Key Takeaways
- For housewarming gifts, focus on practical presents that also double as decor, such as decorative dish towels, candles, or cocktail glasses.
- Choose more decorative gifts if you know your recipient’s personal style well, such as wall art or wind chimes to bring good luck.
Choosing the perfect housewarming gift isn’t easy. You want to give something personal, and extra points if it’s something useful. But you also don’t want to clutter their new space with stuff for stuff’s sake.
So, what do you choose? These thoughtful housewarming gift ideas from Beach House Gift Boutique are the perfect way to say “welcome home.”
Make Their House into a Home with Candles
Candles are a classic beach housewarming gift idea for a reason. These affordable gifts turn a house into a home with their soft glow and cozy fragrances! Plus, they fit any decor style, so you needn’t worry about matching their gift to their new space.
Tropical scents like coconut are perfect for beachy tastes, but if you’re unsure about their preferred fragrances, you can get a universally-loved flameless candle or candlesticks!
Celebrate New Beginnings with Cocktail Glasses
Your friend is guaranteed to get a wine bottle (or two!) at their housewarming. That means they’re going to need glassware. Toast to new beginnings and complement their newest collection with fun wine glasses or cocktail glasses!
Not your ordinary glasses, these quirky housewarming gifts feature all sorts of fun colors or sayings, like “Life is better in flip flops.” You’ll also find beach themes like mermaids, flamingos, and colorful sea turtles at Beach House Gift Boutique.
Your giftee will get plenty of use from their glasses. Even if they’re not a wine or cocktail drinker, they can use these glasses for mocktails, to elevate sparkling water or soda, or even use them for individual desserts, such as puddings, affogato, trifles, or tiramisu.
This makes them a thoughtful alternative to perishable housewarming gifts.
Glassware doesn’t necessarily mean a high price point, either. There are glasses for every budget at our beach shop, whether you’re looking for a single, personalized glass or a more budget-friendly set!
Get Dish Towels to Add Function & Style to Their New Kitchen
Everyone needs dish towels for drying dishes, cleaning spills, and wiping hands. But they’re often the last things people think to buy for their new home.
Treat your loved one to the gift of practical comfort and coastal style with beach themed dish towels. They provide immediate usefulness and add instant color and decorative appeal that their kitchen is likely missing. Choose beach house accessories with fun embroidery or cheeky sayings for a quirky housewarming gift that matches their vibe!
Do towels seem too practical? Research actually indicates we should focus more on what’ll provide the most utility or long-term enjoyment instead of only that first “wow” moment. Those moments are fleeting, but your fun-yet-practical items are the gifts that keep on giving!
Bring Luck & Good Fortune with Wind Chimes
Wind chimes are believed to attract positive energy and good luck into a new home, making them one of the most thoughtful beach housewarming gift ideas. But your friend will also appreciate the calm and tranquil atmosphere that their musical notes create as the wind blows.
Enhance their porch or apartment balcony with a design that speaks to their beach-loving heart. We especially love seahorses, dolphins, starfish, sea turtles, and mermaid wind chimes at Beach House Gift Boutique!
Get Them Wall Art to Elevate Their Decor
Blank walls can make a house feel impersonal. But a piece of beach house wall art can help make it feel warm and lived-in!
Be sure to choose imagery that resonates with your recipient for the most thoughtful housewarming gift. Do they dream of being a mermaid? Do they have a cherished memory with shells or sea life? Personalization shows deep consideration and helps the art connect emotionally, serving as a meaningful keepsake that reflects their interests and memories.
Looking for a quirky housewarming gift? Try our budget-friendly beach themed signs as an alternative! They add color with a touch of sass, thanks to sayings, like “Why Limit Happy to an Hour?” and “Mermaids Don’t Do Housework.”
