Does your social calendar pile up every Spring and Summer like mine? It seems like every weekend there’s a wedding, graduation or reason to celebrate. Tons of my girlfriends have spent this Spring (and early Summer– its Georgia, lets be real) welcoming new spaces, babies and marriages! It got me thinking about what makes a perfect housewarming gift to bring to a friend I care about.
I did my research, thought about beautiful gifts I’ve received in the past and more importantly gifts I’ve given that have left permanent smiles or major “awww” moments. Honesty y’all it all comes down to the three P’s: Purposeful, Personal and a little Playful!
The Seasonal Housewarming Gift
I don’t like to pick favorites but this Summer themed purposeful basket is one of my favorites! Everything was at my local target and instead of using a boring old basket or bin, I thought it would be fun and a little extra to throw it all together in a drink dispenser pineapple!
The pineapple drink dispenser is both purposeful and playful, it houses all the little extras well and can be used for summer hosting over and over again. The extra personal touch was a little something for my friend’s pup, because we can’t forget our furry friends!
I’ll 10% be borrowing this housewarming gift idea blue print for the winter and fall!

The Milestone Housewarming Gift
Last but never least (and likely the reason you googled housewarming gift in the first place), this one gets a little tricky because you have to think about gifts that work for two like a new couple or a mama and her new baby.
Here’s where I add a fourth P to the three P’s and that’s plentiful! Make sure you keep a variety of different types of gifts, from flavors to activities and more.
