Gift ideas for Thomas’s housewarming

It’s not just the taste of the recipient that needs to be taken into account when choosing a housewarming gift. Also consider whether this is their first flat since leaving home, a move to a new town, or a couple’s first flat together. Particularly when two households are merging, there is often no need for household items.

When choosing a housewarming gift, pay particular attention to the following aspects:

• Interior style and taste: Do the recipients prefer a modern or classic style? Taking a look at their existing décor will help you get the style right.
• Practicality: Especially in their first home of their own, the basics are often lacking. High-quality housewarming gifts that make everyday life easier are almost always well received.
• Quality over quantity: Give a well-thought-out gift rather than bringing lots of little trinkets that will quickly end up in a drawer.
• Personal touch: A gift that reflects the recipient’s preferences, hobbies or favourite colour brings particular joy.

If you’re unsure which housewarming gift will go down well, you can simply ask the person who’s moved in directly what they’d like. As many people are keen to buy their own furnishings and decorations, they’ll also be delighted to receive a homemade card with some cash inside.

The kitchen is the heart of every home and is usually not yet fully kitted out after a couple’s first move. To ensure the recipients feel right at home straight away and can make the most of their new home without any hassle, crockery and kitchen accessories make ideal housewarming gifts. Whether it’s complete tableware sets, cutlery, mugs, glasses, serving platters or electrical appliances – high-quality kitchenware almost always comes in handy.

Matching sets are ideal, particularly for young couples moving into their first home together. Often, both partners bring individual plates with them that don’t go well together. If the recipients are ready to part with their old crockery, stylish crockery sets are the perfect housewarming gift.

With its wide range of colours, the diverse Thomas Sunny Day collection offers the perfect housewarming gift to suit every taste. The tableware pieces in this collection combine the radiant white of high-quality porcelain with vibrant colours that brighten up everyday life. This makes it easy to match the tableware to the recipient’s favourite colour or their interior décor, turning it into a particularly personal gift.

With the summery shades Sunny Day Soft Yellow and Sunny Day Waterblue, these colourful tableware pieces bring a cheerful atmosphere to the table. But even more subtle colours such as Sunny Day Fuchsia and Sunny Day Petrol delight with their vibrant hues. Whether it’s green tableware, blue tableware or red tableware – there’s something for everyone in the Thomas Sunny Day range.

The Thomas Trend collection brings the latest colour trends to the dining table. This popular tableware from the Queensberry Hunt design studio combines a distinctive grooved texture with bold colours – guaranteed to catch the eye on any table. The Trend collection can be mixed and matched with ease: even individual pieces in different colours create a personalised look that can be expanded at any time. Give individual breakfast plates or dinner plates as eye-catching housewarming gifts, or delight your loved ones with a complete tableware set featuring this popular classic from Thomas.

A new home needs to be filled with life and lovingly furnished – so housewarming gifts are just the thing. However, it’s best to only give decorative items as gifts if you know your loved ones’ tastes well. That way, you can be sure to really match their style and give them lasting joy with a beautiful decorative item.

You’ll find a wide range of decorative items to suit every taste at Rosenthal, for example. Discover modern vases, stylish picture frames, as well as tealights and scented candles made from high-quality branded porcelain – all ideal as housewarming gifts. Combined with fresh flowers, a photo of you together or the recipient’s favourite fragrance, these little gems make the perfect gift for their new home.

What do you give as a housewarming gift?

Popular housewarming gifts include practical everyday items such as tableware, glasses or high-quality kitchen utensils, which are often still missing from a new home. Decorative items, plants or traditional good-luck charms such as bread and salt are also well received. Do make sure, however, that your gifts suit the recipient’s taste.

What traditional housewarming gifts are there?

Probably the best-known custom is presenting bread and salt, which symbolise a bright future in the new home. This gift looks particularly lovely on a matching plate or a serving platter in the recipient’s favourite colour.

What should you bear in mind when choosing a housewarming gift?

When choosing a housewarming gift, make sure it suits the interior style and taste of the recipient or select a gift with practical use. Gifts with a personal touch are sure to be particularly well received by the recipient – such as a tableware set that matches the colour scheme of their home.
