A new home is such a special and important milestone in someone’s life, so you want to give them something they’ll really appreciate. Here are some of the best housewarming gift ideas out there!

• Plants

Not only are these plants beautiful and easy to care for, but they also symbolize the strength of your relationship. A friendship plant is the perfect way to show your loved ones that you will always be there for them, through thick and thin. And as an added bonus, the plants are known to bring good luck to those who keep them in their homes. It’s sure to be a cherished addition to their new home.

• Kitchenware

When it comes to gifts, few things are as universally useful as bakeware. Whether your friends are amateur bakers or simply love to whip up the occasional batch of cookies, a good set of baking pans, sheet trays, cake tins and other bakeware accessories will come in handy time and time again. And if you really want to make their lives easier, throw in a few  like an oven thermometer, a cooling rack, and a set of measuring cups and spoons. With these tools in their arsenal, your friends will be able to tackle any recipe that comes their way. 

• Décor accents

A new home is a blank canvas, and homeowners often want to put their own personal stamp on their living space. However, knowing where to start can be a daunting task. By choosing a few key pieces, homeowners can start to create a cohesive look that reflects their individual style. Picture frames are always a welcome addition, and they provide an opportunity to showcase cherished memories. Another popular option is wall art, which can add color and interest to any room. Lanterns and vases are also popular choices, and they can help to inject some personality into even the most understated décor.

• Gift card

A house is a huge investment, and any gift that can make that investment just a little bit easier is bound to be appreciated by any new homeowner. Gift cards are the perfect option for those who want to help out but aren’t sure what the new homeowners might need. That way, they can put it towards anything they need for their new home, whether it’s painting supplies or gardening tools. Whether it’s home improvement supplies, or even just a night out on the town, a gift card can go a long way towards making a new house feel like a home. And if you’re really stuck for ideas, you can always fall back on the old standby: a gift card to their favorite restaurant.  Whichever type of gift card you choose, the important thing is that you give the new homeowners something that they can really use.

• Appliances

While there are many nice options out there, one type of gift that is always appreciated by new homeowners is an appliance. This can be anything from a new coffee maker to a toaster. Appliances are a great way to help someone start their new life in their new home. They will certainly appreciate the thoughtfulness of your gift, and it will be something that they can use for years to come.
