Moving into a new home is a super important life event. If you’ve been invited by a host who’s freshly moved into a home, you best believe you need to show up to the party or your first visit with a beautiful (or thoughtful) gift in tow. While a bouquet isn’t necessarily a bad idea, something to go with it will make you a memorable guest. And, of course, you can order a housewarming gift online, but we’re all for heading out to the shops and making sure your gift is exactly how you imagined it. Here’s a list of the nicest home decor stores you can shop from!

This chain of stores is a great bet when you want to gift a younger person (or couple) who loves colours, digital prints and snazzy patterns.
