Housewarming gifts can be somewhat tricky because you have to really know your audience. If you’re feeling depleted with no ideas really presenting themselves to you, then this article may come your way – serendipitously. No more wading through thick mud and losing your spirit in the process; this guide is thoughtfully written with only the best interests at heart.
Our own opinion is that something homemade in the form of a pie, dessert or pudding can be warm and welcoming (but we need to know where the community stands on this one?), as it may not be too common in these parts of the world. If you’re trying to welcome a new neighbour, then opt for safe recipes with ingredients that don’t cause allergies. Better yet, print out the ingredient list and recipe when presenting.
Books are very subjective gifts, but a coffee table book on the subject of the receiver’s likes could make for a thoughtful gift. We also advocate for a leather-bound or vintage copy of the recipient’s favourite book, as it can serve as both a book and a lovely interior piece.
Gift vouchers can be intelligent without being cold if you accompany them with a beautifully written card. In housewarming gift standards, you really cannot go wrong with a home-store gift voucher, especially if the recipient is hyper-specific in their style and expression.
To no one’s surprise, we are recommending candles. Candles immediately bring a sense of calm and tranquillity into a space, and what more can you want when moving into a new home? Again, know your audience and their personal tastes. Why not add in a candle warmer for further self-care elevation?
If the recipient is not opposed to a diverse range of gifts (or perspectives), then a good old puzzle or board game would surely do the trick. A 2000-piece puzzle may not be rational, but hey, human behaviour is generally not. They may be delighted, they may be enraged, but they will not be bored! Who knows, it could be so surprisingly cathartic as well.
Saving the best for last, flowers are the universal non-negotiable as a main or supplementary gift. You can go in the direction of fresh blooms or everlasting succulents. Or set the bar higher with a flower subscription, literally life-altering and metaphorically the gift that keeps on giving.Â
With a little assistance from Parfumella flowers, you can make this happen. We have a treasure trove of experience and a gold mine of products and services to choose from.
