What do you put in a housewarming gift basket?

Buying a gift for loved ones who have recently moved home can be difficult. There are so many great housewarming ideas to choose from and each idea will suit individuals differently. We know people love great food so a large proportion of the content within our new home hampers is ‘new home friendly' food which we source from Britain's best award winning producers.

You may ask; what do we mean ‘new home friendly food?' Well, think back to when you last moved home. What sort of products were first on the shopping list? Tea, coffee and possibly some biscuits, maybe a bottle of fizz?

When we're compiling your new home gift hamper we make sure to include these new home essentials, but we ensure they're of the very finest quality from small British producers. We've sourced a Guild of Fine Food Great Taste award winning tea from Lincolnshire, gourmet coffee, award winning jams, cakes and biscuits.

Food items for housewarming gift ideas;

If you're looking to make your own housewarming gift or hamper we'd recommend ‘new home friendly' products, which are items that can be stored easily and don't need cooking – the new home owners may be without a fridge or cooker for a few days, but they're likely to have a kettle and toaster at the ready!

-         Tea (preferably tea bags). We recommend Lincolnshire Tea which is perfect for both hard and soft water areas

-         Champagne or English Sparkling Wine  – It's a celebration after all!

-         Biscuits – we'd opt for a butter shortbread

-         Marmalade or jam – a Seville orange marmalade from Hawkshead Relish or an intense strawberry jam from Essex's Thursday Cottage

-         Savoury cheese biscuits – they pair well with the wine. Our top choice would be west country cheddar biscuits from Grate Britain.

Homeware for housewarming presents

Sending homeware as a moving house gift is a really thoughtful sentiment. There's a huge variety available from small items like corkscrews or new home keyrings through to elaborate coffee machines. Within our own range of home presents we've opted for items suited to all genders and have chosen items we think are of use within any new home. Our favourite homeware include;

Victoria Eggs – London Skyline Tea Towel

Victoria Eggs is a renowned designer from London whose hand drawn British icon illustrations celebrate London and Britishness.  Her 100% organic cotton tea towels, which she creates in Britain, suit all manner of homes.

Mugs – New mugs are always a welcome addition to a new home. Along with the Victoria Egg's tea towel we've also opted for her matching bone china British icon mug. It's the perfect size for tea or coffee and the hand printed finish and luxurious bone china make it feel rather special.

Candles – No new home would be complete without a new scented candle. During those first weeks when the redecorating hasn't reached completion and the moving boxes still clutter the hall and sitting room a few scented candles can help provide a warm and cosy atmosphere amidst the chaos (and help dissipate the smell of new paint!)

We've opted for a lightly scented candle from the hand poured tin range created by artisan candle maker St. Eval, who are based on a farm in North Cornwall. 

Further housewarming gift ideas include;

Other than candles, mugs and tea towels, other thoughtful new home gifts include;

-          Pot plants for indoors or outdoor

-          Picture frames

-          Chair cushions

-          Book ends

-          Chopping boards or cheese boards

-          Coasters

New home gift recommendations

We've compiled a list of our top housewarming gifts for different types of recipient below;

1.       First home Gift

As it's their first home they're likely to be low on homeware so we'd recommend a gift that includes a mug and tea towel such as The British Treats & Homeware Hamper.

2.       Traditional housewarming gift

If you know your recipient would appreciate a traditional house gift we'd recommend a hamper packed in a traditional wicker basket, containing some special sweet and savoury treats and tea. From our range we'd recommend The Luxury Housewarming Gift Basket

3.       Housewarming gift for a couple

Moving home as a couple is likely to be a celebratory event so we'd always recommend sending something with a bottle of very special fizz. We'd recommend our Prosecco Pamper Hamper for couples.

4.       New home gift for a family

Finding a moving home gift for a family can be difficult as it's likely they have an extensive homeware collection already. Opting for something purely food based could be a great option – especially if they have young or teenage children. We'd recommend our Luxury Family Sharing Hamper

5.       New home gift for him

To help with those evening redecorating we'd recommend our Beer and Bar Snacks Hamper

6.       Housewarming gift to send abroad

If you're sending a new home present abroad we'd recommend you look to send a gift containing both very special food treats and homeware products such as mugs or tea towels. That way you can celebrate the move whilst sending them a little taste of Britain. Our top pick new home gift for abroad is The Housewarming Celebration Hamper
