You can go the literal route with candles, or get creative with a sculptural water-filter-slash-carafe

Wherever they’ve landed, choosing the right housewarming gift can be tricky, not least because the range of things to buy is so wide.
$28 at The Break Buy Boy Smells Kush Candle James-Williams, meanwhile, suggests soy-based candles from Boy Smells, a brand we’ve become quite familiar with since designating it as the next status candle. When it comes to which Boy Smells scent to give, James-Williams likes Kush: “It’s warm, romantic, and captivating with a smoky finish,” she says.
$55 at REVOLVE Buy $55 at Mr. Porter Buy Bodha Smokeless Incense For homes with sensitive smoke alarms, Canyon Coffee founders Ally Walsh and Casey Wojtalewicz recommend giving this smokeless incense. “Emily from Bodha creates the most beautiful smells,” according to Walsh. “In addition to the smokeless quality, the packaging alone makes it a perfect gift to give.”
$14 at Amazon Buy $15 at Walmart Buy Our Place Always Pan Perhaps you want to give one pan, but are looking to splurge. This pan, recommended by James-Williams, is “one pan that can do everything,” making it worth its higher price tag, according to her.
$55 at Amazon Buy $55 at Bed Bath & Beyond Buy Hay Rectangular Chopping Board Jaime says these fancy plastic chopping boards from Strategist-approved brand Hay make for another functional — but also stylish — housewarming gift. “They’re not your typical wood board” she told us, noting that “they come in the most beautiful colors.” When she’s not using hers as a cutting board, Jaime told us that it doubles as a neat tray for a cheese plate or other spread.
$60 at Goop Buy LeJoy Garden Seed Sprouter $13 When James-Williams moved into her home, the most helpful housewarming gift was a sprouter, which makes it easy to grow greens and certain vegetables like broccoli, cress, and chives. “I am a big advocate of creating your own food,” she says, “and my sprouter still sits in my window.”
$88 at Need Supply Buy CB2 Overlook Throw Two of our experts cited blankets as a great housewarming gift to make a new home more cozy. “If a friend ever needs an ear, they come over and sit on my comfy couch with tea and a throw blanket,” James-Williams says, telling us that she loves CB2’s blankets for their combination of quality and not-astronomical pricing.
$20 at Amazon Buy $20 at Amazon Buy Safe Space Kenesha Sneed Print James-Williams told us that her first housewarming gift was a piece of artwork from her mother, and that prints in general can be a thoughtful gift if you know the type of art your recipient likes. She specifically suggested gifting an affordable print from artist Kennesha Sneed, who is known for her depictions of black female bodies and whose work has been commissioned by The New Yorker, Apple, and Netflix, to name just a few.
Marchesi de Frescobaldi Laudemio Extra Virgin Olive Oil After Condé Nast Traveler editor Corina Quinn received a bottle of olive oil fresh from Italy as a gift a few years ago, she got an idea that has served her well ever since. “Fancy olive oil makes the perfect housewarming gift,” she told us. “People won’t splurge on olive oil for their home, but it lasts a lot longer than wine does, and is also a more selfless gift than booze, which comes with the pressure to open immediately.
