Some people are built for the indoors. They’re the reason cozy socks exist. They have a blanket hierarchy. If you have a homebody in your life (or you are one), these gifts will make their home feel like a warm, stylish cocoon. And supporting small, design-driven brands keeps that practice grounded in beauty and intention instead of mass-produced sameness.
In the spirit of giving, if you enjoy my newsletter, perhaps share it with a few friends or become a paying subscriber this season to support my work? xoxo
Boy Smells candle – I love all of their candles but this Starry Spice one is in a cute limited-edition container that’s screen-printed so you can use it after for cotton swabs or as a vase. (It’s also on sale now!)
Canyon Crow splatter-painted enamelware - I’ve worked with Canyon Crow (woman-owned) for soooo many years at the markets, for my gift boxes during Covid, at CAMP, etc. because I love their products! I highly recommend the water pitcher (so chic!!!), these tumblers, and their large salad bowl. (Code SONJA10 gets you 10% off)
Dusen Dusen slippers - Known for their great color combos and patterns, these terry cloth slippers are FIRE!
Ember electric mug - I got this as a gift years ago and it’s grrrreat. If you know someone whose coffee is always getting cold, this is for them (I have the rose gold but it comes in really great colors too).
Le Puzz puzzles – The jigsaw puzzles of my dreams, and I can vouch for the Lighten Up puzzle, and their Match Made in Heaven puzzle.
Fellow electric kettles – For the coffee and tea obsessed, this kettle is the best. I love it in matte white and also in smokey green.
Hawkins New York placemats – I love their dish towels but these cute striped linen placemats actually have me considering using placemats!
Parachute Home bathrobe - This ‘cloud cotton’ striped robe is a classic!
Schoolhouse butter warmer – Everything they make is perfection, but this reissue of the Dansk butter warmer (also great for maple syrup) is an item every kitchen should have — and it’s on super sale RN!
Slowdown Studio throw – I love their artist-designed throw blankets but especially love this simple + chic Big Cats throw which is great for your BFF or a cool child.
