Living in a small house means prioritizing everything that comes into our space. Highest on the priority list is anything multifunctional that doesn’t take up a lot of room. I know it’s hard to find gifts that meet these standards because I, too, can spend days trying to decide if something is worth bringing into my house. So here’s a short list of some stuff that would make good gifts for people living in tiny spaces.

Cool geometric hanging planter:

Indoor plants have rescued a lot of us this year. Bing stuck inside during lockdowns is a little easier if you can bring some of the outside in. Plus, adding some fresh oxygen in a tiny home is always helpful.

The gift of shame-free toilet use:

Speaking of oxygen, who doesn’t like keeping theirs stink-free? It is nearly impossible to confine poo-stank to just the bathroom when you live in a small home. Poo-Pourri is hands down the most effective at stopping the stink, making guests and residents feel more comfortable about a visit to the loo.

This wicked-cool minimalist serving bowl:

Kitchen space is the most valuable in a small home, but also the easiest place to create a cluttered mess. This serving bowl from tappas has a minimalist design and can hold snacks for everyone during movie night.

A super handy bedside shelf:

Small bedrooms rarely leave space for decorative bedside tables, which means getting a little creative about how to function without just putting your books and cups and candles and junk on the floor next to the bed. Enter the BedShelfie. Thank you, BedShelfie.

Vintage portable space heater:

Good for binge watching shows in comfort without having to wear stacks of blankets during cold snaps. Also good for putting by your desk while gaming- er, I mean working.
