Gourmet Housewarming Gift Basket
5 Creative Housewarming Gift Ideas That Won’t Hurt Your Pocket
You’ve been invited to a housewarming party of a very close friend and his/her family and you don’t know what to give them for their new home.
Should you give a doormat with a “Welcome” on it? How about a gift basket with your friend’s favorite wine and chocolates? Or a wall clock perhaps? Too common?
It’s true that buying for someone else’s home may be difficult especially if you are also tied onto a strict budget. If you have set a budget for a housewarming gift, you don’t need to worry about the item that you can get with a limited amount. The key is creativity and you can find housewarming gifts that are creative, unique and less than $50.
Here are some ideas:
Gourmet Gift Baskets
Okay, if you think that gift baskets are not creative enough, think again. You can either look online for these or create your own to personalize the contents. Think outside of the box and think of what your friend and his/her family enjoy munching and using in the kitchen. This is one sure way of pleasing everyone and they will appreciate you for that.
You can get the entire family a basket filled with cookies, wine, cheeses, fruits and add-ons such as kitchen utensils, cutlery, shot glasses or coasters. As for the basket, you can replace the regular wicker basket with a picnic basket or a colorful canvass tote bag that the lady of the house can use for her grocery shopping.
Picture Gallery Frames
These are really great for hanging on the walls of a new house. If you have photos of the family, you can frame them already before you give them the gift. This is truly a thoughtful gift especially if you have access to some of their photos.
Photo frames may sound too regular, but this type of photo frame can be a conversation piece or a focal point in the home since it showcases the family which makes the gift really homey.
Barbecue and Grilling Tools
You’ll never know when your friend’s family will have a barbecue party at their backyard. So be the first to give them the tools of the trade. If you have the budget for it, you can give the entire set- barbecue grill and all. Barbecue tools are great gift since these are very useful and practical to have especially for families and their new homes. Make sure to get the essential tools or might as well give them a set with barbecue brush, tongs, spatula and long grilling fork.
Herb Garden
Now, don’t be discouraged to give your friend’s family a living thing. Relax, it’s only herbs and your friend will truly need it for cooking. You may look for a set of 3 herbs planted in individual pots or you can buy them individually and just create your own set. You can find these on the internet if you’ll browse for creative housewarming gifts. If you’re not internet savvy, you can look for these in your regular farmer’s market or from a local herb store.
Personalized Coat Hangers
Coat hangers are quite underrated. But you may find some of them that are all jazzed up and personalized via online gift stores. You can order and have them personalized by adding your friend’s last name or their initials to it.
It’s really fun to buy something for a friend’s house. Don’t be discouraged of the prices and the items that you can find offline or online because there are creative gifts that you can give away without putting too much effort and price on it.
