What Is a Housewarming Gift?
A housewarming gift is given on your first visit to someone's new home or apartment — or it may be sent after they’ve moved in,
It’s a gift that helps celebrate their new space and make it feel like “home.”
Why Should You Give Housewarming Gifts?
You may have grown up in a culture where housewarming gifts were traditional — just the way things were done.
Or maybe your mom always coached you to never show up to someone’s house empty-handed.
Either way, buying a house is a celebration!
And what better way to celebrate a friend’s or associate's new home than with a meaningful gift?
