Kitchen Gift Ideas

There are so many things that one needs for a kitchen, especially if it is for their first home. We will start with some helpful housewarming gift ideas for this space. Therefore, you can easily purchase many items for this area that will likely be used.

To help you determine what to buy for the kitchen, I have subdivided this list by kitchen area, where practical items can be purchased as gifts, ranging from a small kitchen to a larger one.

Cutlery drawer organizers

Drawer organizers (Affiliate Link) for cutlery are the best for keeping forks, knives, and other utensils (Affiliate Link) organized. Picking a standard average size will allow for easy use in any drawer in their kitchen. Expandable ones work well for larger drawers.

Refrigerator Organizers

Every kitchen has organizers, but not many people have refrigerator organizers. These items come in acrylic styles and can easily be purchased in a box set, and are deeper than the upper cabinet acrylic bins.

Pantry Bins

Bins for the pantry (Affiliate Link) are very helpful for keeping this space organized. They can be clear, white, dark, wicker, or a variety of other options. It’s best to buy a set of matching bins for the pantry (Affiliate Link), making them easily usable for this space and others. Purchasing a variety of sizes will help organize this space easily. And, don't forget the labels (Affiliate Link) for the pantry (Affiliate Link) bins.

Living Room Gift Ideas

The next area we will visit for housewarming gift ideas is the living room, also commonly referred to as the family room. Multipurpose items that are easy to use for a variety of purposes work great in small and large rooms.

Some housewarming gift ideas for the living room could include a multipurpose coffee table that has storage and pops up for games or dinner in front of the TV. For options, visit my post Coffee Table with Storage You Will Love for Your Small Home.

Decorative bins for this space are effective, especially if they also provide storage for kids' toys or games.

Entryway Gift Ideas

The third room that may need some practical housewarming gift ideas is the entryway. No one likes to enter their home to a messy entryway. The smaller the entryway, the more critical it is to keep this area well-organized. Some items for the front door that can help people stay organized in the entryway include shoe organization products, sturdy wooden coat hangers, and coat racks. You can even add a new doormat or small area rug (Affiliate Link) for this area. It can be placed in front of the door or below the shoe organizer to collect debris.

If they have a small entryway, you can also utilize the inside of coat closets for over-the-door (Affiliate Link) organizers.

Coat racks should have wicker bins (Affiliate Link) or other bins to help gather all the small items. There should also be plenty of hooks for the number of people living in the new house.

Bathroom Gift Ideas

Another room you can purchase practical housewarming gifts for is the bathroom. You can buy a variety of items to help your loved one become more organized in the morning.

Wicker bins (Affiliate Link), under-sink cabinet storage bins (Affiliate Link), and bathtub tray organizers all work nicely for a useful gift idea for a housewarming present. Makeup organizers (Affiliate Link) make excellent gifts. Keeping the bathroom vanity clear of clutter helps not only the recipient but also the other family members.

Garage and Outdoor Gift Ideas

The last practical housewarming gift idea you can purchase for your loved one is something to help keep their garage (Affiliate Link) and outdoor space organized. Cabinets for the garage (Affiliate Link) or patio are handy for keeping these spaces organized.

Getting them something to organize the small screws and other things is also helpful. A unit with several small, clear drawers is ideal for keeping a work area clear of clutter.

Providing the new homeowner with something to organize their cordless tools (Affiliate Link) is also extremely helpful. Below, I am sharing some examples of the products I discussed.

Other useful housewarming gift ideas

And let’s not forget these other housewarming gift ideas. People love to get gift cards or cash. There are many household stores you can choose from.

Gift Card Options for Homeowners

Gift cards from various home stores like Home Depot, Lowe's, furniture (Affiliate Link) stores, Wayfair, Amazon gift cards (Affiliate Link), Bed Bath & Beyond, Kohl’s, Target, Walmart, IKEA, and hardware stores, such as Ace Hardware, make great housewarming gifts.

Cash is an excellent gift for New Homeowners.

Especially if the loved one is a new homeowner, giving them cash is also a great option. Consider creating unique gifts with the cash. Try using a clean pizza box, apply removable tape, and place each of the $1.00 or $10.00 notes inside the pizza box, creating a pizza shape. You can even cut out little red construction paper circles and add them to the top to make it look like pepperoni. Here is a DIY Gift Idea, a Pizza Box project I found on YouTube.

These gift ideas are perfect for your next housewarming party, especially for family members and close friends. I hope they give you some inspiration and make these meaningful gifts exactly what your loved one needs. Please leave a comment below with an additional great or helpful gift you've given to a recipient that they loved. I would love to hear from you.
