Good morning! I’m so excited that it’s already Wednesday! I don’t usually wish time away but my two tall girl friends from Chicago are in town and we’re having a girls’ night out on Friday. I can’t wait to see them!
Over the past couple of weeks, several friends have moved into new second homes. This is a lot of fun for me to see their decorating taste and how their houses changed from their first homes. I don’t know about you, but I have a list of things that I want in my second house that are non-negotiable that weren’t on my first house list. I digress. Here are some of my picks for housewarming gifts for friends.
DIY Candle
I’ve been collecting wine bottles since Lisa posted this tutorial a few months ago. I like it because her tutorial is for unscented candles, and when you aren’t sure what allergies people may have, this is a great go-to. Here are some of my go to fragranced candles, too.
Capri Blue Gardenia & Fig // Voluspa Saijo Persimmon
Magnolia Market Jo’s Signature Scent // Aquiesse Pink Peony // Diptyque Gardenia
Garden Stakes
These DIY plant stakes make the perfect gift right now! I potted a Rosemary plant with a stake and gave it as a gift over the weekend. They’re so easy to make.
Spring Greenery Wreath
I really love greenery wreaths for decorating. I wish I had a front porch so it would be sheltered for this. But, for my friends who do, it’s a perfect gift.
Magnolia Wreath // Boxwood Wreath
Rosemary-Lemon Sea Salt
Put this in a cute container so that the new homeowners can set out in their kitchen. Even better, it keeps for a year.
I also like to bring fresh flowers, a bottle of wine, and/or pizza for dinner.
What are you favorite housewarming gifts to either give or receive?
Love these ideas! We have tons of friends doing the same thing – A lot of them are moving out of the condos and into real houses, which is fun. I think the wreath idea is my favorite :) xoxo, Hannah (www.HannahAtHomeBlog.com)
Wine and candles are my go-to! You can never go wrong with a nice candle because people don't always like to splurge on that for themselves! Xo
This is excellent! That candle is my fav! Have a great day@ xo
Love these ideas!! Wish I had sweet friends that lived on our street or where moving into a new house

These all are great ideas, it never occurred to me to give someone a wreath to instantly add curb appeal and some greenery to the space.
Such great ideas!

Great ideas! I'd love to get a boxwood wreath for our door. If only I could find one that wasn't over $50!
I've always wanted to try my hand at making my own candles. Definitely a cute idea for a gift!
Great ideas! The DIY Candle is brilliant!
