I lovingly call my apartment a shoe-box – for two reasons. 1. because there are SO MANY GORGEOUS SHOES inside it, but more accurately 2. because living in NYC generally means your apartment is that size – better know as CHARMING, COZY or in layman’s terms SMALL.
Apartment Guide has some great suggestions for the perfect gifts for small space living…I’m totally digging the Shower Speakers if anyone wants to buy me a pressie 🙂
12 Gifts for those Living in Cozy Quarters
1. Multitasking kitchen appliances such as Cuisinart Immersion Hand Blender (SRP $29.99)
Immersion hand blender equipped with powerful 200-watt motor; Blade provides smooth blending; protective guard helps prevent splattering;
Simple push-button controls and lightweight design for one-handed operation
2. French press such as Bodum Chambord 3 Cup French Press (SRP $40.00)
The French press lets the coffee beans develop their fullest aroma so it doesn’t come as a surprise that it is the brewing method of choice for coffee tasters trying to determine quality beans. The simplest route to an excellent cup of coffee: coarsely ground coffee, hot water, wait for 4 minutes and press down the plunger.
3. Exquisite shower products such as LUSH’s Olive Branch Shower Gel ($28.95)
If your body has been beaten down by the rigors of the rat race, extend an Olive Branch as a peace offering and give yourself some tender loving care. Once you give it a good shake (the shower gel, not your body), the skin softening organic olive oil will be nicely blended in.
4. Vertical, indoor garden such as this Chalkboard Wall Planter by Williams Sonoma ($139.95)
Bring your wall to life with a stunning vertical herb garden. This planter mounts securely to the wall and offers a unique, space-saving way to harvest fresh herbs while adding lush greenery to your kitchen or an outdoor area. Just fill the cells with the herb of your choice, and water as needed through the top irrigator; the hidden collector tray catches excess runoff.
5. High-end headphones such as Sennheiser’s Momentum Line ($349)
The MOMENTUM headphones makes the famous Sennheiser sound quality tangible. It is reflected in the material selection of these refined headphones – the use of supple, breathable leather for the headband and earcups, displays our commitment to style.
