The Settling-In Collection

A new house becomes a home one small detail at a time: a welcoming doormat, a spot for the keys, a candle on the bench and something green in the corner.

The Settling-In Collection is our edit of housewarming gifts for those first weeks in a new place. From doormats and door stops to key hiders, wall clocks, faux greenery, kitchen canisters, frames and garden tools, every piece is practical, easy to place and styled to suit relaxed coastal and Hamptons homes.

Who it's for

• Friends and family moving into their first home, a new rental or a sea change
• Couples who have just renovated or downsized
• Anyone setting up an entry, kitchen or garden from scratch

Gift pairing ideas

Start at the front door: pair a hydrangea doormat with a bouclé dog door stop for an entry they'll use every day, then see Hamptons Entry Styling for more ideas. Add easy-care greenery from Stems & Small Greenery, a frame for their first photo in the new place from Picture Frames, or practical baskets from Storage Solutions.
