Whether you were done months ago or haven’t even started (or maybe somewhere in between?) it can be tough to find the perfect holiday gift for everyone on your list. Luckily, we have some ideas for the area we’re experts in — the home.
Of course the perfect gift might be (you know we have to say it) a membership to AAA House Manager. Just imagine being able to pass along the gift of worry-free home maintenance! But, if you're in the market for something that can actually be wrapped, here are 10 ideas for the ideal gift for the homebody in your life, no matter your budget.
Under $20
Buffalo Check Throw Pillows - Starting around $10 on Amazon
If you’ve left the house at all recently, you’ve likely noticed that buffalo check is everywhere. You probably can’t go wrong with any gift in the pattern, but throw pillows are a good option for introducing it into the home.
Modern Bundt Pan - Starting around $15 at william-sonoma.com
For anyone who is as big of a fan of the Great British Baking Show as we are, a beautifully shaped bundt pan will be a welcomed gift. Not your grandmother’s bundt pan, these modern new designs will garner oohs and aahs for even the most novice of bakers. They come in mini sizes too! Just make sure you call dibs on a piece.
Black & Decker Lightdriver Cordless Screwdriver - $16.75 on Amazon
This cordless screwdriver is ideal for small, quick jobs that would normally require a standard screwdriver. The built in flashlight comes in surprisingly handy — one of those things your recipient didn’t know they needed until you gifted it to them.
$50 and Under
Air Fryer - Starting around $40 at Bed Bath & Beyond
Finally! A way to reheat leftover french fries and make them crispy again! From chicken wings to veggies, an air fryer is a quick and easy way to cook up crispy treats without oil.
Escaping Alarm Clock - $40 at clocky.com
Ideal for anyone who hates to get out of bed, this alarm clock rolls away and hides when it goes off. No kidding! It’s mandatory to get out of bed and chase it down to turn it off. Great for people who actually want to get up on time.
Weighted Blanket - Starting around $50 on Amazon
A weighted blanket brings comfort and warmth, like a tight hug. They come in varying sizes and weights, so they are perfect for snuggling on the couch or in bed.
Echo Dot - $50 on Amazon
A great introduction into the world of smart home technology, the Echo dot will let the recipient play music, ask it questions and turn on and off lights if they have smart light bulbs or a lamp plugged into a smart plug.
$150 and Under
Bose SoundLink Micro Portable Speaker - Currently $69 on Amazon
A great alternative to the larger Bose bluetooth speakers, this little mini packs the same sound quality. It can be toted around the house and, since it’s waterproof, can serve as an outdoor speaker as well.
Roku Smart TV - Starting around $127 on Amazon
With 500,000 movies and TV episodes accessible through a simple, intuitive interface, this is a great introduction to the world of smart TVs. And gone are the days of losing the remote in between the couch cushions. With this, your loved one can use their smartphone as a full-function Roku remote with voice control, the ability to browse and add new channels, and listen to TV audio on headphones connected to the device.
Multi-Device Wireless Charger - $150 on Amazon
We got this one straight from the holiday gifting expert herself — Oprah. Ideal for the tech-lover in your life, this multi-device wireless charger will cut down on cords and free up outlets in their home. Check out the rest of Oprah’s Favorite Things of 2019.

You've heard of FOMO (the fear of missing out), but one of our new favorite trends is JOMO (the joy of missing out) and spending more time in the comfort of home. If your loved ones feel the same, you won't be able to go wrong with any gift that will perk up their abode.
