One thing we’ve cultivated during the pandemic is caring for our home. Gifting friends and family who have embraced their newfound fondness for keeping home will enjoy the gift of choice offered by ITOOH Homestyle (www.shopitooh.com), a website selling affordable and stylish home items. Besides its diverse offers, the site also offers gift cards. Have friends and family who seem to have everything but could use one more home accessory or furniture? Here are gift ideas from ITOOH:
For the pet lover. If you hang with pet owners, you’ll know that they often cherish items for their beloved animals. There’s a reason pets are referred to as “fur babies,” after all.
Give a grand present fit for a pampered pet or give this as part of a set or on its own. The reversible Abacama Hand Woven Pet Bed (07) is a beautiful option that happens to be Filipino-made and crafted with eco-friendly materials. The woven Abaca used is also hand-dyed, so you get that unique coloring that simply isn’t achieved by regular machine processing.
Furniture for the festive home. The Raggio Divan (08), is a dazzling and elegant accent chair that feels like it would fit into any classic Hollywood picture. If your recipient is a lover of cocktails and gatherings, the handsome Prizmic and Brill Bar Cart (01) is a real winner. While it doesn’t take too much space, it comes equipped with prep stations, drawers, bottle racks, and tray sections.
Practicality meets style. Who says compromise is inevitable when choosing a present? With the right choices, you can get something that is both practical and stylish. Friends and family alike may be keen to receive something that’s great to look at and useful to keep.
A classic choice is a set of fine china or other forms of crockery. The Seletti Hybrid Aglaura Glass Set (05) comes with three unique Italian hand-blown and painted glasses. If you’re thinking of something more on the side of marble, you can get the Mendo Candle Holder (09). It’s chic yet durable and readily usable.
Finally, a wonderful gift that can be both artistic and practical is a light fixture. Take the Malabulak Sculpted Blossom Lamp (03), which graciously lights up a room while featuring a limited edition high-polish titanium brass gold body with hand-sculpted floral leather detailing. Art that serves more than one purpose can be pretty irreplaceable.
Gift card for the win. While you may feel apprehensive about choosing a gift card for fear of seeming impersonal, consider how a gift card enables you to give the best thing — the freedom of choice. With a wide range of items in different categories, it’s simply ripe for a fun shopping spree. The ITOOH Homestyle Gift Card (10) comes in values of P1,000, P3,000, P5,000, and P10,000, so you can always provide the perfect spree for whatever catches your recipient’s eye. ITOOH’s Homestyle Holiday Sale features more items and other goods for living, bed & bath, dining & kitchen, and kids and more all at up to 70% off.
On top of these giftables, shopITOOH now offers special reupholstery and repair services to breathe new life to priceless home furniture bequeathed as heirlooms, each with their own sentimental value. Embrace the joy of decorating as the shopITOOH Christmas Sale runs till 18 December, with major discounts, free delivery, and zero % installment options.
