That special person who lives in a small apartment or studio is one of the hardest to shop for during the holidays. When space is limited or  tiny living is a way of life, you have to be thoughtful of what you’ll bring into a smaller space.

If a gift doesn’t serve multiple purposes or isn’t small in scale, it might not be the right choice. Luckily, great things come in small packages! Here’s our tiny living gift guide filled with great small apartment gifts in stores now.

IKEA introduced its own pegboard system, SKÅDIS, two years ago and I’d say it’s one of the best systems IKEA launched in recent years. I love how super customisable it is, with a growing range of accessories that help keep things organized. It works everywhere, in your wardrobe to bathroom . Probably anywhere you have a flat surface to hang it up.

Additional safety features Safety rail panel for the lower KURA bed helps our two year old feel secure, as he just transitioned from a crib directly to this bunk. Likewise metal handles on the ladder. They added a lot of confidence for both the five-year-old and the two-year-old when climbing up to the top bunk. We are aware that the bunk is now even higher than before and both children are under 6. Use caution and common sense before making these modifi...
