15 of the Best Housewarming Gifts
Housewarming gifts tend to have an ugly reputation: that of unceremoniously ending up in the bin or a heap of donations. It's a shame, really, considering that gifts are synonymous with special occasions and love and therefore deserve some sentimental value attached to them. It's also a waste of money or a loved one's thoughtful gesture, which should bring warmth to a new home. Our advice: different people have different tastes, so the best thing to do before gifting someone is to try to understand their preferences or think of something that you're sure will bring them immense value in their lives and make it hard to dispose of. With that in mind, here are 15 of the best housewarming gifts you could use for inspiration.
