Olive wood housewarming gift for the new kitchen

Most housewarming gifts are quickly forgotten. A piece of olive wood for the new kitchen stays and gets used every day. What matters, with or without engraving.

Handgefertigter Mörser mit Stößel aus Olivenholz auf Leinentuch – Einzugsgeschenk für die neue Küche

For a housewarming you like to give something for the new home, and in the end it's yet another candle, a bottle of wine or the obligatory house plant. Lovely for the moment, forgotten after a week. A piece of olive wood for the new kitchen is the opposite: it is unwrapped, used straight away and stays in use for years.

Why olive wood is the better housewarming gift

A new kitchen rarely has too many beautiful things. A cutting board, a serving platter or a bowl in olive wood fills exactly the gap between “I need it” and “I'd never have treated myself to it.” It is useful enough to be used daily, and beautiful enough to be left out on the worktop. On top of that, olive wood is dense and sturdy and, with a little care, lasts a lifetime. The gift will outlive the next three moves.

What works well

  • A cutting board, the most honest housewarming gift, in use every day.
  • A serving platter for the first housewarming party in the new place.
  • A set of bowls for olives, dips or nuts when guests come.

To play it safe, choose a board: it fits any kitchen and any household. To the collection

Personal with an engraving

A beautiful gift becomes a personal one when a name is on it. For a housewarming, the family name, the move-in date or the address of the new home all work well. A line or two is enough. In the engraving studio you choose a piece, enter the text and see at once how the engraving looks in the wood.

Why wood instead of a gift card

A gift card is never wrong and seldom remembered. A piece of olive wood with the family name on it is neither. It is a concrete object that belongs to the new home. That is exactly what makes it a gift: it was meant for this one kitchen.

Whoever is looking for a special olive-wood housewarming gift is best ordering in good time. To the collection
