When looking for a new home gift, it can be hard to know which route to go down. Do  you pick something personal or something practical? Something functional or something that looks good? Something they can use now, or something they can hold on to? Perhaps the challenge is finding something other than the options we so often see online (I can guarantee someone has already got them a chopping board!) For that reason, here at Baskets Galore, we have been busy creating a range of new home gifts, designed to suit all tastes. When creating these New Home Gifts, we referred to what we call the “Great House-warming Trifecta.” This means our gifts are thoughtful, beautifully designed and full of useful products that the recipient will be able to use.

Thoughtful

Each of our New Home Gifts contain a decorative East of India Ornament, printed with the message “May your home know Joy, every room hold laughter and every window open to great possibilities.” This ornament would be the perfect addition to the mantelpiece or the bedside table in the new home, and is something that the recipient can cherish for years to come.  On top of this, each new home gift contains a candle in a Home Sweet Home Tin, or a diffuser, or both! Nothing quite makes us feel at home like a candle, and the new home scent is sure to help the recipients settle in in no time.

Beautifully Designed

There is a story behind each and every one of our baskets, and our New Home Gifts are no exception. Based on the theme, each gift is designed using a particular colour scheme. Each New Home Gift is tied together with a green ribbon and a green new home gift card, to signify their New Beginning.

New Home Housewarming Gift

This is our New Home House-warming Gift. It is designed with neutral tones and warm colours in the hope of making the recipients feel at home.

Practical

Last but definitely not least, these new home gifts are stacked with products that the recipient will not only love but products that they will also use on a daily basis. It’s an unspoken rule that you should offer your guests a refreshment, or a quick snack when they come to your home. This stems from way back when the journey between people’s houses was a lot longer. However, it stuck, and it’s certainly a tradition that I can get on board with. Our New Home Gifts are filled with teas, coffees, dark chocolate treats, and snacks (both sweet and savoury), perfect for sharing among guests, or scoffing alone after a long day of unpacking. Our more expensive new home gifts also include Spanish honey, which comes presented in a beautiful terracotta jar. I once read that every home should have a jar of honey. After all, it can be used as a sweetener, it can help to reduce allergy symptoms and can be a remedy for a sore throat (according to my mum anyway). Versatile and a great addition to any new home.  

Whether it be for a first time buyer, a family of 5 or a married couple who have retired to a hot country (the dream), these New Home Gifts have something for everyone. Moving House is an exciting time, but it is also a daunting task. The perfect New Home Gift can help to ease the transition, and ensure the recipient feels right at home.
