Housewarming gifts are tricky. You want to show up with something useful—but not boring. Thoughtful—but not presumptuous. And definitely not something that goes straight to the re-gifting pile.But the best gift doesn’t just say “I saw this and thought of you”—they are also chosen to fill a space in someone’s life. It is something they see every day and think of you. Or the kind that makes their guests say, “Ooh, where’d get this?”
