Wondering what to buy other home loving friends? You’ll love these 20 amazing gift ideas for haven creators!

As you’re creating a haven this year, it’s a great opportunity to help others create havens, too. You can do this by sharing recipes, decorating ideas … or giving gifts that appeal to the senses and are perfect for haven creation.

Christmas is such a naturally comfy, cozy time of year … absolutely perfect for creating a holiday haven. Christmas lights and colorful decorations brighten dark nights. Cheery music plays on radio stations and in stores. Tempting smells and flavors fill kitchens.

The sights, sounds, scents, and tastes of Christmas last a lifetime. Unwrapping certain Christmas ornaments bring back all sorts of sweet – and bittersweet – memories of Christmases past. When I listen to John Denver and The Muppets: A Christmas Together I’m instantly transported to Christmases of my childhood. And Christmas doesn’t seem quite complete unless I bake, smell and sample particular Christmas cookie recipes.

One of the beautiful things of Christmas is how easy it is to create a haven at this time of year. You can use both your traditional and favorite traditions in your home, but also try out new traditions and favorites.

As you’re creating a haven this year, it’s a great opportunity to help others create havens, too. You can do this by sharing recipes, decorating ideas … or giving gifts that appeal to the senses and are perfect for haven creation.
