10 of the best housewarming gift ideas

You might even want to keep them for yourself! - by Amy Croffey
  • 13 Sep 2019

Whether friends, family or loved ones are moving into their first home, a new apartment or a couple have just splashed out on a house, you never want to turn up to a housewarming with one arm longer than the other.

10 of the best housewarming gift ideas

Moving is stressful, so the best housewarming presents should always be thoughtful. Practical gifts could help them settle into a new space, while funny and unique housewarming gifts might make them get excited about their place as they are not things they might ordinarily buy for themselves.

Scroll on to find the perfect housewarming gift ideas.

TDE

The Daily Edited

Personalised desk accessories 

From $30 - The Daily Edited

There's a bit of a narcissist in us all (some deeper than others), so who wouldn't love a unique monogrammed piece? Australian brand The Daily Edited, run by lawyer-turned-CEO Alyce Tran, is the leader in personalised leather goods in Australia. The personalised desk accessories come in a range of colours and are sure to spruik up any space, even a home office.

Bondi Icebergs by Aquabumps
Aquabumps

A print of their favourite place

From $95 - Aquabumps

A beautiful print by Aquabumps is a commemorative way to celebrate a new home and a surefire way to get invited back again and again and again. 

Lilac and Willow
Lilac and Willow

Fresh flowers

From $50 - Lilac and Willow

A bouquet of fresh flowers will brighten up any new space.

Moet

Moët & Chandon champagne 

$61.99 - Dan Murphy's

Home movers are likely to toast their arrival at a new property with a pop of a bottle, so make it a champers.

SodaStream

SodaStream sparkling water maker

From $60 - Harvey Norman

Forget about the usual housewarming gifts such as a toaster or an iron, because you could be getting your friend or relative a Sodastream. Sure, this is a pretty unique housewarming present from your usual kitchen appliances, but they might be unlikely to ever buy one for themselves.

Jo Malone

Jo Malone candle

$92 - David Jones

It's a classic, but you can't really go wrong with a deliciously scented candle. There are plenty of varieties on the market for any budget, but if you want to really impress, go for a Jo Malone to add a lovely atmosphere to their new home.

Stamp etsy

Return address stamp

$16.00 VeryStamp from etsy.com

Make sure that the new settlers never have to write out their return address again with a handmade, pre-inked custom rubber calligraphy stamp with gorgeus calligraphy.

Bunnings Welcome Mat

A welcome mat

$19 - Madra Link from Bunnings

A welcome mat is another classic housewarming gift, but you could make it a little more original by choosing one with a unique design or colour. 

Myer cheese board

Cheese board

$49.95 - Vue at Myer

For your friends who are the ultimate wine and cheese connoisseurs, this platter will become an entertaining staple and the centre of their get-togethers for years to come. For the ultimate gift set, choose this five piece set complete with board, cheese fork, soft cheese knife, cleaver and cheese plane.

Anthropolgie

Anthropologie dishtowels 

$39.95 set of three - David Jones

They may not be the fanciest, but they are certainly one of the most practical. When moving, most people throw out their old dishcloths and move in with only a few to spare, so a pack of quality dishtowels will be a well appreciated gift.
