Moving to a new place of residence is both a pleasant event and a lot of different troubles. But when all the difficulties are over, it’s time to have a housewarming party. Owners of new homes can expect to prepare for the holiday, and guests can choose and purchase a present.
Housewarming gifts for relatives and friends: what should you consider when choosing?
For this festive event, a common gift is usually presented and, as a rule, it should be connected with the house in one way or another: decorate it, give comfort, ease household chores. The needs, wishes, and tastes of household members should also be taken into account. In addition, there are various traditions and signs. According to the latter, some gifts, in addition to their practical benefits, will bring good luck to the house, while others will do the opposite.
One more nuance - the criteria for choosing a gift for new residents in an apartment and a house are somewhat different. For example, if the area of the new home is small, then it would be completely inappropriate to give a large item as a gift.Well, the list of possible gifts for relatives who have moved to a private house is expanding to include items for recreation or arrangement of the local area.
Often, such a question as the cost of the souvenir is also important for donors. However, there is a wide range of inexpensive gifts that, if chosen correctly, will please the heroes of the occasion more than an expensive but completely unnecessary item.
Let's consider gift options taking into account all the above criteria - for an apartment, a house, inexpensive and original.
If the housewarming party is in the apartment
As already mentioned, when choosing a gift for an apartment, you should take into account its dimensions. For example, one of the best souvenirs is a flower in a pot, but the owners are unlikely to be happy with a huge plant that will “take up” valuable space. Taking into account the dimensions, style of the room and preferences of household members, you can consider the following options:
- water filter;
- kitchenware;
- beautiful or unusual dishes: chameleon glasses, original shaped sugar bowl, candy bowl, etc.;
- tabletop decorative fountain;
- LED picture;
- wall-mounted fireplace;
- air purifier;
- bathroom accessories: holders, dispensers, sets of towels, curtains with an original pattern, etc.;
- a door peephole with a monitor or a bell that plays a pleasant melody;
- an unusual lamp or night light in the form of a 3D figure;
- smart trash can;
- a basket with fruits, tea, coffee, delicacies - always beautifully decorated;
- home weather station;

- folding serving table;
- a set of unbreakable plates;
- light alarm clock;

For example:
- a set of textiles for the kitchen (towels, potholders);
- spray dispensers for oil, vinegar;
- knife;
- housekeeper;
- stones for cooling drinks;
- food containers;
