1 ) CLEANING GIFT SET
From my experience, cleaning is more fun when you have the right equipment. Gifting paper towels and toilet paper is always a classic idea, but why not share your favorite tools and give with a personal touch? Here are some things I would give!
MAMISON Waterproof Rubber Gloves (3 Pairs) ($9.99)
I don't know what it is, but the Mamison Dishwashing gloves are the perfect reusable gloves for multiple purposes. It has the perfect thickness and nonslip material. Also, I love the different colors! I would use this to wash dishes, clean around the house, or use it for cooking purposes. Perfect gloves to make kimchi!
RECYCO Swedish Dishcloths (5 Pack) ($9.99)
Not too far from a pack of paper towels, reusable dishcloths are the way to go. It's sustainable, brings a hint of color, and it creates less trash. There are various designs to choose from, so you can choose the design that fits the person you are gifting to. They are super absorbent and create less storage space as well! I'm sure someone else will bring them paper towels ;)
HOLIKME Brush Set with Bamboo Handle (3 Pack) ($8.96)
We always need a good brush to use when we clean. The bamboo handle makes it not look cheap and I wouldn't mind leaving it by the sink for its aesthetic. They also come with different color bristles that you can choose from.
MRS. MEYER'S CLEAN DAY All-Purpose Cleaner Spray ($4.64)
There are many different multi-surface sprays to choose from, but you can't go wrong with Meyer's cleaning sprays. They have multiple scents to choose from. When in doubt, the lemon verbena will probably be the safer choice to choose.
NATURALCOZY 5-Piece Rectangle Storage Basket Set - Natural Cotton Rope ($29.99)
To put your gift set together, use a basket like this one to elevate the look. They come in five different sizes. Depending on what you put inside the gift set, you can choose the size accordingly. I mean, how cute are these baskets?!
2 ) TEA LOVERS
I have whole list of tea to choose from, but here's a few where you don't have to put any effort in packaging or wrapping the gift!
OSULLOC Premium Tea Collection & Green Tea Wafers ($42.40)
Osulloc is based in Jeju, Korea where they grow their teas in a volcanic environment. They are a premium tea brand and each tea bag is individually sealed. The packaging feels like luxury and can be displayed on the kitchen counter as is.
OSULLOC Tea Set Gift Set (24 Count, 6 Flavors) ($29.99)
I had to add another Osulloc tea here because I mean... the packaging.
Top-notch flavors & top-notch packaging... I'm sold!
MONTANBER Glass Tea Kettle w/ Removable Infuser and Lid ($21.99)
The simple and natural look of the tea kettle will make the tea lovers melt. I would couple the gift with either a loose-leaf tea bag or a blooming flower tea.
3 ) COFFEE ADDICTS
I love my coffee! These gifts are for those who love to make it at home.
ZULAY KITCHEN Milk Frother Wand ($9.99)
It comes in many different colors and a stand. It's the perfect addition to a personal coffee bar for any latte needs. It is powered by two AA batteries which are not included. It's a lifetime guarantee!
FELLOW Atmos Vacuum Coffee Canister & Food Storage Container ($35.00)
This coffee canister will keep the coffee beans fresher longer. No one likes the stale taste of coffee. The design will go perfectly near the coffee area. There is a clear and black matte version as well. Gift it with your favorite coffee beans and it will be the perfect gift!
4 ) FOR THE KITCHEN
The goal is to avoid cluttering their space. Here are some smaller gifts that they may enjoy!
DAKARTOON Trivet for Hot Dishes (5 Pieces and Storage Basket) ($16.95)
These trivets bring a cozy and warm vibe to the kitchen/dining room. The storage basket and the trivet can be used for other decorative purposes too!
NJCharms Ceramic Spoon Rest ($9.99)
Ever have a problem where you don't know where to put your ladle or wooden spoon? This ceramic spoon rest will be the perfect addition. It's a cute gift that will keep the counters grease-free! Also, it is microwave and dishwasher-safe!
DORKUOVA Cooking Mittens, Non-Slip Grip, Washable Silicone Oven Mitts ($23.99)
The silicone makes it so much easier to wash off the food that may get onto the gloves. It is heat resistant up to 500°F. The design is not something I would want to hide in a drawer.
5 ) CHEFS' NEEDS
Whether the person you are gifting to is a chef or not, he or she can definitely benefit from these gifts below!
GRAZA Olive Oil Variety Pack ($43.09)
You may have seen this brand on all cooking influencer videos. The packaging makes it super easy to oil up the pan. This oil is made from 100% Picual olives from Jaen, Spain. Good olive oil is a staple in the kitchen!
BEE'S WRAP Reusable Beeswax Food Wraps (S,M,L 3 Pack) ($16.99)
Can you tell that there is a sustainability trend so far? These wraps are made with organic cotton and natural materials. How cute is this wrapping? There are other designs you can choose from as well.
MAGNOLIA TABLE, Volume 2: A Collection of Recipes for Gathering Hardcover ($17.50)
Joanna Gaines is a legend. This book is filled with 145 recipes that also include photographs to inspire us. It's a great hardcover book that can be used as decor as well. There are two other books that she has, but I have been loving this volume.
6 ) SPIRITED GIFTS
With the idea below, add a wine bottle or whiskey bottle and it will complete the gift.
SECURA Electric Wine Bottle Corkscrew Opener w/ Foil Cutter (Rechargeable and Stainless Steel) ($22.20)
Time to celebrate the new house with some drinks! This wine bottle opener will make the whole process easier. With a press of a button, you're ready to cheer to the new memories that will be made in the home.
KANARS Whiskey Decanter 25 Oz ($45.99)
This decanter is made with lead-free crystal. Its stylish design will make any scotch or whiskey look elevated. It is more ergonomic compared to the rectangular styles. Whoever you gift this to will know that you have a luxurious taste.
7 ) COZY LIFESTYLE
Tip: Always check beforehand to see if the person you are gifting to has these gifts!
SOOFYLIA Smile Face Slippers (Unisex) ($19.99)
These slippers are soft and plush to the touch. The smiley face gives it a welcoming character. It comes in various colors and sizes as well. My favorite part is the non-slip sole design which makes it easier to clean too!
XCE Foldable Bathtub Tray Expandable to 105cm ($29.98)
This is a luxury gift that you would rather receive as a gift rather than purchasing it yourself. It's a great addition to your spa time. The key part is that it is foldable so it can be easily stored. Just make sure that the person you are gifting to has a bathtub!
8 ) HOUSE DECO
These minimal decorations will be the perfect gift for any interior design!
SOKYND Clear Acrylic Floating 8x8 Frame (Free-Standing and Magnetic) ($25.49)
This picture frame works with mini polaroids. Because it is acrylic, it will go with any style of home decor. If you put some photos in there beforehand, it'll make the gift even more intentional.
PORPAN Glass Book Flower Vase (Secret Garden) ($21.99)
This is a different vase from the ones you will usually see. Instead of just gifting a plant, it will be a nice touch to put it in a pretty vase that they will want to keep. How unique is this?!
TWONE White Cloud Magnetic Wall Key Holder ($7.68)
This is not the standard key holder. Its powerful magnetic feature will keep your keys safe. This will be helpful to those who always lose their keys around the house. Also, this requires no hooks or drilling to install.
9 ) FRAGRANCE
Candles and diffusers are great but sometimes it's hard to choose which scent the person you are gifting to may like. Here are some safe gifts to choose from!
VACPLUS Moisture Absorber Packets, Fragrance-Free (10 Pack) ($20.99)
This actually has no fragrance which more people prefer. This takes away that musty smell and keeps the humidity out. It's surprising how much moisture can build up inside our closets! However, there are other fragrant options out there.
HONG-IN Candle Warmer Lamp (Electric) ($29.99)
Gift this candle warmer with your favorite candle, and it will be the perfect duo. It is a safer choice than having to worry about a fire. Also, the candle will last longer as you can adjust the wax melting speed.
10) ELEVATE THE BATHROOM
I want these all for my own bathroom!
OLETHA Aesthetic Square Tissue Box Cover ($9.99)
This will make your tissues look expensive! It's a great way to keep the decor cohesive. There are many different colors and textures to choose from.
NIUYICHEE 2 Piece Water Absorbent Diatomite Earth Soap Dish ($9.99)
This coaster soap dish will keep the sink from any wet stains. It is a great way to keep things dry as it is highly water-absorbant. It is also slip-resistant.
JACQUOTHA Luxurious 2-Pack Ribbed Striped Hand Towels ($14.99)
These soft and quick-drying towels are a great addition to any gift set. You can never have enough face towels, and I would suggest the white color to play it safe.
Gifting with thought and love
