Bedroom Gifts: 7 Handmade Ideas for Better Nights

Cozy bedroom with a bed, closet, and soft lighting

A bedroom gets used every night but rarely gets new things. These seven picks cover the bed itself, with linen pillowcases and a cotton throw; the nightstand, with a glass carafe, a silent alarm clock and a floating shelf; and the slow parts of the day, with a silk sleep mask and a breakfast tray. Several need a size or color chosen when you order.

100% Linen Pillowcases, Set of 2, Stone Washed White

1 A Pair of Stonewashed Linen Pillowcases

A set of two 100% linen pillowcases, stonewashed and in white, with an envelope closure. US sizes are Standard (50 by 65 cm), Queen (50 by 75 cm) and King (50 by 90 cm); EU sizes are offered too.

Best for:

Someone who runs warm at night or simply likes the feel of washed linen.

Why choose this:

Pillowcases are the easiest way to try linen bedding, and they change how the whole bed looks.

Good to know:

The pair comes in white only. Check the size of their pillows before choosing, because returns aren't accepted. It ships from Lithuania, so import fees are possible.

2 A Blown-Glass Bedside Carafe Set

A one-liter blown-glass water carafe, about 30 cm tall, with a matching glass (9 by 8 cm) that sits over the neck as a lid. It comes in gray, olive green, white or purple.

Best for:

Someone who keeps a glass of water by the bed and refills it at night.

Why choose this:

A covered carafe keeps water within reach and looks far better on a nightstand than a plastic bottle.

Good to know:

The set is the carafe and one glass. The shop says it's dishwasher safe but recommends washing by hand. It ships from Canada, and returns aren't accepted.

100% Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask, Ombre, 22 Momme

3 A Hand-Dyed Silk Sleep Mask

A 22 momme mulberry silk sleep mask, hand-dyed in an ombre. The eye panel is about 8 by 3.5 inches on an elastic strap of about 11 to 12 inches, in four color pairs or a custom color.

Best for:

Someone who sleeps in late, naps in the afternoon or shares a room with an early riser.

4 A White Oak Floating Nightstand

A solid white oak floating nightstand finished with tung oil. It comes in five sizes, from 12 by 10 by 6 inches up to 24 by 14 by 7 inches, and includes a French cleat and installation instructions.

Best for:

Someone in a small bedroom with no room for a nightstand on legs.

Why choose this:

A wall-mounted shelf by the bed gives them a place for a book, glasses and a phone without taking floor space.

Good to know:

Choose the size to fit beside the bed. It has to be mounted on the wall; the cleat comes with it, but screws and anchors aren't mentioned, so plan on fixings that suit the wall. Returns are accepted within 14 days.
