Reasons Housewarming
Typically, new home celebrated for several reasons:
Reason #1. If you were invited to celebrate the purchase of a new apartment or your own home, you should take into account the fact that the owners of the apartment may not even have the most basic items, for example, a gas stove, refrigerator or any furniture. Therefore, it is worthwhile to seriously ask the new settlers what they lack to find a useful and “long-playing” gift.
Reason #2. Housewarming – the end of the overhaul of an existing apartment, a complete renovation of the interior in the house. A rare holiday in our area, because, as you know, repair is a state of mind 🙂 If the interior is updated, it will be more interesting with gifts: since the owners took the time and the finances to finish the repair completely, they consider it to be complete. That is, it will be inappropriate to drag an armchair into a high-tech apartment. But a cool bottle of wine or a creative vase of universal use – just right.
Reason #3. Housewarming – relocation of a young family, couple or just friends to a new rented apartment. Holiday of a couple moving in space-time as molecules of Brownian motion. Mobility is important for these children, because today they hang out at a disco, pass exams tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow they gather abroad. Therefore, gifts should be light and portable – a fun night light or cool bedding.
As you already understood, age and status are also very important. And also the expectation of the hosts themselves. After all, if you are simply invited to dinner and see a new apartment, and you locked up a freezer, which is “useful in the household” while people still have no sensible bed, it will turn out uncomfortable somehow. So, having received an invitation to a housewarming party, ask who else will be, what will be in the program of the evening, how can you help newcomers. Such intelligence will not be superfluous.
So, gifts. We deal in order!
Kitchen Utensils (In The Broad Sense Of The Word)

Anything To Drink Tea. Or Not Necessarily Tea 🙂
You bring a mug – put a mug of good tea in the mug. In teapots, you can put silver spoons with engraving. Also a good present. And to the set of glasses add a bottle, even a tiny one, of a delicious aged drink.
Do Not Give:
Knives
Well, it’s not that a bad gift, but suddenly, the owners are very impressionable and superstitious.
Technics
The issue is sensitive. Buy only if it was remembered, wanted, agreed.

Live plants or flowers in pots, as well as vases for bouquets

Housewarming Gifts In The Bedroom
A set of soft pillows or a set of bed linen.
You need to know a) the size of the bed, b) preferences in the materials of linen.
Warm mat
Yes, our people do not like to walk on the cold floor, but on the shaggy and warm floor it is cool. Just don’t give such that it is impossible to vacuum them. This is bad manners.
Book shelf or rack for clothes
Often givers lack intricacy on such gifts. And in vain, because it is unique and useful.
Traditional Housewarming Gifts
Charms, religious paintings and figurines, “little houses” and symbolism
All this is only for close friends who are sure that they give. The standard amulets of Australian houses are lush embroidered elements at the entrance to the house or above the icons, symbols of the nest, wreaths from field crops decorated with flowers, holy water, crosses, and images.
