    32 Unique Home Things To Grab From Small Businesses

    Go ahead, grab some things for yourself *and* some things you can gift.

    1. A Dusen Dusen x Areaware tissue box cover that makes your Kleenex a work of art instead of an eyesore.

    2. A cozy throw blanket with an illustration by artist Octavia Mingerink that's so beautiful, you may just want to unfurl your sheets and actually make your bed so you can see the full thing.

    the fringed blanket which says "the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice"

    3. A roll of floral wallpaper if your absolute dream is to live inside of Monet's Water Lilies exhibit at the Musee de l'Orangerie.

    4. A "bad at sports" pennant if self-deprecating jokes (and thus decor) are kinda your thing.

    5. A lasercut architectural print with SO much dimension, guests *will* stare at it for a good 15 minutes every time they visit.

    6. A 'Sunday Morning' candle that the studio says is "reminiscent of whiling away at the local farmer’s market, sifting through luscious fruits and freshly picked flowers." I mean...sign me up immediately!

    7. A 'loopy' pillow so freakin' special, whenever someone compliments it, you'll want to tell them about how it was handknit out of 100% cotton by a cooperative of women in Lima, Peru.

    8. Or a blueberry throw pillow if your aesthetic could best be described as "4-year-old who stole their mom's Mastercard." Ain't nothing wrong with being young at heart!

    9. A delightful lil' cat planter if you (and I mean you... totally not talking about me) started out decorating your apartment with feline designs in an ~ironic~ way but have now just fully embraced your true cat-loving self — decor and all.

    10. Or, should amorphous forms be more your thing, a green planter with decorative loop detailing and a textured surface.

    11. A set of Christmas trees fashioned from books for the serious lit lover amongst us. They even pack down flat so you can easily stow them away during the off season.

    12. A lovers print that can be viewed as both two figures in a comforting embrace and/or an anatomical heart. Très cool if you ask me.

    13. An acrylic dog gate if you simply *refuse* to install one of those metal or wood ones that make your pup look like he's behind bars. Plus, this one takes up no visual space and doesn't have to be screwed into the wall — it's completely portable!

    14. A faux book display that actually hides cords and cables in its hollow interior. If your router is ruining the aesthetic of your bookshelf or media stand, this is the solution!

    15. A mushroom cloche light *you* get to assemble yourself because no matter your age, there's something so magical about a twinkling forest floor — especially one you can create to your personal liking.

    16. A live edge teak floating shelf so stunning, you really don't even need to put anything on it. Ofc, that is not the point of a shelf, so go ahead — gather up your most precious knickknacks for all to see!

    17. A set of funky "overunder" wall hooks that *may* just convince you to hang up your towels. (No promises, though.)

    18. A shimmering Africa-shaped geode table with metallic pearl, white, silver, and gold accents finished with simple hairpin legs that don't distract from the action up top.

    19. A Birthdate Candle if you're the type of person who often says "that's just the double Taurus in me." 💁🏼‍♀️ Each date's scent is inspired by astrology, numerology, and tarot so it's truly a one-of-kind fragrance.

    20. A two-tier Art Deco chandelier with 100 transparent test tubes you can fill with your favorite seasonal flowers.

    21. A faux-fur weighted blanket filled with Earth-friendly glass beads ready to slash your stress and help ya sleep. Unlike most of its competitors, you can even throw it in the washing machine!

    22. A set of fleurs des frites vases in franchise-appropriate Mickey D's colors or a more aesthetic pale pink if you've got an IG aesthetic to uphold.

    23. A roman column candle if you've already collected candles in oh....every other shape on the market.

    24. A planter with a painted abstract face that catches the eye and holds it. Use it as a centerpiece on your dining room table or place it on a barren window sill where it'll get ample sun and zhuzh up your space.

    25. A set of cotton tie-dye napkins that'll not only look fantastic when folded up on your dining room table, but will pick up spills in a way that just melds with the existing pattern. That way, you don't have to worry about them being "just for show" napkins.

    26. An abstract Black Pepper Paperie Co. print that makes me want to start an entire gallery wall just so I have a worthy place to hang it.

    27. A wall tapestry with a group of mushroom hat-clad dancers sure to cheer you up whenever you glance their way.

    28. A New York City print that — in the most aesthetically pleasing manner — shows exactly where every neighborhood is so when your mom asks why you can't meet your aunt for lunch on the Upper West Side, you can point out the fact that you live in Bushwick and do, in fact, have a 9–5.

    29. A hand-sculpted Katie Kimmel Dalmatian vase with a face SO stinkin' cute you'll want to pinch its cheeks even though they're made of clay and not fur.

    30. An ethically sourced butterfly objet d'art if friends would describe your style with adjectives like spooky, whimsical, and obscure.

    31. A twisty glass candle holder that nearly every reviewer says they'll be passing down as a family heirloom. Psst if anyone else ever needs to re-home these bebes, feel free to add me to your list!

    32. And an iridescent acrylic table guaranteed to throw light all over your space even if you only have one unobstructed window because your other one is harboring an AC unit that you're too afraid to take out by yourself.
