If a friend or family member buys a home, you will want to make a great impression for that first time you cross their threshold. When someone nestles into a new space, it’s proper to grant them with a housewarming gift. If you’re having problems thinking of a great gift, don’t fret. Here are a number of great gifts for a happy housewarming.
Nesting Bowls
Whether it’s for mixing ingredients, eating cereal, or holding a snack for guests, the new homeowners can use a set of nesting bowls of different sizes and colors. Fitting neatly into one another, nesting bowls are a tidy and nifty gift idea.
Table Tennis Set
What’s a visit without a friendly game between friends and family members? Rather than board or card games, bring over their new table tennis set, which transforms any table into the sight of a heated match. The soft, plastic balls won’t threaten the integrity of their table surface. Just make sure not to bang down the paddles after a defeat!
Marble Platter
Whether they want to cut fruits and veggies or serve cheese and crackers, a marble platter will do nicely. Make sure it is large enough to double as a cutting or serving board. Furthermore, some manufacturers make them of slate, so servers can write what kinds of cheeses, etc. are being offered. It’s a nice touch and a great housewarming gift.
Set of Beer Glasses
A new home is deserved of a toast amongst friends and family members. However, if they’ve never had a home before, they may not of thought to purchase a set of beer glasses. It’s a good thing you were thoughtful enough to supply the demand. Each time they drink one to the bottom they’ll be reminded of your thoughtfulness.
Ice Cream/Frozen Yogurt Maker
People strive to eat healthy but most people don’t have to try too hard to enjoy a tasty dessert. Whether they prefer ice cream or frozen yogurt, the homeowner will have a choice after you give them a new dessert maker.
Cast Iron Fondue Set
There are very few questions that sound better than, “Would you like cheese or chocolate?” Let the homeowner indulge their tastebuds with their new cast iron fondue set. Even if they are not skilled or avid cooks, they will love the thought of preparing meats, cheeses, or chocolates.
Scented Candles
They will be used to the smell of boxes, but once they’re all settled, the homeowners will need to fill their new home with fresh scents. Choose a variety of scented candles to make their house smell of vanilla, sandalwood, raspberries, etc. Candles make for a chic and practical gift. They may have needed home items but you can never have enough wonderful scents to fill the home.
Utensil Crock
Some people cram utensils in any available drawer, which makes it confusing the next time you need a particular item. After you give them their new utensil crock, they can keep all of their items in one easy-to-find location.
Doormat
It’s often overlooked by those who come to a new home and place most of their energy toward the interior. However, once newcomers start coming in and tracking dirt through the house, they’ll wish they remembered to buy a durable and well textured doormat. Save the day and the new rugs by bringing over a much needed doormat.
Home Tool Kit
They may have a larger toolbox for the car and DIY home projects, but a mini tool kit includes essentials like a flashlight, bottle opener, tape measure, and small pliers. A tool kit is one of those presents that seem unneeded at first but are largely appreciated when the time comes…and it will!
Personalized Ornaments
Eventually, it will be holiday season and they’ll be breaking out ornaments, or will need to buy new ones. Why not present them with personalized ornaments? They’ll never forget your great gift idea each time they peer at their personalized and unique present.
Griddle
All that moving is likely to have made the new homeowners pretty hungry. With their new griddle they can make paninis, grilled cheese, and quesadillas. It’s a great tool to use when you don’t feel like cooking a large meal, want to make a quick snack, or prepare some eats for visitors.
Vase
When the dust settles, they’ll want to grace the home with some eye candy such as fresh flowers. Be sure they have something to put them in, buying them an ornate vase.
Centerpiece Bowl
They have a new coffee and kitchen table yet it will look bare without some sort of centerpiece. Buy them a unique bowl to place on top, whether they decide to place remote controls, candy, or magazines in it.
