Housewarming gifts could be a tricky issue. We choose or receive them on the happy event of settling into a new home. Choosing such gifts should take into account the size of the dwelling, its design style, the habits and age of the homeowners. If the new home is a small, apartment, it is unlikely the owners will be delighted to receive bulky objects and sculptures. It will be difficult to fit a painting with an avant-garde scene or a hi-tech lamp in a classic interior.
Very few people will be very glad to receive a dust collector and buying one is not a very good idea for housewarming gifts. It is not advisable that you buy things like curtains, carpets and bedspreads only by prior arrangement. First, it is very difficult to get the right color, and second, it is very likely the homeowners would like to choose these by themselves. Money is a win-win option if you think that people would not be pleased with your gift. The money can be put into a piggy bank, shaped like a house or make a symbolic house of cardboard.
If the new home is an empty apartment it will be very appropriate to get tea and coffee sets, sets of cutlery and knives, beautiful wine glasses or pots and pans sets. If the owners are starting life in a new home from scratch, they shall be happy to receive any appliances – meat grinders, juicers, blenders, coffee makers and microwaves. If it is possible to combine finances with other guests, you can look at a dishwasher or a refrigerator. It is possible to buy a comfortable chair, a beautiful ceiling chandelier, original wall lamp, wine dispenser, stylish coffee or bedside table as housewarming gift ideas to friends or relatives, whose tastes and needs are well known.
