If there’s a new homeowner in your life, it’s time to start thinking about buying them the perfect housewarming gift to celebrate their new place. But where to begin? If you’re struggling to find the perfect gift for someone’s housewarming, then here are a few ideas to help you get started.
Food-Related Gifts
Food is something that brings people together. And when the kitchen is the heart of a home, bringing food to your friend to celebrate their new place can be an excellent way to make it feel instantly cozy and warm. Some common food items that are gifted as housewarming presents include:
- Salt
- Fresh bread
- Wine
- Freshly baked goods
- Customized treats
- Fruit baskets
While these are some of the more traditional items you can gift for a housewarming event, it’s never a bad idea to go off-script, either. In fact, luxurious gifts like chocolate, which we can thank the Aztecs for, are excellent for helping the new homeowner in your life feel truly pampered in their new space. And your food-related gifts don’t have to be food, either. If you know someone loves to cook and they need some new equipment for their kitchen, some new tools could be an excellent gift idea. New cookware or baking equipment might be exactly what they needed to complete their new kitchen, after all. And if you know they love to host dinner parties, then maybe some dining room decor would be the perfect gift.
Decorative Gifts
Decorative gifts are another excellent way to help the new homeowner in your life get settled in their new space. If they’re looking for pieces to help dress up their walls, maybe something like an art print or a statement piece to hang up would be a great gift. Macrame wall hangings are also incredibly popular right now, so that could be an excellent decorative gift. If you’re looking to add more “homey” touches, a decorative doormat or some beautiful fresh flowers could make excellent gifts. and since 60% of flowers are purchased for the person buying them, buy some for your home too! The key is to find a decorative gift that matches your friend’s personality and brings out the beauty in their home. If you know your friend has a dark and moody style, maybe a crystal lamp or statement piece could be the perfect fit for them. If they love a cottage-style look for their home, perhaps fresh flowers, a woven blanket basket, or some cute handmade planters could be an excellent addition to their decor.
Yard-Related Gifts
Does the new homeowner in your life love to garden and landscape? If so, then a yard-related gift might be an excellent option for you to consider. Even for people who don’t typically spend their free time doing gardening work, high-quality lawn equipment is going to help them get important maintenance tasks done as the weather changes. Tools like a good shovel, a high-quality garden hose, a rake, or even some beginner’s gardening tools can be a huge help. And if you’re dealing with a garden aficionado, specialized tools for vegetable gardening or a gift card to their favorite nursery would be an excellent gift to help them get started on making this new yard totally their own.
When almost 79% of millennials are drawn to residential real estate investments, there’s a good chance that you’ll have a new homeowner in your life sooner than you think. If you’re stuck for gift ideas, consider one of these categories for a housewarming hit.
