PhotoBuying your first home is a rite of passage, and so it’s expected that if a loved one buys a new home, you’ll get them a gift to celebrate the occasion. It can be tough to choose the right gift for them, as interior design trends change so much, so here are some ideas to get you started.xx
A pet-themed gift for animal lovers
If the new homeowners love pets, why not get them a themed gift that’s personal too? You can get gifts such as a package from a pet photographer in Perth, which will allow them to get some beautiful, professional photos of their fur baby. They can then choose the photo that they love and get a canvas or framed picture to hang in their new property.
Something for their home office
A lot of young, first-time homeowners now opt to buy outside of the main cities, as they’re taking advantage of remote or hybrid working arrangements. Therefore, they’ll no doubt be creating an office space in their new property, where they can work without distraction. This gives you the opportunity to choose a fun or practical gift for their home office, such as:
- A coffee machine
- A plant or succulent
- A stylish lamp
- Decorative items
- Gadgets such as wireless chargers
There are lots of possibilities for home office gifts, but make sure you choose something that suits their personality and the type of work that they do.
Greenery
One of the biggest trends in the last couple of years has been plants and greenery. Whether they’re moving to an apartment or a big country house, greenery can improve their property greatly. Try some succulents or cacti, or opt for big leafy plants such as ferns, which are huge in interiors right now.
Eco-friendly homeware
Younger people are often more environmentally aware than the older generation, so if you’re looking for home gifts, consider eco-friendly options. Look for homeware with a GECA ecolabel, as this will indicate that the company has eco-friendly and sustainable practices. Also, invest in quality. When it comes to gifts, you want them to last for years, so it’s better to spend the budget on something well-made, rather than something they’ll need to replace in a year.
A hamper
Not sure what items they’ll need for around the home? A hamper can be a good alternative as a housewarming gift. Best of all, you can build your own and fill it with things you think they’ll like. If they’ve just moved in together, you could add the essentials such as nice olive oil, or you could just stick to staples such as champagne and chocolates.
A new home is a new start in life, so when someone you love becomes a homeowner, make sure you mark the occasion. A small gift is a great way to welcome them into their new home and will no doubt be something they treasure as they build a life in their new property.
