Best Home Gift Guide: 36 Homeware Christmas Gifts For Spaces That Need A Bit Of Zing

From candles and vases to glassware and salt and pepper shakers.

best home gifts

If the last few years have taught us anything it's to appreciate home comforts. Fortunately, having spent more time at home in recent years has given us a newfound love of interiors, whether it's lusting after Alighieri founder Rosh Mahtani's Italian-inspired home, or learning how to do a DIY kitchen update, à la Katherine Ormerod. And while a full-blown paint job or renovation is out of reach for many of us, there are much smaller, cheaper and more considered things you can add to your own flat or house to give it an instant lift.

From scented candles and vases to glassware and salt and pepper shakers, all it takes is for a few accessories dotted throughout the home to give it a much-needed update, new aesthetic or different colour scheme with very little effort and finances. And there are several new interiors and homes brands that we can't get enough of, including entrepreneur Laura Jackson's Glassette and David Perry's designs.

So, forget beauty gifts and athleisurewear for a moment and treat your house - and your loved ones' - to some of this year's most eye-catching homeware gifts and interior pieces. You can thank us later.
