As the saying goes, there’s no place like it (!) so it’s important to infuse our homes with items that truly delight us. From over-the-top pleasures like this vintage sterling silver cocktail shaker (complete with a pouring spout!) to the little luxuries like the beautifully-packaged soaps from Santa Maria Novella and La Double J’s playful dessert plates, it’s all about the joyful extras.

Whether you’re buying for a friend who just moved into a new house or hunting for a gift for someone who’s lived at the same address for a decade, a gift enjoyed at home is sure to thrill. Need a little help finding just the right thing? Allow me to direct you here, where you’ll find a curation filled to the brim (games, tabletop pieces, vintage finds, and more!) with the best gift buys for the home.

Below, a sneak peek at a few of my favorites.
