The Best Housewarming Gifts
Moving and unpacking to a new space is obviously a big deal. It takes a lot of effort — for example, it’s never fun or easy or stress-free no matter how hard you try — and there are hidden costs lurking around every corner. So if you’re heading to someone’s new home, whether it’s a formal party or just a quick visit, you should probably (read: definitely) show up with a housewarming gift in hand. Not only bringing something nice to the owners, but also unique housewarming gifts that can really help make a house or apartment more livable. And as someone whose “new” space still feels a little chaotic after six months (read: a couple of years), I can safely say that it’s the little things that bring some comfort, like a plush electric kettle or a decent IG speaker. Never underestimate the power of a gift, friends!
But since every homeowner (or renter — hi, that’s me) is different, you need to make sure you have a wide variety of options ready. Luckily there is Amazon! Without shocking anyone, the site is a treasure trove of thoughtful selections that any host is sure to love. And while there is some silliness here, there are very cheap legit options that will also seem cultured and thoughtful. To promise.
