It’s one of the busiest times of year, and we all have that friend or relative (maybe it’s you) who would rather turn in early and drink a hot cuppa something than whoop it up at a holiday party. For those who love their me-time, who make their homes a serene and stylish oasis, who are secretly happy when you cancel plans with them: here are the best presents.
