Essential Gifts For New Homeowners
Ever since moving into my own apartment, I finally get it. The joy of searching for and choosing appliances, a new set of plates and silverware, or even just a set of towels is unmatched thrill.
And while I’m not a homeowner just yet, I find the same thrill in getting a new food processor as I do a new purse. Plus, a lot of my friends are at the age where they’re settling into their first homes.
Whether you’re Christmas shopping for newlyweds or heading out to a housewarming party, adulthood is pretty much just buying your friends gifts and going to different celebrations at each other’s houses.
Sadly, one of the go-to gifts for housewarming parties is a bottle of wine. And while that’s perfectly sufficient, it’s really impersonal.
If you have a friend who’s recently moved into a new home, they’re probably desperately wishing for someone to help them fill their space. And, sure, a gift card is always an option…but giving them something to unwrap is so much more exciting.
It shows you put time and effort into the gift. You got creative and thought about their taste and their needs. Besides, you look like a better person in the end.
Here are some must-have gifts for new homeowners this year!
Le Creuset Signature Round Dutch Oven
Almost any girl I’ve spoken to yearns for a Le Creuset Dutch Oven. It made the Dutch Oven popular again, which honestly is not an easy feat.
You will use your Le Creuset piece for life. A constant in your cooking collection, you can enjoy baking, braising, roasting, and slow cooking in one convenient pot.
This is a staple for your kitchen, plus it comes in a bunch of different cute colors that you can choose from!
KitchenAid Deluxe 4.5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer
Just about every kitchen across America has a KitchenAid Stand Mixer. Essential for your baking adventures, this stand mixer does everything you need. It features multiple attachments to aid with pasta making, cheese shredding, vegetable spiralizing, and more — you can accomplish anything with your KitchenAid.
This is one of my go-to gifts for newlyweds and new homeowners because it will last them a lifetime…plus, it gives everyone an excuse to break in their kitchen! My life changed when I got a stand mixer, and theirs will too.
Caraway Knife and Utensil Set
You may roll your eyes at the amount of kitchenware I recommend in this article…but ask anyone who’s moved recently, and they’ll tell you the same. There is never a bad time to be gifted fine kitchen materials: whether that’s a set of pans, a nice dutch oven, or chef’s knives.
This knife and utensil set from Caraway is everything you need in a kitchen. It eliminates the need for fancy knives and it’s already organized and compact enough for their counter. The point of gifts for new homeowners is to save them money on things they need and will actually use.
Homecourt Hosting Set
What I love about Homecourt is the delightful scent of nearly every product they offer. Perfect for the design-conscious person in your life, Homecourt is all about making your home feel luxurious.
This hosting set will make sure your new homeowner is living the life. There’s dish soap, a candle, hand wash, and surface cleaner, all availabe in an amazing scent of your choice.
Boll And Branch 4-Pillow Starter Bundle
Boll and Branch is a fantastic bedding company that carries hotel quality, premium sheets. With simplistic, stylish designs and cloud-like threads, you’ll never use another brand again.
A new homeowner underestimates the way sheets can improve your quality of life. Change the way they live with a great set of essential sheets.
Our Place Always Pan 2.0
And we’re back to the kitchenware! I can’t help it. A pan that has 10 functions in one, you’ll only need this one pan for any of your cooking needs.
When I use this pan, I actually look forward to cooking meals — so there’s no doubt that it works wonders. It’s made with 100% post-consumer recycled aluminum and no potentially harmful toxins, so it’s good for the environment.
Anthropologie Willa Cotton Woven Throw Blanket
Now, I know this may be a risky choice because you’re not always privy to everyone’s style…but this cozy cotton blanket is adorable — talk about pure Anthro magic. Reminiscent of a vintage blanket, but much more cost effective.
Anything from Anthropologie Home is a great gift, so shop around while you’re there.
