Did your college pal, brother, or significant other just buy a cozy new home or sleek bachelor pad? Well, hopefully, your boyfriend didn’t buy a bachelor pad, but if one of the men in your life took the real estate leap, you might want to show your support with a housewarming gift.
Of course, you don’t want to add clutter to the move-in chaos, so finding a useful present or one that reflects his interests is essential. We compiled a list of 50 housewarming gifts for men that will warm his heart and not have him reaching for a gift receipt.
50 Cool Housewarming Gift Ideas for Men
Whether he moved into his first apartment or a new house, you shouldn’t have to stress over finding a great gift. Just check out this list of unique gifts that could make anywhere feel like home.
Beeropoly Beer Game
He may not be playing beer pong at his college fraternity house anymore, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to retire from all drinking games. Beeropoly might be the only gift he actually uses at his housewarming party. It comes with dice and supplies for up to six people, but you could always use your own bottle caps to add extra players. Practice your dance moves and rhymes, because it’s about to be a good time.
Bob Ross Toaster
Maybe his new house doesn’t have room for happy little trees, but he could bring Bob Ross’ positive vibes to his breakfast routine with this themed toaster. It adds Bob Ross’ face and signature hairdo to your toast and includes a quick-stop function and adjustable temperature to prevent any happy accidents, as Ross would say.
SOPAT Extra Thick Mattress Topper
Has he been toting around that same old mattress from his college days? We get it; mattresses can be a significant investment. But a mattress topper can be a small investment with a substantial impact on his sleep. This one is made with a 100% cotton cover and breathable microfiber filling to keep him cool and comfy. It’s also machine washable, so he won’t have to worry about lingering odors.

We don’t have to taco-bout the dinosaurs’ eventual extinction, but we can discuss how much fun mealtime will be with these triceratops and t-rex taco holders. They’re dishwasher-safe and designed for hard shell tacos, but we suspect you could squeeze a softshell in there. This is definitely one of our quirkiest housewarming gifts for guys.
