Thoughtful gifting
Housewarming gifts that feel like them
For the first cuppa, the empty shelf and the friend who already has the essentials. A few thoughtful ways to say welcome home.
The boxes are still stacked in the hallway, nobody knows where the teaspoons are, and the kettle has already earned its keep. A good housewarming gift belongs in that moment: useful, personal and easy to find a home for. Start with something your friend actually enjoys, then choose a piece that fits their space.
01
For the windowsill they have already claimed
The Sass & Belle Mini Handle Planter brings an earthy touch without taking over a shelf. Blush, brick and sand give you three gentle colour directions to choose from. It is sold individually, so pick their favourite shade rather than assuming the photograph shows a set.
02
For the first proper tea break
A Rainbow Mug is a cheerful choice for someone who likes a little colour with their cuppa. The listed 360ml capacity gives it a different feel from a smaller coffee cup. Add a note promising to bring the biscuits when the unpacking is done.
03
For a home with a small cupboard
Fred’s Babushkups are three nesting glasses in different sizes. That makes them a playful option for someone who appreciates clever storage. They are a mixed-size trio, so choose them for character and versatility rather than as three identical dinner glasses.
04
For the kitchen that doubles as everything
The Creative Tops willow phone and tablet stand gives their device a place while they follow a recipe or catch up over coffee. Its wood grain adds warmth to a worktop. Check the fit with their device and case before choosing it as a gift.
A little welcome-home pairing
Choose the Rainbow Mug and a Mini Handle Planter for a bright kitchen corner. Keep the pot empty so they can choose their own plant, then tuck a personal message into the mug. These are separate items for you to put together, rather than a prepacked gift set.
A couple of little questions
What if I do not know their decorating style?
Start with what they use. A favourite drink, a regular hobby or a practical problem gives you a stronger clue than guessing their wall colours.
Should I bring a plant with the pot?
Only if you know they would like one. An empty decorative planter leaves the choice of plant, size and care routine to them. Plants are not included with these picks.
