There's nothing quite like flinging the front door open, dropping your computer bag on the nearest chair, ripping off your work clothes with gusto, and being in your own space. Yep, home is where you can really be you—no more trying to impress the hot shot at work, no more pretending to know the wines on the wine list at the expensive restaurant downtown, no more nothin'. At home, you can let your true colors shine.

Although, your home also says a lot about you—especially in terms of the things you own, that doesn't mean there isn't always a little room for improvement. We support this theory outside of our own home to, and are firm believers that this why home presents make the best gifts, because who doesn't want something new for the space they never want to leave?

So, to make this plain and simple, we curated a list of the best home gifts for the holiday season and beyond—whether they be to yourself from yourself or they're from you to a friend who could use a helping hand. Complete with top-rated dishes, cool candleholders, and cozy pieces for the living room, these home gifts will give any space the upgrade it needs. Be careful, you'll probably end up adding quite a few to your own wish list.
