Carrie’s Picks – GIFTS for the Home
I’ve put together a collection of functional AND attractive gifts for homeowners. Let’s face it, a great gift is one that people would love - but not think of getting for themselves. Here are my favorites:
Towel Ladder
I don’t know about you, but towel storage can be a struggle, especially when you’ve first moved into a new home. But whether you lived there for years, just moved in, or have lots of overnight guests for the holidays, this towel ladder is a great solution. MDesign has a ton of other storage solutions on their website, too!
Roll-Up Dish Rack
This is a multi-functional gift that is everything from a hot plate to a drying rack that fits right over your sink - plus its dishwasher safe, too. This is probably the most used accessory in my kitchen!
I’ve been designing kitchens for clients for many years, and finding a solution for dispensing liquid dishwashing soap was always problematic. The typical options of under-counter dispensing were always difficult to access. And the countertop options seemed to deteriorate with some of the liquid soap products. Nothing worked well until I started using touchless soap dispensers like this one from Simple Human (I love all their products!) Their latest model charges with a USB – so no more batteries! I use them in my bathrooms, too!
If someone on your list has purchased a fixer-upper this next gift suggestion is a life-saver. Many step stools are either bulky and awkward to move around OR they can’t handle the load and can be dangerous. The Xtend+Climb Ultralight FT3 Step Stool solves both issues and is great for multi-tasking in every room! So whether you are changing a lightbulb, painting, or just getting something from a tall shelf or cabinet this step stool is a sturdy workhorse!
Artful Bookshelf
If someone on your list is a decorating challenged then I have a wonderful suggestion! This piece of wall décor from West Elm offers the homeowner a chance for self-expression without the commitment. It can be hung as a piece of art in itself OR filled with personal items that can be changed with the seasons. I love this simple design that can fit any décor!
New Home Gift
Finally, I love this option for that first-time homeowner! This personalized artwork is heartwarming, without being too cheeky. And the size and frame style will be a perfect fit for anyone’s personal taste.
