These Thoughtful Housewarming Gifts Are Definitely Getting You Invited Back
There's nothing more exciting than becoming a homeowner and hosting that very first housewarming party. Once the painful moving process is over and you've had some time to settle in and unpack (most) of those packing boxes, a housewarming party is one of the best ways to show off your new place. Whether your celebrating your dad's move into a new apartment, or attending a housewarming party for your sister's first home or your bestie that has finally moved up and out of that starter home, bringing the perfect housewarming gift to celebrate their big move is super important.
But there are soooo many housewarming gifts to consider. And while a bottle of wine seems like a solid choice, it's also kind of a cliché. Gifting them something they'll really use in their new space will make your gift a hit. Do they love to spend time in the kitchen, whipping up homemade dinners or making homemade guac? Get them a solid cutting board or a molcajete. Do they plant to fill their new place with house plants and artsy decor? Maybe they'll love some succulents or unique wall art.
So don't stress! We've done the research for you and found gifts that will meet any budget. From cheese boards and customized coasters to candles and windchimes, these are the 35 best housewarming gifts of 2021.
