Moving into a new place can be a major event in someone’s life. It’s a milestone that needs to be celebrated with close family and friends. This is why you should carefully consider the kind of gift you should bring if you have been invited to a housewarming party.
Offering a housewarming gift to a new neighbour or best friend who recently bought their first home is a sweet gesture that has been practised for centuries. Some cultures even have specific gift items that are considered traditional presents for those celebrating such a momentous event. Others even think of it as a way of displaying proper etiquette to make someone else’s new apartment or HDB feel cosier and homelier.
Check out these superb housewarming gift suggestions below.
1. Fresh flowers and plants
Nothing makes a home look and feel more welcoming than having natural plants and flowers. Flowers for the living room as housewarming gifts mean that you wish for the home and its occupants to grow and thrive.
Aside from grand opening flower stands, you can find an incredible selection of plants and flowers that can be the perfect souvenirs to congratulate someone on their new place here at Hilton Gifts. We have potted money plant, Pachira, Dracaena Marginata, Echeveria, Zamioculcas, and Phalaenopsis, among others.
2. Useful appliances
Home appliances, such as electric kettles, multi-cookers, juice extractors, blenders, food processors, rice cookers, air fryers, air pots, oven toasters, and barbecue grills are also great gifts to give, especially if the owner of the house is new to living independently and doesn’t have a lot of house items you. This means that these kinds of gifts can only be appropriate if you personally know the owner of the house.
3. Hampers that are filled with delicious goodies
You can find a wide array of gift hampers for any occasion. There are gift baskets filled with fine wines, chocolates, imported nuts, biscuits, cookies, and snacks. There are also hampers that are filled with things that promote wellness, including health supplements, essence tonics, fruits, ginseng, fruit juices, oatmeal, and even flowers.
4. Scented candles
Candles can bring warmth and light into a new home, making some people uncomfortable living in it for the first time. Besides, candles are a symbol of hospitality.
5. Essential oil diffusers
These nifty devices can indeed make a new home feel more inviting. They fill any space with beautiful scents, like eucalyptus and lavender, that makes it more relaxing and peaceful. Essential oils can also make people calmer and sleep better.
6. Himalayan salt lamps
These lamps make for beautiful décor pieces and conversation starters. Aside from that, they are believed to impart health benefits, including improving people’s mood and reducing allergy symptoms.
