Best Housewarming Gifts for New Homeowners

Updated by Jordan White

Did your loved one recently purchase their first home? Is your friend relocating to another state for a job? Regardless of their destination, they deserve to be celebrated with a useful housewarming gift. We've rounded up a handful of housewarming subscription box gifts filled with products to help your loved one feel relaxed and comfortable in their new home.

How Much Should You Spend On A Housewarming Gift?

While it's the thought that counts, you don't want to waste money on something they won't use. Make sure you look for something practical, fun, unique, and on budget. Speaking of funding, you're probably wondering how much you should spend on a housewarming present. According to research, you should spend between $25 to $75 on a housewarming gift. That said, everyone's finances are different — do what feels comfortable to you.

What Makes A Useful Housewarming Gift?

If this is your first time shopping for a housewarming gift, you may not know what makes a good housewarming gift. Need an idea? The Eco Clean Subscription by Essentials Crate is a useful housewarming gift. A monthly subscription box, it consists of eco-conscious, sustainable household products. From disinfectant cleaner to a scented candle, these boxes have everything your new homeowners need to get cozy in their house.

The Adults & Crafts Crate subscription box is another housewarming gift you should consider. You may wonder, " How will that help them in their new home?" It'll help them have fun! As you probably know, moving can be stressful. These craft boxes come with the tools, materials, and step-by-step instructions. All they have to do is sit back, relax, and create something artsy.

The Shaker & Spoon Cocktail Club is also worth checking out. This subscription box is perfect for homeowners who enjoy indulging in the occasional mixed drink. Curated with unique recipes and ingredients, they can create a one-of-a-kind drink to toast their new home with friends and family.

When it comes to housewarming gifts, the key is not to overthink. Rather, focus on the person you're buying for and find things they would like. According to Myka Meier, founder of Beaumont Etiquette, "...the best gifts definitely cater to the person and time in life."

"Someone who is retired likely has all the picture frames they need, while a newlywed couple probably needs many for their wedding photos," she adds. Get it? Think about the people you're shopping for and look for things they'll use and continuously get joy from - like a subscription box.

Don't pay hundreds or spend hours debating on the right gift. Instead, check out the options below. Here, we've curated a list of one-of-a-kind housewarming subscription gifts you should consider buying for the new homeowners in your life:

"I received the engraving kit and I love it! I practiced on an old glass weigh scale to get the hang of engraving. I then started the glass coasters using pictures off google. I am sooo happy with how they turned out! It’s very relaxing and is a great stress reliever. I have a few people now wanting me to make them sets of coasters :)" - Megan T.

“I have been getting Finders Seekers boxes for over a year, and I cannot lie, I'm obsessed. The mysteries are a lot of fun, and they are so much fun to do with friends, especially those that haven't done something like this before. Occasionally, the puzzles are evil (I'm looking at you, Paris box!), but the fact that after a year they can still challenge me is a good thing.” - Rachel C.
