Gifts: 10 Housewarming gifts they’ll love

It’s a special moment when someone gets the keys to their new home and to wish them well a thoughtful gift goes a long way. From glassware to home fragrances, we’ve put together our top ten wonderful housewarming gifts they’re sure to love.

Designer Salt & Pepper Shakers

We all use salt and pepper on a daily basis and often they are always on display in the centre of the dining table, so why not gift a gorgeous Le Creuset salt or pepper mill to the new homeowners? It’s something they’ll use every day and will add a touch of classic style to any tabletop.

Vase

A great vase is an absolute must for adding the finishing touches to any home décor. Our beautiful range of LSA vases are made from artisan mouth-blown glass and have serene contours and exquisite clarity that will make this gift a lasting addition to any home. Bring along a bunch of flowers to the housewarming too to complete this lovely gift.

Luxury Hand Soap & Lotion

When moving house the last thing on your mind is what handwash to put in the bathroom but it’s those little touches that will make all the difference to new surroundings. Treat them to a luxury hand wash or lotion, they will definitely appreciate having a lovely scent in their new bathroom!

Diffusers

That new house smell of freshly painted walls is great, but after a while, it can get overpowering. Help them to settle in by warming up their new home with a refreshing and welcoming fragrance from La Bougie.

Coffee Time

In the rush of the move, everything is packed away and often you can’t find a thing! Make adjusting to their new surroundings easier with a beautiful and practical Caffetiere. They will be so delighted to have a new one when they are rushing around trying to make a coffee in the morning and their old one if stuffed into a box somewhere! Plus a beautiful new porcelain coffee press like this one from Royal Doulton will set a stylish tone to their new kitchen.

Champagne flutes

Moving into a new place is cause for celebration, making it the perfect excuse to buy a new set of glassware to drink all that champagne from! Bring along this stylish set of four champagne flutes and a bottle of bubbly to the housewarming and you’ll be the toast of the party!

Cushions & Throws

Making a house feel like home is all about adding personality and warmth to the space. There is no better way to make a room feel welcoming than with some well-placed cushions and throws. A high quality, cosy throw or cushions make for a wonderful housewarming gift. Choose neutral colours and rich fabrics that will complement any décor. You can’t go wrong with a classic Avoca throw.

Handmade & Irish

There’s something very special about handmade homewares. Give a housewarming gift with a story, personality and unique style like The Teach Candle Holder from Sam Agus Nessa. It is a sweet and thoughtful gift that will be so well received.

Wall Hangings

Simply by hanging a beautifully framed picture you can transform a space and add a sense of personality, making it feel homely instantly. Give them a helping hand to make the space their own with a piece of wall art. Choosing a piece that is already framed will make a huge difference and guarantee it will go straight on the wall. We all have those pictures we meant to get framed but end up stored away so avoid adding to their to-do list and opt for a nicely framed piece of art that ready to go straight on the wall.

Coasters

A new house often means new furniture so help to keep things looking pristine with a beautiful set of handmade coasters from Caulfields County Boards. The natural wood texture and artisan quality of this set will look wonderful on any tabletop.

Tea for two

What Irish home is complete without a great teapot? Whether two or twenty will be living in the house a great teapot is a fantastic and useful housewarming present. We love the robust and classic teapots from Le Creuset, perfect for those long chats where bucket loads of tea are a must!
