Housewarming Gift Guide

A fire extinguisher may seem like a weird housewarming gift idea, but hear us out. The point of housewarming gifts is to reduce how many items someone buys for their home. And, often, fire extinguishers are totally forgotten about until something bad happens. It’s a unique housewarming gift and it’s a practical housewarming gift.

The Amerex B402 is the best fire extinguisher on the market. It features a durable, highly reliable design. Plus it works on a variety of different fires.

If you want something a little more budget-friendly, or something smaller you can add to a gift basket, the First Alert EZ Spray is a great alternative under $30.

Smart thermostats are the perfect housewarming gift because they make a home so much cozier. Think about it. Using voice commands or an app, you can adjust the temperature to exactly how you like it. There’s nothing cozier than the perfect temperature.

And the Google Nest Learning Thermostat actually learns how you like your temperature and adjusts accordingly. It’s like having a temperature butler. Plus, whether your recipient is a die-hard Alexa fan or prefers Google Assistant, this thermostat will work in their home.

We all know that one person who is always cold. If that perpetually cold person is moving into a new home, a space heater is a great housewarming gift idea. Especially if the space heater is as cool as the Dr. Infrared Heater.

This nifty heater has a retro design with modern features. It will automatically shut off if tipped over by an over-energetic pet and will produce a cool mist to humidify your room if the air gets too dry.

If your friend or family member is a little older, they probably have tons of stuff. So it can be hard figuring out the best gift. This is the perfect situation for a gift card.

Home Depot gift cards are ideal for housewarming gifts because Home Depot carries home improvement items as well as smart home gadgets, cleaning supplies, and just about everything else you need for your first home.

Plants are a common housewarming gift, but if the gift recipient lacks a green thumb, their new home can become a murder scene in a few short weeks. Be the hero and save the house plants with the thoughtful gift of a Wanfei Plant Monitor.

This little gadget will send notifications to the recipient’s phone when a plant needs a little water or more light. It also has more advanced features (like measuring the soil’s pH) for more knowledgeable plant parents.

This housewarming gift is for the person that likes to be prepared for anything. The Redfora Complete Earthquake Bag is an ideal emergency kit for any home, whether it’s in an earthquake zone or not.

The sturdy backpack includes enough food, water, and hygiene products (plus a lot of emergency tools) for two people for three days. The food has a shelf life of five years, so you don’t need to worry about it spoiling anytime soon.
