The New Home Collection

The best housewarming gifts either get used during the settling-in weeks or become part of the home itself. Gourmet baskets work because new homeowners are unpacking and not cooking. Coffee and tea gift boxes with a French press give them a working kitchen ritual on day one. And pieces meant to stay — a porcelain flower diffuser, an agate photo frame, an entertaining basket with serveware — become part of the house rather than something eaten and forgotten.

New home gifts range from $50 to $265. A gift under $100 like the RIVSALT Seasoning Essentials or Tea Lovers' Bliss suits a neighbor or casual friend. The $95 to $150 range covers most housewarmings: coffee gift boxes, a charcuterie basket with acacia board, a porcelain diffuser. For a close friend, family member, or a real estate closing gift, The Ultimate Home & Entertaining Gift Basket at $265 is the statement choice.

Send something that needs no equipment and no searching through boxes. Coffee and tea gift boxes include the French press, so nothing has to be found first. Gourmet baskets need no plates and no refrigeration. Biggest Little Baskets hand delivers throughout Reno and Sparks, Nevada, and ships nationwide, so a gift can arrive the week they land rather than weeks later.
