When you get invited to a housewarming, one of the first things you should do is buy a gift. After all, you can’t turn up to the party and not take anything with you for their new home. Here is an essential guide to housewarming gifts.
A gift for the kitchen
One of the top things you should buy as a housewarming gift is something for the kitchen. There is so much you can get for someone’s kitchen, so the options are endless. A popular housewarming gift tends to be a set of plates they can use when they are entertaining guests. And a lovely set of knives and forks will go down well with the new homeowners. Or a lot of people buy people a timer or a salt and pepper holder for them to use in their kitchen. If you want to buy something bigger such as a kettle or a toaster, you will need to check if they have got one already!
A photo of the family
A lovely housewarming gift you can get is a picture of the whole family for them to hang up in their hallway. It’s something personal which will show people whose home it is. Have a look on their social media for photos of the family you could print off. Then you can find a lovely frame to put it in. You should check the color of their new hall before you buy this, though.
Something personalized
If you want something unique as a housewarming gift, something personalized will go down well. As we talked about previously, you could get them something with their names on to hang up in their home. Something personalized always goes down well, as they are unlikely to get two of the same thing!
A gift for the bedroom
If you want a great gift to take with you to the housewarming, you should consider getting them something for the bedroom. Pillows always go down well as they are unlikely to be able to afford new ones as they are busy paying for their new home! You could buy them a lovely new bed cover if you know the color of their new room. Here are some further housewarming gift ideas they might love for their new home.
Something for the garden
Another essential gift you could buy them is something for their new garden. You could buy them some seeds which they could plant in the backyard. Or get them some lovely flower pots which they can use for their new plants. Any garden equipment would go down well with the new homeowners as well.
Something handmade
You don’t have to buy them something expensive for a housewarming gift. If you’re strapped for cash, you could make them something handmade to put in their new home. It’s something unique that they definitely won’t have two of! You could always create them a little trinket for them to keep to celebrate buying the home. Or you could even bake them something to enjoy later.
Remember to check where the new home is before you head there for the party. And take some sweets for the kids to enjoy as a housewarming gift!
