Housewarming gift baskets for the foodie
The first idea is to fill a basket with food items. It could be freshly baked bread, biscuits, good wine, nuts, jams, or chocolates. Salt, tea, spices, cooking oils, and good coffee are also great options here. If you like to cook, you could even go ahead and make some DIY gifts!
Housewarming gift basket with bathroom theme
I’m sure any new homeowner would appreciate a basket dedicated to the bathroom. Think soap bars, pretty soap dispensers, soft towels, and lotions. Skincare items like facemasks and body oils are also great ideas within this category.
A girly gift basket
Are you giving the housewarming gift basket to a girly girl? How about a bouquet of fresh, cut flowers and some sparkling rosè wine? Add some delicious chocolate and you’re good to go!
Home decor gift basket
You could also fill a basket with home decor items. I’m sure they will come to good use. Think scented candles, candle holders, photo frames, vases, blankets, or sculptures. This one requires that you know what decor style the house owner likes, so maybe do a little research beforehand to find out what kind of decor they like.
A book basket for the book lover
If the new house owner loves to read, why not fill a basket with good books? Find out what kind of books they like and add a couple to a beautiful basket. Coffee table books to display in their living room, or books about home decor are great ideas for new homeowners. Throw in a cute bookmark and you’re good to go!
Housewarming plant in a basket
Giving a plant as a housewarming gift is a classic. When we first moved into our house, a lot of our friends gave us house plants or flowers, and they were the perfect gift because I hadn’t had the time to purchase any for myself. This is a great idea if your friend likes to care for plants! Add a few small plants to a basket along with a little watering can for an extra gift. You could alternatively give one large plant in a basket. Plants can be expensive, so you don’t need to overdo it!
