House Warming Gifts Made Simple - 5 tips on how to find the perfect present for their new home

1. Ask them! It’s often nice to have surprise gift, but sometimes there might be something the new homeowners actually want for their new place. You could also ask what colours they’re going for in their new house - for example, they might say they’re going for neutral in the bedroom but a blue theme in the kitchen, so you can bear this in mind when choosing a gift. You could even ask them to send you their Amazon wish list!

 
2. Pass the smell test! Room and pillow mists are a lovely gift idea, and this will help a new homeowner settle into their new home by spritzing it around to make it smell divine, and add a relaxing scent to the bedding. This one from Sanctuary Spa will have them relaxed into sleep in no time after their busy moving in day!https://www.superdrug.com/Sanctuary-Spa/Sanctuary-Spa-Sleep-Dream-Easy-Pillow-Mist-100ml/p/768748
 
3. Turn over a new leaf! A houseplant is always a good idea – it will improve the air quality as well as looking lovely. Easy to maintain plants are a good idea, especially if the new homeowners aren’t green fingered! An aloe vera plant is a great choice as they only need watering once a month at most, and thrives in a sunny window. Also you can remove parts of the leaf easily and use the cooling gel inside for a number of things. It heals dry, irritated or inflamed skin, soothes sunburn, lessens the visibility of stretch marks and can be used as a non-greasy moisturiser, perfect for those with oily skin without leaving a greasy feel.
