The best housewarming gifts are an essential when people you love, like a sister, brother, or best friend, decide to cohabitate, especially around the holiday 2023 season. Moving is almost always a headache-inducing nightmare, but knowing that a present is en route is a lovely gesture, whether you're going all in on a luxury splurge for him and her or seeking something under $ 100.

Whether they’re an excellent chef who would love a gift for hosting or an interior design buff who loves home decor, a thoughtful housewarming gift can come in many forms. What matters most is intention, according to housewarming gift experts. “I like to spend time thinking about gifts that align with the occasion,” Suki LaBarre, ABC Carpet & Home merchandising and e-commerce vice president, told Bazaar. “Like a kitchen item, tray, or small piece of art for a new home, or flowers and a candle for a first-time visit to a friend’s place.”

LaBarre recommends gifts that serve as small luxuries someone might not spring to buy for themselves—a luxe soap, a gorgeous knife set, or an opulent serving tray. “Elevated essentials help to blur the line between trendy and the every day,” she explained. “Evoking a sense of creativity and originality to a daily routine. The right gift should fit seamlessly into their life and remind them of you whenever they use it.” Ahead, shop the best 39 housewarming gifts of 2023, and don’t hesitate to treat yourself to a few of these must-haves, too.
