I don’t know about you, but it seems like lately everyone’s moving into a new apartment, or at least planning to. Or… they’ve been living like they just moved in after transitioning places smack dab in the middle of the pandemic, and haven’t been able to throw a proper get together until now. My roommate and I are actually in the midst of organizing a small housewarming party. It got me thinking about what to give people who are going through such a momentous change.
During my whole thought process, I realized the best way to figure out what to buy others is to think of what I’d like to receive for myself (*hint, hint*). I wracked my brain for ideas that go above and beyond the run-of-the-mill bottle of alcohol or fuzzy throw blanket. After all, thought and care are perhaps the best gifts to receive from a loved one in any situation.
From an electric candle lighter to frozen coffee, it’s guaranteed you won’t show up to their housewarming party with the same box of chocolates as another guest.
Below, find 18 of the most thoughtful and unique housewarming gifts, including personalized and last-minute options, too.
