Buying a housewarming gift for someone who has just moved into their new home is often a lovely thing to do. It doesn’t matter whether it is their first home or they have moved up the property ladder a few times, it is still an amazing feeling to receive a gift for your new home. But often people can struggle with what to get? At our fabulous shop Make Their Day Flowers in Charlton Kings, Cheltenham, we have a whole range of beautiful gifts and cards to choose from and of course we do gorgeous flowers that you can order online, which are always a great present for anyone moving into a new home, especially if you include a vase. We know not everyone is in the Cheltenham area though, so here is a quick roundup of 10 housewarming gifts to give you some inspiration as well.
A bouquet of flowers
One of the best gifts for a housewarming is a bouquet of flowers. You could choose a lovely colourful bouquet or have a florist put together a bouquet including all of their favourite blooms. It can instantly brighten up a space and make it feel homely. This is especially nice if you combine it with a vase as often they are not unpacked yet and it will also give them a lasting memory to keep. And you don’t need to worry about the environmental impact if you choose us as we have a guide to buying flowers more ethically.
Potted plant
Another lovely idea would be a potted plant. This could be anything from a succulent to a flowering plant. You could choose some lovely options and ensure that the pot will match with their colour scheme or other things they have in their home. We have a great selection in the shop.
A candle
You can’t go wrong with a candle. It is one of those gifts that keeps on giving. Whether you have taken time to decide on the perfect scent, or have gone for a specific brand that is popular and loved by many, a candle can be a lovely housewarming gift. It can help to make a home feel cosy.
A subscription service
Getting some things sorted straight away can be hard, so buying a subscription service as a housewarming gift can be a great idea. Whether it is a Gousto or Hello Fresh recipe box for a week of meals or a pass for Now TV where they can watch some great shows or films, whatever you choose will be greatly appreciated.
Homeware vouchers
A new home often means that there is a need for new homeware, so buying vouchers for a homeware store could be a great option to consider. A good choice if you are unsure on what to physically buy.
An ornament for the home
If you know their taste or something they would like, buying an ornament for the new home could be a great housewarming gift. As we mentioned before, something like a vase would be a fantastic example, both useful and something to keep.
Photo frame
Most people like to display their favourite pictures, so a photo frame is a great choice for a housewarming gift. You could find a frame that matches their colour scheme or similar things they already have, or you could invest in a digital photo frame where they can display a slideshow of their favourite pictures.
A bottle of their favourite drink or some fizz
Sometimes the simple gifts are often the best, so why not get them a bottle of their favourite drink? Wine, gin, or even a bottle of fizz are all worthy housewarming gifts and are perfect for celebrating and toasting the next chapter of their lives.
A hamper
Maybe you want to make something a little more unique, so a hamper could be an ideal choice. You could add drinks, food items and other things like face masks and self care items. It could be a more thoughtful gift that will help them to relax and savour the moment. You can either order them online or make one up yourself.
Something personalised
Finally, something personalised will always go down a treat. Personalised wine glasses or other glassware, kitchen items or a personalised print they can display, there are some wonderfully talented. The more you start to think about it, the more you ideas you have for things that you can get engraved and personalised for this new phase of their lives.
Let’s hope this has given you plenty of inspiration when it comes buying a housewarming gift in the future.
