13 Housewarming Gifts Your Host Will Love

Cashmere throw blankets seem like a luxury home item you only see in Nancy Meyers movies, which makes this under-$130 option an absolute steal. It’s made with 100 percent Mongolian cashmere and available in gorgeous colors like this cornflower blue. We won’t blame you if you buy one for your own living room, too.

Reaching for the charging wire by your bed is an unnecessary struggle that truly can lead to injuries (we know from experience), so do your pal a favor and end their suffering with a handy charging dock. This style by LumiCharge is much sleeker than a tangle of cords. It’s wireless, compatible with most phone types, and under $25. Feel free to buy in bulk because it’s a gift that works for everyone, from college students to retirees.

There’s regular olive oil that rarely offers excitement to a meal, and then there’s quality olive oil that makes your tastebuds sing. We recently come across a brand that produces the latter by using olives grown solely in California. They just launched a new, Calabrian chili olive oil that’s bound to make you drool. Unlike infusions, Corto crushes the olives and chilies together, which creates a more full-bodied and flavorful dish or dip (or sip, we wouldn’t judge).

Making tea will become a fun, Alice in Wonderland-inspired ritual with this polka dot teapot. It hails from one of our fave brands, Kate Spade, so gift this to your friend who prefers an interior design aesthetic that leans toward whimsy.

They’ve upgraded their home, it’s only right that they upgrade their coffee, too. If they’re caffeine-dependent, they’ll be more than pleased to receive a machine that’ll get their coffee in their bodies quicker. Not only can this Keurig whip up a cup of joe in minutes, but it also has a standalone frother so they can steam milk like a professional barista.

Snail mail isn’t the most popular form of communication these days, which means when we do handwrite a or receive a handwritten note, it’s extra special. Consider gifting them a custom stamp with their new return address to commemorate their home.

We all have that one friend who’s newly obsessed with walking, running, or cycling. Getting them a gift adjacent to their hobby is a great way for them to feel understood. JLab just launched these headphones that were built with athletes in mind. They have noise-canceling sound, are sweat-proof, and have a 52-hour battery.

Make their home the one people walk into and automatically declare “smells so good in here” with this inviting candle. This scent, with notes of green leaves, neroli blossom, and a host of florals, smells as beautiful as it looks. Plus, once the wax runs out, they can repurpose the ceramic as a jar for jewelry or other loose items.

Just admit it: Toilet paper is climate-unfriendly and bidets make it pretty much obsolete. (Bidets also make for a cleaner bum and bathroom.) Gifting an item that revolves around the ceramic throne may not be the most socially acceptable choice, but trust us when we say they’ll be extremely happy with it once the guests are gone.

Even if their new spot is thoroughly heated, sometimes that heat just doesn’t travel down to the toes fast enough. If you’ve ever been sweating up top but numb at the bottom, you know what we mean. If their new home isn’t blessed with heated floors, a pair of socks made to address cold feet will be a welcome accessory come winter. These cozy socks have over 3,600 five-star reviews, with buyers raving that they are warm, comfortable, and hold up well in the wash.

Gifting flowers is classic, but they can get pricey if you want a show-stopping bouquet. You might make more of an impact by buying stems from your local grocery store, arranging them yourself, and displaying them in this beautiful basket that can even be hung on the wall. It was handwoven by Ghanaian artisans, so you’ll also be helping to sustain a traditional cultural craft.

Every house needs a game drawer for rainy days, and what better way to get started than a puzzle? Minted makes puzzles personal — all you have to do is send in a photo, and you’ll get a personal, unique gift that your host or hostess will be thrilled to put together.

Houseplants can be a tough gift. If your host doesn’t have a green thumb, the plant might end up being more trouble than it’s worth. But a houseplant can add a bit of cheer to any space! That’s why we love the Snake Plant Laurentii. They’re a type of succulent and are very resilient and easy to keep alive. Plus, their long, patterned leaves are absolutely beautiful. This option from The Sill arrives in a nursery grow pot nestled inside a ceramic planter, which comes in 12 different colors.
