Thoughtful housewarming gift ideas
Hey babe ! How’s your day? It’s been a month since we have moved into #HomeScottHome and we’ve been loving every second of making our house feel like a home. Our friends and family have warmed our hearts by coming over to check out the new digs with thoughtful gifts in hand.
If we are being honest with each other, I’m not the world’s best gift giver so I rely heavily on gift guides + ideas from others. After sifting through gifts, I noted a few of our favorites to compile a list of thoughtful housewarming gifts. I hope you find this list helpful in a time of what the heck do I get them for their new place?!
I would love to hear from you!

9 SPECIAL HOUSEWARMING GIFT IDEAS:
Cutting and or cheese board
How adult of us, right? It makes a great gift, especially for the foodie in your life. If you’re looking to go the extra mile get the board monogrammed. Here are a few of my favorites:
Ring Doorbell
For the stay at home mom, frequent traveler or someone who simply makes their safety a priority –a video doorbell from Ring is a gift that will keep on giving. Robby and I have our house fully installed with security devices from Ring and could not be happier with how safe we feel. Between our never ending travels and the fact that I work from home, seeing who is knocking at our front door before having to peep out the window brings a piece of mind.

A Welcome Mat
Give them doormat that will make every future visitor right at home. The thing about doormats is that you can have fun with them, but knowing your audience is key.
