Housewarming Gift Ideas

You don’t want to give them something they’ll want to toss or push deep into the closet or make them feel obligated to keep. Get the ball rolling for present inspiration by checking out our brainstormed housewarming gift ideas!
- A lovely picture frame. This is a terrific housewarming gift idea because it gives the homeowner(s) the ability to choose what to put in the frame, and it’s a new sentimental piece for their house. Pro tip: Pick out a frame that is easily matchable and not too specific. This way, it can fit anywhere in the house!
- New Homeowner Coupon Book. We know what you may be thinking. A coupon book, what is this Kindergarten? Well, don’t knock it quite yet; you can create an adorable and very useful coupon book using a free site such as Canva and make coupons for acts of service you can provide the new homeowners. Examples: Extra hand for painting, raking the leaves/mowing the lawn, moving day helping hand.
- A gift card. Of course, this may seem like a boring option, but truthfully it may just be the person/couple’s favorite gift! There are lots of new items to buy with a new home, so having some extra cash goes a long way!
- Monogrammed coasters/welcome mat. Two things that can be easily forgotten to pick up but come in quite handy day to day. Plus, every time the new homeowners use it, they’ll think of you!
- Paint a picture. Is there a bit of an artist living inside of you? Paint a picture for the new homeowners to put up in their house! How incredibly special would it be to paint a picture of their home or of the person/couple themselves; a gift truly straight from the heart!
- Board game/puzzle. Perhaps a board game or puzzle isn’t the first thing you think of when coming up with housewarming gift ideas to accompany housewarming wishes. But getting a fun game or beautiful puzzle can spark a whole lot of fun during an exciting but, at times, a stressful milestone in the new homeowner’s life.
- Movie night basket. This is a super cute and fun idea, especially for a couple who just moved into a new home together. Purchase a movie or get a gift card for their local movie theatre, buy their favorite snacks, and BAM! You just gave them a stress-free date night!
- Write a poem. Freeverse or rhyming, a poem that expresses the new things that are yet to come, can really pull on the heartstrings. And better yet, you can frame your poem, and it can double as a decoration!
