We’ve spent some time scouring the web to find the best unique housewarming gifts online for you to give to your friends or family. Forget your spatulas, toasters and plungers; we’re looking to bring something different to new movers this Christmas with extra-special personalised gift ideas. Here’s the best of what we found:
A Jigsaw Puzzle of the Local Area

You simply send off the postcode of your new-mover’s address and postcode and they’re provided with a custom jigsaw in either 255 or 400 piece sets. Every single jigsaw is unique with a house shaped icon in the chosen location. What better way could there be to learn the local area?

Scrabble Signs!
Another purchase from @notonthehighst for the new house! 🙂 love it! 🙂 pic.twitter.com/ogJaIs6a — Suki GibsonBlomquist (@lilpinkmuffin) November 28, 2012
Whether rooms or names, scrabble signs offer full word customisation and a bit of fun. We wonder if Xs, Qs and Zs cost more money!

A Drawing of the New Property
Can I draw your home?? a great gift from £38 @notonthehighst http://t.co/xUZybBzzN9 pic.twitter.com/ovaZJB2hsd — lucy sheeran (@lucysheeran) October 19, 2015
A hand-drawn, colourwash style house illustration is a beautiful looking gift for any new-mover. You can even incorporate details such as people, cars or pets to make it really personal. We think these would look fantastic in an entrance hall or stairway.

Co-ordinate cushions!
Great housewarming gift idea!. This shows the longitude /latitude coordinates of their home!. Fun & unique gift!. pic.twitter.com/xpVDLhzv0y — girliture (@girliture) October 20, 2014
We’re a big fan of these cosy cushions. The only issue might be finding the co-ordinates! We found that Google Maps is a good tool to use for this, simply find the destination on the map, right click and chose ‘What’s here’.

An Aerial Photo
Looking for the best Christmas present?: a personalised gift voucher for an aerial photograph. http://t.co/s24Zj7AGza pic.twitter.com/b9FcDfWwgd

With the latest drone technology, local providers are able to fly a camera up into the sky and get some great shots of properties. Bonus tip: have the new residents wave from an upstairs windows or the back garden whilst the shots are being taken.
