One of the most exciting life milestones is moving into a new home, as it offers a new beginning and countless opportunities to personalise your new space.

It’s a chance to celebrate with friends and family, whether it’s their first home or a new apartment. It’s easy to feel a little overwhelmed when it comes to selecting the ideal housewarming gift for

Finding something that is both genuinely useful and feels personal is important, but you don’t want to make the mistake of giving them something too generic or, worse, something they’ll just put in the back of a closet.

The best housewarming gifts are those that are both beautiful and useful, that give their room personality or make their transition easier.

Domino suggests gifting chic drinks such as wines to add to their collection. Even if they’re ordering takeout, a dining room can feel extra-fancy with taper holders and new table linens, and design books can help create a blank canvas. At times, the key to an ideal gift is practicality!

According to Good Housekeeping, money trees are perfect for new homeowners since they provide prosperity and good fortune. A wood tray and cheese knife set is ideal for wine and cheese evenings, and distinctive cactus tealight candles add character to tabletops, which will pair well with Domino’s wine idea.

These things are a great addition to any home because they are ideal for organizing crucial papers and belongings, the website mentioned above further adds.
