Warm the home and your festive spirit this year with home-beautiful Christmas gifts. Explore our pick of home-inspired Christmas gifts right here.
The tradition of housewarming parties and gifts has been around for many years. Originally, it was a tradition that encouraged the warming of a new home. Well before the days of central heating, invited guests would bring firewood along and build a fire to heat the new home for its owners.
These days, the tradition of housewarming continues to carry the same sentiment of celebrating a new home and the gathering of family and loved ones. Gifts, however, have progressed a little from firewood. Contemporary housewarming gifts usually take the form of something functional for the homeowners or tenants to use in their new place, or something sentimental and “warming” to help create a sense that the house now belongs specifically to the new occupants, and to make it feel more homely for them as the individuals that they are.
Personalised Christmas Gifts
There is something a bit special about receiving a gift with your name or a personal message on it. And personalised Christmas gifts are just that – personal.
Housewarming Plaque
‘Welcome to our home’. You can’t get a welcome much more warming than that and there’s no more fitting housewarming Christmas gift than one of our personalised plaques.
Combine a personalised plaque with a stunning Christmas wreath for the ultimate festive housewarming gift.
Be inspired by our range of personalised plaques. Create your own message on a homely housewarming plaque for a very special gift this Christmas.
It’s important to note that gorgeous housewarming Christmas gifts aren’t just for new homes (although they are pretty perfect for that). Existing homes can always do with a dose of warmth and Christmas cheer too. You can bring the spirit of Christmas to any home this festive season with The Christmas Cart’s selection of Christmas gifts.
Glass Heart
Heart-shaped glass decorations not only look great hung on the Christmas tree, but they can also look just as great when displayed on their own hanger on the top of a dresser or nestled on a shelf. Personalise this Christmas gift with a housewarming message for your recipient.
Visit our website to see the full range of beautiful personalised glass hearts that we have available.
Christmas gifts make a great choice for a housewarming gift that is a little bit different to the usual choices. It’s something that the homeowner may not necessarily have considered or would go out and buy for themselves, and the personal and thoughtful side will no doubt be appreciated. Unlike some other gift ideas, Christmas gifts can be re-used year upon year, creating memories and making a real lasting impression.
Some other personalised housewarming Christmas gift ideas you might consider are:
- tea towels
- oven mittens
- “his and hers” bath towel set
- Christmas placemats or placeholders
- Christmas themed table runner
Traditional Christmas gifts
If your gift recipient loves Christmas, there are plenty of traditional Christmas gifts that make lovely housewarming presents too. Here are a few of our favourite ideas.
Nutcracker
Of all the Christmas gifts available, we particularly like the nutcracker for its housewarming Christmas appeal. A little guy at the ready to protect his premises is exactly what one needs for a housewarming.
Our range of nutcrackers includes a variety of colour and sizes so there is sure to be something to suit most home décor colours and styles. Visit our website to explore the range of Nutcrackers that we have on offer.
Housewarming forest friends
Cute forest animals and stunning deer ornaments make for both great Christmas gifts and housewarming gifts too. These guys are not as traditional as the nutcracker we mentioned above but they are certainly more versatile when it comes to being able to use them in home décor.
Fancy a fluffy llama with a bow or wearing a Christmas hat?
How about a cute squirrel with a scarf or an antique silver metal bird wearing a crown?
To really make a statement you could opt for a wall hanging deer head or another style of deer ornament.
Many of these Christmas gift choices can adorn homes all year round as stunning features or kept as special pieces for the festive season.
There’s no doubt that Christmas is the time for giving. Bring back the warmth and sentimentality of the tradition of housewarming, for houses both new and old, with some beautiful Christmas gifts.
