Gifts for a New Home

So your friends or family members have just moved house to a swanky new pad and you want a gift to offer congratulations?  Fear not my brave present shopper, we’ve dug up a great selection of house warming gifts:


wine rack

Drinking Up the Wall
Flow Wine Rack
If your friends have been foolish enough to purchase a new pad that doesn’t come with it’s own wine cellar (who would do such a thing?) then they’ll need somewhere nice to keep their wine.  This rack mounts it on the well so it’s decorative yet accessible.

paper striper

Get a Stripper!
Powerbase Xtreme Wallpaper Stripper - 2000W
A new home generally means it’s time for some serious DIY, so some kit to help get the job done is always appreciated.  Chances are the herbets who lived in the house before didn’t have the greatest taste in the world so there’s a need to get rid of the horrific wallpaper they had.  This little tool will get the job done in half the time.  An even better gift if your friends are expecting you to pitch in with the DIY.

lamp

I Love Lamp!
Aurora Table Lamp
Admittedly this isn’t a particularly cheap lamp, but it is rather lovely you have to admit.  Cast in white ceramics it will blend with most styles of home and add some classy illumination to any room.

£95.00

lemon tree When Life Gives You Lemons
Eureka Lemon Tree
In a lot of cases a new home also means a new garden, so consider a gift for the outside as well.  Planting a tree is a fantastic idea in a new home as the inhabitants can watch it grow through out their stay. A lemon tree is even better as your giftee can enjoy the fruits of your gift in a lemon meringue of a gin and tonic.

hawaii poster

Poster Present
Hawaiian Sunset Poster
A poster makes a great housewarming gift, particularly if you part with a little extra cash and get it framed.  Obviously consider the tastes of the person you’re buying for, my Nan hasn’t forgiven me for the Slipknot poster I got her when she moved in the old folks home! This choice should suit most people’s tastes though, a beautiful Hawaiian sunset, very True Romance, it would look great on a white wall.

gnomeo

No Place Like Gnome
Paint Your own Gnomeo & Juliet
A bearded midget and a fair maiden, two unlikely lovers I grant you, but they will liven up any garden, especially if painted correctly.  Either give them as they are for a fun project, or paint them yourself to give a personnel touch to the gift.

nastro Case of the Booze
Peroni Nastro Azzuri Case
After moving, the fridge is likely to be pretty bare, that means stocking up on the essentials like lettuce, ketchup, ham and obviously beer.  As it’s a time of celebration get them some good stuff, a case of nastro, perfect for accompanying a bit of pasta or pizza.
