One of the most important days in our lives is when we have a new home which we can call our own. The day is even more special when you have some one to share it with. A new home is something that we all look forward to have. India is a land of ceremonies and before one actually starts living in a house various pujas are performed and guests invited. This ceremony is known as the house warming ceremony.
As a ritual people gather for the puja, sit through it and disperse for a sumptuous meal. Before they leave, they give presents to the host. The gifts may be personal or an item of utility for their new home. It may be your friend's home or an acquaintance's, make sure to choose the appropriate gift for their new abode.
Housewarming gifts may be varied. You could pick up gift items like vases, showpieces, paintings, handicraft items and wall hangings to be used as decorative items. It is also customary and considered auspicious to gift utensils. Utensils today come in different forms from 'cook and serve lit ware' to the very Indian copper bottom utensils. Conventional copper jug, copper steel handi and copper kalash make excellent housewarming gifts.
Besides this you could also gift jewelry box, brass minakari bowl, gem stone key holder, Ganesha idol and items of utility like a wall timepiece. Handcrafted paintings on marble and metal embossed wall hangings also make artistic housewarming gifts. Diwan set; set of cushion covers, exquisite bed sheets, quilts and other Egyptian cotton bed sheet sets are well thought out gift options for a new home.
No home is complete without a puja room .Various puja items like puja thali, authentic Peacock Divi, Lakshmi arti, brass lamp, vaastu good luck Ganesha and Brass two step Divi could be gifted. If you know that the host believes in 'Feng Shui' then you may buy gifts like the good luck bamboo plant, Feng Shui coins and wind chimes.
For those living abroad you may send housewarming gifts to India by availing the online shopping options. If you have family living abroad and you cannot make it to their housewarming ceremony send gifts to U.S. Canada and other countries through these online marts.
It is often said that 'its better late than never' hence if you know that someone close to you is setting up their new home, do not be the last one to send gifts to India for a new house. Browse through the product category and choose the gift of your choice. You will find yourself beaming when you see the host's face radiant with joy at your thoughtfulness!
