The key to finding a present for your favorite homebody? Imagine what someone in the olden ages would do on a cold and wintry night. Perhaps enjoy a spot of tea, while nestled under a mountain of blankets. Maybe there’s some knitting or weaving to be done by candlelight. And before retiring to bed, some journaling and a hot bath.
Below, we’ve gathered cozy gift ideas for those who love nothing more than to unplug, unwind, and putter around.
N.B.: The products in our gift guides are chosen by Remodelista editors. This year, we’re also including a few paid placements from the brands who help keep our sites running. Thanks for supporting the shops and makers we love.
