20 ideas from the floor display area of The Essentials. Nothing is sold here — pick anything up and it opens a pre-filled search at the retailer.
The floor display is the middle of the room — the pieces that are too big, too odd or too good to put on a shelf, and the ones people stop at first.
A model trainset, which is a gift for a child and, honestly, for the adult setting it up. A woven gift basket for building your own hamper when nothing off the shelf fits. A wine bottle and tag for arriving somewhere. A French press and a mug and coffee set, which together make the closest thing to a complete gift in the shop: something to make, something to drink it from, and a reason to sit down.
Pick any of them to open a search.

Model trainset
A gift for a child and, in practice, for whoever ends up assembling it. It is the kind of present that takes over a floor for an afternoon, which is either the appeal or the problem depending on the household. Worth checking there is somewhere to leave it set up.
Woven gift basket
For building your own hamper when nothing pre-made fits the person. The basket is reusable long after the contents are gone, which is what separates it from a cardboard box of the same things. Pair it with anything from the gourmet bay.
Wine bottle & tag
The arriving gift. A tag turns a bottle from a contribution into a present, and it takes about a minute. It suits dinners, housewarmings and anywhere you do not want to turn up empty-handed. Bring something non-alcoholic if you are not sure.
French press
For someone who drinks a lot of coffee and owns nothing to make it with, or who wants to move on from instant without buying a machine. It needs no filters and no power, which makes it good for small kitchens and for taking away. Pair it with the sampler.
Mug & coffee set
The closest thing to a complete gift in the shop: something to make, something to drink it out of, and a reason to sit down for ten minutes. It suits a new home, a new job or anyone who has just moved somewhere their things have not caught up with yet.
