The holidays are busy, so we kept this list short: thirteen simple things for the table, the couch and the kitchen. We picked them from popular Home & Kitchen items in the U.S. store. We have not tested them, and we do not show prices because they change often.
For the table
A runner, matching airtight containers for leftovers and a cast iron skillet cover a lot of holiday cooking and serving.
For the couch and the lights
A soft throw, fresh pillow inserts and damage-free light clips make a room feel warm without a remodel.
For the kitchen and cold days
A small slow cooker, a compact air fryer, an insulated tumbler and a safe space heater help on busy, chilly days.

Bamboo Cutting Board Set, 3 Pieces
Best for holiday cooking, charcuterie and gifts
A set of three bamboo boards with juice grooves and side handles. Use the large one for roasts, the small one for cheese and snacks. Check the reviews and the care instructions before you decide.
Smeg Retro-Style Drip Coffee Machine
Best for a retro coffee corner or a special gift
A 10-cup glass-carafe drip machine with an auto-start feature and a 1950s look. It is a splurge piece, so compare it with simpler machines and check the reviews before you decide.
Soft Throw Blanket for the Couch
Best for a cozy couch corner this season
A soft, machine-washable throw is one of the easiest ways to make a living room feel warm, and it also makes a simple gift. Look for a size that covers a lap and a care label you are comfortable with.
Fall Cheesecloth Table Runner
Best for an easy Friendsgiving or Thanksgiving table
A long runner sets the look of a whole table in one step. Cheesecloth is light, drapes loosely and works with candles and simple plates.
Damage-Free Light Clips
Best for hanging string lights without nails
Clips that stick to the wall let you hang lights and garland without hammering holes, which helps renters. Check the weight and surface limits on the package.
Stanley IceFlow 2.0 Flip Straw Tumbler, 30 oz
Best for a gift for a coffee or water lover
A popular insulated stainless steel tumbler with a flip straw and a carry handle. It is a common gift pick. Check the color, the lid fit in your cup holder and the reviews before you buy.
2-Quart Slow Cooker
Best for hot dips and a hot chocolate station
A small slow cooker keeps dips, cider or cocoa warm for a party without using the stove. Keep the cord away from the edge of the counter.
Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet
Best for holiday cooking and gifts
A cast iron skillet goes from stove to oven and lasts for years with simple care. It is heavy, so check that you can handle it comfortably.
Throw Pillow Inserts, 18x18
Best for refreshing the sofa for guests
New inserts make old pillow covers look full again. Match the insert size to your covers, usually one size larger than the cover.
Vtopmart Airtight Food Storage Containers, 24 Pieces
Best for leftovers and a tidy pantry after the holidays
A 24-piece set of airtight containers with labels, handy for leftovers, snacks and dry goods. Check the sizes, the lid type and the reviews before you buy.
Portable Space Heater with Thermostat
Best for a chilly room in winter
If you use a space heater, look for a thermostat, tip-over and overheat protection, and plug it straight into the wall. Never leave it running unattended or near fabric.
Compact Air Fryer, 4 Quart
Best for small kitchens and quick sides
A compact air fryer is handy for sides and leftovers. Check the capacity against the number of people you usually cook for.
