Personalised New Home Gifts: Housewarming Ideas They'll Use

A new home deserves something better than another candle. A personalised new home gift with their house name, address or the date they got the keys is something they will actually use, and it reminds them of the move every time they see it. Here are our best housewarming gifts, from slate house signs to a keepsake for their first Christmas in the new place.

Slate house signs for the front door

A house sign is the most useful new home gift on this list. The Personalised Natural Slate House Sign and the Natural Slate House Name Plaque (both £14.99) are cut from natural slate with a rustic edge and UV-printed with a house name, number or family name. The lettering is weatherproof and each sign has pre-drilled holes, so it is ready to go up on a porch, gate or wall.

If they live down a lane or share a driveway, the Left and Right Arrow Slate House Sign (£14.99) adds an arrow pointing visitors and delivery drivers the right way.

Address plaques with a bit more style

For a full address, there are three designs, all £14.99 in natural slate: the Split-Address Slate Plaque with a clean modern layout, the Slate Address Plaque with Vine Design and the Slate Address Plaque with Heart Design. Each of these has a choice of five fonts.

Their first Christmas in the new home

Moving before Christmas? The Our First Christmas In Our New Home Arch Plaque (£13.95) has a cosy winter cottage scene with Christmas trees and wrapped gifts, personalised with their names and the year. It becomes part of the decorations every year after.

Pair it with the Family Village Christmas Sack (from £9.50), which says "Christmas at" above their family name, for a housewarming gift that also sorts Christmas morning. See our Christmas sacks guide for more designs.

Gifts for the kitchen and garden

The Personalised Slate Placemat (£12.95) is UV-printed with their name and doubles as a serving board for cheese and charcuterie, so it gets used at the first dinner party. For the garden, the Personalised Slate Garden Sign (from £13.99) can name a garden, shed or patio, with a choice of 10 fonts.

A keepsake of the new address

The Personalised Address Map Plaque (from £14.99) shows a street map centred on their address, with a red heart on the house, plus names, coordinates and a date. Choose a heart, circle, rectangle or square shape, and add the wooden LED base with 7 light modes if you want it to glow.

For the new keys, our PU Leather Wriststrap Keyrings (from £7.99) are stamped with up to 3 initials in rose gold, gold, holographic silver, white or black. Browse more in our personalised keyrings guide.
