8 amazing gifts for people in tiny apartments
People who live well in small spaces have everything set up just right.
But it's difficult to find the right lamp for that corner, that table, that desk.
That's why the Giàcolu lamp from Italian designer Giampaolo Allocco is so genius. Like an erector set, your apartment dweller can fasten (and refasten) the lamp together themselves, ensuring the perfect fit.
Inquire at Lights of Venice to get it for $560.
With Windowfarms, studio apartments finally have room for green thumbs.
As the name implies, Windowfarms is a hydroponic system where four vertically hanging pots host arugala, basil, or other greens. A monthly subscription service keeps the freshness coming — with no counter space needed.
It's $179.95 for the entry-level starter kit.
Interior design ninjas know it's about much value out of vertical space as possible.
So instead of hanging up towels — or tomorrows — in the closet or over a chair, the small but mighty GRUNDTAL towel holder from Ikea gives that special someone an assist.
It's a product they can hang their hat on. Literally.
Grab it for a mere $14.99.
The vertical space storage battle applies to the bathroom, too.
And the Shower Squid is the greatest ally.
Apartment-dwellers can slip that shampoo, shaving cream, and whatever else they bathe with into its trusting tentacles, and they'll no longer be bending over backwards to get clean.
It's $36 on Uncommon Goods.
When a product is beloved by hipsters and corporate squares equally, you know you're onto something.
Such is the case with the Brompton Folding Bicycle — a vehicle that folds to about 2 feet tall, two feet long, and less than a foot wide for storage.
Until the "car in a bag" becomes a reality, it's the most portable (and stowable!) mode of transit available.
Freedom costs about $1200.
No matter how dutiful anybody is about a space, it's going to smell bad sometimes. Just ask your nearest bathroom or radiator.
Thus the brilliance of the funky-rustic 60-hour beeswax candle. The candle can keep an apartment lit for days (if desired), and it'll combat olfactory embarrassments all the while.
Cop it for $30.
The thing about vacuums is that while they purport to clean a space, they are often the embodiments of clutter — all nozzles, bags, and assorted paraphernalia.
Enter the Hoover Air Cordless. It's everything you love about a vacuum or a Dust Buster in a single, powerful, and cordless single product. Not only is it easy to make room for, but it will clean the hell out of their room.
It's worth the $149.95.
Counter space is a primary small kitchen conundrum.
So get the tiny space dweller in your life a cutting board for the sink that, miraculously enough, they can wash all their vegetables in.
At $29.99, it's a steal.
