When someone moves into a new home, you want to give them something that feels personal—but not so personal that it ends up in a drawer. The best housewarming gift is something that can be used right away and fits into most homes. Here are 7 suggestions that always work.
1. A vase
You can never have too many vases—especially when you’ve just moved in and are getting flowers from everyone. A colorful ceramic vase with a fun design stands out from the standard white vases and serves as a decoration, even without flowers. See our full selection of vases.
2. Candleholders
Candles are the first thing you light in a new home to set the mood. A pair of colored candle holders is a gift that will be used that very evening. Consider choosing two in different heights so the recipient can pair them together.
3. A set of cups
The first cup of coffee in the new home is a milestone. A pair of elegant ceramic cups —preferably hand-painted and a little unique—is a gift that will be used daily and will remind them of you every morning.
4. A pitcher
A pitcher is one of those things people rarely buy for themselves, but love to receive. It can be used for water on the table, juice at brunch, or simply as a vase. Choose one with character— Italian ceramic or a pitcher with an animal motif from Quail.
5. A doormat
Practical, surprising, and always relevant. A fun doormat with a great design is the first thing you see at the new front door—and it sends a signal about who lives here.
6. Coat hooks
In a new home, there’s always a shortage of places to hang things. A set of decorative hooks —such as animal-shaped ones in brass—are both useful and attractive. They can be used in the entryway, bathroom, or bedroom from day one.
7. A platter or a bowl
A beautiful platter or bowl is a gift that serves every purpose: fruit on the kitchen counter, snacks for guests, keys in the entryway. Choose something in colorful ceramic so it becomes a decorative piece in its own right.
