9 Housewarming Presents That You'll Want To Keep All To Yourself
My mother always taught me that one should never show up empty-handed to anyone's home. It doesn't have to be something over the top, just something thoughtful and meaningful to show your appreciation for being hosted in someone's home. It could be some home-cooked food, a bottle of wine, a good book. And for those of you who don't have the time to think of a very personal gift, scroll on for my helpful list of items that I'm sure anyone would be grateful to have in their home.
Moving into a new home can be stressful and it means a huge investment of money. A lot of the time, most people will invest in the big-ticket items that are a must-have to run one's home. If you are close to the people inviting you over, it's always nice to ask them what they need and then try and look around for it. Or you could even opt for gift cards because everyone benefits from this. And if they insist you shouldn't bring anything then it's up to your choice.

If you're looking to give a gift with character these ceramic planters from The Orby House would be super cute. You could always add a small plant that doesn't require too much love and care to those embarking on this new journey. Seems like a wonderful and thoughtful gift to me.
