Shopping for a housewarming gift can be tricky - especially when it’s for your most discerning friends. We know the type: they already seem to have everything, they have gorgeous taste, and their house is perfectly styled as it is. So picking a gift can seem really tricky for them.
In this guide, we’ve curated a collection of housewarming gifts that are as stylish and sophisticated as they are practical and heartfelt. From artisanal finds to luxurious home essentials, these ideas will have you arriving with a gift that surprises, delights, and earns its place in their new home.
Option 01: A Statement Board Game
Board games are fun for the whole family - but most of them get shoved in a cupboard because let's be honest, they're often an eyesore to look at.
Let us introduce you to Printworks: a Swedish brand focused on creating artsy, display-worthy everyday objects. From board games to photo albums, they give us everything we could ever dream of and more with their functional pieces.
Option 02: Wine Opener & Cheese Knife Set
Shop Society Paris Wine Opener & Cheese Knife Set
There's little things that are universally loved everyone, but wine and cheese is one of those exceptions.
The combination of a glass of good wine, paired with a slab or two of artisanal cheese is such a delightful combination, we can hardly think of anything we'd rather do instead.
The Society Paris Wine Opener & Cheese Knife Set is the perfect housewarming gift.
Hint: Pair it with a good slice of cheese & a bottle of their favourite wine for extra brownie points. We recommend Farro's, or The Junction for the best local, artisinal cheese & wine options.
Option 03: A Scented Candle & Accessories
No home is complete without a good scented candle. There's something so comforting about a lit candle in the evenings, and when that candle makes the house smell delicious there's really nothing better.
Adding a candle accessory, such as a glass dome, or a wick trimmer, adds a thoughtful and elegant touch.
Option 04: Cocktail Coupes
The Fazeek Cocktail Coupes are having a moment. They've been having a moment for a while now, so we suspect these aren't going anywhere any time soon.
These are the perfect designer homeware gift, sure to impress even the most discerning of friends. Bright, fun, eclectic, and oh-so functional, they are truly everything one could ever want from something as simple as glassware.
Option 05: Statement Linen Table Napkins
Forget your boring white table napkin set - get your friends a napkin set that is sure to make a statement at the table.
Our Flou Waved napkins are just that - interesting enough that they won't be mistaken for yet another plain napkin set, but they come in shades that can be understated, perfect for the friends that are not best friends with bright colours.
Option 06: Statement Serveware Spoons
In a similar vein, if you want to help elevate your friends dining room table when they host - get them some statement serveware.
The Fazeek Waved Salad Spoons are the perfect accompaniment to any side dish - and it's sure to add some interest to even the most plain of a setting.
Option 07: An Apron
Aprons often become one of those things you never get around to purchasing - although you know you desperately need one.
These make the perfect gift, and your host would be delighted. We're sure of it.
The Hommey aprons come in a multitude of colours, perfect for him, her or both.
That's the last of our gift ideas, we hope you enjoyed these ideas and please let us know if you have any other ideas you thought would be perfect!
