Housewarming Gift Ideas That Say “Congratulations on Your New Home”
Design: Signature Greenvelope
Alongside your well wishes card or letter you might want to send a thoughtful congratulations on your new home gift. There’s something out there to suit every person, couple, or family — but here’s a handful of our favorites.В
Fresh Flowers or Plants
There’s a reason sending flowers as a gift is so timeless — they’re a lovely way to brighten up a home and make someone smile. Fresh flowers or plants make great gifts for new homeowners or renters as they quickly add color and style to a space.В
Look for a highly regarded florist near their new location and ask them to add a handwritten note as a special touch. Think about the flowers and colors your gift recipient loves, and ask for a bouquet to be made with them in mind. Likewise, you can choose a houseplant that suits the gift recipient’s personality or lifestyle. For instance, if they don’t exactly have a green thumb, a cute succulent in a modern container could be the perfect housewarming gift.
Meal Delivery Service or Recipe Box
Meal delivery services make great options for busy families moving a long distance while recipe boxes help couples or families create a “date night” or “family night” without the hassle of shopping for ingredients. If you’re gifting a recipe box and don’t want the giftee to worry about unpacking things, send them a fresh set of pans and dinnerware too.В
