Gifts for the Person With a New Apartment Who Has Boxes Everywhere and Is Already Attached to the Light in the Morning

A new apartment is a specific kind of beginning. There are boxes still unpacked, and a drawer that doesn't quite close right, and the particular pleasure of figuring out where things belong in a space that is entirely their own. The first weeks involve small discoveries: the way the light comes through the east window at seven in the morning, the neighbor who plays guitar on Thursday evenings, the corner of the couch that turns out to be the best place to read. They are making a home out of a space, which is a process that happens gradually and then suddenly feels complete. The gift for them is something that helps the space become theirs faster, or something that fills one of the small gaps that a new apartment always has, or just something that makes one part of their daily routine feel settled and right.
