8 housewarming gifts that won't be regifted

Finding the perfect housewarming gift is no easy job!

We've put together a list of some of the best housewarming gifts on the market (according to us!)

Let us know what you think and tell us what you'd like to receive when moving to a new home?

#1 A new, stylish cutting board.


When they're moving house, tell your friends to throw away those manky old, cut-up chopping boards!

Although Chopping boards are simple, they are always useful and will be something that won't end up at the back of a cuboard.



What about buying one of these boards?


This one is from We heart this

  




#2 A Unique Bottle Opener. 

A home can never have too many bottle-openers! And if the owners are anything like me, they will always lose their bottle-opener at the very worst times! Make sure this disaster is averted by buying them a unique and interesting bottle-opener they won't misplace.

What about this cute bottle opener shaped like a woman from Yuppie Chef?


    

#3 Create a QR Code for their WiFi password

This is probably one of my favourite and definitely cheapest ideas! Buy a nice frame and create a QR code for their wifi password that they can hang on the wall for guests. If you don't know how to create a QR code, follow these simple steps.



#4 DIY a tool box jar

When people move into a new home, there is often a fair bit of DIY to do, like hanging up curtains and drilling holes for pictures. Make sure your happy home-owners have all the tools you need by buiding them their very own tool-box jar, complete with screws and nails, a measuring tape and more!


              

#5 Herb platter

Instead of buying a boring old pot plant, why not buy one of these Herb platters from Africandy that'll help new owners grow their very own herbs and provide them with delish flavours for their meals.




#6 Piggy bank

With the cost of buying and decorating a new home, your friends will be grateful for this gift. A piggy bank is not only cute and quirky but a fun way to help them save those extra pennies! (also from Africandy)




#7 A quirky dinner-set

Why not find an interesting dinner-set to replace those boring, all-white porcelain plates?

What do you think of these interesting plates from Africandy.com?

                    

#8  Coasters

If you're looking for something a little smaller, coasters won't break the budget and are a fun way to spruce up a coffee table.

These are some fun and different coasters from We heart this


                   

                   


#8 A key-holder


A key-holder is a great gift for any new home and will help the new owners avoid any lost-key disasters!


We love this interesting design from Africandy
