Buying a house or moving into a rental is a really big life event that can have a lot of stress surrounding it. It’s also a really big accomplishment. It can sometimes be months if not longer before you feel settled enough to have people over. But even before they’re ready for guests, I think a housewarming gift is a really nice way to acknowledge to a loved one that you did this really big thing, and I’m so happy for you. It’s a way to celebrate with someone without them feeling the need to have you over at the moment.

Faux Boxwood Topiaries | Urn Planters | Monogrammed Door Mat

When it comes to my go-to housewarming gifts, I always lean on tried-and-true picks. My favorites? All the things that bring me comfort. Candles, always (I named my Lightwell collaboration HouseWarming to evoke this feeling!). Cozy throw blankets. A green potted plant. A really nice cooking spoon or spatula. An elegant pie dish. Something consumable is really fun to give. I also love giving a coffee table book. A lot of times the people moving are focused on buying paper towels and Kleenex and cleaning supplies — which, sidebar, could be a really fun bundle for a housewarming gift —but it’s also helpful to think about things that make a house feel more homey to me.

When thinking of something to give as a housewarming gift, try to stay away from something where they only need one of that product. Just focus on beautiful things that they can put around the house to make it truly feel more special, and they will feel touched by the thought you put into it.

I’ve shared a list of my favorite gifts before, but in case you’re looking for something fresh, here are even more housewarming gifts they’ll love.
