The Bookblock Gift Guide To… Housewarming Gifts

When someone moves into a new home, there are so many gifting options. Do they love cosy nights in or cooking? Are they big tea lovers? Self-professed chocolatiers? A new home is all about making memories, and housewarming gifts should be well-thought out and tailored to them as they start their new journey. Help them get them settled in with gifts that have a personal touch – from French chocolates to orange & cinnamon candles, here are a few options of some housewarming gifts that you’ll want to keep for yourself…

Nawrap green organic hand towel at Bookblock

For Someone Who Loves Natural and Organic…
This Nawrap organic green hand towel is the perfect option for your natural-obsessed friend. It’s delicate but durable, and the history of this brand will make you want to be part of their journey. Founded in the 1930s, Nawrap originally manufactured mosquito nets – they then realised their material was fast-drying, lightweight and soft, so they grew to produce multi-purpose clothes and towels. Their commitment to tradition forgoes modern machinery for traditional weaving techniques. No dyes, no chemicals, just beautifully soft cotton.

Bookblock sandalwood black pepper candle housewarming gift

For Someone Who Is ALL About Scent
A candle is always a good idea. A soothing, comforting atmosphere is just what you need in a new home to unwind after all the stress of unpacking and moving! Our  earthy, bold Sandalwood and Black Pepper candle has base notes of teak and patchouli, and highlights of leather. It’s made with 100% soy wax and all natural fragrances, with a burn time of 40 hours.

For The Chocolate Lover
If someone you know who’s moving into a new home is a self-professed chocolate connoisseur, this delicious Mixed Praline Gift Box is a necessity. Housed in an ornate gift box with gold foiling, it makes a beautiful gift for the eyes as well as the tastebuds! The selection of fifteen delicious chocolates includes decadent flavours such as Classic Praline, Caramac Cream, Caramelised Sesame, Hazelnut Truffle, Honey Chocolate, Strawberries & Cream, Hazelnut Praline, Almond Praline and Orange Praline.

For The One Who Can’t Stop Drinking Tea
The best tea deserves the best kit! For cosy evenings in and mornings brews, we’re fans of this gorgeous Copper Tea Infuser. It will change the life of any loose leaf tea lover, and for something stylish and sleek, this tea infuser lets you steep your brew to the perfect strength. Opt for an accompanying tea, like our range of MIND, BODY and SOUL Bookblock Deli Organic Tea & Herbal Blends.

For Someone Who’s Favourite Room In The House Is The Bathroom
Make this the first thing on their new bathroom shelf. Älska specialise in generous fragrances that ease the senses. These bath salts from Älska are a soothing and calming bath salt blend containing Himalayan & epsom salts combined with essential oils and enriched with organic botanicals. Just a handful of this is needed for a scented, relaxing spa-like treatment at home, making it the perfect housewarming present for someone who’s into their skincare and self-care.

The Bookblock Guide To… Evenings In

For comfort and cosiness, opt for things that have a personal touch – from French chocolates to orange & cinnamon candles, here are a few options to make sure evenings indoors are a no brainer. 

A candle or two… or three
Something you can never have too many of, you can get really creative by picking a different scented candle for each room. For the bedroom, something to help get a good night’s sleep is the Flora Lane lavender & vanilla candle (the ultimate winter warmer!) with a comforting blend of smells and perfect for cosy nights in. For the bathroom, something that creates a warm, relaxing atmosphere is the Evergreen candle by Byrd & Bay, a lively candle with scents of lemon, bergamot and mandarin which create a refreshing body that is beautifully contrasted by juniper and a sensual base of amber, musk and woods. For the living room, something fresh – English Pear and Freesia by Älska, a heady, sweet and floral scent that has all the aromas of an English summer.

Tea-total
A treat all year around but especially in the colder months, this is the perfect option if someone drinks cups of tea morning, day and night. Start with the Cosmos Turquoise Mug by Porland, 100% porcelain and great for a morning brew. Then, select your tea. Our range of Bookblock Deli organic tea & herbal blends are just the ticket for any loose leaf tea lovers. Choose from three blends; MIND, BODY and SOUL

 

Copper Clip Spoon
Next is the copper tea infuser – ideal for keeping tea (and coffee) leaves fresh, it’s the perfect blend of form and function, and doubles up as a measure. For a unique tea maker, you can’t go wrong with the glass tea maker by Teministeriet. Sleek and modern, your brew will be delicious, every time. To finish off, (and before setting up camp on the sofa for the rest of the evening), choose the perfect mug for your brew.  The ultimate tea kit.

Smell and skin
For the skincare fanatic, it’s important to have all of the right products for cosy evenings in and there are so many pamper products to choose from. First, get the place smelling delightful with a Flora Lane diffuser. A gorgeous combination of wild jasmine and plum, this diffuser is sophisticated and the best part? It releases fragrances for up to 6 months so it’s perfect for keeping the place smelling fresh and vibrant all the time.

To de-stress, bath bombs are always a lovely gift. It’s something we rarely buy for ourselves unless we’re actively trying to indulge in some self-care, so for unwinding, bath time is a necessity. This lavender scented bath bomb is both fragrant and moisturising, and it’s 100% natural too.

Pamper gifts are only complete when you add in something solely for the skin – this Lavender Moisturising Cream (made with all natural ingredients) is a great choice. Carrying on with that moisturising and nourishing feel, this can be used as both a day or night cream, so use this before you hop onto the sofa with a cup of the tea. It’s full of medical lavender oil as well as anti-oxidising Vitamin E to help nourish your skin, while relaxing your soul with its gentle scent. Ideal for evenings in.
