Housewarming Gifts- be Creative. My Top 5 Gifts Which Will Cost Less Than a £10 Bottle of Wine

<h1>Housewarming Gifts- be Creative. My Top 5 Gifts Which Will Cost Less Than a £10 Bottle of Wine</h1>Author: <a title="My Linh Duong" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/my-linh-duong/32804.htm">My Linh Duong</a> Buying a house or flat is one of the most important and expensive investment one makes. Having a housewarming party to celebrate the purchase of a new home is becoming increasingly popular. It’s a way, not only to celebrate with friends and family, but also to possibly to receive presents to put into your new home. One of the most popular gifts to take to a housewarming party is a bottle of wine- it’s the easy and relatively cheap option right? However, why not be a little more creative in what you take? It does not have to be hard to find a housewarming gift that will not put a big dent in your pocket. In this article I am going to highlight some unique gifts that cost less than a £10 bottle of wine.

Egglings- I would call this gift the mother of all housewarming gifts. It is quirky, unique, purposeful and cheap. In summary it is a real life growing plant hidden in a fake hard boiled egg. In order for the plant to grow, you just crack the egg and treat the plant as you would normally treat any live plant. There are various plants available, from prickly cactus, Italian parsley, Phlox Flower to Spicy Red Pepper. Price- £5.95

Mango Wood Handcrafted Plate- the description itself would suggests a price tag of over £10, but in fact, at a mere £9.99, this is a wonderful and classy gift for any home owner.

Homor Simpson Talking Hand Bottle Opener- as the name implies, this is novelty item as well as a functional one. Homor Simpson does not only open your bottle of beer, but when doing so, churns out 3 trademark phrases when you pry of the bottle cap:

“To alcohol, the cause of and solution to all life's problems ".

" 80% of the human body is water, in my case its beer ".

" Drink up- not drinking is only going to make it worse".

Price: £7.99

MoodGlow Colour Changing and Scented Candles- these candles bring a fantastic light show along with a hint of fragrance to any home. It has LED technology which allows the candle to change through a spectrum of warm colours. The battery itself, which is replaceable, lasts up to 100 hours. With a vanilla aroma that it emits, this is a cool gift to take to any housewarming party. Price £9.99

Aroma Ducks- we all love the exotic and wonderful smell of fruit. These cute looking ducks are available in Orange, Strawberry, Banana and Mango and I would have to say, the smells are gorgeous! They will sit happily on any table in any room. Price £6.99

I hope that I have given you some gift ideas which does not cost the earth and I am sure you will agree, are a little bit more ‘adventurous’ than a bottle of wine!
