When a loved one moves into a new place, it’s hard to tell which household purchases are necessary, rather than offering clutter. Don’t get it twisted, not every housewarming gift has to be practical, a timeless treasure can certainly be creative and iconic. Trust me, they’d rather be opening gifts than unpacking boxes.
And before you argue, your mother’s always right, if you’ve been invited to a housewarming party then it’s of the utmost importance that you take a congratulatory gift along with you. Not too sure where to start? If it’s a first home gift, then you’re looking at tableware and cute doormats. While vases and wall art make the perfect welcome addition to a relocator’s existing stash of homeware delights.
Certify your place as a favourite housewarming party attendee with the best gifts for every corner of their new abode.
