With spring just around the corner you may know someone moving into a new home and are in need of a house-warming gift. Or perhaps you need a birthday gift for a friend who is a home décor lover. I’ve listed my 6 perfect home decor gifts for when you need something special to give someone and tips for how to use them.


These items are classic, multi-functional, and are great for anyone on your list at anytime of the year. Then I’ve provided a few of each of my favorite 6 perfect home decor gifts for you to shop.


White Pitcher


A white pitcher will never go out of style. Use it to serve lemonade in the summer or to hold a bouquet of flowers. It makes a beautiful statement in the kitchen or dining room, on the counter or the center of the table. 

How perfect would it be to give this to someone already filled with a bouquet of their favorite flowers? I would be in heaven!


Serving Tray


I have this serving tray in my home and I use it for corralling papers on my kitchen counter, but that’s not its only purpose. You can use it as a coffee table centerpiece to hold a stack of books, the remotes and a candle. 

Read more about how this serving tray keeps my kitchen island clear.


It would also be so lovely in summer set in the middle of the patio table filled with small bowls of fruit and snacks for an outdoor party.


Candle


I know this is an easy one, but with so many colors, shapes and scents, how do you choose? You can go with a seasonal color. Think about pastels for spring and warm colors for fall. You could also pick the favorite color of the person you are giving it.

This one from Target looks beautiful for spring and smells lovely.


Cake Pedestal


I love a white cake pedestal when serving a cake. Take a plain cake and place it on a white pedestal and it instantly elevates the look. Use it for cookies too or other desserts. Anytime you’re hosting a party you can use your cake platters to serve some food and this will keep your display of food interesting by using different heights. 

You can see how I used mine here to serve up some treats on Valentine’s Day. Homegoods is my favorite place to find white serving dishes.


Plant


I believe every room in your home can use a plant. These can be real or faux. Greenery adds life to a room, brings joy, and adds texture. It makes a space feel complete and livable. The real ones are good for the air too!

Homegoods is once again one of my favorite places to find faux plants like this one. I especially love the design on the pot.


Throw


This is one of my favorites! I get cold easily, and I always have a few of these hanging around in a basket in my family room.  A lightweight patterned one makes a great gift in the spring as does a soft, warm and cozy one in the fall. You can keep a few in a basket or drape one over a chair or sofa in the living room. Choose one that coordinates with the décor or a favorite color.

How fun is this cute throw? I like to add a throw in each of my living room designs. Read more about this modern farmhouse style living room.
