Personalised Home Decor
Nothing says “welcome home” quite like personalised home decor.
Consider gifting custom wall art, doormats, coasters, tea towels, or throw pillows that feature the recipient’s name, a meaningful quote, or the new address. It adds a personal touch and transforms a house into a home with warmth and sentiment.
Indoor Plants
Greenery brings life and tranquillity to any living space.
Potted indoor plants like succulents, snake plants, or peace lilies make excellent housewarming gifts for anyone with a green thumb. Not only do they enhance the minimalist aesthetics of the new home, but they also purify the air and promote a healthier living environment.

Cosy Throw Blankets
Warmth and comfort are essential for creating a cosy home.
A soft and luxurious throw blanket makes for a perfect housewarming gift. Choose a design that complements the recipient’s interior decor, and they’ll cherish the gift during chilly evenings or while relaxing on the couch.
Home Tool Kit
For handy homeowners, a well-stocked home tool kit is a thoughtful gift set.
Include essential tools like a hammer, screwdriver set, measuring tape, and pliers. This practical present will come in handy for DIY projects and minor repairs around the house.
