The Best Housewarming Gifts of 2026

Housewarming Gift Guide Banner

Finding the best housewarming present may seem like a daunting task at first, especially if you’re shopping for a new neighbour you’ve only met once or twice. What do they like? How are they going to decorate their new place? What would they find most useful? 

The truth is, there are a few gift ideas that work for pretty much anyone settling into a new home and we’ve compiled a list to make your gift shopping a little easier.

Our Top Nine Housewarming Gift Ideas for the new homeowner in your life:

1. A plant

Who doesn’t like a touch of green in their homes? From reduced stress levels to improved productivity, better air quality and more: an indoor plant is a housewarming gift that keeps on giving thanks to its many benefits. 

Beautiful and easy to take care of, orchids are a great plant to give, as are bamboo plants and peace lilies. Succulents are always a safe choice as well, while bonsai trees or even carnivorous plants are great for seasoned plant lovers.

2. A bottle of wine

Moving to a new home is a great reason to pop open a bottle of wine. Whether you’re congratulating a close friend or welcoming a neighbour to your street, a well-chosen wine is a foolproof present.

To make your housewarming gift extra special, pair it with a set of wine glasses or put together a DIY gift hamper with crackers, jam, cheese, nuts… all the best snacks to celebrate the move.

3. Home fragrances

Whether it’s a candle, a diffuser or a room spray, everybody loves home fragrances. From sweet and floral to fresh and fruity or even spicy and exotic, the right scent can turn any home into a relaxing, fragrant haven.

Choose a statement candle for a fragrance gift that doubles as decor, opt for a convenient scented spray or surprise the new homeowner with an essential oil diffuser so they can try out different scents for different moods.

4. A crockpot

A crockpot is the best housewarming gift for anyone who loves to entertain or has a big family to feed. With the Crockpot Express XL Multi-Cooker, they can easily prepare any meal on the menu for up to 12 people — whether it’s pressure cooked, slow cooked, seared or sautéed – all using one single appliance. It also comes with a recipe book for a 2-in-1 housewarming present!

Of course, not everyone needs a pot with a huge capacity of 7.6 L. That’s why our collection of multicookers includes smaller pots that are just as convenient and versatile, perfect for someone moving out on their own or with a partner.

5. An air fryer

An air fryer is one of those appliances that although not crucial, anyone would love to have in their kitchen. In other words, the ideal present for any occasion.

The Ninja Air Fryer Max XL can cook any food from frozen to crispy in minutes, using 75% less fat than traditional frying methods for the ultimate guilt-free fried meals. It has a capacity of 5.2L (it can fit nearly a kilo of French fries!) and the accessories are all dishwasher safe, making it a practical housewarming gift for families.

6. A Google Nest Mini

If a kitchen gadget isn’t exactly what you had in mind and you wanted to go with something a bit techier instead, a Google Nest Mini might just be the right choice.

This small device offers a two times stronger bass than the original Mini, as well as voice recognition that works even at a distance. Whether it’s their favourite tunes, a podcast or the daily news, with a Mini speaker, they can easily put on whatever they and set the tone for their new home.

7. A Nutribullet juicer

Moving takes a lot of energy, so what better than a nutritious glass of homemade juice to feel re-energised and like a new person? Compact yet powerful, the Nutribullet Slow Juicer is an excellent housewarming gift for a smaller place.

Fully equipped with a high-torque, low-speed motor and a feed chute that fits large amounts of produce, this juicer effortlessly breaks down even the toughest fruit and veg, squeezing out maximum juice and minimising waste. Plus, it’s incredibly quiet so whether they’re craving a fresh drink at the break of dawn or late at night, they can rest assured no one’s sleep will be interrupted.

8. A vacuum cleaner

Looking for a useful gift for a homeowner with a four-legged companion? Well, look no further. A vacuum cleaner will help keep their new place spotless no matter how furry their little pet is.

Our range of stick and handheld vacuums features options for every budget, from the wallet-friendly Shark ION™ W1 Cord-Free Handheld Vacuum to the premium Dyson Gen5detect™ Absolute. And if you’re shopping for someone who’s always on the go, why not choose a robotic vacuum to do the cleaning for them?

9. Pots and pans

For a housewarming gift you know they’ll use, choose a high-quality pot or pan for hassle-free cooking and cleaning. Smeg's Non-stick Saucepan makes for a great present: not only does it work in the oven and on all cooktops to make a variety of meals, but the 50s-inspired design adds a unique touch to any kitchen.

And the options don’t end there. From casserole dishes to deep pans, woks and sets, our cookware collection has it all.
