And remember: the best housewarming gifts and ideas are less about the price tag, and more about how personal it is to the giftee!

How to Come Up With Unique Housewarming Gift Ideas
We all know the basics: houseplants and candles rule as housewarming gifts. But what about when you want to stand out from the crowd?
To come up with the best unique housewarming gift ideas, it’s time to get personal. Think about what the new homeowner is most excited to do in their new home. Have they been gushing about the beautiful kitchen they can’t wait to cook in? Gift them a gorgeous cutting board! Are they obsessed with the huge bathroom? Turn it into a spa with monogrammed robes!
You can also help make their new house feel more like a home by personalizing your housewarming gift with their name, address, or location. From a unique wall print that shows off their new neighborhood (like the one pictured above!) to custom engraved glass tumblers, this is such a special way to mark their life milestone.
And, when in doubt, we love a good twist on the classics! Give them a houseplant in a fun or unique planter or look for a candle inspired by their new city. Guaranteed crowd pleasers!
Need some help shopping for those hard-to-please pals? We’ve got you covered with these unique gift ideas for people who have everything!
