Real Estate Industry News

Not sure what to get everyone on your list this year? You likely aren’t alone. After such a defining period, where most of us have ended up spending more time than ever at home, what could be more appreciated and useful right now than gifts for our living spaces? Whether you need to buy something meaningful to give family you’re unable to visit this year, a unique piece of art, something luxurious to a new home-owner, or design-forward items for the home-chef, here are the best home and decor gifts to give and receive in 2020. 

Rifle Paper Co Wireless Charger

Everyone on your list needs to charge their smartphone, so why not do it in style? The Rifle Paper Co Wireless Charger looks chic on a nightstand, desk, or side table. It can easily be mistaken for a ring dish rather than a functional piece of technology. Available in two of the brand’s beautiful print designs, Wildflowers and Garden Party Blue—this device is compatible with most smartphones and Airpods.

Dose Of Roses Burgundy Rose Bear

This adorably charming bear from Dose of Roses isn’t for cuddling. Fourteen inches high, it looks beautiful on a shelf, bookcase, or even as a table centerpiece. Made from eternity roses, it lasts a lifetime, which is far better than a typical bouquet. Not into burgundy? Bears are also available in classic red, blue, and pink colors.
