Lynn’s Wishlist: Top 10 Gifts for the Creative Homeowner
From Lynn on December 14th, 2009 in Home Decor
Here’s a list of stylish yet practical items for the homeowners in your life (or for me, if you feel so inclined). These multi-taskers can be used in traditional, everyday ways, but will be put to especially good use – and received with particular delight – by recipients with a creative spark.
Japanese Masking Tape
Bundle up a few rolls of these in complementary hues along with art supplies, and you’ve got the perfect gift for an arts-and-crafts fiend. |
Pink Tool Box
Or create a DIY repair kit for your favorite independent woman. |
Magnetic Spice Rack
These spice jars stick to a stainless steel wall-mounted rack. They can store up to 3 ounces of goodies and are dishwasher-safe. Get creative and fill with assorted nails, picture hangers, etc. for a new homeowner. |
Sparrow Hooks
These delightful little creatures can hold just about anything, from raincoats to children’s artwork. |
Eco-Friendly Bird Feeder
I love this gift for the outdoors. A very economical way for your recipient to keep their feathered friends happy. |
Collapsible Vases
These too-cool plastic vases fold flat when not in use. |
Art Gift Certificate
Help your friends help themselves! Give them a gift certificate to an affordable online art resource. They’ll thank you for allowing them to replace their generic stuff. |
Clock
Give the gift of time with this Karlsson DIY wall clock. |
Moth-Repellant Hangers
How can something this cute be so practical? That’s the idea of this round-up. Give a trio of these cedar-scented hangers. |
Etsy House Portrait
And, finally, for a truly custom gift, give a hand-crafted portrait of your recipient’s home. An artist at the Etsy store works with your photographs to create a customized little wall hoop. Your friends will appreciate it for years to come. |
