Christmas day is just around the corner, and if you are like me, there are still a few people left on your list to shop for. Gifts for the home (or dorm room for those college students who will be heading back after Christmas) that can be used are what I love to give and receive. Today I am sharing with you two gift ideas that are great for someone who just bought or built a new home. Both are a need when it comes to entertaining guests. While they are both a must-have if you are going to have guests in your home, one is a bit more for the host and the other for the host and their friends/family.
When we have friends and family over, throughout the year, we want to make sure we have the cleanest house possible. I’ve always dreaded mopping because it’s meant using chemical cleaners to get my floors clean. Thanks to the Shark Steam Mop, I can now forgo the harsh chemicals and steam clean my floors with water alone.
With the Shark Steam Mop, you can effortlessly clean your SEALED hard floors with the power of steam. Because it can cut through grease and grime, you are getting the clean floors without needing any additional bleach or cleaner. The Shark Steam Mop was super easy to assemble (hey, if I can do it anyone can) so I was able to start getting my house ready for Christmas in just a few minutes. It came with two Shark dirt grip microfiber washable pads that capture and lock in the dirt. I thought my floors were clean and then after I used the Shark Steam Mop for the first time. The microfiber pad was disgusting. What I love most about it, aside from it being small and light, is that I’m not worried about my kids around chemicals when I clean the floor. The Shark Steam Mop is a great gift idea for home entertainers because it makes cleaning a breeze. The Shark Steam Mop is available at online retailers for $79.99
Okay now that we have got the “keep your house clean for guests” gift out of the way, let’s talk about the gift guests, and hostesses can enjoy together!
When I wake up, or when I am entertaining, I love a good cup of coffee. While my current single-serve brewer has worked great, it wasn’t always the most convenient option when we had guests over. The Ninja Coffee Brewer is the perfect gift for those who love to entertain. The Ninja Coffee Brewer comes with Auto-iQ One-Touch Intelligence and Thermal Flavor Extraction Technology that unlocks the full-flavor of your coffee.
This coffee system comes with three flavor “levels”: Classic (for a smooth brew), Rich (for a bit more bold brew) and Over Ice (the boldest brew). We have only used the classic hot brew, and over-as it is bold enough (we even had to go one scoop less than the suggested serving as it was too strong) and the over-ice brew was great when wanting to make iced coffee at home. The Auto-iQ One-Touch Intelligence adjusts the brew cycle based on the brew size and type you select, so it’s always the perfect strength.
The coffee system also has four sizes to choose from: cup, travel mug, half carafe, and full carafe. So, whether you are just enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning or with a group of friends you can make just the right amount. While I do love that this system offers the cup and travel cup sizes, I find myself reverting to my original single-serve pot for those sizes because you do have to use a coffee filter and I would rather save those for half/full carafe brews. The 43 oz. glass carafe allows me to entertain several guests and if we happen to run out, they brew cycle is fast enough that I can brew multiple pots through the day/night and guests won’t have to wait very long.
The Ninja Coffee Brewer has been a great addition to our kitchen and will make an excellent gift for the entertainer or for those who love to enjoy good coffee. You can pick up the Ninja Coffee Brewer at different retailers nationwide, at an MSRP of $139.99.
So, when you are looking for the perfect gifts for the one who loves to entertain at home, be sure to check out the Ninja Coffee Brewer and the Shark Steam Mop. Both make great gifts. One is a bit more functional (for cleaning) while one is a bit more for enjoyment. I say just give both!
