5 fun housewarming gifts for the person who has everything

By Julie Scagell

If you have a friend or family member moving into a new house, you don’t want to show up for the first time empty-handed. It can be hard to find a gift if they seem to be a person that has everything or it’s the first time you’re visiting their home and aren’t sure of their style. Of course, flowers or a bottle of wine are always welcome, but why not surprise them with something out of the ordinary, something they will look at and remember who gave this most perfect housewarming gift to them. Here are five ideas that will have you standing out from the pack.

We love this gorgeous wood bathmat made our of dark acacia. It’s two feet by two feet and allows anyone stepping out of the shower to have a safe, soft place to step and dry off. It would look gorgeous in any style room and gives the room a spa-like quality that every bathroom deserves.
$30 from Amazon

This Coffee Gator hand grinder is perfect for the coffee enthusiast in your life. It has tons of options for grinding beans to the perfect coarseness, depending on what they prefer. It’s made from stainless steel, so there are no issues with rusting and it is easy to clean whether you are on the go or staying at home. Who doesn’t love a nice, fresh cup of coffee to start the day?
$27 from Amazon

If the new homeowner is a budding home chef, gift them with this drying rack for homemade pasta. You can dry 4.5 pounds of pasta at a time, and the arms fan out to give maximum space for various types of noodles to dry before cooking. Just make sure you’re invited back when they give pasta-making a try!
$42 from Amazon $17 from Walmart

This highly-rated mattress topper is a just that for a reason. It’s made of 100% breathable cotton, so it absorbs sweat and lets you sleep in peace all night long. It’s filled with down-alternative filling, so if there are any allergies, this topper has you covered. Getting a good night’s sleep is so important, and they’ll appreciate that after all the time spent packing and moving.
$34 from Amazon

If the new homeowner is a big grilling fan or likes to cook up entertain and feed lots of guests, they need a reliable meat thermometer that can allow them to track the temperature of their food without checking it all the time. This thermometer will tell the exact internal temperature within two to three seconds, so that they can spend more time entertaining guests.
$9 from Amazon

You’ll be the talk of their next gathering for taking the time and thought to buy something truly unique for their new home. With prices like these, you can pick up one for yourself while you’re at it!

Push your comfort zone with these 5 activities

Indulging in favorite exercise routines—swimming, running, yoga, Pilates—is the optimal way to ensure that staying active and keeping fit remains a joy, not a chore. Still, extending the boundaries of your exercise comfort zone by engaging in activities that may not come naturally can provide its own benefits to both body and mind.

An aversion to firearms, for instance, shouldn't be an obstacle to a friendly game of 'toy' gun shooting and improved head-eye coordination. A secret desire to sing, but no formal voice training, shouldn't prevent a splurge on a professional-grade microphone. The products we've selected, below, illustrate that trying something new doesn't have to be an unrealistic goal or expensive commitment; it only requires the desire to push against accepted parameters—and, ultimately, deepen the lived experience.
