Moving into a new home is a huge deal, giving you the chance to celebrate with your friends and family in your swanky new pad (and get a lot of lovely housewarming gifts in the process).
Housewarming gifts can be really thoughtful presents, they’re a great way of welcoming someone into their new home and they can serve a whole range of purposes - ideal for those lucky recipients.
Moving can be a real stressful and daunting prospect, requiring an awful lot of work to shape your house/apartment into your dream home.
Finding that ideal place requires a lot of scouting and it can also lead to annoyingly large amounts of DIY which nobody likes – so celebrating a loved one’s success with a new house gift is a great way to welcome them.
Housewarming gifts are a great way of rewarding your friend/family members hard work after all the trials and tribulations of finding their new home. It really is the thought that counts when it comes to these presents which makes them pretty important.

Cactus Flower Pot
Turning a house or an apartment into a home can take some real finesse. But one way of doing this is by adding colour and nature with plants. Not only will they make your surroundings prettier, the smell and vibe they give off can really transform a room. It's also important to show them off in a funky way and it doesn't get much better than this eye-catching cactus flower pot. This ceramic pot differs to your standard vases and we're sure it'll get a lot of compliments in any room of the house!

Good cushions go hand-in-hand with the sofa and this bee inspired design will have you feeling super snuggly in no time. Available in three different sizes and soft touch for extra comfort, this will sure make a great moving in gift.
