Your friend finally moved into their perfect home… now you just need to find the perfect housewarming gift! To welcome a loved one into their new home, you want a gift that is memorable, practical, and budget-friendly. If that seems like a bit of a challenge, then check out this great list from The Everygirl. Not only does this gift round-up include thoughtful gifts any new homeowner would love, but these items will actually get put to use for years to come.

We also love the idea of making a gift, like this DIY Housewarming Bucket, perfect for a first-time homeowner. This customized street map puzzle would be a fun way to help a family get acquainted with their new neighborhood. Or keep it simple with a heartfelt card congratulating your friend on their new home.
