There are plenty of gift guides out there for the fashion friend who has it all, for the person who loves to host dinner parties, or for the Zoomer in your life who has an average daily screen time of nine hours. There's a large hole missing, though: a curated, thoughtful gift guide for your laziest, most sloth-like friend (read: me).
This has been a *year* with too many questionable, chaotic, and high-energy moments to count. While everyone is getting ready to celebrate the holidays and party 2024 away, I'm more than happy chilling at home under a weighted blanket and watching Sex and the City reruns. We all have a friend whose definition of fun is lighting a candle and reading or experimenting in the kitchen instead of going out on the town. For all the homebodies in our lives, it may be hard to gift them with something that feels exciting and fresh to capture their personality. Thankfully, as a lazy girl myself, I've rounded up 58 thoughtful gifts your besties will thank you for.
Below, shop all the best gifts for your introverted friends who love nothing more than to chill at home with a face mask on and a beverage in hand. Happy shopping!

Although I'm not a morning person, I like to pride myself in my alarms. After trying out the Hatch Restore 2, I have to admit I think I just might be a 5:30 a.m. riser now.
