Housewarming gift guide

New space, fresh start, real gifts.

The classic housewarming gift is salt and bread (for life and abundance) or wine, a candle, a plant. Modern interpretations work the same way: bring something the house will keep using, not something that needs to be displayed. Practical and a little beautiful is the sweet spot. Skip the picture frames waiting for a photo that will never get printed.

12 picks for Housewarming

If you know the new space, gift into the gap. They moved from an apartment to a house with a yard: outdoor pieces. From a kitchen with one drawer to a real kitchen: the upgrade tool. A new bedroom: the lamp or the linens. Match the gift to what's about to change in their daily routine.
