1. “Make a House a Home” Gift Basket

One of the best ways to help your loved one(s) get settled into their new spot is to give them all the cozy things!

You can combine anything that smells good or feels nice into a “cozy basket”:

2. Cleaning Supplies Kit

Maybe not as “fun” as other housewarming gifts but definitely necessary.

One of the first tasks on a new homeowner’s list is to clean almost everything in sight 🙂

You could get them some appliances to make this more fun, like:

Or, consider stocking them up with supplies like:

For an all-natural guide, check out my favorite recipes here. Also, here are tons of more ideas for cleaning and organizing supplies!

3. Home Supplies Basket

Whether you combine these items with the cleaning supplies above or make a stand-alone basket, home supplies are a huge help too! Depending on what your friend/family member may already have, think appliances or supplies like:

You can also consider getting them supplies they’ll inevitably need, like:

4. Your Help!

Offer your help in whatever way makes the most difference:

  • Helping to pack or unpack
  • Helping with the move
  • Taking their children and/or pets for the day
  • Bringing a meal to take care of dinner (see 10 Meals to Take to Others for some helpful ideas!)

You can simply offer your help in conversation or you can make it fun by making a “coupon” for them to redeem. 🙂

This is a huge way to help practically and relieve some of the stress of moving.

5. A Personalized Ornament

I’m a little biased for marking special occasions with a Christmas ornament, because that’s my family tradition for travel souvenirs or major life changes 🙂

But it really is a wonderful gift that is low-clutter, sentimental, and supportive.

Etsy has so many options for creating personalized ornaments:

  • Wooden
  • Hand-stamped metal
  • Custom painted
  • Photos

This also makes a wonderful gift for the “first Christmas” in their new home.

6. Personalized Return Address Labels or Stamp

I can’t decide if the ornament or these return address gifts are my favorite…

Having pre-printed return address labels or a reusable self-inking stamp is such a thoughtful & practical way to celebrate a new home!

I always keep return address labels on hand because it feels so much easier when I need to mail something.

Again, Etsy has a ton of affordable options for labels and for self-inking stamps.

7. Gift Card Tree

If you are part of a group wanting to pitch in for a gift, a set of gift cards is a wonderful idea!

Gather gift cards in any amount to stores that are commonly helpful for settling into a new home:

  • Lowe’s, Home Depot, or any other home supply store
  • Hobby Lobby, TJ Maxx, or a favorite home decor spot
  • Amazon, Walmart or Target for all those miscellaneous needs!
  • A favorite restaurant for easy dinner pick-up
  • Certificates for home services like cleaning, pressure washing, lawn care, etc.

9. Amazon Echo or Echo Dot

This comes to mind because we recently got one! It may not be the best fit for everyone, but I think having a bluetooth speaker and smart home assistance is such a fun addition to a new home.

I love using it for kitchen timers, entertaining my son with kids music, and asking about the weather.

10. “It’s Good to Be Home” print

This “It’s Good to be Home” print was one of the first things I put up in our first home, and that sentiment felt so right. 🙂 I think it is perfect for gifting, as well.

You can download below 8×10 and 4×4 versions to frame, plus a 4×6 that works well as a card or as a print.

You can give this as a simple stand-alone gift or add it to any above!
