Here at FN, we like the idea of having a home that's everchanging and full of character, reflecting the lives of the people who dwell in it. The changes don't have to be drastic or expensive, of course. In fact, small touches—like a quirky wall clock or a sweet-smelling candle—are just as effective in adding personality to the humble abode.

With that in mind, this Christmas, why not surprise your friends and family with simple yet special additions to their homes? We've gathered 65 items—from the inexpensive to the splurgeworthy, the chic to the colorful—that will no doubt complement a home sweet home. Happy shopping!
