Need a special something for the special someone on your gift list? Whether you are shopping for a significant other, friend, coworker or just need a few small hostess gifts, it’s easy to get stuck in the same gift-giving rut. This holiday season, step away from the ties and sweaters, and consider home décor, furniture and accessories for your loved ones. From stocking stuffers to furniture investments that will last throughout the years, we’ve compiled a list of a few of our favorite things this holiday season. So, put on your little elf hat, grab a mug of hot cocoa and read on!

1. A cozy throw: Few things reach the same level of coziness as snuggling up with a warm throw on a chilly winter night. Choose a throw in neutral colors or the receiver’s favorite shades, so it will complement their home décor as well. Want to add something extra special? Put together a gift basket with the new throw and other items perfect for snuggling up: hot cocoa mix and a new book or movie. Now that’s a night in, done right!
2. Holiday coasters: A perfect stocking stuffer for the person who loves to entertain, a set of holiday coasters is sure to be enjoyed throughout the season. They take up little space, making them a great gift for almost anyone on your gift list. Looking to up the ante? Add a bottle of holiday wine.
3. Relaxing recliner: Give the gift of comfort this holiday season with a new recliner! Best for those on your wish list that you know well, a recliner matching someone’s style and comfort preferences is the gift that will keep giving. It will keep on giving as they plop down to relax after a long day. It will keep on giving as they recline just right to watch a favorite show. You get the idea! Choose a traditional recliner or upgrade to a power motion recliner with all the features.
4. A new lamp: Light up someone’s home or office with the gift of a new lamp! There are styles and sizes to meet everyone’s needs, from a small desk lamp to floor lamps. You can choose a style from traditional to modern to fit anyone’s tastes. And while we suggest skipping the leg lamp, many fun styles, such as owl-shaped lamps, are available for those with eclectic tastes.
5. Ottoman: Looking for a versatile gift for your spouse or a child who has recently left the nest? Look to one of the most versatile pieces of accent furniture: an ottoman. These multi-functional pieces can be used in almost any room as a place to kick up your feet and relax, extra seating for guests, or as a replacement for a coffee or cocktail table. Choose a storage ottoman to make your gift even more useful.
