Samsung Jet Bot+ Robot Vacuum with Clean Station, $799
Why it’s a great gift: Yes, it’s ::rubs fingers together to make international sign for pricey:: but if you work from home and/or have a pet and can swing it, a self-guided vacuum might just be the gift that takes 2024 from good to great.

Great for weekend road warriors who wish they could frame their Strava reports.
Courant dual device charging pad, $150
Why it’s a great gift: If you’re anything like me, deciding which device to charge—my phone or my earbuds—at the end of a long day is a constant struggle.
But no more! This elegant dual charging device not only looks good on a nightstand or end table, it keeps your electronics fully loaded.
Dartwood candle warmer lamp, $150

Lake Como Idyll (Assouline, 2023), $105
Why it’s a great gift: Coffee table books are always a good idea. They’re chic and they suggest you believe the recipient to be the type of person who enjoys receiving a gift as a gift.
Virtue signaling on both sides? Maybe. But who cares! Look at how good that thing looks laid open!
The Sill Calathea Medallion in planter, $67

.
Target doormat, $13
Why it’s a great gift: A doormat is one of those things you can look at every day and know needs attention but you just keep bypassing. Like flossing for your front hallway.
It’s why giving a new (totally affordable!) doormat as a gift is so thoughtful and unexpected. Pair it with a bottle of wine or a small plant for a thoughtful host gift at the holidays.
.
Dusen Dusen for Areaware tissue box, $40
Why it’s a great gift: A tissue box makes a great gift at the holidays because the recipient will wind up using it sooner rather than later, and they’ll have something nice to think about (“Look at this lovely tissue holder my friend/cousin/beloved co-worker gave me!”) rather than dwelling on the cold they’re nursing.
.
Figlia non-alcoholic apertivo, $43
Why it’s a great gift: We’d bet that a lot of people will be setting a resolution around drinking less—or not at all—in 2024.
Which is great. With the sober-curious lifestyle gaining steam, so many new and interesting non-alcoholic options have been birthed. Like Figlia, a spicy-sweet aperitif that makes a perfect holiday party gift.
Drink it on its own, or make a Fireside Fiore, the brand’s booze-free take on a hot toddy.
.
Public Goods cedar and suede candle, $12
Why it’s a great gift: Candles are as easy to snag as gift cards, but somehow come off much more thoughtful.
Take advantage of that!
This one by Public Goods is a great dupe for the luxe (read: $$$$) Le Labo Santal 33 scent.
.
Target bathroom organizer, $15

Jiggy 800-piece puzzle, $49
Why it’s a great gift: Each JIGGY puzzle comes in a reusable glass jar and includes a tube of glue, a straight-edge tool for completing a frame-worthy masterpiece.
This Natasha Cunningham–illustrated puzzle features a surrealist portrait, perfect for hanging in your home.
.
Johanna Howard Home “Lagom” throw blanket, $165
Why it’s a great gift: Much like candles, throw blanket are a universally acknowledged “good” gift.
