Housewarming Gift Registry Guide For Every New Homeowner
Just when you thought finding the perfect home was hard, you realise that setting it up is even harder. Choosing the right colour palette, furniture, fixtures and décor can be time consuming and expensive, but is definitely worth it to style your home your way. After all, it is the place we come back to at the end of the day, and we want to be in surroundings that we enjoy. If you are celebrating your new home with a housewarming ceremony, you may end up with gifts from your guests which you may or may not use. Instead, what if you could get exactly what you need with a housewarming gift registry? Here are some essentials you should add on your registry to set up that perfect home.
#1. The Living Room
This is the first place anybody sees when they enter, so it is important for this room to echo your style and personality. Add essentials such as a coffee table, sofa or TV. Don’t shy away from adding big expense items to your registry. The contribute option allows guests to make a part contribution within their budgets, so they are not forced to spend more than they wish to. If you already own the essentials, think about home décor — drapes, wall art or a corner shelf.
#2. The Kitchen
Whether you pride yourself in cooking or simply can’t cook to save your life, a kitchen is important for every home. And the list is really endless when you think about what kitchen essentials to add to your housewarming gift registry. Go for classic tableware, sturdy cookware , ladles and cutlery— these are choices you will never regret. And don’t forget the storage containers, you can never have too many of those. If you are feeling fancy, you can also add kitchen equipment such as stand mixers, food processors, blenders and OTGs.
#3. The Bath
The bathroom is often not the priority when you sit down to make your registry wishlist. But it should definitely not be neglected, it’s just as important as any other room in the house. Quality bath linen and bathroom organizers are good additions to your gift registry. You can even consider adding personal care products or grooming appliances.
#4. The Bedroom
Do you want your bedroom to reflect a cool, calming vibe or a bright, colourful vibe? Bedspreads, mattresses, comforters or pillow covers -the style and colours can really make a difference to your mood, so make sure you add the right ones on your registry.
#5. Outdoor Garden/Patio/Balcony
If you are a crazy plant owner and have the space for gardening at your new place, don’t miss out your hobby essentials on the registry. Decorative planters, vases and potted plants make nice additions to your registry. You can also take it up a notch with earthy stone urlis or rustic garden figurines.
#6 For The Entertainer
A new home means a lot of people will be visiting you. Make sure you are well prepared to entertain the crowd. Stylish barware and elegant serveware are worthy additions to your registry. You can also explore adding barbecue grills if you have the space to host outdoor parties. With these on your list, your house parties are always done right!
So, there you go. Simply add what you need for your home on your housewarming gift registry and share the list with guests, who can then buy or contribute towards anything on your wishlist. You get what you need, and guests know what to buy — it’s a win-win!
