(BPT) As you strive for a happy holiday, do all your gift ideas seem ho-hum at best?
It’s a common holiday conundrum: You want to show all your friends and family that you care, but finding the right present seems impossible. If you feel stuck, look for gifts that will enhance the home, because there is truly something for every personality. Skip the candle and coaster set and instead check out these unique, personal items that add fun and flair to any home, big or small.
Aquariums: Traditional rectangular aquariums are bulky and cumbersome, but now there are stunning new tabletop options perfect for everyone on your list. The biOrb TUBE 15 aquarium is designed to give a 360-degree view and features multi-color LED lighting with remote control for an eye-catching way to enjoy fishkeeping. Enjoy the dazzling sight of bubbling water and an impressive light show all year long.
Decorative pillows and throws: Winter is the perfect time to cozy up at home, but that tattered old blanket just won’t do. You can encourage friends and family to get some much-needed R&R by gifting them new pillows and a fluffy throw blanket. Add a coordinating throw blanket and get ready to cuddle through all of winter’s chilliest nights.
Restored photographs: Going for tears of joy? One home decor gift that will tug at the heartstrings is framed photography. A nice portrait is always a great gift option, but this year surprise your loved ones by finding old photography and getting it restored. Place in a nice frame and it is guaranteed to be an unforgettable gift that will be proudly displayed for years to come.
Personalized signs: One of the year’s most popular decorating trends is custom signage. Often made from wood, these signs are painted or carved with your preferred message. That means it can be customized to suit even the most difficult people to shop for. Popular verbiage on a custom sign includes the family surname with an “established” date. You could also include a literary phrase or personal mantra that your loved one enjoys. Because the message is personalized, you can make it perfect for everyone on your list.
Himalayan salt lamps: The soft glow of salt lamps brings a warmth to rooms on the dreariest days. Some people claim they also help maintain good indoor air quality and help with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). No matter what, they are a happy addition to any room: bedroom, office or living room.
The person who has everything? Check. The hard-to-shop-for teen? Check. The newlywed couple settling into their home? Check. Home decor gifts are great for everyone on your gift list, and best yet, they won’t be like anything else your loved ones receive, making your gift memorable and truly cherished.
