Whether (like me) you’ve been listening to Christmas music since September, or you’ve just realized with shock that Christmas is *next month* (what?!), it’s time to start thinking about gift-season!

Assuming you’re not one of those who finished your shopping in July (shout out to my mom!), then shopping season may be a source of stress for you. You want the gift to be personal, but you’ve got limited time.

No worries, I’ve compiled a list of some of my favorite gifts sure to make the recipient and their home just a little bit happier this holiday season!  

Heads Up! Since these are personalized you will want to order sooner rather than later. You’ve been warned. 😉

 

 

RECIPE PLATE OR PIE PAN. Love, love, love this! Transfer the recipes for grandmas special apple pie onto dish or pie pan. A great memento to display in the heart of the home. ❤️

The average turn around time  FOR THESE PLATES/PANS is about 10 days from purchase to shipment, although they offer express 1-3 day shipment via USPS.

      

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Door Mat. Perfect for the newly married couple, the friend that just purchased their first home or really anyone. Make their front porch just a little more cheerful.

These DOOR MATS are made for you in just 7-10 business days.

 

 

PERSONALIZED PILLOW. Why not have a sweet sentiment transferred onto a throw pillow? Not only is it sweet but it can be truly meaningful.

Pillows are ready to ship in 5-7 business days.

 

 

CUSTOM STAR MAP. Give this gift of The Night Sky to capture that significant moment when life was forever changed. It’s written in the stars! A proposal, birth of a child, marriage. You can customize this with location, date, time and special message.

         

 

 

FUNNY MUG. (Almost) Everybody loves a good cup of coffee. There are a ton of funny mugs out there (shout out to Amazon), just match one of these to the recipients personality, why not bring a smile to their face before they’ve even started the day? Bonus points if you add in some chocolate!

I SWEAR this will be a hit!

Purrrfect for your cat lover friends.

I so need to get this for my dad!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How about enhancing the KITCHEN by gifting TOWELS they’ll always want on display?

Each item in this shop is different but I added this Tea TOWEL to my cart with estimated delivery of just 9-12 days out.

                                     

 

 

For the PET LOVER. Convert any pet into a cartoon style portrait.

While this sweet Pet portrait‘s processing time is 10-15 business days, it’s available for instant download once ready. Just print, frame and wrap!

 

 

 

Nothing says cozy up like a LUXURIOUS BATHROBE and SLIPPERS. Perfect for chilly mornings and nights (heck, I’d stay in this ALL day!). Monogramming is available for this robe too. 😀 (You can find both these robes and slippers at Pottery Barn.)

     

 

Gift giving is not about the amount of money you spend but more about knowing what’s happening in someone’s life and touching on that. 

May your Christmas (and home) always be Merry!

HI, I'M REBECCA WEST!
I’m an interior designer, author, podcaster, speaker, and coach to other designers. (Whew!) But I’m not your classic interior designer because, frankly, I don’t care if you buy a new sofa. I do care if your home supports your goals and feels like “you.” Remember, happy starts at home!

Are you ready for a seriously happy home?

(Cue the confetti!)
