Stuck for housewarming gift ideas? Our edit has everything from the Instagram-approved wine everyone’s drinking, the house plant to make their new pad a home and even naturally dyed linens for tablescaping.

Is it just us, or is everyone moving house right now?

The pandemic has affected the way we all interact with our living spaces and so the last year has sparked a wave of movement, with some people heading out of the city, while others look for a place to really make their own. 

This has meant that everyone and their dog is talking about finding somewhere new and, therefore, a lot of housewarmings are coming your way. Once we’re allowed to socialise inside again, of course. 

For those occasions, here is a long list of cool, useful and affordable housewarming gift ideas that, we think, literally any friend will like. From a flower subscription to fill their new house with blooms to chocolate-inspired tea and home accessories from chic Scandinavian brands, this edit has got you covered.

• The Bloom Bunch Flower Subscription

  Lavender and Rose is a small, Scottish online florist run by twin sisters Rosie and Jess. While the pair do weddings, events and postable dried flowers, they recently set up a flower subscription service, too.

  The Bloom Bunch is a flower subscription with a difference as the pair only use wedding-grade flowers so you can be sure you’re getting the good stuff. Plus, they love flower trends as much as you do and don’t pad out bunches with filler foliage. 

  Instead, expect coral peonies, bright orange Californian poppies (pictured above) and frilly ranunculus. Essentially, all the best flowers to take photos of.
