Best Home Gift Ideas
By Rohma Ejaz
All going well (fingers crossed) Christmas might see you pack a bag and head off for the holidays. While there is nothing wrong with gifting a bouquet of flowers or bottle of wine you grabbed on the way (we’re all busy) nothing quite says ‘perfect houseguest’ than a beautifully considered gift for your hosts instead. As home is definitely where the heart is, we’ve picked some of the most stylish presents to win you serious brownie points this Christmas.
A duo of home fragrance favourites, Shinrin-Yoku is inspired by the Japanese ritual of forest bathing. The scent is an earthy blend of cedarwood, oakmoss and black pepper and the set includes a 170ml soy wax candle [35 - 40 hours burning time] and a 100ml [3.5oz] home mists.

Made from 100% natural Turkish cotton, these hand towels are woven and dyed in Southern Turkey by local craftsmen. Hand crafted using uniquely long cotton fibres native to Turkey, the hand towel is incredibly soft and ultra absorbent making it the perfect luxury addition to any bathroom or kitchen sink.
Bulan’s Hydro Robe’s are made with the most luxurious, heavy cotton for the ultimate cosy oversized fit. To get technical, Hydro Cotton is made using an advanced weaving technique to create fabric loops with a ‘low twist. The result? A fluffier, softer finish compared to other cotton towelling, for that spa-like feeling in the comfort of your own home. Yes, please!
Tint Wine Glass is a collection of wine glasses made in tinted and clear borosilicate glass. The elegant, simple design is the perfect housewarming gift and is suitable for serving wine, as well as water, juice and other soft drinks. The glasses come in sets of two, available in different colours.
You can't go wrong with Le Creuset. But if a casserole dish is beyond the budget, these coloured mugs from the brand's botanique range are a great gift for a friend with a penchant for co-ordinated kitchenware.
