Holiday Gift Guide: Feel-Good Finds For the Dedicated Homebody

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.
