Housewarming Hamper Ideas

Moving house is no easy feat. Packing all your belongings away, organising the removal service, unpacking those same belongings and losing your favourite item of clothing; we’ve all been there. Housewarming gifts make the transition that bit smoother, perfect to be enjoyed after a long day of organising, DIY and assembling furniture. Shop our great selection of housewarming gift ideas to get you started on picking the perfect present for the new residents, or for those moving house to say ‘Thank You’ to the friends and family that helped you with the big move. Luckily, any hamper you decide on will instantly brighten up a home – especially a home full of boxes – and can even provide the first lunch, dinner, or breakfast, at their new address, taking away a lot of the moving stress.

Drinks For Toasting the New Home

A big transition like moving house deserves an equally significant celebration! After a long day of moving, a little tipple to take the edge off, or a glass of celebratory bubbly, might be exactly what they are after. Prosecco, champagne and sparkling wine all make great celebratory drinks options and are often a particularly popular drink at the table. Naturally, many of our luxury new home hampers feature bubbly, amongst other goodies that you’ll be eager to tuck into, and commemorative balloons to truly mark the occasion. One of our favourite housewarming hampers, the Bentley Hamper, features the spectacular Zonin 1821 Prosecco Doc Spumante Special Cuvee, Lindt Lindor Assorted Swiss Chocolate Truffles, two cheeses and more; this luxury hamper is a great way to start your loved ones new venture off in the most indulgent way. We’ve got plenty of other new home hampers that feature prosecco and champagne as the centrepiece of a mountain of goodies, but, if you’re looking to keep it refined, you can simply purchase a bottle of our prosecco nestled in its own wooden crate. This makes for a fabulous housewarming gift idea as the box can be engraved with a message of ‘Good Luck’ to the new tenants and kept by them for storage, decoration or to memorialise the big move.

Whilst bubbles are a timeless celebratory classic, you may want to help kickstart your loved ones wine collection in their new house. With our brilliant selection of red, white, rosé and non-alcoholic wines, there’s something for everyone, with plenty of treats that will complement the celebrations perfectly. Customise the drink of choice to suit your loved ones, or, if they’re hosting you, choose the wine which best matches the food being served – such as red wine for dark meats or white wine for fish. From there, picking the hamper itself is all that’s left to do. Choose from white or red wine hampers like the Eton hamper, sparkling rosé hampers like the housewarming Ladies Gift Hamper, or exquisite hampers that feature red, white and rosé wines. Either way, wine makes a great housewarming hamper idea for new homeowners; help stock up their new wine rack and supply them with party beverages at the same time!

Food and Celebratory Snacks 

Drinks hampers, however, are not the only good way to wish the new home owners well! Food hampers can be a brilliant way to show you care, giving them snacks and treats to enjoy over their first few days in their new home. We recommend hampers with sweet treats, like chocolates, slab cake and jams, as well as savoury bites, like crisps, olives and cheese straws, in order to appeal to all tastes. However, for the first morning in their new home, a breakfast hamper is a brilliant choice. Our Breakfast Tray gift sets come complete with croissants, jams, orange juice and more, with the option to customise and add prosecco or smoked salmon. Complete with an Open Bamboo serving tray, this can be enjoyed as a breakfast-in-bed experience and makes for a great new home gift idea.

For multiple tenants or multiple guests, Muffin Hampers are a fabulous alternative for sharing. Save the bother of baking them yourself and spend that time picking out an outfit for the housewarming celebrations, then arrive with the hamper that’s sure to be popular amongst the guests and tenants. Whether you opt for standard, medium or large, raspberry, blueberry or double chocolate, there will be plenty of muffins to keep family and friends happy, and the snack table full. Fruit baskets also make for a great, and more nutritious, centre-piece, so why not combine the two and arrive with a fresh fruit and muffin hamper. With something for both the sweet tooth and the health nut, let the home-owners know you’ve got the dessert course covered!

Pamper Hampers and More

Whilst drinks and snacks make for great housewarming gift ideas, why not push the boat out and gift them with some rest and relaxation? A luxurious pamper hamper might be exactly what they fancy after a long day of moving! Choose from our brilliant selection of pamper hampers, which feature luxury lotions and treatments, bath and shower accessories, glorious scented candles, snacks and bubbly - they’ll surely be impatient to get that first bubble bath running! Take the splendid Spa-Style Pampering Set complete with Prosecco. A dreamy set complete with Hames prosecco truffles, Bomb Cosmetics body lotion and pink pamper soap, a scented bath bomb and Liberty Candle candle, as well as a pumice stone, cotton bath towel, massage brush, Chinese loofah, and, of course, the Zonin 1821 Prosecco Doc Spumante Special Cuvée. One of our most indulgent hampers, this is a perfect new home gift idea for the friend that deserves some extra TLC! All of our pamper hampers make for brilliant housewarming gifts that will persuade even the busiest of loved-ones to take a break.
