​Top Gifts for the Home this Holiday Season

Looking for a unique gift this holiday season.  Why not consider something for the home that the entire family can enjoy?  I’ve curated a list of my favorite home items that are sure to make an impression on anyone on your list this year.  Some of these are decorative items, some of them are incredibly useful, and others are a mix of both.  Take a look at my top picks below, and try to remember this is the season of giving even though you may be tempted to buy them all for your own home!

Dinosaur Succulents
 
These adorable little planters will seriously brighten your day.  I have two on my windowsill and every time I look at them they bring me so much joy!  They are playful and easy to care for with minimal maintenance.  You can buy them locally at Maya on South Congress or on Etsy for about $20

​Ring Doorbell
 
Have someone on your list who always wants the latest tech gadget?  Consider a ring doorbell.  This modern doorbell features a camera that displays straight to your smart phone so you can know who is at the door without even getting up.  Find it on Amazon from $99

Faux Animal Head
 
Looking for a unique gift for someone you love?  Consider getting them a Faux Animal Head that will seriously turn heads!  White Faux Taxidermy makes a variety of beautiful animal heads that come in assorted colors to match any rooms décor.  In true Austin fashion, I chose a longhorn skull for my home, but they also have deer and elephant heads as well as more imaginative ones such as their unicorn mount. Find them at White Faux Taxidermy; prices range from $40-$140.
