Do you know a friend or family member who is moving into a new place soon? Avoid the overused housewarming present ideas and get them something they’ll actually use. Keep reading to find some unique and useful housewarming gift ideas to spark your gift-giving inspiration.
Utensils
Do your recently moved family or friends love to entertain? Get them something that they’ll actually use and enjoy in the form of kitchen utensils. Choose anything from engraved wine glasses to a new cutting board—and everything in between. These items often get lost in the mix when we move, which makes restocking them a pain. By providing a utensil they’ll use every day, you’re saving them an extra trip to the general store.
A Decorative Mirror
Wall art and decorative pieces are extremely hard to preserve during a move, so many people may leave them behind. Your new homeowners will have all this empty wall space and nothing to fill it with. This is where the perfect decorative gift comes in. Decorating with mirrors is a trendy way to add an accent to any space, and they even help a room appear larger. You can find decorative mirrors in almost any home store. And if you’re feeling artsy and want to add a personal touch to the gift, try thrifting a secondhand mirror and refurbishing it.
Personalized Items
If you want to add a heartfelt touch to your housewarming gift, order a personalized item. You can find vendors online to personalize anything from doormats to pillows. You could even commission a custom house portrait of their new or old home. For an even more personal touch, try DIYing your own gifts, such as embroidering a pillowcase. Your friends or family will cherish these gifts that come from the heart for years to come.
When it comes to choosing a housewarming gift for your friend or family member, don’t play it safe with the same, old gift options. You can’t go wrong with one of these unique and useful housewarming gift ideas that they will use for years to come.
