27 Best Housewarming Gifts for 2025

What more could a new homeowner want than a way to make s'mores from the comfort of their kitchen table? This Terraflame set ensures they can make s'mores indoors any time thanks to the food-safe, non-toxic, smoke-free and odorless fuel. It comes with the concrete fire bowl, a bamboo lid and nifty serving tray that's perfect for holding those graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate bars. You may just have to buy one for yourself while you're at it. 

As CNET's best overall air fryer, the Ninja AF101 is not only the most powerful we've used, but also the fastest because it can zap chicken wings and fries into crispy meals in no time. With simple controls, anyone can use it without fuss. 

Moving is exhausting and usually requires lots and lots of caffeine. That's where this fabulous Blue Bottle Coffee craft instant espresso comes in. Before you scoff at the thought of instant coffee, know that this isn't your generic grocery store instant powder. These coffee crystals are capable of producing high quality lattes in seconds, which is perfect for those much-needed lattes while moving and for hosting unexpected guests who are just dropping in to "help." 

Coffee and tea drinkers all love nice mugs. This one can be personalized with the first initial of the homeowner's name, and the design on the mug is stunning too. 

This Hamilton Beach stand mixer is a seven-speed powerhouse in a small package. It features a standard tilt-up head for easy bowl removal, a dough hook, whisk and flat beater to fulfill all their cooking needs. 

As CNET's best rice cooker overall, the Tiger rice cooker can transform uncooked rice to fluffy goodness in 21 minutes. This machine has four simple controls: white rice, brown rice, slow cook/steam and synchronized cook settings that allow two things to cook at once. 

Give a unique and lovely housewarming gift without breaking the bank. This sushi set includes two plates, two dipping dishes and two sets of chopsticks. Perfect for homemade or takeout sushi and sashimi.

When it comes to spending money on wine and wine glasses, the sky's the limit. If you're looking for a happy medium that doesn't break the bank but is a little more exciting than your average plain wine glass, this Pottery Barn confetti set fits the bill. We love that they're classy and a little whimsical too. And the fact that they're stemless is helpful when toasting around new couches and floors. 

Homesick makes all kinds of nostalgic, unique candle scents and their New Home one is the perfect housewarming gift. The top scent notes are jasmine and cedarwood, and the burn time is up to 80 hours. They also sell a New Home Linen & Room Spray if you want to add more to your gift.

You can't go wrong with gifting candles, and Yankee Candles are my go-to choice for great scents. The Vanilla Cupcake has an inviting, sweet scent, though there are many to choose from. Pro tip: Shoot for the larger candles for $31, as they last longer.

This oil diffuser by SpaRoom is CNET's best budget diffuser. While it doesn't have all the added features of high-end diffusers, this one still gets the job done by providing a great mist output for a medium-sized room. With a three-hour run time, an LED light that changes color and a 100-milliliter capacity, you can get a spa-like experience at home.

Everyone deserves to be pampered, and sometimes that happens in the shower. Help that new homeowner or renter get the relaxation they need by gifting them this aromatherapy variety pack. There's lavender, watermelon, grapefruit and other calming aromas that dissolve away the stress.  

A nice bottle of wine is often an ideal housewarming gift, and you can pair it with this Rabbit Electric Wine Opener. CNET’s Macy Meyer is a big fan because of how easy it is to use. Once you fit the electric corkscrew onto the top of your wine bottle, you “hold down the lower button until it stops making a noise, then you simply hold down the upper button until it again stops making noise -- and voilà!” It allows you to open many (up to 30) bottles of wine with just one charge. And if your friend or family member is a wine aficionado, you may want to get them some additional wine gifts -- or even enroll them in a wine club.

Moving into a new home means plenty of new opportunities to entertain. This cheese board and knife set is perfect for the diehard Star Wars fan in your life. Find more great Star Wars gifts here.

Red wine can please the fussiest palate. But you also don't want to get something that will break the bank, so Venge Vineyards' Cabernet Sauvignon is a good, happy medium. This wine has blackberry, oaky vanilla and smoky notes and pairs well with cheese, beef and game meat.

Wine can be a difficult thing to buy people, especially if you don't know what someone likes. But you can still get something that will make wine enjoyable to drink. Grab the latest HyperChiller, HC3, that will chill wine in no time. And check out our list if you want more suggestions for the best gift for wine drinkers.

Packing cubes are a game-changer when it comes to saving space in your luggage. They’ll help your gift recipient stay organized when they travel -- even if it’s going back and forth from their old home to their new one -- or when it comes to storing clothes in their dresser or closet. This set comes with four packing cubes, as well as a bag for dirty laundry and pouch for shoes.

No one thinks about having a new address until they're already in the throes of mailing holiday cards. Lend an assist to your favorite new homeowner or renter by giving them this aesthetically pleasing, practical gift. It will save them from handwriting their new address a zillion times and you can rest assured they don't have one already.    

There's nothing too fancy about these containers. This is a 18-piece glass container set that can be used to store meals or just hold food that's not in use. Whether you use these to freeze food or toss them in the microwave, all food will be good to go. Read more on why we love these containers in our round-up of the best meal prep containers.

Sometimes the best thing you can give a cash-strapped new homeowner or renter is money, so you can hand them a gift card for just about anywhere. But if you get them a gift card for Home Depot or Lowe's, they'll be grateful. A card like these can go a long way to jazz up a home.

Indoor gardens like the AeroGarden Sprout can work well for people who don't have a green thumb, as well as for budding chefs looking for fresh herbs to add to their dinner. This AeroGarden has a light hood that grows everything five times as fast and has simple controls that anyone can use. 

This Eufy RoboVac is our best budget vacuum for picking up low-pile, medium-pile and pet hair fairly well on hardwood floors and carpets. While the navigation is not as good as the Roborock S7, it still gets the job done. The Eufy RoboVac can be connected to a wireless network and accept commands via smartphone or voice when paired with a smart home speaker and touch. Read our Eufy RoboVac 25C review.

The spherical, 5th-gen Amazon Echo is an easy entry into smart home gadgets. This version offers the usual Alexa smarts in a great-looking gadget, and the sound quality is a nice step up from the smaller Echo Dot, especially if you pair two of them together for a stereo setup. 

You can't go wrong with gifting someone a cozy blanket, especially when it's as soft and luxurious as this one from Barefoot Dreams. Plus, it's machine washable. The waffle knit is also great for use most of the year, as it's not so thick and warm that it needs to be stored after the chilly winter. Even when it's not in use, it can add texture and personality to a couch or chair in a common room. 

This Jonathan Alder model is a nice neutral but graphic choice for a rug. Once you choose your rug style (area, runner or round), you can get it made with a classic or cushioned rug pad, which is best for standing and bending. My rug is larger, so it's more costly, but the 3-by-5-feet version is just as nice to spice up a room, and it's affordable. Ruggable models like this one are machine washable -- that's a lifesaver if you spill something on it.

Sweat-wicking and breathable, these bamboo sheets feel great against your skin, so you can comfortably sleep through the night. This set has two pillowcases, a top sheet and fitted sheet from twin to split king sizes. These sheets are made to never pill and come in seven different colors. Queen-sized sheets are on sale for around $300, which is a great deal. I absolutely love these sheets and find it hard to sleep on anything else.
