The holidays are fast approaching and perhaps you have a friend or loved one that just completed (or will soon) the purchase of a new home. Free ride to presentville, party of one!
Housewarming gifts never get old, and with some patience, you can pick the exact gift that will leave them speachless with appreciation and thankful for your thoughts - that is, withOUT regifting. Here are some ideas to get you started, with some traditional and some new and funky.
Gifts for the kitchen can never be wrong. And this personalized cutting board, engraved with the date of marriage or purchase of the home, is ideal for the chef. With a chevron design that is classic and appealing, this would look great new or with age in a kitchen. $45.00 Here.
Forget the typical serving dish or occasional piece. For the unique and fun at heart, gift this cool unzipped glass bag dish! It's affordable for the gifter on the budget, and a real conversation starter. $16.25 Here.
Timeless and ever appreciated is the tool set for the first timers. This ensemble, with plenty of other options to choose from, includes some of the most popular tools a new homeowner would need. Eliminate the need for a handyman and enable your pal. $79.77 Here.
And for a classy and modern edge on other gifts, consider this floating gallery frame. People love frames, and this gives them so many options! Kids, friends, artwork, vintage works, whatever! Let them curate their new pad! $40-60.00 Here.
Side note, never, never, never give knives. They're considered bad luck. Conversely, bread and salt are considered good luck in wishing the occupants never go hungry and the pantry will always be full.
Other ideas might be fresh plants like bamboo for good luck, or seeds to represent new beginnings. A tasteful wreath for the front door might be nice. A bottle of wine to commemorate the year of their purchase and age with their lives therein, or a nice gift basket of munchies for their first few nights. I've gifted many new construction clients with essentials including a starter log, toilet paper, lighter, paper plates and plastic cutlery to make their first night a little more comfortable.
What's your go to housewarming gift for new homeowners?
