4 Tips on Picking The Perfect Housewarming Gift That People Actually Want

Amidst all the chaos that comes with packing and moving into a new home, there’s no denying that it’s a joyous and momentous occasion that deserves to be celebrated! Whether your friends have just bought a new home or have recently upgraded to a bigger house, you’d want to bring the perfect gift to congratulate them on this fresh new start in their lives. 

Unlike baby showers or weddings, housewarming parties do not come with a gift registry, which makes shopping for housewarming gifts challenging. As your friends are settling into their new humble abode, we’ve put together this simple guide on tips for choosing a housewarming gift your friends will absolutely love! 

Consider The Theme and Preferences

The key to finding a perfect housewarming gift is looking for something that plays to the interests of the new homeowners. If they are passionate about cooking and spend the majority of their time in the kitchen, a gift for the kitchen would definitely be in their favour! 

If you’re looking for a gift to add on to the design and decor of their new place, it would be important to consider their interior design theme.  While everyone welcomes a thoughtful gesture, you do not want to end up giving something that doesn’t jive well with their overall concept. 

When buying housewarming gifts, besides considering the colours and the style that would be most appropriate, it is also essential to find something that is useful, so that it is of value to the new homeowners! If you want to be absolutely sure on what the new homeowners might need, don’t hesitate to ask them for their input as well!

A Gift For Design & Decor 

A new space requires some special touches to make it feel like home and plants can be that perfect addition to spruce up the new home! Not only are plants pretty to look at, but they bring life and personality to a new home — adding to the overall ambience and aesthetics of the home decor. 

Help your friends liven up their home with our fresh Fern Houseplant! This gorgeous potted plant comes with a mixture of a variety of ferns for that dramatic contrast that’ll work well with any interior design theme from classy and modern to vintage and rustic. Ferns are also easy to maintain and can last long with occasional watering — perfect as a decorative indoor plant! 

If you’re looking for something more floral, orchids are stunning flowers that you can consider! We recommend giving your friends our Orchid Table Bouquet which features an eye-catching ensemble of 30 stalks of yellow and purple flowers, sure to add elegance to the new home! 

Find Something Practical 

For those who are moving into a new home for the first time, chances are that they’re also on the hunt for new furniture or appliances to fill up their space. Getting them functional gifts such as gifts for the kitchen will be something they’ll definitely appreciate! 

While your friends may have got the basic kitchen equipment down, why not surprise them with this 2-in-1 Steamboat Hot Pot? This stainless steel hot pot comes with a removable cooking pot which makes it easy to use, clean and store. If your friends are BBQ lovers, opt for this Desktop BBQ Grill instead! Once the new homeowners have settled into their homes, they will definitely look forward to cooking up scrumptious meals with these gifts! 

A Gift For Celebration

While wine is a popular housewarming gift, more wine is always a great thing! After the long process of packing, unpacking and organising, sharing a toast at the end of the day is a great way to create the first few memories in their new homes!
