7 Housewarming Gift Ideas That’ll Make Your Hosts Happy

7 Housewarming Gift Ideas That’ll Make Your Hosts Happy

So, you’re going to a housewarming party? That’s great! It means a friend or family member has just found a new place to call home, and now it’s time for them to add those warming touches that come in the form of housewarming gifts.

As a housewarming party guest, your job is to source the perfect gift. This may seem like quite a mammoth undertaking, but it is surprisingly easy to choose a housewarming gift when you know what to look for.

If you really want to make an impression, we have gathered together a list of gifts that are bound to make your hosts smile.

7 Housewarming Gift Ideas That'll Make Your Hosts Happy

A Gourmet Wine Hamper

A gourmet wine hamper is the definition of celebration, making it perfect for a housewarming party. What better way to warm a new and cozy home than with a selection of the finest wines?
Your hosts may choose to enjoy their gourmet wine hamper on the night of the party or keep it for a more intimate moment.

Since you may not be sure of the color scheme or style of the home before you visit on the night of the party, a gourmet wine hamper is a safe gift option that’s sure to be appreciated.

Sophisticated Art

Nothing creates a feeling of sophistication more than viewing a novel work of art in a new home. Sticking to a more natural-looking painting works best if you are unsure about the home’s décor.

You may also want to avoid brightly colored art as it only works with certain kinds of décor. Consider asking the hosts to come along with you to choose the perfect painting for their home, and make the art-gazing afternoon a part of your gift.

Personalized Mugs

Everyone needs mugs in their home. You could have personalized mugs made with a comforting saying, giving the hosts a reason to think of you every morning when they sip their coffee or tea.

Wooden Coasters and Cutting Boards

Sleek wooden coasters add a touch of class to any home while doing the admirable job of protecting furniture. You can step this gift up a notch by getting your wooden coasters personalized.

Alternatively, opt for a wooden cutting board that is customized to include the hosts’ initials. This personal touch takes the gift from ordinary to extra-special.

A Casserole Dish

You want to give something that creates the idea of comfort, and nothing says comfort more than a home-cooked casserole. Take this gift to the next level by making a casserole and placing it in a casserole dish so that your gift is both thoughtful and practical.

An Aroma Diffuser or a Potted Plant

Nothing smells better in a new home than an aromatherapy diffuser. You can even inscribe a special message on the gift note with thoughtful words.

If you are not the scented candle type, get a pot plant. Getting a new home means a step-up in personal growth. So, why not celebrate the idea of growth with a cute little pot plant? A miniature pot plant that can be placed on a windowsill will provide aesthetic value and fresh air, making it a great housewarming gift idea.

Décor Store Gift Card

If you’re really stuck and do not know the hosts’ personal preferences, opt for a gift card. Make sure to fill the gift card up with a reasonable amount of funds. That way, the hosts can visit a décor store and pick out what they want themselves.

Choosing a housewarming gift isn’t the easiest task, but if you opt for something from the list above, you’re sure to impress.

Choosing A Corporate Gift Basket

I’ve been keeping journals for over 36+ years. I first started journaling when I was pregnant with my daughter as a way to someday share with her my feelings on pregnancy, birth and raising a child. I kept journaling through her entire childhood and when she got married several years ago I presented all of them to her. She treasures those journals and started journaling too!

Beautiful Journals Featuring Jim Shore's Artwork

Now that I don’t have children at home I’m still journaling. Matter of fact, I have two different journals that I write in. One is on day-to-day life and the second one is one that I take with me when we travel. I like to document the places we go, the things we see and people that we meet along the way. It’s always fun to look back on the years that have passed.

Recently I received several journals that feature Jim Shore’s beautiful artwork. I’ve been a Jim Shore fan for several years and own a few of his figurines that I have displayed in my home. I always received compliments on them and I highly recommend them.

Jim Shore’s new journals feature his beautiful artwork and come with 100 lined pages. These hardcover diaries feature a placeholder ribbon (bookmark), band closure and feature inspiring quotes. Example: America is another name for opportunity. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson.
