Buying a gift for someone you care about is a special thing. It is a form of intimacy that shows how much you care about the recipient and more importantly, how well you know them. Choosing a gift is a delicate art and we think that the best gift is something that is practical but also helps a person become who they aspire to be. This holiday season we have rounded up some of our favorite items from MUJI that can hit both nails on the head depending on who you are buying for.
The one who loves hosting parties
Throwing a dinner is not just about the menu, it is about the ambience and a well designed tablescape screams sophistication and elegance. You can find the prettiest flatware, porcelain pieces and silverware at MUJI. You can choose from glass, white, wooden and dishes with a hint of blue. Everything mixes and matches easily to create balance and visual interest. We love seeing the acacia bowls filled with colorful salads next to carefully plated white dinner plates that are available in several sizes and shapes.
The one who loves their coffee
We depend on our caffeine for fueling our day, but not all coffee experiences are equal. Making your own drip coffee is a beautiful addition to anyone’s morning routine. It allows you to start your morning with purpose and intention while you watch your cup fill with your favorite beverage. The MUJI dripolator will remind your friends how much you care about them every day as they make coffee.
The one who loves being (or is trying to be) organized
Being organized is one of those ultimate life hacks to level up your life. It makes life less stressful and frees up time and effort for more fun time or goal getting (whatever floats your boat, we don’t judge). And that is the true gift you will be giving if you put together a special life-management kit for your loved one. You can customize this depending on the recipient. A stationery set is perfect for people who love keeping a paper schedule. For the friend who loves her jewelry, an acrylic organizer will have her ready in minutes because she can see and access everything quickly.
The one who is seeking more zen
This also works if you are trying to force that person to be more chill. MUJI stocks our favorite aroma diffusers in Kuwait. The Ultrasonic Moist Aroma Diffuser Approx generates scented mist that will fill any room. It comes in two sizes, and there’s even a portable USB version. But the real gem here is the large range of high-quality essential oils that are available. From eucalyptus to bergamot and Japanese cypress to lavender, there is a scent for every mood and need.
The one who loves leisure time
If you are buying a gift for someone whose motto in life is “Netflix and Chill” then they need a bean bag in their life. Who wouldn’t love lounging on a body sofa that conforms to their body. Use it vertically or horizontally for different comfort levels and there are different covers to suit any room decor or color palette. On second thought, buy one for yourself because you deserve a gift too!
The one who is a fashionista
Fashion accessories can be a difficult purchase, but there is one product that everyone needs and is always practical in the winter. A scarf or stole can turn an outfit from meh into wow in seconds. It can add a pop of color, visual interest and elevate styling in a single swoop.
The collection at MUJI are super soft and lightweight but still give the wearer warmth. They can be worn like a scarf or a shawl and your recipient will feel loved and hugged all day long.
The one who spends too much time on their devices
That’s all of us these days, we’re not even going to try and deny it. The constant blue-light streaming towards our eyes was wreaking havoc on our sleep cycles until we purchased blue light-blocking glasses from MUJI. There are several designs and colors to choose from and we’re sleeping much better, so we have been recommending them to everyone. This is a gift that is life-changing, simple and thoughtful.
