There's always room for one more baking dish in someone's collection—especially if it's the Heritage Stoneware Rectangular Covered Casserole by Le Creuset. The rectangular stoneware dish is offered in ten colors and includes a lid, so it's easy to use for serving and storing.

The versatile dish is safe for the oven, broiler, freeze, and microwave. Plus, the enamel-glaze finish means it's easy to clean and resists chips, scratches, and stains. While the dish is a thoughtful gift in itself, if you're attending a housewarming party you can even take it one step further and break in the dish with your favorite recipe.

CB2

Hostesses and design enthusiasts alike will love the look of CB2's Freya Brass Double Taper Candle Holder. The piece has a modern, curved structure that'll look like a piece of art on any dining room table, even when the candles aren't lit.

The candle holder is made of unlacquered brass and can hold two taper candles. It has no protective coating so it'll patina over time, but you can always polish the piece to restore it back to its original look.

A fruit bowl is an item that'll be on display at all times, so it's important that it's as practical as it is stylish. SIN's Fruit Bowl checks all the boxes thanks to a design-forward coiled look any homeowner could appreciate.

The handbuilt, stoneware bowl is offered in two sizes and two neutral colors, each of which can hold a sizeable amount of fruits and vegetables. One of the best parts about it, however, is its versatility. You can drape a tea towel to make it a bread basket, but the bowl will also look like an art piece when it's empty.

The 5x7 frame is offered in two finishes—gold and silver—and features a waved shape throughout. You can gift the frame on its own, but can also take it one step further by including a photo of your favorite memory with the lucky recipient.

You can never go wrong with a candle, but choosing a scent for someone else can be difficult. Unscented options, like Yui Brooklyn's Knot Shaped Candle, are great alternatives as they offer a decorative element without the commitment of a fragrance.

The knotted design is offered in seven colors, each of which is hand poured with a natural soy and beeswax blend. Unlike other candles, the candle is designed to be more decorative than functional, although you can still light the cotton wick if you'd like.

UrbanStems The Catskill

No matter the occasion, flowers are always a good idea. Especially if you're considering a dried arrangement, like The Catskill from UrbanStems, which will last the recipient for months to come.

The Catskill is a textured arrangement of craspedia, thistle, burgundy eucalyptus, mini pampas, and starflowers that comes in a fall-friendly color scheme. The dried floral arrangement doesn't require any water or sunlight, so you don't have to be an experienced plant parent to care for them. The flowers also come with a small white vase, so they'll be ready for display in the recipient's new home.

Just because coasters serve a practical purpose doesn't mean they can't add a touch of style, too. Thompson Street Studio's Landscape Coaster set is designed with a patchwork design that will look like mini pieces of artwork on a coffee table.

The set includes four handmade coasters that are made with cotton and linen. The abstract design includes cream, light brown, white, and gray pieces that make for a neutral design any homeowner can appreciate. They're machine washable as well, so they're easy to care for in case any coffee or wine spills along the way.

The matching set has a green and cream leaf-like motif that's based on old woodblock motifs. Each piece is made of cotton and is machine washable, so it's easy to clean after a few uses.

What to Look For in a Housewarming Gift

Price

From candles to decorative accents and everything in between, the price of a housewarming gift certainly runs the gamut. If you're looking for a budget-friendly gift, consider small yet meaningful options, like a smudge stick or candle. Floral bouquets, picture frames, and glassware are great options if you're looking to invest a bit more.

Style

Interior design is an extension of one's personal style, something to keep in mind when you're shopping for a decorative gift. Whether it's a candle, picture frame, florals, or other small decorative accents, consider fragrances, colors, and size to ensure it'll work well in someone's space.

Functionality

When you're shopping for a housewarming gift, you'll probably be on the hunt for something the homeowner will actually use and enjoy. With that being said, it's important to be mindful that the gift is functional—in other words, don't choose anything too large that'll take up precious counter space or room in a closet. Also, think about the recipient and their preferences. If they're a tea drinker, stray away from gifts that include things like coffee beans or espresso cups.
