The Best Housewarming Gifts for a New Home

There's something particularly lovely about being invited into someone's new home for the first time — and the gift you bring says a lot about how well you know them.

Skip the bottle of wine that'll be gone by the end of the evening. The best housewarming gifts are the ones that earn a permanent spot somewhere in the new home — on a windowsill, a mantelpiece or a kitchen shelf.

A glass friendship ball in green — the traditional colour of growth and new beginnings — is one of our most requested housewarming gifts, and it's easy to see why. Hung in a sunny window of a new home, it becomes one of the first things that makes the space feel truly theirs.

For the kitchen or dining room, our handmade glass tableware brings genuine craftsmanship to everyday use, elevating the first meals cooked in a new home into something a little more special.

If they're the type to notice the small details, a reed diffuser is a wonderful way to help a new house smell like home from day one — beautiful glass design that looks intentional on a hallway table rather than hidden away.

And for anyone with even a small garden or balcony at their new place, one of our self watering planters or glass bird feeders extends the welcome outdoors too.

A good housewarming gift doesn't need to be expensive. It just needs to say this already feels like somewhere special.
