Gifts ideas for house proud friends and family 

02 Dec 2024

The holiday season is fast approaching, and finding the perfect gift for loved ones can be tricky. If you're shopping for someone who loves turning a house into a home, consider looking at the home décor aisle when going about your holiday shopping.

To help those who are fresh out of ideas, RE/MAX of Southern Africa shares some thoughtful gift suggestions for around the home that are sure to impress.

Luxury Candles or Diffusers

A beautifully scented candle or an elegant reed diffuser can elevate any space. Choose soothing fragrances like vanilla, lavender, or fresh linen for a universally appealing gift. For an extra personal touch, get the gift custom printed or engraved with their name or a personal message.

Indoor Plants or Planters

For those who have a passion for gardening, there can never be such a thing as too many house plants. Look for a low-maintenance houseplant, like a snake plant or string of pearls, and pair it with a trendy pot for a touch of style.

Kitchen Gadgets or Tools

If your friends and family are foodies, consider premium kitchenware, like a high-quality cutting board, a sleek knife set, or some new kitchen towels in a design you know they’ll love. You could also custom order an apron with their name on it.

Personalised Doormats

Everybody needs a good welcome mat outside their front door. You could find one with witty phrases that you know would suit their sense of humour, or have one customised with their family name.

Smart Home Gadgets

Tech-savvy friends will love any new devices they can use in and around their home, like voice-controlled speakers, video doorbells, or Bluetooth trackers to help them find their keys.

Those who are out shopping not only for gifts but also for their dream home are encouraged to rope in a reliable real estate professional to help ease the load over the holiday season.

"The holiday season is a busy time for many, but it’s also an excellent opportunity to find your dream home. By partnering with a trusted real estate professional, you can simplify the process and ensure a stress-free experience during this festive period,” says Adrian Goslett, Regional Director and CEO of RE/MAX of Southern Africa.
