The holiday season is finally upon us. After a turbulent year filled with oil spills and elections, it’s time to shift our focus to the people that are closest to us.
Of course, with end of the year comes the hectic holiday shopping season. With millions of gift guides floats around out there on the internets, it can be hard to sift through them all and find the right presents for your loved ones.
And of course, we wouldn’t be doing our part if we didn’t add to the madness. If you or a loved one has moved into a new apartment in the last year, now is the perfect time to give a gift that will complement their new abode.
Without further ado, here are 5 awesome items for that special someone who just moved into a new apartment.
Keurig Single-Cup Coffee Maker
Apartment-life can be difficult, especially when it comes to coffee. When roommates have different preferences from one another, what comes out of the communal coffee maker can be a contentious issue.
Eliminate this problem with a single-cup coffee maker, like this one from Keurig. With this sleek machine, all you need is a 4 minutes and you’ll have a fresh cup of coffee in your hands made just the way you like it. My, what exciting times we live in. $140
Everlast Home Pull-Up Bar
For the fitness nut in all of us, there’s the Everlast “Multi Function Chinning Bar.” While upon first glance this may appear to be one of your run-of-the-mill pull up bars, this baby actually has a lot of versatility.
Aside from hanging exercises, you can also hinge it to the bottom of the door and hook your feet under it to bust out a killer sit up session. It also can act as a reliable base for some perfect pushups. Who needs a gym membership when you’ve got this puppy? $30
