Add as a preferred source on Google

Few things are as exciting as moving into a new apartment or home. Celebrate your co-worker with new digs and help them feather their nest with a gift that speaks right to them! In most cases, a plant, candle, nice bottle of wine, or homemade baked good makes for a thoughtful housewarming gift – but sometimes, you might want something more one-of-a-kind for someone with more specific tastes. From the martini-maker to the holiday lover to the cold-brew aficionado, this array of goods will help cultivate that sense of home and celebrate the proud new homeowner. Skip the generic gift this time around and choose an item they’ll put to use right away.

This trendy set by Mixology & Craft (a company founded by two brothers passionate about a good cocktail) is sure to take happy hour up a notch. The perfect addition to a home bar, it comes with a weighted martini shaker, strainer, Japanese jigger, and exclusive cocktail recipe cards. Crafted of professional stainless steel, it will stay rust and leak-free after years of martinis and margaritas. Bonus: it’s packaged in a modern, compact tube container for easy gifting.

Few things say “home for the holidays” like the warm glow of candles in the window. Give the gift of a welcoming beacon with this electric window candle, which comes with a pre-installed bulb, a spare bulb, and a suction cup holder to keep candle lights in place. With built-in sensors to turn the candle on at dusk and off at dawn, homeowners won’t have to worry about accidentally leaving the light on.
This 2-in-1 baking sheet and rack by Checkered Chef makes a great gift for the home chef who’s organizing their new kitchen. This pan does it all: baking, cooking, grilling, roasting, and cooling. Durably made, the stainless steel allows for even heat conductivity (i.e., no burnt cookie bottoms), and the rolled pan edges add strength to prevent warping. It also includes a silicone baking mat, helpful to prevent sticking, and is dishwasher safe.
This cold brew coffee maker by Coffee Gator truly has it all! Made of borosilicate glass (a sturdy BPA-free glass that easily handles temperature changes), it has a leak-proof lid, an easy-clean filter cap, a super-fine mesh filter, and a scoop and funnel for measuring ease. This design puts the environment first with reusable filters, and is also easy to clean: simply unscrew the cap at the base of the filter and flush out the grounds.
The old adage tends to be true – people spend most of their time in the kitchen! Take the edge off the nightly dishwashing grind with this eco-friendly, anti-fatigue mat by Sky Solutions. Equal parts supportive and soft, it’s an ergonomic dream. Previous reviewers report this mat is a great remedy for tired feet, and also blends seamlessly into kitchen decor.

Whether they’re renting their first apartment, buying a starter home, or just built their custom dream home, your co-worker fresh off a move will appreciate a gift that says “Congratulations on your new home – may you have many happy memories here!” Spruce up their kitchen with a fresh new sheet pan, add a dose of relaxation with an anti-fatigue mat, help them light up their windows during the holiday season, or add pizazz to their mornings with a state-of-the-art cold brew maker. Throw any one of these picks in a gift bag, add tissue paper and a card, and you’re ready to go!
