If a friend or a loved one has just secured their dream home, you might be wondering what you can do to celebrate their news and help them settle into their new forever home. Apart from offering to help them with the move (which we are sure they will truly appreciate!) here are our top 4 housewarming gift ideas.
Something Custom-Made
If you want your gift to have pride of place in the recipients new home, you can’t go wrong with a gift that is personalised in some way and the extra thought that goes into something custom-made will be cherished! Nearly anything you can think of can be personalised now including picture frames, art prints, kitchenware and even doormats.
A Houseplant
A plant is a wonderful gift for a new home owner and will thrive and grow alongside the house and its occupants. There are so many beautiful house plants to choose from but if the person the gift is for is not particularly green fingered, then go with a plant which needs the minimum of fuss and care. Succulent plants and cactus plants are a safe bet and require very little water or attention.
Traditional
If you want to go the warm and traditional route with your gift, then food or wine is a good choice. Traditionally, bread was given as a housewarming gift that meant the house would never go hungry and salt and pepper shakers traditionally offer blessings in a new home. You could personalise these items by wrapping them in a lovely new tea towel or buying artisan bread. If you can bake, making the bread yourself is also a thoughtful way to stay traditional.
Practical
Sometimes new home owners have upsized from a previous home, or just bought their very first home after living with family and all they need is a gift full of love and practicality. In this instance it’s a good idea to ask them what they actually need to avoid duplicate gifts. If the new home owner is a family member, perhaps you could club together with other family members to buy a larger appliance for the new house?
