5 Useful Housewarming Gift Ideas for New Renters

Moving into
a new apartment is cause for
celebration! After what can feel like endless
hours of cleaning, unpacking, organizing, and designing the space, many are
ready to show off their new digs to friends and
family. When you get that invitation, you’ll
want to be prepared with a thoughtful and useful housewarming gift. If
you’re on the hunt for that special something, check out our five housewarming
gift
ideas
your loved one is sure to appreciate!

 

A Low-Maintenance
House Plant


House plants
can completely change the look and feel of any room. They have a special way of
brightening up a space and generating a feeling of wellbeing. They can also
improve
air quality, and many are very easy to take care
of. Consider gifting plants like succulents, aloe, spider plants, and snake
plants, for a low-maintenance experience. Take the gesture a step further by
placing the plant in a
decorative pot that either incorporates their
favorite color or matches their chosen aesthetic.  

A Meal Subscription
Box


If your host
is someone who loves
food or someone who is hoping to learn
more about
cooking in general, a meal subscription box
can be an ideal housewarming gift. Many meal subscription boxes come with rationed
portions of ingredients, making it perfect for people living in apartments who
tend to have smaller fridges and kitchen spaces. Bonus perk: it saves them a trip
to the
grocery
store
!

 

A Coffee
or Hot Beverage Kit


The coffee-lover in your life will thank you for this
one! A high-end coffee paired with a nice coffee mug and their favorite creamer
is bound to impress. If your host isn’t  into
coffee, consider putting together a tea or hot-cocoa set. Gifts like these will
often be used quickly and don’t take up a lot of
space.

A
Practical Gift


While it may not feel
like the most glamourous gift,
cleaning
supplies
can be
expensive, and many people don’t want to spend their hard-earned money on them.
Consider putting together a cleaning kit with
eco-friendly cleaning supplies, a pack of nice dish
towels, reusable scrub brushes, fancy hand-soap, and maybe even a non-toxic
scented candle.

 

An
Experience Gift


If your
hosts are new to their neighborhood, a gift card to a
local restaurant, café, or shop can help
them get to know their town a little better. Take the gesture a step further
and make it more personal by considering the distance from their new place,
menu
offerings you know they enjoy,
and whether or not the atmosphere matches their usual style.

 

One thing
you might also consider gifting your hosts is the gift of knowledge. Renters
insurance is a critical component of protecting your most valuable belongings.
Knowing
how
renters insurance works
and
what it can do for you is the gift the keeps on giving. For more information
