12 Unique Gift Ideas for Housewarming in 2022

My sister-in-law and her family just closed on their first house (so exciting!) and I couldn’t wait to send them something memorable and unique to help celebrate this exciting milestone! If you’re anything like me, you need a long mental break from gift ideas after the holiday season – I honestly use every ounce of creative juices I have to find the right gifts! So I thought I would create this list of unique gift ideas for housewarming as we approach the Spring season, when people tend to buy and sell homes the most!

Now as with most gifts I purchase, I try my best to come up with a personalized gift idea, to make sure that it fits the person I’m buying for and leaves them feeling like I really put thought and effort into it. I also want to make sure it is memorable!

I’ll never forget when our realtor surprised us with a housewarming gift when we were moving into our last home; she had stocked the fridge with take home & bake pizza, and then had paper plates, napkins and a personalized pizza cutter waiting for us on the counter – so that we didn’t have to worry about making dinner or hurrying to unpack our pans to cook during our move.  So thoughtful, right??

Ok, so let’s get into the list of unique gift ideas for housewarming, shall we?

Personalized Gift Ideas for Housewarming

Personalized Address Stamp

I have given this so many times, and it honestly never gets old.  There are so many cute options to choose from with gorgeous script fonts or designs, and the recipients will love saving time not self-addressing all of their outgoing mail!

I love a combination of script and sans-serif fonts, such as this one:

 

Personalized Door Mat

This is what we just ordered for my family, and they absolutely loved it!  You can customize the second line to include just the name as shown, or if their last name ends with a letter that would require an apostrophe, you could always add “Family” at the end like I did (Example: The Rose Family).

From ordering to delivery it was about one week, and we shipped directly to them to avoid extra delivery fees since we do not live in the same city.

 

Custom Wreath Ornament

I just love the look of a wreath layered with a monogram or family name – it just adds a bit of personality and flair to welcoming people to your home.

Edible Gift Ideas for Housewarming

You know I had to include an entire section around food!  Here are some great ideas (in addition to the pizza night idea I mentioned above) that are sure to be a hit with anyone who….eats.

 Meal Delivery Service

This is such a nice gift, as we all know how tiring moving into a new home can be.  Not to mention not having any groceries at first!  Having the gift of getting meals delivered is such a thoughtful gift – and the recipients can use it when it works best for them!  Home Chef and Hello Fresh are two great options that you can purchase gift cards from!

Wine Subscription Service

One thing we did not want to haul during our move were lots of bottles of wine that were not only heavy but fragile.  So we stopped buying bottles for the last few weeks and really tried to get rid of most of it before the move.  But that left us with one problem – an empty wine rack in our new home!

Winc is a popular wine subscription company!  You can also purchase a gift card for the recipients to choose and order themselves.

Bottle of Wine with Label

Is this not the cutest idea!  Bottles of wine are always a go-to for housewarming or hostess gifts, but why not take it up a notch and add this adorable label! Simply buy your wine of choice then add the label to the front for a personalized feel.

Food Delivery Gift Card

Similar to the meal service delivery, but literally no cooking required.  Just give a Door Dash, Uber Eats, or Postmates gift card for the homeowners to order takeout when needed during/after their move!  Their bellies and brains will thank you for taking ALL of the effort and guesswork out of ‘what’s for dinner’!

Practical Housewarming Gift Ideas

This is for all my practical friends who are looking for just that – practical gift ideas for housewarming!

Plant Box

I love these adorable succulents that will add a nice pop of color in the recipients new home!

Ornament

I love nothing more than each year looking through all of our sentimental ornaments before hanging them on our Christmas tree.  They hold so much meaning and bring a smile to my face each time.  This cute ornament will remind them of the major milestone they accomplished that year in buying a home!

Custom Acrylic Calendar

These calendars are so handy to have in any home – we live by our family calendar!  Personalize it by adding their name to the top.

Coordinates Print Housewarming Gift

These are sweet little personalized prints that would be a perfect finishing touch in their new home, and remind them of EXACTLY where their new home is, lol.
