Whether it's moving into the first home or moving to another home, housewarming parties are always fun. You get to see your friend's new abode and also you'll be inspired to redo your home, or even finally get a house of your own. Also, it's always a blast when the host opens the housewarming gifts.

The best housewarming gifts are definitely the gifts that the host can put to good use. What you want to think of when buying a housewarming gift, is the practicality of the gift as well as the fun factor in it. For example, If your friend is a great entertainer, check out these cool cube trays and ice stirrers that are inexpensive but really cool!

If your friend loves to cook, a gift like this Demy Touchscreen Recipe Reader is awesome too. It does cost a whopping $289.99 at Amazon. 

If the housewarming party is for a bachelor, then maybe something fun and useful like this drink dispenser would be a great gift. It only costs $39.99 and you can purchase it at After 5.


Candles, photo frames, book ends or even a bouquet of flowers in a vase can never go wrong as well... unless of course you can count out the flowers if your friend is allergic to 'em.


If you're thinking of getting your friend a pet, this wall mounted fish bowl aquarium would be a splendid gift!


I saw online that a group of friends pooled some money, got a big nice rubbish bin with a big bow on it. Inside, they filled it with all sorts of small gifts, a clock, cutlery set, floor mats, table mats, toiletries, and other basic necessities that is very useful for a new home. Needless to say, the hosts loved it and they were able to use everything! Even the rubbish bin!
