9 Gifts for the Self-Care King on Your List
Get it right this year with these essential gift ideas for your beloved homebody.
Spending extended periods of time at home can be challenging, we know that first-hand. However, everyone knows someone who loves nothing more than hanging out at home base, whether that means they’re a fervent home cook, a vinyl-head, or even just a sleepy-head.
You might live with a classic Homebody or you might just be lucky enough to regularly venture into their perfectly curated territory. In any case, we know these particular characters well enough to feel certain they’d cherish anything from our list of gift suggestions below.
Paris 25 Cotton Jacquard Dressing Gown, Derek Rose
Everybody knows the bonafide Homebody’s most beloved companion is his house coat. Like a suit of armour designed to crusade through domestic chores and champion chill sessions, a well-made robe is the wardrobe staple for every true Homebody. This sleek, shawl-collared iteration from Derek Rose is collar made entirely from fine cotton ensuring this shut-in retains his sense of style.
Heathered Stretch-Technical Henley, H/54
This super-soft heathered grey henley from H/54 is what every stay-at-home man wants to wear; it’s comfortable, low-maintenance, and is still stylish enough to be spotted in by visitors or delivery drivers.
Heathered Stretch-Technical Joggers, H/54
Complete the set with H/54’s matching stretch-technical joggers. When worn together, the full heathered grey set (or groutfit, if you will) means each piece appears slightly more elevated, creating a more intentional look despite the ultra-relaxed feel.
Fringe Cashmere Throw, Loro Piana
Loro Piana is continuously lauded for its luxurious clothing collections, but the same effort and attention goes into the home and lifestyle items as well, just take this 100% cashmere camel throw for instance. The superfine finish and fringe trim give this extraordinarily soft blanket a touch your Homebody won’t be able to get enough of.
Ébène Fumé Candle, TOM FORD
For those in tune with their senses, setting the mood starts with the right scent — something the Homebody knows all too well. And, as far as fragrance goes, few do it better than TOM FORD. The designer’s alluring Ébène Fumé Eau de Parfum has been reimagined as a scented candle, which releases signature woody and fiery aromas into the air, creating a dark and mysterious ambience.
Sheepskin Suede Slippers, BOSS
When you’re within the confines of your own home, you’re permitted to be as cozy as you please, and that’s only possible once your feet are happy. Give the gift of absolute comfort at home with these faux fur-lined house slippers featuring a sophisticated suede finish from BOSS.
Tank Whiskey Glasses 2 Pack, Tom Dixon
One obvious advantage of spending time at home is avoiding the egregiously over-inflated costs of a decent cocktail while out on the town. The crafty Homebody knows his way around his bar cart, where these striking mouth-blown whiskey glasses from Tom Dixon (did the trademark hand-painted copper detailing give it away?) would sit beautifully on display.
Contemporary Japanese Architecture Book, Taschen
Book-reading is one of the most treasured pastimes of the Homebody, so naturally his collection is ever-expanding — and presumably, for one who spends so much time at home, he also has an affection for architecture and design. Look no further, this XL-sized coffee table book by legendary publishers Taschen showcasing Japan’s best contemporary architecture is an ideal addition to his library.
Watermint Gin Daily Face Cleanser 150ml, Blind Barber
Just because one’s face isn’t exposed to the sun’s rays as much as most, comparatively speaking, doesn’t mean one’s exempt from taking care of their skin. Plus, you’ve got all the more opportunity to be diligent if you’ve got unfettered access to your own bathroom. For all-round balanced facial cleanser that’ll leave him with a cool, fresh, and moisturized feeling, we love the Watermint Gin Daily Face Cleanser from Blind Barber.
