10 Best Housewarming Gift Ideas

The best housewarming gifts are the ones that you wouldn’t necessarily think to buy for yourself. Handmade sentiments, keepsakes, local gift baskets, and more. Check out these 10 favorites that I have rounded up for you here today.

Your new homeowner friends are going to love any one of these fabulous choices.

10 Best Housewarming Gift Ideas

Not in any particular order…

1. Cozy White Cottage Books

Liz Marie is one of my favorite home decor bloggers that I pull so much inspiration from. And to gift one, or even 2 of her books as a housewarming gift, in my estimation would be the perfect gift.

I keep our copy of Cozy White Cottage right on our coffee table.

2. Antique Candle Co. Candles and Accessories

My favorite candles! Created with the vintage farmhouse in mind, these soy candles in Blue Ball jars are the perfect housewarming gift.

Add the Candle Care Set too which includes safety matches, candle snuffer, and wick trimmer.

You may see how I have used these candles throughout our homes HERE too.

3. For the Birds Housewarming

Keeping our feathered friends in mind, I love the idea of a bird feeder wreath for a little outdoor decor as a housewarming present. Here are a few of my favorites…

Maybe even a birdhouse to match the home like this one that we recently installed here at our house.

4. Think Local

Do you have a popular or favorite local shop that is indicative of where you live? Maybe a cheese shop, gift shop, wine store, etc.?

When we are in Maine one of my favorites is Stonewall Kitchen.

Create a gift basket like some of these for a wonderful and thoughtful housewarming gift.

5. For the Vintage Lover, a Blue and White Platter

Blue and white vintage platters are so very classic and collectible. And for that vintage lover, choose one of these gorgeous blue and white vintage platters for your next housewarming gift.

If you like all things chippy, thrifty, and vintage as we do around here, join me for “Thrifting with the Gals“.

6. A Broom

Yes, a broom!

A broom is a traditional housewarming gift to give “so that you don’t bring dirt from the last house in with you”. Add a handwritten note to the broom explaining this tradition!

7. Lady’s Tools

One of the best gifts I ever got was this bag of “Lady’s Tools” and I use them daily.

Pretty in Pink for the practical and fun housewarming gift.

Well, because every gal needs a set of “Lady’s Tools”…

8. Mrs. Meyer’s Kitchen Essentials Set

A new homeowner who loves all things all-natural will love a basket of Mrs. Meyer’s Kitchen Essentials cleaning products as their next housewarming gift.

9. Lemonade Set | Vintage or New

Everybody loves lemonade or iced tea, but not everyone has a nice lemonade set with a pitcher and matching glassware.

How about vintage or new lemonade set that you can both enjoy together as a housewarming.

Check out the vintage lemonade set I picked up on this Vintage Haul for The Porch.

10. Housewarming Handmade Sentiments

Some of the best housewarming gifts are made by hand with love.

Knit a blanket or a wrap.

Handmade quilt.

A painting created by you.

Your favorite craft.

Here I knitted this small white throw as a housewarming gift a few years ago.

    These are all such great ideas! I especially love the bird feeder idea (those birdseed donuts are so fun!) and the pitcher and glasses. Also, what a great tradition about the broom. Pinned for later!
