When going for a housewarming party, it is always a good idea to select a thoughtful gift for the homeowner. Housewarming gifts that are unique as well as practical are always appreciated. Here are a few gift ideas that you can choose from to congratulate the homeowner.

Gift Basket
Gift baskets can contain a variety of things from food products to decorative accessories to even gardening and electrical tools for the new home. You can also think of gifting the homeowner a themed basket containing specific products related to a particular hobby. You can gift a garden themed basket containing gardening tools, a pot, seeds and fertilizer to a person who loves gardening. Similarly, gift an art lover a beautiful painting or some paint supplies and paint brushes.

Scented Candles
If the recipient entertains often, gift aromatic candles along with pretty candle holders. These candles can be placed near the mantelpiece, foyer or in the living room. You can choose from a variety of beautiful candle holders in wrought iron, glass and metal.

Luxury Bedding
Luxury bedding sets can make for great housewarming gifts. Choose from a variety of quality fabrics like plush Egyptian cotton sets, satin and silk sets for the homeowner. Most luxury bedding is tailored to the size of the bed, so you can get it customized. The luxury bedding that you choose can be decorative with embellishments or minimalist, with soft hues and a simple design.

Dinnerware
Dinnerware makes for an ideal and useful gift for every homeowner. You can choose from an array of types like stoneware, glass, melamine, bone china and porcelain. Another great idea is to gift a large crystal or silver bowl that can be used as a centerpiece to complement a causal setting.

Decorative Items
Decorative items like wall hangings, souvenirs or even picture frames in attractive designs are perfect housewarming gifts. You can select from silver plated, wooden and glass photo frames or even club frames in varying sizes. If the recipient has a formal-style decor, choose frames in silver or crystal.

Choose gifts that the homeowner will cherish and find useful.
