We all have that one friend – or maybe we are them – you know, the one, who would prefer to spend their weekends nestled up with a blanket, candles lit, with a glass of red wine (that actually sounds pretty good right about now.) Though one thing is for certain, opting for the perfect night indoors is much more cognitively pleasing when the home in question is up to comfort standards. Besides, with winter temps briskly approaching, gifting your “homebody” friends with the perfect stay-at-home additions may serve as the ideal holiday present this season. That being said, we know holiday shopping can be stressful with brands breathing their seasonal sales down your neck so let us serve as your one stop shop this holiday season.

First up is candles. For setting the mood and unwinding, candles are essential to turn your space from restless to tranquil. From fruity to oceanic, choosing the perfect scent can be the perfect sensual addition to a night of self-care. Next up are blankets. This one is self-explanatory. But it goes further than just “it’s cold; I need a blanket.” Blankets can serve as security, alluding to feelings of protection, calming the spirit, and wrapping it in warmth. Now to homeware, if you’re looking to merge a Friday night out with the bodily urge to bask in self-care, gifting your friend or yourself with an aesthetically pleasing cocktail glass or set is a celebration in itself. Lastly is plants. Simple but effective. This little green addition can support the illusion of nature in a concrete city like New York – sparking an oasis and a (non-pathetic) companion.
