What are Carolyn Scott’s top recommendations for housewarming gifts?

For housewarming gifts, I gravitate toward thoughtful, useful, and mood‑boosting items that help people feel “at home” fast. Some favorites pulled from my articles:

• Plants – low‑maintenance greenery, bamboo, or plant gift baskets to freshen the air and add color
• Food baskets – pantry staples, healthy snacks, or vegan treats for easy settling in
• House portraits – a personal, sentimental keepsake
• Practical home items – doormats, utensil crocks, tool kits, nesting bowls
• Cozy or celebratory touches – candles, a nice bottle of wine, vases, or centerpiece bowls
