Moving in is a big deal, isn’t it? New walls, fresh corners, and all the potential for cosy nights and great company. So, if you’re thinking of gifting something that’s more than just decorative, you’re not alone. Housewarming gifts now tend to be more thoughtful, practical, personal, and often edible or drinkable.

For food lovers and hosts who enjoy the art of a good drink, the best housewarming ideas are often the ones that feel just a little indulgent. Think artisan cheese boards, cocktail gifts that say “let’s celebrate”, or a gin hamper that looks as good as it tastes.

So, this guide’s done the digging for you. Whether you’re choosing for a close friend, a client, or someone with excellent taste, here are seven stylish housewarming presents, with a few gourmet gifts that just might earn you a permanent invite back.

Personalised Cutting Boards

Some gifts, like a custom cutting board, tend to get used again and again—and not just for chopping. They double up as serving trays, cheese platters, or centrepieces for kitchen counters. For anyone who hosts or loves grazing boards, this kind of gift adds a personal touch without being over-the-top.

What makes them stand out is the mix of utility and sentiment. You could go for engraved names, dates, or even a little quote if that’s more their style. And because wood boards come in everything from rustic oak to sleek acacia, they suit just about any kitchen.

Pair it with a trio of cheeses or a pot of artisan chutney, and you’ve got one of those gourmet gifts that’s both stylish and genuinely useful—exactly what the best housewarming ideas are all about.

Elegant Wine Decanter Sets

There’s something about a decanter that makes a drink feel a bit more special. It’s not just for wine, either—plenty of gin lovers use them to showcase infused spirits or limited-edition bottles. So, for hosts who enjoy pouring with flair, this one ticks a lot of boxes.

Decanter sets often include sleek glasses or matching stoppers, which look great perched on a home bar or dining shelf. They’re timeless, but with enough variation in shape and style to suit modern interiors or more classic spaces.

Pair it with a bottle of their favourite tipple, or better still, one of Three Wrens’ more unusual gin gift sets. It becomes one of those cocktail gifts that blends beauty with function—just the thing for someone who appreciates a bit of theatre with their tipple.

Gourmet Spice Collections

For someone who treats their kitchen like a playground, a well-chosen spice set is an absolute treat. Gourmet spice collections, especially those in reusable tins or cork-topped jars, feel a bit like treasure chests for the taste buds.

They’re great for home cooks who enjoy experimenting, or anyone who likes their food to come with a story. Whether it’s a fiery blend from North Africa or a delicate lavender salt, these sets tend to inspire creativity.

Add a handwritten recipe or pair them with a small bottle of infused oil, and it becomes one of those stylish housewarming presents that feels tailored without being too much. It’s a thoughtful shift away from the usual “new home” fare.

Artisanal Cheese Boards

You’d be hard-pressed to find a better way to win someone over than with a beautifully made cheese board. Artisanal ones—especially those crafted from acacia, olive wood, or slate—bring a sense of warmth and occasion to any table.

They’re not just for cheese, either. Add cured meats, figs, and olives, and you’ve got an instant centrepiece. That’s probably why they remain such popular gifts for food lovers. It’s all about presentation and experience.

If you’re feeling generous, include a miniature bottle of Three Wrens gin and suggest a light aperitif to go with the spread. It’s a small detail, sure, but one that turns a great board into an experience worth repeating.

Designer Bar Tool Kits

Cocktail gifts don’t have to be flashy to impress. A smart bar tool kit—think sleek shaker, jigger, muddler and strainer—tends to get a lot more use than you might expect. For the friend who loves trying out new gin recipes or hosting laid-back drinks nights, it’s a thoughtful nod to their inner mixologist.

Some kits even come in zipped cases or wooden boxes, so they double up as stylish housewarming presents. And if you want to make it feel a little more personal, tuck in a cocktail recipe card or two. Something with elderflower and a twist of citrus wouldn’t go amiss if you’re tying it in with a Three Wrens bottle.

Craft Gin Gift Sets

Not all gin gift sets are made equal. The best ones usually bring together great flavour, smart packaging, and a story you want to share. That’s where Three Wrens really stands out. From fruity infusions to earthy, herbaceous blends, every bottle is small-batch and full of character.

For those new to the brand, a tasting box or miniature set is a great introduction. Each one’s beautifully boxed, making them ideal housewarming gifts for gin lovers who enjoy discovering something a bit different. You’re not just giving a drink—you’re handing over an experience.

With options like Apple Crumble or Bison Grass gin, they’ve also got that ‘never had this before’ appeal. So, whether it’s for a close friend or a client with a well-stocked bar, these gin gifts tend to leave a lasting impression.

Luxury Food & Drink Hampers

If you’re aiming for a real showstopper, a gin hamper is hard to beat. Three Wrens curates theirs with the kind of care that makes people pause before unwrapping. They’re packed with flavour, styled with intent, and just a little indulgent—in all the right ways.

Each hamper usually includes a mix of tasting-size gins, premium tonics, and bar-ready garnishes. Some go even further, with etched glasses, snacks to match, or even a little guide on how to build the perfect serve. Here’s what you might find inside:

Miniature bottles of award-winning gin
Handpicked mixers or tonics
Dried garnishes (like orange slices or juniper)
Branded glassware
Sweet or savoury nibbles

These make brilliant gourmet gifts for housewarmings—especially if you’re after something that feels generous but still thoughtful. It’s one of those rare gifts that works for both relaxed evenings in and big celebrations.

Whether you’re buying for a foodie, a cocktail connoisseur, or someone who just loves a well-dressed bottle, these housewarming gifts offer more than just good taste—they show thought.
