5 Christmas Gift Ideas for New House Owners

Moving to a new house, apartment, or on your own for the first time is both a stressful and exciting time. Especially during the holiday season. Thinking about moving during this time of the year inspired me to create a list of five gift ideas for new house owners or if someone you know moved out on their own earlier this year. The gifts in this post are meant as Christmas gifts, but they could be used for house warming gifts if you know someone moved during the holiday season.

Holiday Scented Candle

Scented candles are popular and, during this time of year, a holiday scented candle can be a great house warming or Christmas present for a new home owner or someone who lives on their own. If you do not know what kind of scents your gift’s recipient likes, I would suggest purchasing a candle set with a variety of scents. That way they can enjoy a scented candle as well as possibly find a new favorite scent. Although I like the idea of receiving a holiday scented candle, this gift may not be suitable for everyone, especially if someone lives on their own, but may live with roommates. If this is the case, it is best if you ask if their roommates mind scented candles.

Fine Glassware

When someone who owns their own home, they may want to invite people over. If they move into a house near Christmas, then they may not have all the necessary items to entertain with. This is why a set of fine glassware would be useful. That way they won’t need to find a set during this very busy shopping time of the year.

 

Crystal or Ceramic Ornament

Since the holidays are the time of the year when new home owners want to decorate their homes for the holidays, giving an ornament for their Christmas tree would be a thoughtful idea. Instead of giving an ornament they could purchase readily at a local store, look for one that is made out of ceramic or crystal.

A Holiday Wreath Made With Real Foliage

Today, people normally buy a holiday wreath to decorate their home with. They normally purchase one made out of fake foliage such as pine branches and poinsettias. They are not only less expensive than one made out of real foliage, they can also be used repeatedly for multiple years. This is why I think a nice holiday gift idea for a new home owner is a wreath made with real foliage. Also, a decorative centerpiece made with real foliage is also a great idea as well.

 

Place Mats, Cloth Napkins, or Table Cloths

If someone is trying to purchase new dinner wear for their home and entertains a lot, look for place mats, cloth napkins, and/or table cloths. If the person is starting their search for dinnerware without any plates, place mats, ect. then I recommend looking for them in a color that will work year round. If the person has these types of place mats, napkins, and table cloths, then look into buying holiday themed ones as well.

 

Well, that’s all for now! Thank you for reading!
