Housewarming gifts can be a difficult item to pick. What’s a fun present that will still be useful? Would your new-homeowner friend already have the item? Does this gift suit their home decor? Here are some versatile housewarming gifts that are sure to be a hit!
Coffee, Tea or Cakes
If you’re really unsure about the host’s taste in decor and what will suit their home, food items are a foolproof gift. Pick up a nice box of ready-to-brew coffee bags like these ones from Bacha Coffee, or if they have a Nespresso machine you can get Nespresso pods like these ones from Hook Coffee!
For non-coffee drinkers, a nice box or tin of tea from reputable brands like TWG or T2 Tea work brilliantly too.
If you want to add something more, you can pick up a box of cakes so the host can show off their new plates and cutlery! Cupcakes, cheesecakes or any sweet treats are sure to do the trick.
Aesthetic Mugs
What I’ve realised over the years is that most homes pick up mugs here and there, usually as free gifts-with-purchases. As a result, the cups used at home are usually freebies emblazoned with random brand names and don’t match each other!
If you know your host would appreciate some matching mugs as gifts, check out aesthetic homeware brands like Crate and Barrel and Marks & Spencer!
Plants
Every house can do with a pop of nature. Pick up some gorgeous indoor plants from nurseries like Noah Garden Centre or The Garden Store, and don’t forget to choose a pretty pot to go with it!
Candles
Candles are a pretty classic housewarming gift. You can go for mainstay brands like Yankee Candle or local brands like Breathe Essentials Co. and Pass It On!
Home Decor
This one’s a little tricky, but if you’re close to the host and know what their style and new home looks like, you could pick up some decor pieces for them! You can check out large home decor shops like HipVan and FortyTwo, which are sure to have something for every furniture style.
Large Tote Bags
Most people don’t have use for huge tote bags—until you have your own home and find yourself constantly running errands or buying groceries. Get some simple but hardy large tote bags from brands like Muji, which can be used for almost everything!
Now that you’re armed with a few housewarming gift ideas, you can breathe easy whenever you have to visit a new home! There’s a gift for everyone, and this list is sure to cover the best possibilities.
