This week two of our favorite people in the world were invited to housewarming parties. Both are in their 20s. It seems that their millennial friends are throwing themselves housewarming parties every time they move to a new apartment. Any excuse to party, right? Hopefully they are doing so as a way to gather together friends and family rather than a ploy to stock their new abode. In either case, yes, you do need to bring a gift! So why not use it as a way to infuse extra meaning into the celebration.
The folks over at Things Remembered did a wonderful job of putting together an article explaining the tradition of housewarming gifting and a list of their 12 favorite housewarming party gifts along with each gift's special meaning.

Both companies sell unique handcrafted or personalized gifts with universal appeal. Continue Reading →

You can even chip in with a few friends to gift one of these fire extinguishers to the host of your next soup swap, cookie exchange, or cooking party. And would this not make a wonderful kitchen shower gift!
