subject: The Perfect Ideas For Housewarming Gifts [print this page] Home is one of the basic requirements of living just as food and clothes are.. However more often than not, purchase of a home takes place only after considerable toil and hard work where you save enough for your down payment on a house. Nothing compares to the joy of purchasing a home which is why this special occasion is celebrated and shared by family and friends. The moment rightly calls for a gift and a gift such that adds to the value and joy of having it in your home.
Purchase of housewarming gifts need great planning. It needs just as much planning as the purchase of the house demanded. Deciding on a housewarming gift is no problem if you are very close to the intended recipient. However take a look at some of the housewarming ideas just in case you are not sure of what to get.
If your friend has newly moved into a home, she is likely to need a whole lot of accessories to help her settle down. Kitchen accessories are the best bet in such cases. Kettles, champagne flutes, dinner sets, salad bowls are great housewarming gift ideas. If you do not have a limited budget than you could also go for more expensive items like electric appliances such as blenders or expensive china set. You can also think of getting cushion covers or bedroom rugs which will go well with new homes.
You can also opt for beautiful show pieces that show you care. Picture frames, fragrant candles, magazine racks all speak volumes of the thought that went into the gifts. Many people make the mistake of gifting new home owners with pets. While your friend may be a pet lover, gifting a pet at a time when he still has to settle in his new place will not be appreciated. You could of course go for a goldfish. A new home and a new goldfish can easily be handled.
Plants and flowers are again great ideas. Even if the person is not a garden enthusiast, potted plants do not take much of an effort and are great ways of livening up the room. If none of these ideas seem right for your friend then you can always opt for gift coupons. Gift your friend a gift coupon from a popular store that specializes in home accessories. Still another option is purchase of a gift under a gift exchange program.
