It’s that merry time of year again… November. The Halloween decorations have been torn down, the Christmas lights thrown up, and you’re wondering (again) just what to get for that special person… and you’re coming up blank, right? Yeah, sounds about right. That’s where we step in. In the seemingly never-ending run up, time both seems to slow down and speed up.
\nAll too often, you’re left scrolling on Amazon, or frantically running around the shops at the last minute, looking for something-anything you can wrap up and pretend you thought about and carefully planned months before. Sometimes, life just gets in the way of finding the perfect present.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So, empty the Amazon cart, take a deep breath, and let our gift giving guide do the work for you. Relax, we’ll take it from here.<\/p>\n
And remember – if nothing here really seems right, then a voucher is always a good idea!<\/p>\n
This one goes out to that person in your life who would choose their sofa or bed over everything else, every day of the week. And what better way to celebrate them this year than indulging their comfort-loving ways? A cosy throw or cushion is a great way to add a snug touch, so why not add some seasonal cheer with some holiday themed additions?<\/p>\n
Some product recommendations that might fit the bill:<\/p>\n
If you’ve got someone on your list who’s always ahead of the trends, and you’re wondering how on earth you’re going to be able to find the perfect present, we’ve got you covered. Look into something to help them elevate their space with some contemporary and modern d\u00e9cor additions. The best way to do this is by looking for some modern mirrors and statement pieces in their own personal style. <\/p>\n
Our Organic Round Mirror 88cm is a great choice here, and really stands out! Otherwise, go for our Framed Marble Clock 18cm – also great for those in your life who struggle to stay on time! Another statement piece is our Travertine Marble Clock 48cm – simple and still really stunning!<\/p>\n
If you’re looking for something a little bigger, then our Emerald Coffee Table is the perfect choice. It’s a really striking piece, and still gives the receiver the ability to decorate as they please. You can’t go wrong!<\/p>\n
A candle is always a safe and well-received option, everyone can appreciate a scented candle! Another good idea is our range of furniture care products. Not too expensive, so they won’t raise any brows, but still a useful and thoughtful gift! Otherwise, have a look through our range of accessories and you might just find the perfect non-personal option.<\/p>\n
A great way to celebrate the WFH-er in your life is to help them improve their home office set up. This can be as simple as adding some functional lighting to make the space brighter, and therefore, more enjoyable to work in . Another option is to upgrade the office itself with a new chair or desk. <\/p>\n
Some options we like are:<\/p>\n
Jade Table Lamp<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Tokyo Floor Lamp<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Fosta Brown Desk<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Luna Whitewash 2 Drawer Desk<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Sampson Office Chair<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
For the Reader<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n
The perfect gift for the bookworm in your life is undoubtedly a cosy reading nook or a bookcase with ample space to display their favourite reads. The best way to create a cute and comfortable reading zone is with one of our Cuddler armchairs – perfect for relaxing into with a good read! Add a cosy throw or blanket to turn the space into a peaceful retreat and you’re sorted!<\/p>\n

Gifting Tip:<\/em> Include a copy of their favourite book, or even a new read from an author they like – even better if it’s a well-designed hardback. <\/p>\n No matter who you’re buying for this year, there’s always something fun and magical about finding the perfect gift. This year, avoid the stress of last minute shopping and panic-buying. Furniture and home d\u00e9cor are really thoughtful gifts that last for more than just the Christmas period, and let’s face it – someone else will gift them the box of Quality Street. This way you can stand out from the crowd.<\/p>\n Happy Holidays and happy gift-giving from all of us at Michael Murphy Home Furnishing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s that merry time of year again November.
