The Best Housewarming Gifts This Summer

If you have friends or family who are moving soon, they’re in good company. According to U.S. News, the peak moving season is between May and September — the summer. That means you might have quite a few housewarming parties to go to this season. With so many parties, how do you make sure you find the right gift for everyone?

The good news is, there are a near endless variety of gifts to choose from, whether you’re looking for something classic or modern. Here are a few top picks of our favorite housewarming gifts this summer:

1. Handmade Gifts

Handmade, but functional, gifts are a great way to show your friends or loved ones that you really know them and what they love. For example, if you are good at working with wood, a handmade stirring spoon or cutting board can be a beautiful addition to any kitchen. Infused olive oils, such as garlic or herb-infused oils, can also be meaningful gifts.

If you have old records laying around (or if there’s a nearby consignment store that sells them), they are easy to heat up and mold into funky, unique bowls for keys or other knick knacks. Of course, something like homemade brownie mixes or other recipes with ingredients can make the first couple of meals in the new house much easier.

2. Complements to Their Beverages

What’s a housewarming without a great delicious glass of wine or whiskey? There are some great gifts to go along with their favorite drink. If your friend is a whiskey lover, you can redefine “on the rocks” with some actual stones to freeze and keep their drink cold. Or, if they prefer good ol’ fashioned ice, a wedge mold can keep their drink cold for quite a long time.

For the wine lovers in your life, there are some great, creative options to choose from. There are any number of unique wine stoppers that will let your friend save their wine and not worry about keeping their cork. Electric wine bottle openers are also a great option, especially for those who struggle to open their bottles. And if there’s wine at the housewarming party, you can make sure everyone remembers which glass is theirs with fun wine glass identifiers!

3. Beautiful Gourmet Gift Baskets

For the ultimate housewarming gift this summer, consider a gourmet gift basket. Gift baskets can be filled with any number of goodies, from baked goods to candy to nuts and fruits to even spa gifts. No matter your loved one’s tastes or preferences, gift baskets, towers and trays can liven up a housewarming party!
