The most desired gifts for those who have bought a home (or are thinking of buying one)

Have your best friends realized the dream of buying a house on Lake Maggiore? Ten gift ideas they will thank you for.

A small gift box wrapped in kraft paper with a bright red ribbon sits on a white wooden surface. Attached to the gift box is a decorative metal house-shaped keychain. Next to the gift box is a set of house keys on a keyring. The composition suggests a housewarming gift or new home celebration, with the miniature house charm symbolizing homeownership alongside actual house keys.

The purchase of a villa Lago Maggiore represents for many their lifetime dream: for those who have managed to make it come true, the first Christmas in the new home will be something very special. In order not to be caught unprepared for the next gift exchange, we have in store the ten most desirable gifts for those who have bought a home or are planning to do so soon.

  • Keychain: there are many models, materials and colors, even to customize. For your friends who have bought or are about to buy a house on Lake Maggiore, the delivery of the keys will be the most exciting moment. Wouldn't you like to be present at least with a nice thought?

  • Sofa tray: fine without being too demanding but above all very useful. Suitable for couples who lay the evening herbal tea on it or the friend who will invite you to watch the game and you can leave the beer or cocktail on top of it.

  • Weather station: you often have to deal with the weather, even if the climate is particularly mild like here on Lake Maggiore. This is why this gift, perhaps after a first skeptical glance, can become indispensable.

  • Feng Shui Elephant: the elephant is always a well-wishing sign. Also in this case you can range in materials, decorations, colors.

  • Subscription to a furniture magazine: usually those returning from a tour among houses for sale Lake Maggiore have a lot of ideas that they would like to realize in real solutions for furniture. It is easy to find inspiration between the pages of a magazine. This is why this is the ideal gift for anyone preparing to buy a house.

  • Doormat: sooner or later you absolutely have to go through it. Your gift will therefore not go unnoticed. Look for one that is well suited to the spirit of your friends: a fun gift idea that will surely tear a smile.

  • Terrarium: are your friends fond of long trips to tropical countries and have they decided to make Lago Maggiore their base? Then the gift that will suit them could be a terrarium where to plant exotic plants, beautiful to look at and full of memories.

Find your dream property

  • Glasses of wine: the purchase of a house on Lake Maggiore should be celebrated with a nice toast, even better if in personalized glasses with the names of the friends who have just taken the plunge. If you want to complete the gift, combine it with a nice bottle of sparkling wine, in Veneto there are excellent ones.

  • Photo shooting: a glimpse of the living room, a photo together in the garden, a hug in front of the fireplace. If your friends' house is like a magazine, why not give them a photo shooting to enjoy when all their furnishing dreams are fulfilled?

  • Bonsai: giving a bonsai as a gift means saying something important, affirming that your friendship is solid but still needs to be taken care of day after day. A gift that with due attention can last forever.
