Unexpected Home Gifts That
Everyone Wants

In partnership with our friends at TUSHY

You got the invitation. Yes. You love the Smiths. They throw the best holiday parties. (Those maple and pecan puddings they served last year were insane.) Your outfit is set. Calendar cleared. You can’t wait.

But there’s just one thing: What in the world do you get them? The Smiths, in all their hosting glory, have everything. Every gadget, every clean candle, every bottle of carbonic Italian Sangiovese. Plus, you got them a crystal-infused decanter last year. How do you top that?

Here’s how: by getting them something they’d never, ever think to get themselves. That’s a tall order—so here’s your guide.
