Welcoming someone into their new home means offering a gesture of comfort, warmth, and a salutation that leaves them with their best feelings. One of my favorite housewarming gifts to make is this DIY housewarming essentials gift basket. It is filled with everything a new homeowner needs when situating into a new space, including paper towels, toilet paper, cleaner, sponges, and some of the best-smelling home fragrances from Glade® to help liven up each room in the home. This gift idea is such a great way to say “congratulations on your new home!”

What to put in a housewarming gift basket

Putting together this new home gift basket was very easy! I used the fruity and calming fragrances of the Glade® Lavender & Peach Blossom candle as inspiration for this practical housewarming gift basket full of everything from “must-have” cleaning and pest control products to cleaning and storage items. If you would like to make your own housewarming gift basket, you can add the items we have listed or some others – soaps, cleaners, tissue boxes, towels, laundry detergent, batteries, light bulbs – anything you think would work in your basket. Here’s what you’ll need:

• 3-4 individual Glade® Candles
• 2 Automatic Fresheners
• 1 bottle of Scrubbing Bubbles® Heavy-Duty All-Purpose Cleaner
• 1 bottle of Pledge® Lemon Clean Furniture Spray
• 1 box Ziploc® brand bags
• 1 pack Raid® Ant Baits
• 1 roll of paper towels
• 2 rolls of toilet paper
• 2 dish sponges
• 1 woven basket
• Clear cellophane wrap
• Gift tissue paper
• Wired ribbon

Putting your home gift basket together

Crinkle up a few sheets of your favorite colored tissue paper and place them into the bottom of the basket. Next, take your assortment of home and cleaning products and arrange them from tallest in the back to shortest to the front in the basket. For example, taller items such as paper towels and cleaners would go in the back of the basket, while the remaining contents, like candles, would be placed in the front. If you’d like to give a particular item more height or fill up empty space, simply place another wad of gift tissue where applicable.

Wrap up your gift basket

Once all of your items are arranged, measure the clear cellophane wrapper around the basket, making sure each side of the basket is completely covered. Secure the wrapping with clear tape on the bottom of the basket. Finally, tie the wired ribbon around the girth of the basket, making a large bow on the front. Your DIY housewarming gift basket is complete!
