51 Best Housewarming Gifts They’ll Actually Use
Tracking down the best housewarming gifts can be almost as tough as finding the right space: How much should you spend? (Under $25 is totally fine). Do you prioritize the kitchen, the living room, or the bathroom? (All work as long as the gift doesn’t take up too much space.) And after days of looking, should you just give up entirely? (Absolutely not.)
We assure you, the perfect present is out there. The best housewarming gifts can be practical, but don’t be afraid to have fun. Set your sights on a unique treat they’ll love but would never think to buy themselves, like a quirky wine holder (and if it ends up on the white elephant table? Well, you’ve saved them the work of shopping). Or consider some sort of tech gift or space-saving gadget that’ll help them settle right into that fresh apartment. And for people who have everything or the hard-to-shop-for friends? A personalized present like a custom illustration of their abode is the most thoughtful way to go.
To make your search easier, we asked Glamour editors and folks who have recently moved what the best housewarming gifts they received were. From TikTok famous Amazon bestsellers like Our Place’s viral pan to an elevated French press, there’s a little something to impress any new homeowner (or apartment tenant). There are even gifts for a college student who recently moved out of the dorm and plenty of inexpensive gifts for that friend of a friend who says all are welcome. And—bonus!—since so many of these gems are universally useful, now’s the time to scoop up those holiday gifts. You’ll find great gifts for women, as well as the men on your list.
