When a friend or loved one buys a home for the first time, congratulating them with a gift is a great way to show them how proud you are. Finding a great gift that goes beyond the ordinary is challenging. A quick online search reveals plenty of options for traditional gift baskets, a popular choice for decades. However, if you want to give the homeowners a memorable gift, you'll have to explore gift basket alternatives that will delight and surprise them.
WhyTraditional Gift Baskets Are A Poor Choice for New Home Buyers
Traditional gift baskets have their place in the world of gift-giving, but they aren't the best choice as a housewarming gift. They often lack the uniqueness that people hope for when presenting a gift. The basket may be filled with items that the new homeowner may not like or want. Unless you purchase and prepare the basket yourself from scratch, store-bought gift baskets may be uninspired and contain generic, low-quality components that are not impressive. Opting for alternatives such as a cheese and charcuterie board is a gift that stands out and creates an experience for the new homeowners to share in their new place.
Housewarming Gift Basket Alternatives
Gift baskets can be tedious, uninspired and unoriginal. First-time homeowners deserve to receive an extraordinary gift that is enjoyable. Whether you know the new homeowners really well or are new neighbors that you want to welcome to the neighborhood, there are housewarming gifts that are interesting and inspiring such as:
Cheese and Charcuterie Boards - Charcuterie is an exceptional alternative to the traditional gift basket. It offers a sophisticated and gourmet experience that features artisan cheese, premium cured meats, dried fruits, nuts and condiments. The blend of flavors and textures gives new homeowners a fun and unique gift to enjoy alone or share with friends.
Wine or Craft Beer Tasting Set - Elevate the housewarming celebration by giving the homeowners top-quality adult beverages. Offering a carefully curated selection of wines or craft beers provides the recipients with a flavorful adventure that allows them to explore new products. Remember to include tasting notes and food pairing suggestions.
Customized Home Decor - Help the new homeowners make their space their own with personalized home decor items such as customized wall art, engraved picture frames, personalized cutting boards or monogrammed throw pillows.
Aromatherapy Diffuser & Essential Oil Gift Set - Gifting essential oils to new homeowners allows them to transform their home into a haven. House-wide aromatherapy fills the living space with a lovely scent and can help with relaxation after a stressful move.
