Making the Perfect Housewarming Gift Basket
A good housewarming gift should be warm, practical, and easy to enjoy right away. Instead of the usual wine or candles, try putting together a gift basket filled with items that support everyday comfort. Maybe a matcha tea set for early mornings, calming herbal blends for unwinding in the evening, or a café-grade matcha they can use to explore new matcha recipes in their new space. Let's get started!

Japanese Kyusu Set
Housewarmings are a meaningful way to celebrate new beginnings, and a thoughtful gift can make the moment even more special. Handcrafted Japanese pottery has long been a popular choice for its timeless appeal and cultural richness. Our collection features authentic Kyusu teapots from Japan, each made using methods passed down through generations. A Kyusu is a traditional Japanese teapot, most often designed with a side handle for easy pouring and a built-in clay or mesh filter ideal for brewing loose-leaf green teas. Each set in our collection includes one Kyusu teapot and two matching cups. These teapots are beautiful and are designed for daily use. Whether your loved one is a tea enthusiast or simply enjoys well-made things, a handmade Kyusu makes a memorable, lasting gift idea for their new home.
Finishing Touches for a Memorable Tea Gift Basket
The perfect gift is something they can start using from day one. To complete your gift basket, consider adding a few thoughtful details that add to the set for a holistic tea experience. When it comes to avid tea drinkers, there are a few go-to additions you really can't go wrong with. Here are some of our top picks.
Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder
A great ceremonial set deserves equally great matcha, and our ceremonial-grade matcha powder is a standout addition to your gift basket. Sourced from Japan and stone-ground with care, it's made from premium spring leaves picked during the first harvest. The result is a smooth, naturally sweet powder with a gentle umami note that's perfect for both daily rituals and special occasions. USDA and JAS certified, this premium quality matcha offers a clean, pure tea experience your loved ones can truly enjoy.
Café Grade Matcha Powder
Grown in Japan, this café-grade matcha is a blend of first-harvest (early spring) and second-harvest (early summer) tea leaves, offering both freshness and consistently high quality. It's perfect for those who love to experiment in the kitchen, with a rich yet smooth flavor that stands out beautifully in lattes, smoothies, and baking. Sourced from Yokkaichi in Mie Prefecture, this matcha is naturally gluten-free and sugar-free, making it a favorite among both baristas and chefs. It's also 100% USDA Organic and JAS Organic Certified, grown without the use of harmful chemicals or pesticides. Each batch is independently tested for lead, heavy metals, radiation, and over 250 agricultural chemicals, so that your loved ones can enjoy every cup with peace of mind.
Calm and Relax Herbal Tea, 60 Bags
Moving into a new home is exciting, but it can also be a little exhausting. That's where our Calm & Relax Tea comes in as a thoughtful housewarming gift, reminding your loved ones to pause and recharge. This caffeine-free herbal blend is crafted from 12 all-natural ingredients, including lemon balm leaves and chamomile flowers for their soothing properties, as well as peppermint leaves for a refreshing, calming scent. Sourced from the pristine Carpathian Mountains, each ingredient is carefully cultivated to support rest and relaxation. Each box includes 60 fresh tea bags, offering a generous supply of calm for evenings to come. Naturally caffeine-free and gluten-free, it's a simple, comforting way to unwind after a long day of settling in.
Organic Honey
The best tea pairing for a good cup of tea? A fine bottle of organic honey. Whether paired with earthy matcha or a calming herbal blend or loose teas, a bit of honey can bring just the right touch of natural sweetness. It's a thoughtful addition to any tea-focused gift, especially if the recipient enjoys a slightly sweet finish to their cup.
Scented Candle
Scented candles make for amazing housewarming gifts because they help turn a new space into a home. Moving in often comes with a mix of excitement and chaos, and a candle can offer an immediate sense of calm. The right scent can bring warmth to a new room, help create a comforting routine, and even evoke a sense of nostalgia or peace. They're easy to use, don't take up much space, and work well in any part of the home or home decor, from entryways and living rooms to bedrooms and baths.
Finding the Right Housewarming Gift for Your Loved Ones
Housewarmings may be small, informal occasions, but they hold real meaning. They mark the start of something new. A thoughtful gift can add to that experience in a meaningful way. Something like a ceremonial matcha tea set isn't just a beautiful addition to their kitchen; it's something they'll actually use and appreciate. Whether it's for a personal morning ritual or when hosting friends, it becomes an integral part of their day-to-day life. And each time they use it, they will remember the people who shared in that moment of transition and joy. We hope this guide has helped you find something meaningful, something that goes beyond the usual and helps your loved ones feel even more at home in their new space.
