Moving house is an exciting time. It’s a chance to make memories and start fresh. Naturally, you’ll want to celebrate with your nearest and dearest. But, what gift should you give to a loved one who is moving?

Here, we’ve put together some great choices for you!

1. Roses

One of the most iconic flowers are roses, available in a range of colours. Each rose colour can symbolise something different. These meanings can vary from romantic love to friendship and joy. Depending on what your relationship is with the mover, you dictate what colour you want to give. Alternatively, they’re beautiful flowers so no matter which you go for, they will make an excellent choice.

2. Sunflowers

Sunflowers instantly brighten any room and, by extension, any home. Renowned for its bright yellow flowers and long stems, a sunflower is often associated with loyalty and longevity. Perfect, for those starting in a new home.

These flowers are perfect for those looking for charming aesthetics.

3. Lilies

Known for their long petals and beautiful smell, these elegant flowers are a symbol of purity and refined beauty. Lilies are great for adding sophistication to any space.

They also come in different variations:

Asiatic Lilies – Perfect for those wanting to add a pop of colour and have a sensitive sense of smell as they lack fragrance.

Oriental Lilies – For those who want to create a luxurious atmosphere, this variation gives off a beautiful fragrance.

Another iconic flower; orchids are instantly recognisable. Symbolising elegance and strength, these blooms are known for their long-lasting life. This is what makes them a perfect choice for new homeowners.
