7. Brunello Cucinelli Set of Two Glazed Ceramic Mugs & Saucers
Ceramics are one of those homeware items that we all love in theory, but rarely invest in — especially since a set of white cups and plates are really all one needs to make their house a home. Because of this, gift your hosts something that they’d never thing to buy for themselves, like Brunello Cucinelli’s set of two glazed ceramic mugs and saucers. This stunning set was carefully cast in Italy and is made of neutral-toned ceramic that’s swirled and glazed to create a perfectly imperfect finish.

8. Breville Joule Oven Air Fryer Pro
Every home deserves an air fryer, and while most homeowners likely already own one, chances are that they’re just transporting a rusty, tried-and-true fryer to their beautiful new abode. If you find out that your hosts are those people, level up their appliances with Breville’s bestselling Joule oven air fryer pro. Feature highlights include 13 smart cooking presets, a large capacity that fits anything from a pizza to a turkey and an epic app for cook-progress monitoring.
