The Best Editor-Favorite Home Gifts of 2021
I'm a Home Editor, and These Are My 17 Favorite Gifts of 2021
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
Being a professional home shopper has its perks, one of which is always knowing what's the latest and greatest. It comes in handy more than ever during the holiday season as all my friends and family start asking me, "What's the best gift this year?" It's only the first week of November, and I've already been asked a handful of times. In order to make my life, and everyone else's, easier this year, I wrote about my top picks.
Ahead, you can find my 17 favorite gifts of 2021, so you can get shopping. The selection is a mix of bestsellers I always recommend and newly released products that I have my own eye on right now. I'm talking cookware, blankets, candles, all the things that make a house a home. Keep reading to see what a real pro is loving.
A Mini Dutch Oven: Great Jones Dutch Baby
As is the case with its big sister, The Dutchess, I can't wait to get my hands on Great Jones's Dutch Baby ($120). The cute little pot is great for side dishes or smaller dinners. Plus, it comes in a few cute colors.
A Smart Light: Casper Glow Night Light
I'm a fan of Casper's smart lights, and the newest addition to the line is the Glow Night Light ($35). Made with motion-sensor technology, it lights up dimly when you need it, so it doesn't disturb you or others in the night.

We love a good coffee-table book, and this signed copy of Justina Blakeney's Jungalow: Decorate Wild ($40) is filled with the designer's bold and playful style and photos. Plus, the stylish color deserves a place on display in their living room.
A Multipurpose Pot: Our Place Perfect Pot
My fellow editors and I love the popular Our Place Always Pan, and the brand has a new launch this year that we all can't wait to own, too: the Perfect Pot ($165). The handy pot has a steamer and a strainer built in, and comes with an amazing wooden spoon that has a resting spot.
