Housewarming Treasures for Every Price Range

Let’s talk about the hot topic in the world of “new homes” – housewarming gifts. It’s the socially acceptable way of saying, “Cheers to adulting enough to own property!” The debate rages on: should the gift be something we want to give or something the host needs? Are gift cards in $$ the way to go, or is the obligatory plant or kitchen gadget still holding its ground? And do flowers suffice?

In my opinion, the goal of housewarming gifts is clear: While making my new homeowner friend laugh and contributing to their growing collection of unexpected treasures is good fun, the essential aim is to give something they genuinely need or will use. Turning a house into a home is a process, and a thoughtful, practical gift is something every new homeowner will appreciate. Here’s a compilation of my all-time favorite housewarming presents that have not only stood the test of time but also received enthusiastic reviews from both givers and receivers:

Price Range $25 – $50

Bamboo, Charcuterie Boards Gift Set:  I always thought this was such a bougie thing to own but once I received this as a present myself, I realized how versatile this can be – loved this gift set- it has sturdy box for storage, that fits well on a shelf. All the accessories fit nicely on a tray that slides into the main tray. Best part, it comes with a beginner book with lot of ideas. Loved the smaller fruit tray. It’s big enough for 4-6 people and small enough for two. For someone, who is INTO creating C boards, this one is a must buy!

5 Pc Battery Operated Flameless, Flickering LED Candles with Timer, Acrylic Shell & Embedded Star String:  I have bought this set for many friends, housewarming or not, and each and every one of them have appreciated it. Having young kids at home, fire hazards are always a concern, especially in a party setting, when we are not paying attention – and that is why I adore these “Fake Candles!”. I have a set for myself as well. Remote buttons are well marked & I really enjoy the ability to dim/brighten the lights or switch them to flicker (realistic) or just steady light. Each candle takes 2 AA batteries plus there’s the coin button battery for the remote.Set of 4 Moscow Mule 18 Oz Copper Mugs, Stainless Steel inside Lining, Ring Bottle Opener & Recipe Booklet Included: This is a perfect gift for a friend who loves his/her bar! These are fancy looking, came well packaged in an attractive box. The added bonus of the two copper straws and the copper jigger are definitely a big plus for a complete Moscow Mule experience. It even comes with a small insert with recipes and care instructions. oh, did I mention they are dishwasher safe?!!4 in 1 LED Bedside Touch Lamp with Wireless Charger, Portable Bluetooth Speaker, Phone Holder, Dimmable Charging: Received it as a gift myself and I think it is a great idea – neat appearance, sound quality is decent, and it was easy to connect the phone to the device for speaker use. Best part is, simply touch the handle and the light comes on. The packaging is top notch, definitely 10/10 for the price!

Solar Wind Chimes Outdoor/Indoor, Yard Decoration: Perfect for someone who enjoys sitting in their backyard or outdoors or even in a sunroom – super easy to hang up, with a simple hook. It will charge up in the night itself due to being solar powered which is a nice feature. A cute, simple gift for someone who appreciates outdoors!

Price Range $50 – $100

Portable Quiet Electric Space Heaters for Indoor Use, 70° Oscillation, 12H Timer, 1500W: Received as a housewarming gift – I think it is very practical and love how aesthetically pleasing it is. Quiet, many options for temp control and very convenient with the remote. Best feature is the timer for safety!! Definitely worth it, if you want to gift something high-end and useful!7 Pc Comforter Set Queen – Comforter, Sheets, Pillowcases & Shams: Now, who does not love a good quality bedspread?! I have friends who LOVE to collect different one’s and coz of their higher costs, always appreciate a good set as a gift. Plus, I believe it is very useful when one moves into a new home, coz chances they would like to use brand new sheets and spreads. This is my go for gifting – sheets are very soft yet thick, material is very soft and light and lots of colors and patterns to choose from. Definitely worthy of being a nice, thoughtful gift.Outdoor Cool Bar Table, Rattan Style Patio 8 Gallon Beer and Wine Cooler, All-Weather Ice Bucket w/Height Adjustable Top, Drainage Plug, 3-in-1 Cocktail Coffee Table: This has been the ABSOLUTE BEST, MOST PRACTICAL gift I have ever received. It does not even look like a cooler, just looks cool. I have been asked by so many where I got it from. Fits well with almost all decks or patio. Easy to assemble and even easier to use with the retractable tabletop.Long Range Wireless Smart Meat Thermometer with Bluetooth Booster | iOS & Android App:  I had a friend whose husband REALLY enjoyed grilling and all – so I wanted to gift them something he would appreciate. His reviews were amazing and over the years, I have gifted it to many friends – people appreciate the constant communication on their phone which indicates temp and remaining time. I have been told the Meater app is easy to download and works fantastic. Overall, a must for a griller!24 Pc, Service of 6, Stainless Steel, Silverware Set: I think every lady of the house would appreciate a good silverware set. And this is it for me – I ordered it for a friend’s housewarming and loved it so much, got one for myself! Made of stainless steel, it is elegant and classy. Definitely purchase it if you want to give a thoughtful, practical gift!
