When somebody you know moves into their own home or even if they start renting a new property, you want to make sure that you offer your support by treating them to a new home gift. Just like any other gift, there are some essential etiquette ‘rules’ that you need to keep in mind. Here are some guidelines as well as gift ideas.

Practice proper etiquette

Firstly, you should always wait to be invited to visit. You should never invite yourself because they might not be prepared for guests. Some people unpack quickly while other people take a few months to get settled. Once they do invite you, make sure that you always communicate. Don’t be afraid to ask them if they need help with food, drinks and anything else that they might need. Make sure that you show up on time, or early if you are helping with the preparations. If you are going to be late, at least make sure that you call to let them know.

Practical gifts

Many people love a practical new home gift because it is something that they need and they’ll think of you each time that they use your gift. For example, anything they could need like cutlery, crockery, glassware, linens and similar items are all great. Small appliances like an iron or hand vacuum or even a toaster is great if you know that it is something that they need. If they already have everything that they need, you could opt for a practical gift such as a wine hamper that includes a classy wine opener. Alternatively, you could choose a cheese hamper that includes cheese cutting and serving tools. There are plenty of fantastic options out there.

Luxurious gifts

For a new home gift that is on the more luxurious side, you don’t have to look far. There are plenty of fabulous gift hampers that include various luxurious items for the home and to make them feel pampered. Pamper hampers are an excellent example and they are perfect for those who already have a fully furnished and stocked home. Champagne gifts are also very luxurious and, since this a reason to celebrate, they make an excellent choice! Many champagne gifts come paired with luxury chocolates which makes these gifts even more irresistible.

Couple gifts

While some people enjoy living on their own, others move in together as couples. In this case, you should always make sure that your new home gift is one that is designed for couples. Think about a picnic hamper or a food hamper filled with sweet and savoury goodies as well as a bottle or two of wine.

Your new home gift does not need to break the bank. You can easily shop according to your budget when shopping online. Instead of spending hours running from shop to shop, you can browse online and whenever it is most convenient for you.
