23 Hygge Gifts That Homebodies Will Love

When the weather turns cold, there's no better reason to slow things down and recuperate from a busy year. As we naturally spend more time indoors during the winter, it's the perfect opportunity to incorporate aspects of the hygge (pronounced "hoo-gah") lifestyle—a well-being practice adopted from Danish culture. These hygge gifts are thoughtful treats for a loved one when they need a little extra R&R. Hygge is a mindset that encourages comfort, peace, and self-care—think soft candlelight, cozy socks, warm blankets, and anything else that helps you unwind at home. If you're looking for ways to embrace this slow-paced lifestyle, sit back and relax, because we've done the research for you. Here are 23 hygge gifts to buy for your partner, best friend, an engaged couple, or yourself in 2021.
