HOLIDAY LOVELY: Cozy Family Gifts That Keep on Giving

I know. I know. Sometimes a family gift is not every individual’s cup of tea. Trying to please everyone with one object that isn’t a swimming pool or a puppy? A tall order. But sometimes they make sense! Here are a few cozy family gifts I personally recommend.

3 Cozy Family Gifts

1. Freestanding Towel Warmer

So happy one of these recently came my way so we could experience a cozy luxe detail at home we found in bathrooms on visits to Europe.

I wasn’t aware of the existence of mobile, freestanding towel warmers since you typically see them installed on the wall. In fact, in the renovation planning stage, I had considered adding one to this wall where we put the shelf in our renovated bath:

Since it would be too tight a squeeze under the shelf now, Amba’s 24″ towel warmer is perfect at the other end of the tub. There’s a button to press it on at the top of the vertical bar on the left, and it takes about 10 minutes to completely heat to dry and warm the towels.

A thoughtful family gift especially in homes with just one bathroom, there are other uses such as for drying swimsuits and beach towels in summer.

A luxury for sure, but I can see it being helpful to some of you in your laundry rooms! If you’d rather just add the warmth of the Jenni Kayne candle? I like Topanga and Cedar:

2. Pet Portrait

You may recall I’m crazy about these portraits offered by Minted and seen on the board below:

I have gifted these to families, and they are cherished by everyone! Minted makes the process a snap, and you can choose the colors for the “painting.”

3. USA Hiking Puzzle

Have you checked out LL Bean lately? Just the coziest of family gifts! We stopped into the brick and mortar the other day and were impressed with the number of smart, quality, cozy gifts perfect for the whole family.

The TAKE A HIKE IN THE USA puzzle is a wonderful way to gather folks together and then discuss possible hikes to take in the future. What do you think?

Bonus Holiday Gift Ideas!

Peace to you right where you are.
