Gift ideas for your new home

By

When you move in to your new home, friends and family may choose to buy you a gift or a voucher. It can be really overwhelming on what to purchase, so we have made a small list of products to consider.

Coffee mugs/ coffee pot

What is better than the smell of fresh coffee when you wake in the morning or as you are welcomed into your friend or family member’s house? The aroma of coffee is such a welcoming scent that your guests will instantly feel at home when they come to visit you in your wonderful new home. Therefore why not add a stylish set of coffee mugs or a pot to serve to your guests when they arrive or for you to enjoy that first coffee of the day. You could choose a sleek white or glass set or you could go for a more eclectic/ vintage style.

Coffee machine

A coffee machine is one of the most desired appliances in a home. Getting barrister quality coffee in the comfort of your own home – what could be more perfect? With hundreds of coffee machines on the market there is plenty of choice. Whether you go for a simple filter coffee maker to an all singing/ all dancing machine which gives you a selection of coffees to choose from. You will be the envy of all your friends with a coffee machine taking pride of place in your new kitchen. Even better that you can have a good flow of coffee to keep you going whilst you unpack all of those boxes. 

Bread board

Another scent that is always welcomed in a new home is the smell of freshly baked bread. There is not a warmer, more comforting smell. A breadboard is the perfect place to present/ display and serve the bread. Adding the special touch of personalising the board makes it more of a feature and centrepiece that can be shown off. The perfect way to start your morning by enjoying some warm bread served on a beautifully presented board.

Carefe or decanter

When hosting your new home party and multiple dinner parties you will need a way to serve the wine. Red wine is best when it is left at room temperature and ‘aired’ so using a carafe or decanter will provide an easy and effective way to do this, whilst adding a feature to your dinner table. There is much more impact when serving wine or spirits from a carafe or decanter rather than a bottle therefore these make ideal new home products and gifts.

Vase

Often when moving into a new home you get an abundance of bouquets of flowers. You will therefore need somewhere to hold and display these flowers. Having flowers on display around the home not only can add a lovely natural scent it can also provide a sense of calm and serenity. There is a huge range of vases on the market varying in shapes, colours, sizes and materials. Choosing one that matches your interior scheme will help to provide a feature within your home. Some vases can be a real showstopper in a room.
