Remember your first place together? What an exciting time! Newlyweds, old or young, need their own space. Even if they haven’t tied the knot, all couples want to celebrate when they finally move in together.
You want to congratulate them on this new chapter in their life, but you don’t want to get a stale gift that will end up being regifted. (How embarrassing would it be if you received this gift next time you moved!) Help them create the ultimate love nest with these romantic housewarming gifts for couples that they will cherish for a long time.
1. King and Queen Wine Glasses
Housewarming gifts for couples to celebrate their new home
They say every man is the king of his castle. Beside every king is his queen. Pair these his and her wine glasses with a bottle of their favorite, and toast to their new found royalty.
Of course they will need a place to store these glasses. Give them wine glass storage where their glassware doesn’t stay hidden away in a cabinet.
If they enjoy trying out new hobbies, you can give them a wine making starter kit to create their own libations. These gifts revive traditional housewarming gifts in ways that kindle romance.
2. Inflatable Hot Tub
Romantic house warming gifts for couples
What is more romantic than a relaxing soak in a hot tub with the one you love? While hot tubs can be pricey, an inflatable one is more affordable. Why not get them this irresistible gift for their love shack? This way they can soothe sore muscles after all that unpacking and rearranging furniture.
They will also need a hot tub mat to protect this luxury from the cement on their patio. And don’t forget a chemical starter kit. Get some friends to chip in to give all three gifts. If you choose a hot tub that seats four, you might get lucky and be invited over for a soak!
3. Heart Shaped Waffle Iron
Best housewarming gifts for couples
Ahh, breakfast in bed. Remember those days when you just couldn’t do enough for each other? Help them create special memories in their new home with fixin’s for a romantic start to the day. They can say I love you with heart shaped waffles.
And a juicer will provide the freshest juice for their beloved. In addition they will appreciate a breakfast tray to deliver the goods.
4. Pool Float for Two
Fun housewarming gift ideas for couples
If their new living arrangement includes a pool, get them a floating lounger that they can both enjoy.
Better yet, add a floating drink and snack holder. This holds a bottle of wine, a bottle opener, a few snacks, as well as glassware. Now they won’t need to get out of their cozy lounge to enjoy refreshments.
Make it a party for two by giving them a floating bluetooth speaker with lights. Then they can enjoy their playlist while floating idly along, even at night.
5. Homemade Pasta Maker
Housewarming gifts for newlyweds
Sometimes moving in together can turn soul mates into business partners. Paying bills, home improvement projects, and sticking to a budget can make them feel more like accountants than lovers. Don’t let that happen. A pasta maker can help them create romantic dinners. Pasta is a symbolically romantic meal. Remember Lady and the Tramp? They can even eat this traditional Italian dish from the same bowl while being serenaded by some Italian classics.
They don’t need to stick to Italian food to keep romance alive. A Cooking for Two Cookbook will give them endless meals ideas. Cooking together can be a bonding experience after a long day at work. Add some candlestick holders, and light those candles for a date night at home.
6. Kissing Mugs
Moving in gifts for couples
My daughter always says you can never have too many mugs. With a set of kissing mugs they can start each day on the right foot. Even if their schedules don’t allow for shared coffee time, using their half of the set will keep their loved one on their mind all day.
Hectic schedules call for a single serve brewer. This way they can brew as much as they need. After all, they have a mortgage to pay now. They need to conserve money.
For another budget tip, give them reusable k cups. Filling these from their own bag of coffee saves money and eliminates extra packaging, which benefits the environment as well.
7. Outdoor Bar
Good housewarming gifts for couples with a yard
My new neighbors are enjoying their backyard after years living in an apartment. As the only couple in their friend group with outdoor space, they do a lot of entertaining. You can add to your couple’s festivities by christening their home with an outdoor bar.
They will also need an outdoor bluetooth speaker to blast their favorite playlists. Some of these even double as lanterns so the party can continue long after the sun has set.
With or without guests, a fire table will have them cuddling together outdoors even when the weather turns cool.
8. His and Hers Bathrobes
Housewarming gift ideas for older couples
By a certain age, people have accumulated more than enough household items. An older couple already has several sets of plates, kitchen utensils, and furniture. Why not get them something cozy instead. Their old bathrobes are probably in tatters. Start their life in their new place with a set of matching bathrobes.
No matter how much stuff they have collected over the years, every new home needs a new shower curtain. Choose one of these romantic shower curtains to decorate the bathroom. Don’t forget a his and hers towel set as well!
9. Satin Sheet Set
Housewarming gift for young couples
A new place also requires new sheets. Instead of traditional cotton, go for some sexy satin sheets instead.
Young couples might not have adjusted to sharing their sleeping space yet. A couple’s split blanket separates so no one can steal the covers!
For young folks in shape or those who want to get there, a stripper pole will add a little extra spice in the bedroom. Just make sure they have a good sense of humor!
10. Set of Dinnerware
First home gifts for couples
With a first home comes new responsibilities, such as cooking. It’s time to say goodbye to take-out containers and paper plates. Get them a set of dinnerware with enough settings to serve friends.
Hand me down pots may have sufficed during single life, but a first home together requires a new set of pots and pans.
To add to the romance, give them a set of heart shaped wooden spoons.
11. Microwave Popcorn Maker
Housewarming presents for couples for date night
With a mortgage weighing them down, they may not get out for as many date nights as they like. No problem. They can have a movie night or game night in their new place. Microwave popcorn makers use traditional kernels, making them healthier than the prepackaged stuff in the bag. They also are easy to clean which is an added bonus.
For a date night gift basket tuck in a popcorn seasonings pack and popcorn kernels so they can use this gift right away.
