A housewarming gift should feel like it belongs in their new space. Tell us what they're like and we'll find something that fits their home, not a random candle from a gift shop.
The best housewarming gifts are either beautiful, functional, or both. Avoid anything they might already own or have to return.
Always cooking, always hosting. A quality cast iron skillet, a beautiful cookbook, or a specialty ingredient set they wouldn't buy themselves.
Their new home needs more green. A beautiful planter with a hard-to-kill plant, or a subscription that sends them a new plant each month.
A beautiful coffee table book about something they love, a Bookshop.org gift card so they can fill their new shelves, or a cozy reading lamp.
What should I spend on a housewarming gift?
$30-75 is the typical sweet spot for friends and family. For a close friend or family member buying a first home, $75-150 feels appropriate. For a colleague, $25-40.
Is a plant a good housewarming gift?
Yes, but only if you know they like plants. The gift finder asks about their interests so we can tell you whether a plant fits this specific person.
