13 Beautiful Housewarming Gift Ideas You’ll Want to Keep for Yourself

By Team Mitzie

This post is all about finding the perfect housewarming gift.

Do you have a friend or family member moving into a new flat or house? Then you’re going to want to buy them a housewarming present. I love buying and giving gifts, the feeling of giving someone a present that you know they are going to absolutely love is priceless. 

Moving house is a stressful process so this gift list has been crafted to help make their new home a relaxing haven. The list of presents below have a range of price tags with some affordable yet luxury options such as the Le Cruset mugs and some more special high price options such as the classic Roberts radio. 

A lovely touch you can add to your housewarming gift is wrapping it in a gorgeous wicker basket. Not does this look really special, its a more eco alternative to using disposable cellophane or wrapping paper. Plus your friend or family member can use the gift basket afterwards for storage. 

Without further adieu here is the comprehensive housewarming gift list!
