Looking for a special and unique gift for someone who just moved into a new house or apartment? Or maybe you’re treating yourself and finally upgrading your own space (you deserve it!). Whatever the reason, you’ve come to the right place.
Let’s face it: most guys are terrible at decorating. Their idea of “home decor” is a single folding chair and a TV balanced on a cardboard box. And don’t even get me started on their kitchen setups—cooking with one pot and a spork is not a lifestyle, it’s a cry for help.
That’s where this gift guide comes in. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite home-friendly gifts and eco-friendly subscription boxes to help elevate any new space. Whether he’s moving into his first apartment or finally upgrading to a house, these gifts are practical, thoughtful, and—dare we say—life-changing.
From must-have essentials to lighthearted, funny gifts, this list has it all. And if you really want to make a lasting impression (and save him from a life of sad, beige decor), we suggest giving at least two things off this list. Let’s turn that new place into a home he’ll love showing off.
