You can save them so much trouble by simply gifting them with homemade disposal fresheners. It will barely take you 10 minutes to make some.

I love this idea, and it will look so cute on their front porch. It’s a handmade pot with at least two plants and a home address.

It’s unique, and the couple will love you for it.

5. A DIY Cleaning Basket

The basket contains crucial things that the couple is likely to forget to buy immediately they move in. They include detergents, trash bags, disinfecting wipes, bathroom cleaner, carpet cleaner, a toolset, a first aid kit, etc.

Buy all those small things and neatly pack them in a basket, tie a ribbon around the basket. And voila! You have a housewarming gift for the couple.

6. DIY Coffee Basket

As I always say, ‘A Couple that Takes Coffee Together, Sticks Together.’

And we all need coffee to jumpstart our minds in the morning. For most couples, the only time they get to stop and talk before a long workday is in the kitchen making coffee.

This DIY basket will help them start the routine earlier on in their new house.

I loved this simple coffee basket by April; it’s so creative and cheap. Check it out.

7. Mug Herbal Garden

This is a beautiful addition to any home décor, and every home should have a few plants.

Many couples appreciate plant gifts in their new home. They see it as a chance to start nurturing stuff in their home and becoming more responsible.

You can also give them potted cacti or succulent. It would look so cute as a kitchen display.

8. Cookie Mix in a Jar

Many homemade gifts come in jars because jars are cute and very functional on their own. For this gift, prepare different types of cookies for the couple and put them in a jar.

The couple will enjoy the cookie, and they can use the jar for storing other stuff or for display.

9. Flower Vase with Fresh Flowers

We all appreciate flowers; they’re beautiful and somewhat sentimental. You can buy a few fresh flowers from the local grocery store and a beautiful vase from Etsy.

This is an amazing housewarming gift because the couple can still use the vase for other purposes.

10. Wooden Spoons

Plain wooden stamps are boring, but you can do a few things to make them special. For starters, you can print out some of your best recipes and pack them together.

You can also add some linen bags or stamp the spoons.

I know all this sounds confusing, but this blog from Farmhouse Chick Blog explains all the steps with pictures.
