New home gift ideas
A new home calls for a large vase for the entrance, an arrangement or a basket for the majlis, or chocolate and sweets for the first invitation, arriving once they have settled rather than on moving day. On moving day everyone is exhausted and boxes are everywhere; a week later the house is in order and the majlis is ready for its first guests. If you have not seen their new decor, suggest 2 to 8 gifts on Haddiyah: the owner keeps the one that matches their taste and sets the new address from the link, and all the congratulations gifts are delivered in Riyadh and Jeddah.
A large vase for the entrance or the majlis
The first new home gift is a vase of flowers that arrives arranged with its water and is in place within a second: on the entrance table or at the head of the majlis. The larger sizes fit best, because a new house does not have much furniture yet. See congratulations vases.
An arrangement or a basket for the first invitation
If you know the first invitation is near, send a large flower basket or flowers with chocolate that sits in the majlis and is opened for the guests. See congratulations baskets and flowers and chocolate for congratulations.
Chocolate and sweets for the first guests
A new home brings visitors in the first two weeks, and chocolate and sweets are what gets served to them. A large box or an assortment of baklava and petit fours covers more than one invitation. See congratulations chocolate.
From the group: one large gift
When the group pools for a friend's new home, one large arrangement in everyone's name beats scattered gifts. If you cannot agree on the look, pick several arrangements from the same level and let the owner choose the one that suits their majlis. See congratulations gifts for friends.
For a colleague who moved
A colleague's gift is lighter: a medium vase or a box of chocolate from the department, delivered to the new home at a time they set. See congratulations gifts for colleagues.
Before you send
- Send it a week after the move, not on the day. The owner of the new home sets a time when they are there.
- Nobody knows the new address yet, and that is exactly what the link solves: they set the location on the map themselves.
- Choose the larger sizes: a new house is empty, and a small vase gets lost in it.
- If the gift is from the group or the family, pool for one large arrangement in everyone's name instead of five small gifts crowding the table.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best gift for a new home?
A large vase of flowers that goes straight into the entrance or the majlis, because it is the first thing guests see. After that, chocolate and sweets for the first invitation in the house.
When should I send a new home gift?
About a week after the move, when the house is in order and they start receiving guests. On moving day itself nobody is free to receive it.
I do not know the new address. What do I do?
You do not need it. You enter the owner's name and mobile, and they get a link to set the new home's location on the map and the delivery time.
Is a new home gift right for a colleague?
Yes, and it is lighter: a medium vase or chocolate, with the card from the department. See congratulations gifts for colleagues.
