are their couches grey? What style does their home reflect? Do they prefer neutrals or a pop of colour?
The safest choice? White! It really does match everything.
Beverages
From beer, wine and liquor, to tea, coffee or even hot chocolate, everyone has a vice when it comes to delicious beverages. Consider stocking them up on their favourite beverage, with a glass or mug to match!
Not only will they make great use of this gift, but it’s also incredibly thoughtful and shows that you care.
Local Gift Basket
Nothing helps a homeowner celebrate their home and community quite like a local gift basket! You may be able to find perfectly-curated gift baskets at a local business, or you can make your own.
Either way, creating a local gift basket is a great way to support small businesses in their area, while also helping them explore all that their community has to offer!
Custom Painting or Drawing of Their Home
If you’re really looking for a unique gift, consider having a piece of artwork commissioned of their home. We can think of no better way to preserve a moment captured in time, celebrate their journey as homeowners and add a tasteful piece of decor, than with a custom painting or drawing of their home!
Smart Speaker
Smart speakers really are the way of the future! Whether you’re checking the weather, setting an alarm or looking for the best recipe, all you have to do is ask Google, Alexa or Siri for help.
Does the homeowner in your life already have a smart speaker? Consider getting them a speaker from the same brand as their existing one, to help maintain compatibility across the board. This can help to improve their overall home automation experience!
