Shopping for someone else’s house is intimidating. What do they not have yet that you can buy them? What’s the most useful thing they’ll definitely use instead of just adding to their shelf clutter?
There are a few easy classics that folks love to gift—who doesn’t love a candle or another little houseplant?—but there are also a lot of really useful, beautiful gifts that you can gift instead. After living in eight different apartments in the past 10 years and buying my first home just a few months ago, here are the items that are getting daily use in my house.
