Unique Housewarming Gift Ideas to Wow Your Hosts
They say that it requires time for a house to gain its “soul” and become a true home. It is the people that live in that house, as well as their family, friends, and all dear visitors who give a touch of warmth and create the necessary and lovely homey atmosphere. In addition, things such as an old, but beloved mug, a favorite piece of art and gifts from dear friends, all help create a real home. So, if someone close to you just moved into a new house, we bring you a few housewarming gift ideas that your hosts will fall in love with.
Cozy throw blanket(s)
You can never have too many throw blankets. Whether they serve purely for decorative purposes or if you use them to snuggle up on the sofa while watching a new episode of a favorite TV show, it is for a fact that every house needs one or a couple of pretty throw blankets. You can opt to gift a luxurious knit blanket, a fun quilted one or another one of your choice but what is for sure is that your hosts will love it. The trick to making this gift unique is to weave the names of your friends onto the blanket.
A fun piece of artwork
Every house needs artwork pieces that not only enrich the interior design, but also describe the owners in a way, as they tell about their artistic taste and personality. Of course, the pieces gifted by friends are the ones that have the biggest sentimental value. Even if you don’t have the time to visit different galleries, you can search and find amazing artwork online and purchase those pieces that make you instantly think of your friends.
Personalized planter box
If your hosts love to have plants and flowers, you can surprise them with a personalized flower box that has a charming house plant inside it. You could even go for a few smaller planter boxes filled with various herbs that can be used for instance, in the kitchen for cooking. You can decorate the planter box with either the initials of the owner(s) or with the date on which they have moved into their new home. This well-thought gift is guaranteed to wow your hosts.
DIY embellished wooden tray
Another staple piece in any home, only this time decorated with a couple of paints and a brush. Choose an interesting pattern and have fun while painting a blank wooden slate. You can even be bold and use different beads and glitter to add that extra touch of uniqueness to the tray, but only if you know that the host will appreciate this kind of décor.
Useful tools basket
The fact is that one of the last things we think of when moving into a new house is to go and get all those hardware essentials we will eventually need. Therefore, be a good friend and a kind guest and present your host with a necessary home toolset. To make this convenient gift look more presentable, put the set in a lovely wooden basket and don’t forget to add in a nice bottle of wine.
Personalized coffee table book
There isn’t an interior décor that is complete without at least one chic coffee table book. What is more, even though everyone loves a luxurious, designer coffee table book, it is for sure that a personalized one will be even more appreciated, as it has greater sentimental value. You can collect some of your favorite photos of you and your host friend and make a unique coffee table book by simply attaching the photos in a stylish photo album. Your friend will undoubtedly be thrilled about this lovely and special gift.
Cute DIY tea towels
If you are a person who is good at arts and crafts, then this will be your dream gift idea, as you can have a lot of fun making the gift. Chose a good-quality material, such as linen and make sure to have a sewing machine, an iron, and a few other necessities, and start your DIY tea towel project. Moreover, if you feel especially inspired, you can use carved potatoes and apples to hand stamp the towels with vibrant colors. An inexpensive and truly exceptional gift that your hosts will love to use in their kitchen.
Lastly, consider all of these gift ideas and opt for the ones that you believe your host(s) will prefer the most.
