MIDDI - 2024 Home Gift Guide
In search of the finer things in life — because the finest ones still cost too much.The clock is ticking down to Christmas and I’m all in on the seasonal festivities. I’ve just returned from some travels to the U.S. and Norway, where I partook in some familiar and new traditions that have me in the spirit. And while I’m feeling all the holiday feels (maybe it’s the mulled wine?) I’m still finishing up my gift shopping. This week, I’m sharing my third and final gift guide of the year, which includes three finds for the home, including one for the four-legged friends on your list. You can read this year’s fashion picks here — now, let’s wrap this up. Fable has quickly become one of my favorite housewares brands (previously featured here and here). Their minimal dishes and glassware are as gorgeous and they are tough, easily standing up to repeated wear and a few tumbles. When I saw they had a new ramen set (£68), which includes two bowls and two sets of chopsticks, I quickly snagged it (in shade Desert Taupe). And while these bowls are ideal for ramen, they’re also the perfect size for pasta, a rice bowl or even a big chopped salad. Pick this set up for the foodie in your life ASAP. I’ve long been singing the praises of Ruggable (previously featured here and here). If you’re looking for a gift for someone who likes to put their style on full display, I recommend one of their doormats (£139 and up). Go more personal with a monogrammed design or choose one of their colorful collaborations with well-known designers and style makers like Jonathan Adler and Iris Apfel. I know the price may seem a bit high for a doormat, but these washable rugs will give guests a beautiful first impression for a long time. I had to include something for the doggos. If you have a pawrent on your list who loves to go on outdoor adventures with their pup (or lives somewhere snowy or rainy), the dog drying bag (£19.99 and up) from Henry Wag is a must-buy. Scoop isn’t a fan of being toweled off after a walk, but he does love to be swaddled and snuggled. As soon as I zipped him into this microfiber bag for the first time (it also has velcro for extra security), he curled up in my lap for a snooze, staying toasty and cozy while the bag absorbed the water and dirt. In case you missed it … MIDDI is a weekly newsletter highlighting the best mid-priced beauty, fashion and home buys written by a millennial with a (somewhat under control) shopping problem.
