Housewarming Gift Baskets

Housewarming Gift Baskets

How do you choose an appropriate gift for a new home? A housewarming gift is really a gesture that says "Congratulations and good luck in your new home." Sometimes the best housewarming care packages are those that provide some sustenance during the chaotic days of moving and unpacking. A housewarming gift basket of fresh fruit is always welcomed and a safe choice if you are not sure of the décor and tastes of your recipient.

The lovely tradition of giving bread as part of a housewarming party gift has a long history. Bread symbolizes the wish that the people living in the new home never going hungry. We offer several gift baskets for housewarming parties that feature an exquisite walnut bread ring from Balthazar Bakery which also include olive oil (a traditional Italian house warming gift symbolizing health and well-being) and balsamic vinegar.

Filling the cabinets and refrigerator can be a challenge during a move. Our Early Bird Breakfast and new home gift baskets with granola, seasonal jam, Clementine juice and fresh fruit or our Bagel Brunch housewarming baskets with smoked salmon, cream cheese, bagels, and capers are very thoughtful gifts for the new home that bring breakfast to the table.

Wine is also a traditional housewarming gift in many cultures symbolizing the wish that no one in the home will ever go thirsty. Any of our fine food housewarming gifts can be combined with bread and/or wine to make a hearty gift for a housewarming party and delight a person or family as they settle in. Choose from gifts featuring Smoked Salmon, Artisanal Cheeses, or Prosciutto & Reggiano-Parmigiano.

While many of our gifts are appropriate as housewarming food gifts, we have also chosen our Good Tidings as one of our quintessential housewarming gift baskets because it features fresh fruit for immediate enjoyment and a box of unabashedly decadent chocolate-dipped dried fruit for nibbling over days of unpacking boxes.
