Great Housewarming Gifts for Friends & Family

Moving into a new house or apartment can be incredibly stressful, so it's normal to want to celebrate when you've finally finished unpacking all the boxes (or most of the boxes). A housewarming party can be a great way to host your friends and family and show off your new place.

If you're on the other side of it and you have a housewarming party to attend, you might be racking your brain trying to figure out what to bring over as a gift. Flowers feel too predictable and wine feels too impersonal — so what should you bring? We've got you covered! Here are some great housewarming gifts to consider bringing to the next housewarming party you're attending:

A cheese board is such a beautiful gift, because it's both stylish and practical. This acacia cheese board from Lynn & Liana Designs has a gorgeous eco-friendly epoxy on the handle end, which makes it a unique statement piece. If you want to go all out, you can even bring cheese and crackers to enjoy during the housewarming party.

There's nothing better than a house that smells amazing, so a candle is always a great housewarming gift. This small dough bowl candle from Magnolia Soap & Bath Company is dual purpose, since the wooden bowl can be used for decoration after the candle has burned down.
