So you want to share a warm welcome to a new neighbor or maybe you’re celebrating the fresh start for a loved one. Don’t waste time racking your brain for the perfect housewarming gift ideas. Instead, stick to something simple: a themed housewarming gift basket that is super simple to put together, but shows you took the time with a personal touch.
The possibilities for where you take your gift baskets are truly endless, but in the original post, MKR shares a basket with a kitchen theme as inspiration. Being the room that’s considered to be the heart of the home (I couldn’t agree more!), a kitchen’s items are both bright, cheery, and most importantly items your new neighbor will actually use! Another plus? None of the items will break the bank.
As you’re thinking of items to include in your gift basket, don’t forget about the basket/tote bag/package itself. MKR placed a gorgeous copper colander inside a simple wire basket that serves as the perfect vessel for the kitchen theme. And inside, she placed an array of treats including crisp tea towels, a marble citrus reamer, salt cellar full of gingered candies and delicious-smelling dish soaps and hand lotions (because who doesn’t love more of those!).
Gift baskets make for great housewarming gift ideas all year around, but can also be the perfect thought for Mother’s Day, a congratulations for an engagement, a basket for your bestie’s breakup, etc. Happy gift basket building! Cheers, Kat
What a great idea! I love to give a pot with pasta and sauce in it. But this would be awesome to change it up!
