Unforgettable Housewarming Gifts to Give This Summer

Unforgettable Housewarming Gifts to Give This Summer

Author: C. W.

Summer is typically one of the busiest times of the year to move. Naturally, that means you may have an influx of family and friends to treat to housewarming gifts throughout the season.


Not only does this mean your schedule is likely to fill up with housewarming parties galore, but you’ll also have to snap up unique gifts for each — at least if you want to have a little fun selecting something distinctive for every person. The big challenge rests in finding something that isn’t just suitable for the occasion, but also useful to them. You want to be the person that comes through in a big way.


That doesn’t mean a bottle of bubbly isn’t welcome, of course. However, there’s always room to surprise them with something extra thoughtful. These are the gifts that are sure to leave a lasting impression on your lucky recipients.


A Calming Scent


Candles not only emit a beautiful glow but can scent the air with something equally wonderful. Try a warm vanilla fragrance when you want to express your happiness for them and deliver wishes of warmth and caring. There’s an innate simplicity about vanilla and that makes it a welcome choice for anyone who’s just dealt with the complexity of a big move. Vanilla is a grounding, soothing, and calming scent that will help them ease into the comfort of their new abode. The Apotheke Saffron Vanilla Candle is a lovely choice they’re sure to appreciate.

The Grandest Roses


A rose bouquet is always a delightful, no-fail choice for a special occasion. While the red variety is typically associated with love, passion, and romance, roses of other colors convey messages of joy, hope, happiness, and well wishes. The Multicolor Rose Garden is a delight, brimming with a vibrant medley of yellows, reds, peaches, lilacs, whites, and maroons. They’ll fall in love at first sight and no doubt they’ll be delighted by the keepsake globe vase in which it arrives. It’s the perfect centerpiece for their housewarming dinner.

A Stunning Orchid


Few can resist the timeless beauty of the humble orchid. This radiant flower is symbolic of royalty, class, dignity, and admiration. It’s a lovely addition to any home, its radiant hue adding a pop of fashionable style to any space. The 2-Stem Phalaenopsis is nestled in a Sharona pot, ready for gifting and certain to make this special occasion positively unforgettable.

Lush Hand Soap


Scent is truly personal, yet there are some fragrances that are universally appreciated. Such is the case with Apotheke White Vetiver Liquid Soap, marrying notes of cashmere and lilac with eucalyptus and sandalwood for a blend that is at once warm and crisp. Everyone loves incorporating a little luxury into their lives, and a soap made with the finest ingredients — think aloe vera and essential oils — is just perfect for using in the master bathroom or the powder room.

The Sweetest Thing


There are few things sweeter and more welcome than the gift of chocolate. The COCO Five Bar Milk Collection offers a variety of the company’s most beloved single-origin bars, each crafted with South American cacao. Beautifully presented in a box featuring an original collage by French duo Atelier Bingo. Inside you will find a flavor for everyone: Colombian Milk, Isle of Skye Sea Salt Milk, Salted Caramel, Rhubarb & Ginger, and Orange. Talk about a treat.

A Sunny Flower


Sunflowers instantly call to mind sunshine, blue skies, and feelings of pure happiness and joy. A radiant expression of optimism, the uplifting flower exhibits a sense of natural beauty. In nature, it’s also symbolic of longevity, devotion, and admiration, all positive sentiments that send a thoughtful message to your housewarming host. The delightful Fire Island arrangement inspired by a sunset at the iconic summer getaway spot, is sure to delight them. Vibrant yellow sunflowers, peach roses, and firey orange Calla lilies are the focus of this gorgeous bouquet.
