Unique and useful housewarming gifts they’ll love

By jbudzienski

Few things are as exciting as moving into a new apartment or home. Celebrate your friend or family member with new digs and help them feather their nest with a gift that speaks right to them! In most cases, a plant, candle, nice bottle of wine, or homemade baked good makes for a thoughtful housewarming gift – but sometimes, you might want something more one-of-a-kind for a close friend or someone with more specific tastes. From the martini-maker to the holiday lover to the cold-brew aficionado, this array of goods will help cultivate that sense of home and celebrate the proud new homeowner.

This trendy set by Mixology & Craft (a company founded by two brothers passionate about a good cocktail) is sure to take happy hour up a notch. The perfect addition to a home bar, it comes with a weighted martini shaker, strainer, Japanese jigger, and exclusive cocktail recipe cards. Crafted of professional stainless steel, it will stay rust and leak-free after years of martinis and margaritas. Bonus: it’s packaged in a modern, compact tube container for easy gifting.

Few things say “home for the holidays” like the warm glow of candles in the window. Give the gift of a welcoming beacon with this electric window candle, which comes with a pre-installed bulb, a spare bulb, and a suction cup holder to keep candle lights in place. With built-in sensors to turn the candle on at dusk and off at dawn, homeowners won’t have to worry about accidentally leaving the light on.

This 2-in-1 baking sheet and rack by Checkered Chef makes a great gift for the home chef who’s organizing their new kitchen. This pan does it all: baking, cooking, grilling, roasting, and cooling. Durably made, the stainless steel allows for even heat conductivity (i.e., no burnt cookie bottoms), and the rolled pan edges add strength to prevent warping. It also includes a silicone baking mat, helpful to prevent sticking, and is dishwasher safe.

This cold brew coffee maker by Coffee Gator truly has it all! Made of borosilicate glass (a sturdy BPA-free glass that easily handles temperature changes), it has a leak-proof lid, an easy-clean filter cap, a super-fine mesh filter, and a scoop and funnel for measuring ease. This design puts the environment first with reusable filters, and is also easy to clean: simply unscrew the cap at the base of the filter and flush out the grounds.

The old adage tends to be true – people spend most of their time in the kitchen! Take the edge off the nightly dishwashing grind with this eco-friendly, anti-fatigue mat by Sky Solutions. Equal parts supportive and soft, it’s an ergonomic dream. Previous reviewers report this mat is a great remedy for tired feet, and also blends seamlessly into kitchen decor.

Whether they’re renting their first apartment, buying a starter home, or just built their custom dream home, anyone fresh off a move will appreciate a gift that says “Congratulations on your new home – may you have many happy memories here!” Spruce up their kitchen with a fresh new sheet pan, add a dose of relaxation with an anti-fatigue mat, or help them light up their windows during the holiday season. Throw any one of these picks in a gift bag, add tissue paper and a card, and you’re ready to go!
