10 for $10: Housewarming Edition
Spring is the season for the movers and shakers of the world to come out. Or really, it’s just a season for moving – houses are springing up on the real estate market as many folks seek their new dream home. If you’re invited to a housewarming this summer, here are 10 gift ideas under $10 that’ll still have a welcome place in their home.
TRUDEAU Measuring Spoons Set – $4.99 @ Hudson’s Bay
Everyone needs measuring spoons – in fact I’d recommend two sets in case one gets dirty mid-recipe. These cute and colourful ones make it easy to distinguish your tsp from a tbsp!
La Collection Francaise Foaming Hand Soaps – $6.50 each @ Bath & Body Works
Bath & Body Works soaps are synonymous with housewares these days – bring one as a sweet housewarming gift they’ll fully get use out of. This new spring floral collection is inspired by Paris for extra style.
Grapefruit Saver – $5.99 @ Bed, Bath & Beyond
I love these little plastic produce savers – way more eco-friendly than disposable wrap and they totally work. This one is idea for grapefruits but really works for any citrus!
Novelty Beer Glasses – $8 each @ Urban Barn
Toast to a new home by raising a funny beer glass. With four styles to choose from, all that’s missing is a six-pack of their favourite brew.
Yankee Candles Tea Light Sets – $9.99 each
Available in a range of sumptuous scents, these 12-packs of tea lights will go a long way. Place them in glass candle holders or just light one in any corner that needs a fresh aroma.
Core Bamboo 3-Piece Flatware Set – $8 @ Urban Outfitters
Yes, you can even help set the table for under $10. These trendy sustainable flatware collections are both recyclable and reusable – and idea for al fresco dining.
Epicea Pepper & Daisy Jelly – $8.15 @ Foodie Pages
A pantry sundry is always a welcome treat for a housewarming. Foodie Pages collates indie food brands from across Canada for homegrown flair, like this spicy-sweet jelly from Quebec.
Anigram Cat Ring Holder in Nickel – $8 @ Umbra
Shopping for the newlyweds? Give ’em somewhere to stash their rings while washing the dishes or DIYing around the house.
KSP Slate + Porcelain Serving Tray – $4.99 @ Kitchen Stuff Plus
Your giftee will never guess that this lovely little gift is under $10. Perfect for fixing an afternoon snack or hosting a friend for some gossip and wine.
Tea Towels – $10 each @ Indigo
Add a little colour to your kitchen with these whimsical tea towels. Available in two tropical designs they’re perfect to brighten up today’s minimalist cooking spaces.
