Quirky & Fun Home Accessories That Would Make the Perfect Gift

Unique home gifts can make for perfect presents, no matter the occasion. A characterful statement piece of home furniture can be enjoyed year-round and serve as a constant reminder of the love and friendship shared between family and friends.

At Accessories for the Home, we love finding truly unique items to share with you. Here are some of our favourite items that we think would make for excellent housewarming gifts.

Home Decor Gift Ideas

Getting the right home gift will depend on the person – find out what kind of style they enjoy and what kind of space they have for a new piece. Getting your friend that awesome retro chair you saw might sound exciting, but it could become a burden if they don’t have space.

When putting this list together, we considered these factors concerning the ultimate home accessory gift:

• Unique: A home gift needs to speak to the owner’s personality and be something they’re unlikely to find for themselves.
• Stylish: There’s plenty of fun here but no novelties; all home gifts should be stylish enough to look good all year round.
• Coffee Table Size: Vases, lamps, small mirrors – great home gifts don’t take up too much space; if it works on a coffee table, that’s usually a good sign.

Of course, great home gifts can always break the mould, but if you’re trying to find something, these are good rules to follow.

Unique House Warming Vases and Planters

Vases and planters make for excellent gifts for the home. They’re functional, versatile and full of character, the perfect little statement piece that will always attract attention.

We stock a wide collection of vases and planters to suit all home interior styles. However, if you’re looking for something that truly stands out, why not consider one of our unique body vases?

Body vases speak to our unbreakable connection to the natural world, creating emotional pieces that are both fun and stylish. We have a range of styles to suit different tastes, from the full-bodied Charnel Natural Stoneware Body Vase and Elora Ceramic Body Vase, to the joyful spirit of the Nordal AVAJI Lower Body Vase (pictured).

Furthering our connection to the natural world, animal-themed vases can also create stunning accents to contemporary home styles, while also offering versatility. Beautiful pieces like the Alazar Ceramic Giraffe Vase and the Varga Glass Fish Vase (pictured) look just as good with plants in the living room as they do holding pens in the bedroom or home office.

Fun Wall Accessory Gift Ideas

There’s always wall space for something special. Unique home wall gifts, whether it’s a statement mirror or beautiful little photo frames, can add a wonderful highlight to existing spaces.

A collection of small wall mirrors is a wonderful way to add depth to a room in a fun and unique way. The Fawkner Set of 3 Wall Mirrors or the Camden Set of 5 Round Metal Frame Mirrors (pictured) all look beautiful in their own right and allow for plenty of creativity in how your recipients choose to style them.

For a more personalised gift, consider some beautiful brass photo frames. The Kiko Brass Glass Photo Frames are available in sizes from tiny to extra large (pictured), perfect for creating truly unique wall art.

Trendy Home Accessory Gift Ideas

There’s much more to choose from when it comes to gifts for the home. If you’re still looking for something special, consider some of these ideas:

• Cushions: A classic gift, vibrant cushions such as the Zuiver Kylie Flamingo Cushion add personality and warmth to any space.
• Candles: Pieces like the Palva Monkey Candleholder make a charming addition to fireplaces and console tables.
• Bowls: Ornamental bowls like the Jahi Solid Brass Trinket Bowl can be wonderfully functional whether they’re collecting keys by the door or serving party snacks.
