Christmas Gifts for the Home, by Price and Recipient
For a home gift that gets used past January, buy the thing the person has been putting up with. A worn bath mat, a mismatched bin, a shower liner going cloudy. We do not sell Christmas decorations (everything here is bath, kitchen and entryway), so this is a guide to gifts that happen to be given in December, sorted by who you are buying for and what you want to spend.
What can I buy for under $25?
This is stocking-filler territory, and it is where the most-used objects live. There are 358 items in stock under $25.
| Gift | Price | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Wooden handheld massager | $12.99 | Anyone. Our best seller overall |
| Magnetic bamboo soap holder | $14.99 | Bar-soap households |
| Shower curtain rings, set of 12 | $7.99 | A cheap fix that looks deliberate |
| Adhesive wall mirrors, set of 4 | $22.49 | Renters. No drilling |
| Padang tissue box cover | $24.99 | Anyone with a guest bathroom |
| Self-adhesive gold sash hooks, set of 4 | $8.99 | Kitchen windows, no tools |
What about $25 to $50?
One object that replaces something worn out. This band holds 391 items and is where most single gifts land.
- Memory foam bath rug, 32 x 20 in.: $34.99, in six colors.
- Padang bin with bamboo top, 1.3 gal: $39.99. Our best-selling bin.
- Brushed gold soft-close pedal bin, 0.8 gal: $39.99. The most festive-looking thing we make, for what that is worth.
- Diamond stoneware toilet brush set: $34.99. Heavy ceramic, will not tip.
- Weighted animal door stop, 2.3 lb: $32.99. Cat, dog, mouse, sheep or pumpkin.
- Jungle print kitchen mat, 32 x 20 in.: $34.99, in beige or gray.
What is worth spending over $50 on?
A coordinated set, because it is the only gift here that changes a whole room out of one box. Five matching countertop pieces bought separately come to roughly $120; the set is $99.99.
- 6-piece Willis set: $129.99 (white, black, green, mustard, light blue). Countertop plus bin.
- 7-piece Padang set with bamboo tops: $99.99. The best value per piece in the range.
- Marble effect 4-piece set: $69.99. Neutral enough to give to someone whose bathroom you have never seen.
- Corduroy laundry basket, 55 L: $54.99, in five colors.
- Welcome Home coir doormat, 48 x 18 in.: $49.99. Extra wide, for a front door that a standard mat never covered.
Who is hardest to buy for, and what works?
| Recipient | Buy | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Someone who just moved | Bienvenue coir door mat, 24 x 16 in. | $36.99 |
| A renter | Over-the-door hook rack: no drilling | $14.99 |
| Someone with no storage | Cotton Padang baskets, set of 3 | $47.99 |
| Someone who cooks | Anti-fatigue kitchen mat | $94.99 |
| Taste unknown | Bamboo body brush | $24.99 |
What should I not buy as a gift?
Anything that has to fit a measurement you do not have. Shower curtain rods, toilet seats and contour rugs all depend on the recipient’s bathroom, and a gift that needs returning is worse than no gift.
Glass is the other one to think about. A glass soap dispenser on a tile floor in a house with children or pets has a limited life. Polyresin looks close enough and survives.
Common questions
Do you sell Christmas decorations? No. The catalog is bath, kitchen and entryway accessories year-round. The gold-finish pieces are the closest thing to a seasonal look, and they stay right in February.
What is the single safest gift? The $24.99 bamboo body brush or the $12.99 massager. No sizing, no color scheme, no assembly.
Can I build a small hamper from several items? Yes, and it reads better than one mid-priced object. A massager, a pumice stone, a loofah and a soap dish come to about $56.
Something for a host? A door mat or a kitchen mat. Both are visible, neither is personal.
