These 25 Furniture Gifts Are Perfect For Any Home

Sure, a sun-shaped headboard would be difficult to wrap, and ​yes,​ a mirrored vanity probably will hog up all the space beneath the Christmas tree — the gift of furniture isn't necessarily the easiest to deliver, but it's always a winner to receive.

As you can imagine, the thought of gifting furniture can raise a few questions. For starters, when's a good time to do so? A piece of furniture can make a great gift for the holidays, housewarmings, baby showers, and birthdays, to name a few. But most importantly, it's ideal for people who actually want new furniture. As nice of a gesture and statement gift furniture can be, it can be a hassle to find space for big-ticket items, like sofas and bed frames, when they aren't needed.

However, not all furniture gifts have to be so large-scale. Smaller items, including ottomans and side tables, can be fun and unique gifts that don't require too much planning ahead of time. And if you're not sure what furniture to buy for the home decor lover in your life, you can't go wrong with sending an e-gift card to your loved ones' favorite furniture brands.

Whether your family member is in need of a new sectional for their living room or your favorite person in the world just moved into a new place, here are 25 furniture gift ideas they'll love.
