Then I did a little digging and came up with a standard set of incredible house-warming gifts, all of them sure to please. This is the list I refer to whenever I have a house-warming party to attend, and the gifts are always a hit! ## 1. Numi Flowering Tea Gift Set _ **Price:** $29.97 at acaciacatalog.com_ If the new home owners are tea lovers, this is an [ideal house-warming gift](https://allwomenstalk.com/9-housewarming-gift-ideas/)! The set includes nine tea “blooms,” stitched together with fine cotton thread. Just drop one “rose” into the clear glass pot, pour in boiling water, and watch as it slowly blossoms. Each bloom can be used up to four times. So pretty and unique! ## 2. Pottery Barn Snowglobe Cocktail Shaker _ **Price:** $14.99 at potterybarn.com_ This is so cool! If the happy [new home](https://allwomenstalk.com/tips-for-first-time-home-buyers/) owner stocks a bar, then this is a perfect gift! The double-walled shaker is filled with glitter and confetti, so when it’s shaken (not stirred), it looks like a snowglobe! If you truly want to impress, add a bottle or two of a favored liquor, too! ## 3. Alphabet for Life Plaque _ **Price:** $29.95 at signals.com_ This is the alphabet they ought to be teaching in school! From A (accept differences) all the way to Z (zealously support a worthy cause) and everything in between, this plaque reminds the happy home owner (and all of their guests) what life is really about. My favorite? J, for “jettison anger.” ## 4. Seeds of Life Oak Tree Kit _ **Price:** $39.95 at signals.com_ What better way to celebrate a new home than to plant a tree? This tiny acorn comes with everything the new home owners will need to help it grow into a magnificent, mighty oak - a biodegradable pot, soil, moss, and instructions. ## 5. Home is Where You Are Art ![Home is Where You Are Art](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/04/8-best-house-warming-gifts/home-you-art_best-house-warming-gifts_400x277.jpg) **Price:** $38.00 at [urbanoutfitters.com](http://www.urbanoutfitters.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) It makes sense that home is wherever you might be, since that would of course be where your heart is, right?

Criss-Cross Photo Clip ![Criss-Cross Photo Clip](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/04/8-best-house-warming-gifts/criss-cross-photo-clip_best-house-warming-gifts_400x370.jpg) **Price:** $12.00 at [urbanoutfitters.com](http://www.urbanoutfitters.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) I suppose you COULD just give a plain black or brown photo frame, but why not jazz it up a bit with this funky urban-looking clip-style holder? It holds up to 14 photos, which, by the way, you could probably include, to make it personal. ## 7. Pier 1 HOME Wall Hooks ![Pier 1 HOME Wall Hooks](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/04/8-best-house-warming-gifts/pier-home-wall-hooks_best-house-warming-gifts_240x115.jpg) **Price:** $29.95 at [pier1.com](http://www.pier1.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) Home is where the heart is, and where you hang your hat!

Japanese Bird Bells ![Japanese Bird Bells](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/04/8-best-house-warming-gifts/japanese-bird-bells_best-house-warming-gifts_400x400.jpg) **Price:** $34.95 at [gifts.redenvelope.com](https://goo.gl/X6cHiu) Pretty little cast-iron bells just like these decorate parks and gardens a half a world away in Japan, and they would make such a lovely, thoughtful [housewarming gift](https://allwomenstalk.com/9-housewarming-gift-ideas/)!
