Buying a home is an exciting adventure that people go on and want to share with others through a housewarming party. But are you nervous to show up empty handed and stuck on what to buy as a gift? Check out some ideas below:
- Find out what area they live in and buy gift cards to the surrounding businesses. Look for grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops, fun stores, etc. This gift helps them get out in their community and see everything around them.
- Pick a theme for a gift idea
- Movie theme- do a movie date night theme. Moving can be stressful so giving them a night to just enjoy a comedy at a movie theater might just be what they need.
- Massage- moving can make muscles hurt that you didn’t even know existed. Treat the homeowner with a massage to help get all those moving crinks out.
- Under the Stars- grab makings for S’mores, an outdoor fire pit and a cute picnic blanket to inspire a fun night under the stars.
- Outdoor theme- are they adventurous? Go to your local outdoor shop and pick up a Camelbak, tennis rackets, fishing gear, etc to inspire them to get out and enjoy their new surroundings.
- A customized item with their name on it makes the home that much more personal
- Doormat
- Picture or sign to hang on their wall
- Cutting board
- Corn hole board
- Coasters
- A meal in a basket is the perfect way to help new homeowners have less to decide. With decisions on how to decorate, how to arrange furniture, what paint color to use, the last thing they need to worry about is what to eat. So think of a fun recipe and buy all the ingredients to be housed in a cute basket. Make sure to print out the recipe so they know how to cook it. ***Hint: Find out any food allergies beforehand!
- Music always helps make organizing that much more enjoyable. Grab the new homeowners a record player with a couple of records they can jam out to.
