Thoughtful Christmas Gift Ideas for the Home Decor Lover

Curated by Red's Holiday Decor

If you have a friend or family member who lights up at the sight of throw pillows, has a “candle closet,” or rearranges their mantel seasonally—you’ve got a home décor lover on your hands. This holiday season, skip the generic gift cards and give them something they’ll truly appreciate: beautiful, thoughtful gifts that match their style.

Here are our favorite hand-picked ideas for every home décor enthusiast on your holiday list:

1. Designer Holiday Ornaments

Help them add something special to their Christmas tree with hand-blown glass ornaments, velvet baubles, or metallic statement pieces. Choose ones that fit their favorite color palette or holiday theme.

Pro Tip: Wrap them in a velvet pouch or custom ornament box for an extra-luxurious feel.

2. Seasonal Scented Candles

Think beyond basic pine and opt for layered scents like balsam + amber, fig + fir, or peppermint + vanilla bourbon. Look for beautifully designed vessels that can be reused after the season.

Gift idea: Bundle a candle with a pretty wick trimmer or matching jar for a full set.

3. Personalized Home Accents

Custom items like embroidered stockings, monogrammed throws, or engraved cutting boards make heartfelt and useful gifts. They bring a personal touch to everyday décor.

4. Coffee Table Books (That Double as Art)

Choose oversized design books about interior styling, Christmas decorating, florals, or architecture. Not only are they inspiring—they’re also beautiful on display.

5. Luxe Holiday Throw Blankets

Think chunky knit, faux fur, or cashmere blends. Choose colors that complement holiday decor or offer a neutral that will work all winter.

Wrap Tip: Roll the blanket and tie with a satin ribbon and mini ornament for an Instagram-worthy presentation.

6. Elegant Tablescape Sets

Help them elevate their next dinner party with unique chargers, napkin rings, or heirloom-style table runners. If they love entertaining, this will be a holiday hit.

7. Mini Pre-Lit Trees or Wreaths

Smaller-scale décor like tabletop trees, LED wreaths, or mantle-ready garlands are great gifts that add instant holiday charm without the need for major storage.

8. QVC Holiday Finds (Curated by Red’s Holiday Decor)

I love incorporating my favorite QVC holiday items into my professional installs—and many of them make wonderful gifts! Look for limited-edition light-up pieces, collectible figurines, and luxe garlands that are as affordable as they are festive.

9. Gift a Decor Service

Treat them to a holiday decorating service or consultation with a designer (hint: me!). It’s an unforgettable experience and a gift that brings joy all season long.

Wrap It Up Beautifully

Don’t underestimate the power of presentation! Home décor lovers appreciate beautiful wrapping. Use kraft paper, velvet ribbons, dried orange slices, or mini bells to finish the look.

Give Gifts That Make Their Home Shine

When you gift with intention, you’re not just giving an object—you’re giving joy, inspiration, and a reason to celebrate every time they walk through the door.

Happy gifting and happy decorating,
