Including the alarm clock and coffee pod machine everyone needs in their life.

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.

We have a feeling that anyone who loves being at home, also loves a cup of joe. The Bruvi features eco-friendly pods and an easy-to-use touch screen for all their coffee and espresso needs.

We said it here first: Alarm clocks are making a comeback. And when it comes to this smart device, it's so much more than an alarm clock. It can help you fall asleep faster thanks to its white noise, nature sounds, and sleepy stories. Plus, it has a gentle two-phase alarm that wakes you up the way your body would naturally. It also doubles as a speaker and can connect to your other devices.

Ugg took its famous sheepskin lining it puts in boots and put it right where your feet go first. This cozy area rug belongs next to a bed.

If they love nothing more than sitting at home in their boxers and playing board games, they need this Scrabble set. It has an old-school vibe to it that will make their space seem instantly more cozy and cool.

For cool, funky decor at an easy price, you can't beat H&M Home. Bonus if you gift the vase with a bud or eucalyptus stem.

If their phone, AirPods, keys, wallet, and other things end up sprawled out on their countertop or bedside table, help them cut the clutter with this catchall tray. Plus, it doubles as a charger so their devices will be ready to roll at all times.

Soho Home's luxe magazine rack is simple and beautiful.

If your giftee is big on candles, this match cloche is a thoughtful addition to their favorite candle spot.

For a statement-making home decor gift, Jonathan Adler's bright lacquer trays are it.

Areaware's splat side table is a perfectly retro gift for the recipient who has a maximalist sense of home style.

Give them the gift of music all the time with this cool turntable. It includes a turntable and two M1 stereo speakers, which will provide the ultimate listening experience in any room.

It's fun, it's esthetically pleasing, and a classic game gift.

It's a fact: You can never have too many throws. This butter-soft blanket is made from 80 percent lambswool and 20 percent cashmere, meaning it'll keep them warm any time of the year. Plus, it comes in a handful of tasteful colors so you can match it to their existing decor.

Alright, the Always Pan is a must-have for more reasons than one. For starters, it's incredibly versatile and can be used to fry, saute, steam, and cook all kinds of meals. On top of that, it has cool features like pour spouts, an integrated spoon rest, and a custom stainless steel steamer basket. Not to mention, it's also super sleek and makes for a cool decor piece on the stove.

Tea kettles don't always look great, but Caraway's new one has a modern look to it we love. Plus, it whistles, which is kind of a cool classic feature you don't always find on these stylish options. It's the perfect gift for anyone who loves tea, but the problem is, now we want one, too.

This clock is timeless (no pun intended). It's ideal for any room of the house, including the office, living room, den, or bedroom since it'll pair well with existing decor.

The Citizentry offers elevated home designs from furniture to kitchenware all made by artisans around the world. These mugs were handcrafted in Mexico and make a great gift for coffee-drinkers or someone who just loves to supporting locally-sourced artisans.

Give their bar cart the upgrade it needs with this cool handblown decanter. They can stash their favorite spirit inside of it, and take a swig 'on the rocks' whenever they please. (Get it? There are rocks etched into this vessel.)

New dishes will make their place a whole lot nicer. (Trust us, we would know.) You can get them a dinnerware set with four dishes, a 12-piece set with soup bowls, a set of four ramen bowls, and more. Plus, all these ceramic dishes are microwave- and dishwasher-friendly, too.

Give their couch or bed a tasteful upgrade with these throw pillows. They're lined with a solid sheet of memory foam and filled with an adjustable cross-cut foam and microfiber blend, which means they won't fall flat. How about that?
