Housewarming gifts can be both decorative or practical, depending how much the person owns! Either way, they can be a very thoughtful act to ease the transition. Read on for a run down of which of our many products would be great new house gifts. You might choose to create your own gift box using the products we suggest here, for the ultimate housewarming present!
Mini Haworthia with Grey Pot and Mini Miranda Succulent with Pot
Typically, well-loved gifts are plants and flowers. They add a colour and aesthetic that may be missing in a new home. As well as their looks, they also have health-boosting properties. Plants act as natural humidifiers and filter out air pollutants. A popular house plant to gift are succulents as they are reasonably hard to kill, so perfect for any new plant parent. We have a range of three cute but striking succulents, in a choice of hand-glazed pot colours. Their smallness in size makes ideal housewarming gifts if you are unsure of space.
Maya Dried Flower Stem Box and Turquoise Glazed Clay Vase
Flowers are a beautiful gift, but are often short-lived. That’s where the creations of our Bookblock Florists are a great solution, as we provide an array of gorgeous dried flower stems and bouquets. This way, they will last for years and be a more memorable gift. For instance, our Maya Dried Flower Stem Box is perfect to freshen up a new space. The mix of flower stems allows it to be suitable for lots of style preferences.
To be displayed, flowers need something to sit in. Why not pair the stem boxes with one of our stylish clay vases? Our Turquoise Glazed Clay Vase pairs beautifully and the colours bounce off each other so well. Together, they make lovely new house gifts.
If you’re feeling generous and want to treat your loved ones to a little something extra, check out our Flowers and Bubbles gift sets. We’ve paired a range of the finest Champagnes, Sparkling Wines and Proseccos with a complimentary dried flower bouquet. Each pair sits in a bespoke box, complete with a vibrant floral design. They are such gorgeous gifts and would be exciting to open in a new home. Something to celebrate and something to decorate.
Spumante & Pendulas ‘Flowers and Champagne’ Box
For example, our Spumante & Pendulas box pairs a 75cl bottle of Monopolio Durello Spumante sparkling wine with our Large Pendula Bouquet. The vibrancy of the bouquet can brighten any home and the fruity sparkling wine is a yummy treat to share (or not!).
50cl London Dry Gin and Cherry Bakewell Rum 20cl
As well as our bubbles, we sell a variety of other drinks in our Food and Drink section that would make excellent housewarming presents. Whether your loved ones are gin lovers, wine lovers, or prefer soft drinks, we have you covered.
A classic is our 50cl London Dry Gin. It makes a great G&T, or anything you’d like to pair it with. It is infused with botanicals including Juniper, Lemon, Black Pepper, Cinnamon, Elderflower and Angelica root that give it a gentle spice. Read off those ingredients to your friends or family while gifting and they will definitely feel special!
Or, if your loved one has more of a sweet tooth, our Cherry Bakewell Rum is a fantastic choice. With coffee, caramel and cherries it’s a delicious digestif that would make Mr. Kipling proud.
Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate Bomb
For the soft drink lovers, another sweet surprise is our Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate Bomb, taking the hot chocolate game to another level. The concealed marshmallows and delicious milk chocolate would be a lovely housewarming gift for that first night in.
Timeless Vintage Champagne Flute and Timeless Short Cocktail Glass
Similar to flowers, our drinks need something to be drunk from! Drinkware is another decorative yet practical housewarming gift. For alcohol, we provide a selection of sophisticated glasses, such as our Timeless Vintage Champagne Flute and Timeless Short Cocktail Glass. Both would be great additions to a new home and to have those special glasses for special occasions.
Terra Porcelain Grey Mug and White Clay Tankard Mug
For those tea and coffee lovers, we also sell mugs that will give a new home some character. Our White Clay Tankard Mug and Terra Porcelain Grey Mug are great options. The White Mug has a lovely speckled finish and the unglazed bottom gives it a unique texture. The terracotta also contrasts with the white for a classic, but bold style. The Terra Porcelain mug, by contrast, is a lot more abstract. The roughly layered brush strokes and hints of green create a lovely grainy texture, but with a smooth finish for a comfortable hold.
Winter Honeysuckle & Elderflower, Lavender and Vanilla, and Cedarwood & Jasmine Candles
Another way to make a new home feel personal is to add a beautiful scent. Candles are wonderful for this and we have a gorgeous collection. One of our favourites is our Flora Lane range. Their soy wax creates a longer burn and is a safer option to the paraffin alternatives. We have three Flora Lane candles; Winter Honeysuckle & Elderflower, Lavender and Vanilla, and Cedarwood & Jasmine. All come in beautiful floral-patterned tins.
Lemon Curd, Butterscotch, Gluten Free Stem Ginger and Double Chocolate Chip Bookblock Deli Biscuits
A gift we can’t forget about is food! Yummy treats are always a great option, especially if you aren’t sure about the person’s style or what they need for their new home. We have many food products, but we think our Bookblock Deli biscuit range is exceptionally tasty. Our four choices are Butterscotch, Double Chocolate Chip and Lemon Curd, Gluten Free Stem Ginger, all very moreish! Their beautiful tube packaging with illustrated scenes makes them lovely gifts to look at, as well as eat.
36 Truffle & Praline Chocolates
The same applies to all of our Bookblock Deli chocolates range (saving the best until last!), which all come beautifully packaged as wonderful gifts. Again, we have many choices, but for a housewarming gift we adore our 36 Truffle & Praline Chocolates. You’re guaranteed some brownie points with this box if your loved ones love chocolates!
We hope we’ve helped inspire some ideas on what to buy for a housewarming present. As with all of our gifts, you can send any combination, packed in their own beautiful gift box, directly to their new house. Alternatively, send it to yourself and hand it over in person at the all-important housewarming party!
