Some items that were originally in this guide have since gone out of stock. This morning, I replaced the Hotel Collection candle with a Nest candle highly recommended by our resident candle expert. I also replaced a Voluspa candle trio with a set of 5 mini candles from the same brand.
It's shopping season, but the deals won't last much longer. Cyber Monday is the best time to score amazing deals on holiday gifts, especially when it comes to home decor, small kitchen appliances, barware, and more.
Sales like this are always welcome ahead of the holidays because home gifts are usually so expensive. Ironically, that's why they're such good gifts; homeware like this is the chance to treat your loved ones to luxuries they'd never usually buy themselves.
I spent hours combing through the sales to find only the very best based on my expertise as a shopping writer and our expert tests. From Anthropologie’s Cyber Monday sale to Amazon’s weekend deals, there are plenty of savings to be had on the best home gifts.

Black Friday FAQs
What makes a good home gift?
I always think everyday luxuries are the best home gifts. They're things that elevate the everyday that the recipient would otherwise never buy for themselves. It can be as simple as a luxury hand-wash or as extravagant as a large Dutch Oven.
Are appliances ever a good gift?
They can be. Kitchen appliances can be a great if you know the recipient loves to make coffee or bake. I'd steer clear of more mundane things like vacuum cleaners, however.
