Things to Get an Interior Nerd
Sometimes, distinguishing between his and hers just ain't gonna cut it. Sometimes, when trying to find inspiration for what to gift the loved ones in our life, we're looking for more elaborate indicators and guardrails as to what might fit their tastes.

As they say: happy space, happy place.
Pet owner? Parent? Home-office mainstay? Introvert? Whatever the case, the homebody in question is sure to take a liking to any of the below, for years to come.
