A reed diffuser perfect for their new house…
The scent of fresh linen and clean air will make this housewarming gift a staple in their new home. It’s got top notes of jasmine and cedarwood, mid notes of lime and sandalwood, and base notes of oakmoss and musk. This comes in a 4-ounce bottle that’ll last them up to three months.

Colorful shakers to liven up their spice rack…
Because everyone uses salt and pepper, so why not house them in the most adorable containers? These tiled shakers are designed with floral motifs and vibrant colors, plus they come with a matching tray for easy display. And if you wanna go all out, take a look at the coordinating garden-tile-designed butter dish, measuring cups, and pie dish. Cutest kitchen ever, coming right up. ($22, Anthropologie)

A wineglass set that’ll keep their wine chilled…
It includes a wine bottle holder that’ll fit most bottle sizes thanks to its adjustable lid, plus two lined tumblers that come with slide-close lids if they wanna take their drinks on the go.

It also comes in seven different colors and can be customized with the new homeowner’s initials or a cute “Happy housewarming” message. ($135.95, Vinglace)
Handmade glass tile coasters…
So they can avoid water stains on all their new furniture. These are thick, durable, and come in nine different color combinations (we love the monochrome options). They’ve also got little pads on each corner to help prevent table scratches. Pssst…these can handle high temps, so they can even use ’em for hot coffee mugs or tea cups. ($18/each, SubtleArtStudios via Etsy)
A customizable smiley throw blanket (or blanket)…
With their initials that’ll act as the smiley face's eyes. This one’s a pink and red motif, knitted with yarn and super-soft, machine-washable acrylic, but there are five other color combos to choose from — like this muted gray and white option. It’s also available in two different sizes. It’s the perfect throw for Netflix nights on the couch, and they’ll think of you every time they cozy up to it. Aw. ($88+, Baublebar)

So they won’t be sliding around at night. The easy slip-on design, wool outer, and comfy high fleece interior make these some of the comfiest shoes they’ll ever own.
