You’ve shopped for the traveler on your list. But what about for the homebody? You know, the one who prefers staying indoors and socializing with fictional characters in a TV show than going out for some healthy human interaction.
Oh, who am I kidding? The coronavirus pandemic probably turned us all into homebodies.
In fact, I drew from this shared experience to craft the gift guide below. I picked out things that got me through lockdown, things I wish I had during my time in isolation, and things a seasoned or newly formed homebody (like me) would love to find under the Christmas tree.
As always, everything on here is cash back eligible—which means you’ll be earning money no matter what item(s) you buy!
Get you a bowl that holds and makes your popcorn.
Retailed at $25, The Popper is a reusable, dishwasher-safe bowl that pops every kernel to perfection when microwaved for 2-4 minutes. Not only is it waste-free, it’s also oil-free, making it a healthier alternative for us and the planet.
Listed for $100, the Tasman is pretty expensive for a house slipper. But it’s worth every. single. penny. The feel of plush wool on your feet is incomparable. And don’t get me started on the foam footbed.
Tea gifts are always a safe bet—especially if they’re from Harney & Sons.
This holiday-themed set features 20 sachets of Vanilla Comoro (decaffeinated), 20 sachets of Peppermint Herbal, 20 sachets of Hot Cinnamon Sunset and 20 sachets of Chocolate Mint. That’s 80 bags of tea for just $34.95.
If they don’t take baths, they will now.
Hundreds of Walmart shoppers have given this $31 bath pillow five stars out of five because of its large comfy headrest and sturdy suction cups. As one reviewer puts it, “Where has this been all my life???!!!”
Get them to change out of their usual house clothes (AKA pajamas) and into these stretchy, breathable leggings from Alo Yoga.
Many colored pairs are on sale for under $100, so shop while they’re still in stock!
Insomnia doesn’t stand a chance against this luxury wind-down ritual, which includes the best-selling deep sleep® bath soak and award-winning deep sleep® pillow spray. Despite an $88 value, you can nab it for $72 on us.thisworks.com today.
Homebodies have their down days like everyone else. But they can get ahead of them by reading “The Comfort Book,” Matt Haig’s inspirational and life-affirming New York Times best seller.
Pick up a new hardcover copy at ThriftBooks for $19.67.
If they won’t meet you for fun and games, bring the party to them with this vintage edition of Monopoly. It’s sold exclusively at Anthropologie for $48.
While the Firstleaf Wine Club is a subscription-based service, it still curates wine bundles for non-members to enjoy. Sets start at $59.95.
Homebodies avoid stores at all costs. So, an Amazon Prime membership only makes sense. You can set them up for free two-day shipping, member-exclusive discounts, unlimited instant streaming and more.
Amazon Prime is $139 a year and can be canceled anytime. Plus, your purchase will unlock a $15 Amazon gift card—thanks to TopCashback.
Help create a relaxed ambience in their home with this portable fire pit that uses clean burning fuel for an odorless and smokeless experience. Believe it or not, it’s less than $100 at Brookstone.com.
Slip’s silk pillowcase is one of the hottest products of this year. But I won’t be surprised if the sleep mask joins the ranks soon. It’s soft on the eyes, creating 43% less friction than most sleep masks. And it absorbs the moisture that your skin and hair collect at night.
Sephora has multiple colors in stock for $50.
Microwaving cold coffee is a thing of the past. With this $88 mug, they’ll be able to keep their beverage hot via the wireless heating pad that also doubles as a phone charger.
Think how nice this would look and smell in their favorite room in the house. Its scent lasts for three months, longer than most candles. And by the time it’s used up, your homebody friend will want another.
Most fragrances, like the Ocean Mist & Sea Salt (pictured), are $58 online.
They’ll need to be cozy and festive for the holidays! Nothing screams that more than these $40+ adult onesies.
