Holiday Gift Guide for The Homebody
It’s that time of year again and with Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals happening, I decided to put together a gift guide to help you navigate through your holiday shopping. But, this isn’t just any regular holiday gift guide, this one is specifically for that friend or family member you have that prefers to stay in on Friday nights. You know the one that you invite out all the time, but they politely decline and would rather just stay at home, cozy in their pajamas, watching Netflix and really just chilling (it’s me, I’m that friend, LOL).
This gift guide is dedicated to all my homebody peeps out there, the ones that I can relate to because as much as I do like to travel, there really is no place like home.
P.S. Some of these brands are having major sales this weekend so be sure to check them out!
Cozy Up with Parachute Home
You know you’re officially an adult when you get excited over bed sheets and towels. But also, there is a reason to be happy over these things because they make life 10x better when you’re wrapped up in them. Especially if they’re extra cozy! Parachute is my go-to when it comes to sheets, towels, and robes because of their quality of comfort.
I’ve had their linen sheet set and comforter for over a year now and love it (featured in this post). I recently added their towel set to my collection of Parachute things and getting out of the shower now feels amazing. Not to mention their waffle robes are ultra-cozy and the best thing to throw on when you get out of bed each morning.
I know it sounds silly that a towel and robe can change your life, but if you’ve had those really thin and/or scratchy towels aka your friend’s guest towels, then you know that a quality, thick towel is worth it. Upgrade your friend’s lives and gift them some towels, a robe, and throw in some slippers too. That’s actually on my Christmas wish list. I’m a medium if anyone wants to get them for me :)
Parachute is having a 20% OFF Black Friday + Cyber Monday Sale!
Set the Mood with Vitruvi
If you follow me on Instagram, then you understand my love for Vitrivi. I have 4 diffusers in my studio apartment and use them every single day. My morning and night routine consists of a diffuser, and I’ve gotten a few of my closest friends hooked on them as well.
So what’s the deal with Vitruvi that has me obsessed? Well, first there’s the look. I mean, how chic are these stone diffusers? There are five colors to choose from and whichever color you go with, it’s sure to be a piece that your guests will compliment you on. Secondly, all their essential oils smell delightful. My friend made a comment that their eucalyptus essential oil is so different from any other she’s tried and she loves Vitruvi’s the best. She isn’t lying either, as eucalyptus is one I diffuse every day, along with bergamot and lavender. Their blends are equally great and save you the trouble of mixing oils yourself. My favorites are “retreat” and “boost”.
This is the perfect gift for anyone who wants an alternative to candles, people who work at home often since it’ll fit on the desk seamlessly, friends who read a lot because it’ll look great in that reading corner, and anyone who’s home you think would be better with one (which is everyone).
In addition, Vitruvi does have mists for sleep, wake, focus, and still, which I also love using. They’re great for traveling, especially when you’re in dire need of either sleep or waking up.
Vitruvi is having a 30% OFF Black Friday sale on Nov 28th, starting 1 PM PST. They are also offering a free gift for orders of $150.
Wind Down with Osea Malibu
It’s no secret that I trust Osea Malibu with my skin, especially if you’ve seen my cystic acne post. After my battle with cystic acne, the only products I used were from Osea. I specifically chose them because they are a plant-based skincare line that my friend, Celeste, was talking about non-stop. It’s been about 2 years since I’ve been an avid Osea user and each year, I gift my closest friends and family Osea products. They are just as obsessed as I am now.
Osea is located in Malibu, which makes them a local favorite and also has a studio that offers facials. You can read more about that here. They are a vegan and cruelty-free brand, and family owned and operated by the women.
Osea has a wide range of skin, body, and wellness products to choose from, so it’s really easy to find something that your friends/family will love. However, if you’re seeking something special for that homebody, I highly recommend their bath and body care items. From their sleep time bath salt to the body balm, to the cleansing milk, these items make for the perfect combination for a night in. It is the best gift package for those who deserve a little me time.
Lounge Around in LETT
Alright, this one is for all your fancy friends that wear match pajama sets and like the finer things in life. I’ll be honest, when I’m at home, all I wear are old t-shirts from my middle and high school days, you know the ones you get from whatever club/team you were in and/or got from winning an award. However, there are occasions where I’d like to think I have my life together and will change into nicer loungewear. It’s also gives me a presentable look when opening the door for the UPS and Postmates person, hah.
I was recently introduced to Lett Clothing and am now addicted to their pieces because they’re not only great quality, they’re sooooo comfy! I literally will wear this same set for 3 days straight. What I love about them most though? That they look good for roaming around the house AND going out for a quick errand or two. Heck, I actually have worn these out for lunch with friends before. Judge me all you want, but I really don’t think Lett is restricted to just lounging around the house.
Give your friend a set from this luxe leisurewear brand and they’ll thank you forever. Especially when they’re doing their IG stories in that loungewear set, they’ll be looking extra cute thanks to you.
Tidy Up with The Citizenry
Okay, so this is probably not the most wanted gift but it’s extremely practical and did you know that hampers are expensive? Cute ones that is.
I’ve been on the hunt for a hamper that is functional, large enough for my big load of clothes, and well-made. Fortunately, I stumbled upon one that I absolutely love from The Citizenry. I’ll admit that I may the only one that wants a hamper for Christmas, but if you look at my Christmas wish list, there are a lot of candles, books, a vacuum cleaner, a welcome mat, board games, slippers, and wall hooks on it. So, I may be a complete weirdo but tell me this isn’t cute?
The Citizenry has a very wide range of home decor items so if your friends aren’t looking for that, then there are pillows, blankets, bedding, basket, and rugs. Speaking of which, I swapped out my old bath rug for this one from The Citizenry as well.
As I mentioned above, I love towels. Weird, I know. So I also got an Egyptian towel from The Citizenry that is soft, strong, and pretty damn absorbent. Just another gift idea for those friends who need to upgrade their towel game.

Nap Time with Garnet Hill
If you haven’t realized by now, I’m all about the cozy vibes, which means I cannot skip on recommending a throw blanket that’s perfect for those Netflix nights. I love this brushed-cotton throw from Garnet Hill, especially this sage color as it’s just so calming. Super soft, the perfect size to wrap yourself up in, and has fringes on both ends for an added touch. Also, the fur babies love it just as much as me.
Hopefully you find a gift for that homebody in your life and/or for yourself because you should totally treat yourself too ;) Happy shopping!
