The real estate market is moving & houses are selling so quickly in Knoxville (and so many other places). If you have a friend or loved one who just moved or is about to move, we hope this list of housewarming gift ideas helps you!

Plants or flowers

A bouquet of fresh flowers or a house plant are ways to give thoughtfully & sustainably! Bring a little brightness and liveliness to a new home with colorful blooms or a fun potted plant. Flourish Flower Truck is all over the city throughout the week, check the schedule and pop by to buy a bouquet to gift. Oglewood Avenue is an amazing plant shop just north of downtown with a huge selection of quality plants.

Fancy candle

Lighting a candle can create a sense of calm and peace. Add a cute little matchbox to accompany a candle in case the lighters & matches haven’t been unpacked yet. These candles created by the Homesick Store are so unique- you can shop by destination or go with the “New Home” design.

Fresh bread

There is nothing more comforting than fresh baked goods. In the midst of unpacking and transition, this gift goes a long way. It reminds us to slow down & savor the moment, enjoy the present even in the midst of chaos. We highly suggest grabbing a dozen Paysan bagels or a fresh loaf from the Farmers Market. If you’re looking for something sweet, check out Goodness to Go’s cranberry bars- you won’t be sorry!

Custom Address Stamp

Create a custom return address stamp for a new neighbor or homeowner. Such a thoughtful way to show you care & the practicality is unmatched. This is the perfect gift that many homeowners wouldn’t immediately think to purchase one for themselves!

In-Home Photo Session

What better way to capture the joy and beauty of a new season of life in a new home than with photos. Capture the details, the excitement, and the people who fill your home. Suzy Collins Photography offers in home family sessions and we cannot recommend them enough!

HYD Gift Card

Give the gift of organization! You can give a little or a lot with our HYD Gift Cards. A few hours of unpacking and/or organizing is a great way to help someone settle into their new space. We bring fresh ideas and efficient skills to expedite the unpacking process.
