VERANDA

We love at-home gatherings of all kinds, but there's nothing like a housewarming party where guests are invited into one's brand-new abode, often for the first time, to discover the place they fell in love with. Friends and family can ooh and aah at a loved one's beautiful new living spaces, smart and swanky appliances, and the thoughtful touches that have transformed a house into a home in a short amount of time.

We're steering clear from the typical bottles of bubbly and luxe hand soaps for some seriously thoughtful housewarming gifts that your favorite homeowner will treasure forever. From personalized stationery to a beautiful piece of local artwork, these housewarming gifts will have you wanting to move in hopes of receiving them yourself!
