The tradition of housewarming is not merely a formality; it’s a celebration deeply rooted in cultural significance, reflecting a major life milestone. The act of giving and receiving gifts during this occasion adds an extra layer of joy to the event. Nitya Khanna, Founder (Designer) of homecouturecollective.com, suggests five chic and thoughtful gift ideas to make your ‘Grih Pravesh’ or housewarming ceremony special.
COASTER:
A practical and thoughtful gift, coasters are more than just accessories; they are woven for the heart of the home. Opt for a set that reflects the owner’s personality, made from materials like wood, stone, or ceramic. Customizing with names or personalized messages adds a special touch. Consider gifting them in sets as part of a hamper, along with a bottle of wine or other kitchen items.
PLATTER:
A perfect choice for serving snacks, fruits, desserts, and appetizers, platters are both functional and artistic. Choose visually dramatic pieces that complement the home’s color scheme. Stone platters are in vogue for their durability and ease of cleaning. A well-thought-out platter seamlessly blending with the surroundings makes for a great ‘Grih Pravesh’ gift.
URLI:
Often underrated, an Urli is a traditional yet unique gift. Made from materials like stone, wood, or brass, it can be handcrafted with exquisite detailing. Used decoratively with floating flowers, candles, or petals, it becomes an eye-catching piece in the entrance or as a centerpiece on a table. A thoughtful choice for those who appreciate traditional craftsmanship.
BATHROOM SETS:
Transforming bathrooms into personal sanctuaries, stone bathroom sets make an excellent housewarming gift. Unlike metal sets, stone sets are durable and maintain their sheen in water and humidity. Multi-purpose, these sets add a luxurious and eye-catching element to the bathroom. Adorn them with flowers and incense holders for an aromatic and vibrant touch.
SCULPTURES:
Expressive and unique, sculptures add an artistic touch to a home. Choose one that resonates with the new homeowners, representing themes like love, family, strength, or unity. Crafted from materials such as metal, wood, stone, or ceramic, sculptures have a timeless appeal and become enduring pieces of art.
