  In order to find the right housewarming gift for a guy, his needs and interests should be put into immediate consideration. Traditionally, housewarming gifts are bought for families or couples and include candles, house plants, or common appliances and decorative home items. Most men would appreciate gifts that reflect their character and those they would utilize often. Therefore, it is important to consider your guy friend's lifestyle when purchasing his housewarming gift.
  
  

Easy Home Decorating

• Without a lady of the house present and depending on your guy friend's hobbies, home décor may not be very popular in his new place. Help "warm" his new home and spice up its appearance by providing gifts that will make decorating easy. Ready-to-hang or magnetic curtain rods are ideal for renters and people not big on decorating. These easy-to-hang rods make installing, changing, and removing curtains hassle-free without drilling and without nails. The gift of a picture-hanging kit is also a helpful offering. No matter how little or how much a person likes to decorate, almost everyone will want to hang pictures of some sort. Many stores sell picture-hanging kits complete with all the supplies necessary to hang various sizes of picture frames.
  
  

Convenient Cooking Appliances

• The majority of men who live alone do not cook full-course meals for themselves very often. Presenting your guy friend with a gift that will allow him to easily prepare a hot meal could save him calories and money from eating out regularly. Useful, easy-to-use appliances and kitchen gadgets could be just the thing for a guy who has a few minutes to spare to create meals at home. An electric countertop grill makes preparing healthier grilled meats and veggies fast and easy. If your guy friend's kitchen did not come equipped with a microwave, buying him one could be beneficial. Also, a Panini grill would allow him to create an assortment of hot sandwiches in one easy step.
  
  

A Meal and Wine

• Moving into a new place is never an easy project. The transition from one place to another is often messy, frustrating, and time consuming. With all the unpacking and organizing that takes place, it could be days before your friend can actually cook up a meal in his new kitchen. Bringing over a hot meal with all the fixings and utensils is a considerate idea. Make your contribution a thoughtful one by providing a hot meal along with paper and plastic eating utensils for a full belly and easy clean up. Also, a good bottle of wine is most often welcomed on any occasion, especially one that calls for a relaxing break.
