The new house/BTO/condo is ready and what happens after the new homeowners roll the pineapple in the house (signifying good luck, 旺来, in Hokkien), check for BTO defects, spend a couple of months cracking their head on home renovation, cost a fortune on home furniture?
More importantly, with the recent ease of COVID-19 measures starting from 26 April 2022, there is no longer a limit on the number of visitors per household! Yes, they are ready to show it off to family and friends, and it's time for a really cosy housewarming!
You're up. What should you get for your friend? It can be really stressful because you do not want to get them a white elephant sitting in their already small BTO/condo. You want your gift to be well-loved by the new homeowners!
Let us dive deep on the 5 practical housewarming gifts you might want to keep for yourself too (in no order of practicality):
1. Wall Decor
Nothing beats a personalised decor that welcomes them home every night. Something that is uniquely theirs. You can now customise it for them, or buy it as a gift for them to redeem later! This way, they still get the gift and in the design they like - we are all about gifting meaningfully right?
2. Coasters to Keep Their Table Dry
Nothing is more practical than not leaving a ring mark from your chilled Coke (Classic) (yes, we know) on your friend's newly bought wooden table. If they are not going to scream at you, Monica Geller from Friends would.
Leave nothing but dryness on their table. You do not want them to remember you by a couple of ring marks.
Still unsure what exactly is the use of a coaster? Fret not. Read What Is The Use Of A Wooden Coaster? here. Everyone should read it.
3. Food Platter
What taste better than the aesthetics of the food that is served on a beautiful food platter? From cheese lovers, to meaty fans to the seafood kings, you got your platting game almost done with a nice food platter.
4. Wooden Key Holder
Keep your house in order, and your life would be. Just like how habits start young, it should start small too. Give your friends a place to house their keys and they will never lose them ever again. Lose your keys? Have you checked the holder? - We got you.
5. Serving Tray
Gift your friend the beginning of their own little nest a serving tray when they receive guest, aka you.
Wooden products are our favourite so we would recommend all of the above in wooden touches. Now you're housewarming-ready and you never have to ring the bell empty-handed.
Gift meaningfully, stay zen!
