We will start our list off with the most practical gifts and further down you will find less practical products! We know this list is subject to opinion and have done our best to take taste and opinion into consideration to make it easy for everyone to find a good practical housewarming gift!
1. Practical Housewarming Blender & Mixer Gift
This 3-in-1 Blender is a great gift to anyone who has just moved into a house or apartment. A blender or a mixer is often a very handy and practical kitchen utensil but is also something you don’t think about until you need it. This gift is great for everyone’s home and is definitely practical with many uses!
2. Practical Slow Cooker
A slow cooker is also a much appreciated practical housewarming gift since it helps cook amazing meals at a low effort. Personally, I am a sucker for pulled pork and these slow cookers make it so easy! The slow cooker holds 3.7 Litres which is usually enough to cook a meal for 3-4 people. They also have a 1.8 L version, and if you instead need a bigger one I recommend this one here.
3. Stylish Kettle 1.5 Litres – Practical For All Houses
A kettle is needed for every household and if you’re buying a kettle for someone as a housewarming gift then practicality is not the only thing in focus but also the aesthetics. This one is a beautiful kettle from Cosori and has dry boil protection, plus it is fast and quiet!
4. Nonstick Pots And Pans Set – Practical housewarming gift!
Pots and pans are something every household needs, if you’re buying a practical housewarming gift for a first-time house buyer then this is definitely the thing to get. It is often expensive with pots and pans so this is a really good deal for a practical and useful housewarming gift that will be much appreciated!
5. Practical Kitchen Knife Set
Kitchen knives are just like pots and pans; something that every household needs. However, in some cultures, especially in Asia it is a bad omen to give someone knives as a gift so please keep this in mind when buying these as a gift for someone. But if you know the receivers of the gift won’t take it this way then it is a great practical housewarming gift that will see a lot of uses!
Are you interested but would like a cheaper alternative? You can find that here.
6. Practical 4 Slice Toaster Housewarming Gift!
This toaster from Russell Hobbs delivers great value for your money when it comes to toasters. It comes in multiple colours and you have the option to choose a 2 slice version of the toaster. Every household needs a toaster and therefore a toaster is one of the best practical housewarming gifts you can give!
7. Essential Tool Kit!
A tool kit is a great addition to any home and is more often than not needed many times in the early stages of moving in somewhere. With it, you can easily put up paintings and shelves as well as piece together some of the handed-down furniture. And even if everything has been bought brand new, things in a home will still require a tool kit at some point. This is the ultimate practical housewarming gift!
8. Vacuum Cleaner
A vacuum cleaner is one of the things that is much needed in every home even if it might not be something you remember that you need until you’ve made a mess. Therefore you can help your friends or family be prepared with a practical and efficient vacuum cleaner, it comes in sizes from 1.5L to 3L.
9. Coffee Maker
Every home needs a coffee maker and even if the ones you’re giving the coffee maker to do not drink coffee, it’s essential to any home in case you get guests. Maybe you want to come to visit and want to make sure they can brew a coffee for you. However, if they do like coffee then this is usually something they have thought about and we recommend that you call them up and fish for info about their morning routines in their new home before you buy a coffee maker for them.
10. Fun Coffee Mug Housewarming Gift
Let us end our top ten with a less practical gift but a winning one. Everyone needs a coffee mug but the more practical choice would be a set of them. This is a single mug but with a cute and fun print saying “Good luck convincing your new neighbors you’re normal”. This is a perfect fun housewarming gift for your best friend.
If you would rather buy a practical coffee mug set you can find a good one here.
What makes the best practical housewarming gift?
The best practical housewarming gift is as mentioned before something that the ones you’re giving the gift to lack in their home. It all depends on more than one factor and it all depends on necessity, budget and taste.
For example, If you know your targeted receivers of the gift lack a tea kettle, a bathroom rug, and maybe a vacuum, then it would be wise to narrow down your gift selection to one of these practical housewarming gifts. To narrow it down even further, since a bathroom rug isn’t a necessity you can rule it out. Furthermore, regarding the vacuum or the tea kettle, then it could depend both on the receiver’s taste and your budget. If they do not like tea that much or use a hot water bottle a lot then maybe the kettle isn’t needed even if they lack it, but if they do and your budget is limited then maybe buying a vacuum is a bit too pricey for you.
Gift-giving is very similar to the old entrepreneur statement; to be a good seller you got to understand your buyer. This is especially important regarding practical gifts for people who just moved into a new house or apartment. You have to know their needs very well, best practice is to phone them up and fish for how everything is coming along and if they’ve had any problems during the move, if they got some new things for their house, etc.
