Housewarming gifts can be a challenge. How well you know the recipient can determine how easy or difficult it is to choose a housewarming gift. If you know them well, you may know exactly what they like, want, or need; which makes your task of gift buying rather simple. If you don’t know what they like, want, or need; or you’re not too familiar with their new home, color preferences, design style, etc., it becomes a bit harder to select the right gift. Of course, you can always give a gift card, but that always feels a bit impersonal. While a gift card will certainly come in handy for the new homeowner, if you do choose to give a gift card, it is nice to supplement it with a physical gift. It makes the overall gift more personal.

With every move into a new home, there is undoubtedly a long list of necessities, which can make a very useful and creative housewarming gift. Everyday necessities like paper towels and hand soap, cleaning supplies, storage baskets and bins, and mood enhancers like aromatherapy candles, along with easy grab-n-go snacks are all simple items very much needed to ease the hassle of a big move.

Home décor items that are simple and universal, like picture frames, candles, and decorative baskets quickly make a new empty house feel homey.

And with the hectic days of moving, easy, healthy snacks keep energy flowing.

It’s with this in mind that we designed our New Home Housewarming Gift Basket. This gift basket contains a generous assortment of items that help facilitate a smooth transition and instill a homey feel for the new homeowner.

• Daily household essentials include:
  
  • Microfiber cleaning cloths and a microfiber dish mat in ivory to match any color scheme
    
  • Naturally Clean Home, 150 Super Easy Herbal Formulas for Green Cleaning
    
  • Fresh Wave gel air freshener
    
  • Stickable note portfolio for all those little reminders that come up during a hectic move
    
• Easy to make homemade dip mixes and lemonade are included. These are from Country Home Creations, a wonderful company in Michigan who makes the absolute tastiest dips, soups, beverages, and more.
  
• To add that homey feeling to our New Home Housewarming Gift Basket, we’ve added:
  
  • Hand poured soy candle and liquid hand soap in rosemary mint. Both products are made in Michigan by Green Daffodil, one of my favorite brands for amazing and healthy candle, bath and body products.
    
  • Handmade wooden framed quote, with 2 styles to choose from. One is a more contemporary design and the other a more colorful classic. Both include an inspiring quote about the value of Home.
    

• And just for fun, we’ve included a Scramble Squares brainteaser puzzle, a fun way to end a long day of physical labor. Easy to slowly work toward a solution (but addictive!), fun for the whole family, and an entertaining group effort for their next party. I know personally how addicting these puzzles can be. We’ve been known to pull out a puzzle or two at our own dinner parties!
  

The final design is a large round basket, well suited for storage in any room – magazines, towels, etc. We decorate this housewarming gift basket in bright yellow for a cheery spring look! As with all of our gift baskets, it can be customized to a requested color scheme if desired.
