- Offering gifts at a housewarming party provides an opportunity to introduce warmth to someone's new home. Select a warm and caring gift with an idea toward gracing a friend's or loved one's home with your personal touch. Housewarming gift etiquette leaves room for many types of gifts.

Breaking in a new home can bring unexpected needs to the surface. Your host and/or hostess may appreciate a basket of gourmet snack goodies. Gather a bottle of good red wine, gourmet crackers, summer sausage and aged cheddar cheese. Place in a picnic basket lined with a picnic cloth, linen napkins and a picnic table serving for two. - Home baked bread is a homey gift.bread and bread-basket image by AndreyPS from Fotolia.com
Your housewarming gift might bring your host and/or hostess a personal signature. Bake a couple of loaves of bread. Wrap the loaves in colorful cellophane. Add a jar of raw honey and a jar of jam for a sweet touch. Imagine the family waking up the next morning to a light breakfast you provided. - Give a bird house to grace a garden.Bird House image by Bobby4237 from Fotolia.com
Gifts for a garden, patio or balcony make cheerful housewarming offerings. Give the new owners or renters wind chimes to sprinkle the air with ringing notes on breezy days. Consider a decorative planter with a new plant, a bird house or a bird feeder.
