It is that time of year again when we start thinking about holiday gift-giving. Do you know someone building a tiny home, van conversion, or skoolie? Trying to figure out what to get them that is both practical and exciting. Today we are going to be talking about the top 3 practical gifts for tiny home owners. With various price points, these three items are perfect for anyone who wants the comforts of a traditional house while living the tiny lifestyle. Let’s jump into the list!
Gift Type 1 for Tiny Home Owners
If you are looking to give the comfort of a cozy warm house this is the perfect gift for you. One of the things that are often overlooked when planning a tiny house is a heat source. If your tiny house lover plans to spend any time in a cooler climate then this is the perfect gift for them. Diesel heaters are very easy to use as well as they run off 12 or 24 volts which almost every tiny house I have ever seen has access to. So what is the diesel heater you ask? A diesel heater is an automated heating system that uses diesel fuel to run a burner and then has a blower to blow the hot air into the living space. Usually, they can be found pretty inexpensively online and they’re easy to set up in a matter of an hour or two with just some basic tools. Check out some of our favorite diesel heaters below.
Gift Type 2 for Tiny Home Owners
For gift number two we’re going to shed some light on this one. Lighting is one of the most important things when considering a new tiny house build or upgrades to an existing one. Since energy is normally limited LEDs are really your best choice for lighting. We’ve got some various options to choose from but our personal favorite is the 12 V puck lights which recess into your ceiling and give a really nice finished look. In addition to the puck lights LED strips are often a popular choice otherwise if you’re looking for that more traditional look going with a standard lightbulb is still possible. Below you’ll find three different options for lighting that would make perfect gifts for tiny home owners.
Gift Type 3 for Tiny Home Owners
Gift number three for tiny homeowners may throw you for a loop. One thing that a lot of people don’t consider when looking into gifts for tiny house owners is the fact that their house moves most of the time. And when driving down the road things have a tendency to shift or open and fall and break. So these items are perfect for all of those issues with a movable house. One of the most popular things to get would be a drawer latch for any cabinet doors or bungee cords also work great for other items that may not have a perfect place. When in doubt storage bins were great to keep things organized and prevent them from sliding around while driving. Check out our favorite accessories to keep things in place while driving.
