Buying a house is a huge accomplishment and worth celebrating any time of year, but settling into a new home during the holiday season is especially magical. A new home becomes the backdrop where traditions are born, loved ones gather together, and treasured memories are made.
A thoughtfully chosen housewarming gift can help a new house feel like home. To help welcome a dear friend, family member, or new neighbor into their new home, gift them something thoughtful and practical.
From timeless décor to fun and functional items, we’ve created a holiday gift list perfect for any new homeowner.
A new home ornament is a timeless keepsake that can help commemorate the start of their new chapter. When they unpack their ornament every year, it’ll rekindle the joy and excitement they first felt in their new home. Some fun options include:
One of the best things about a new home is the ability to host loved ones, and the holiday season is the perfect time to bring everyone together. Having specific items for festive entertaining elevates the joy of the season and fosters a sense of togetherness that’s uniquely tied to the holidays.
Whether they love wine, champagne, whiskey, or coffee, bringing their favorite beverage is a great way to celebrate a new home. During the holidays, festive gear for entertaining is a great addition.
If you’re looking for something with a more personal touch, customized home décor makes an exceptional holiday gift. These unique pieces embellish their new home, and you can tailor them to the recipient’s style and design preferences.
A house plant is an excellent gift for a new homeowner any time of year, representing growth, life, and new beginnings. Not only are they aesthetically appealing, a plant brings a sense of calm amidst the transition.
Elevate everyday home essentials with a gift basket filled with luxurious versions of common necessities. A thoughtfully assembled basket serves as a great starter kit for any new home, blending style and functionality to create an atmosphere of relaxation and sophistication, making it an ideal gift to welcome the recipient into their new home.
A new home is a great opportunity to create fond memories, and gathering friends and family to try new recipes is an easy way to do it. A cookbook or cocktail recipe book inspires creativity, and exploring new cuisines or drinks together can serve as a foundation for a great story down the road. Whether you find your new annual holiday drink or the dish you attempt is more of a flop, sharing the experience with loved ones is a joy like no other.
A tool set or home maintenance kit is an invaluable and practical gift for any new homeowner. Help them be prepared with a ready-to-go tool kit, including essentials like a flashlight, batteries, and duct tape. Ease the stress of unpacking with a set of everyday essentials for chores such as laundry, or celebrate their new backyard with a gardening set.
Moving into a new home can be chaotic. A new homeowner is surrounded by boxes, trying to get settled, and still needing to tackle their everyday routine. Gifting a subscription service is a great way to alleviate some of the pressures of settling into a new home and give the recipient a bit of calm and enjoyment.
Techy gifts or smart home devices offer both convenience and innovation as they help enhance the functionality and efficiency of a new home. These gadgets often integrate seamlessly with other smart devices, creating a connected ecosystem that simplifies routines and adds comfort and convenience.
Gift an experience in their new neighborhood, like a gift card to a nearby restaurant, a community paint-and-sip class, or tickets to a local event. These gifts go beyond material goods, providing experiences that enrich their social connections and help them establish roots in their new neighborhood.
Gifting a new homeowner during the holidays is not just about the presents but the heartfelt sentiments behind them. From thoughtful ornaments to practical tools, each gift carries warm wishes for their new home. Here’s to decking the halls and hearts of new homeowners with comfort, joy, and the magic of the holiday season.
