What's a good amount for a housewarming group gift?

It depends on the group size. Each person typically contributes £10-£30, but there's no minimum. With 10 friends contributing, you can quickly build up a gift card for something meaningful.

Can I contribute if I can't attend the housewarming party?

Absolutely. GiftLode works entirely online, so you can contribute and add your message from anywhere.

What if they're renting, not buying?

GiftLode works for any new home — whether they're buying, renting, or just moving to a new place. They choose how to spend the gift.

Can I add a funny message?

Of course! Write a message, record a video tour prediction, or generate an AI-assisted message. The funnier the better.

HOUSEWARMING GIFT

Help them make it home.

Moving house is expensive enough. Contribute together towards a gift card so they can get what they actually need — not another scented candle or bottle of wine.

Why it works for housewarming gifts

🏠

They know what they need

A sofa, kitchen gadgets, paint, or just a Deliveroo night after unpacking. They choose from 150+ brands.

🎉

Warm wishes from everyone

Each friend adds a housewarming message, video house tour prediction, or AI-assisted message about their new home.

🤝

Contribute together for something meaningful

Instead of 8 individual bottles of wine, everyone contributes towards one gift card the new homeowner actually wants.

📱

No need to attend the party

Can't make the housewarming? Contribute online and your message still gets included in the reveal.

Why GiftLode for housewarming gifts?

There's an unwritten rule that you bring a bottle of wine and a candle to a housewarming. The result? The new homeowner ends up with seven bottles of Malbec and four Jo Malone knockoffs while desperately needing a decent set of pans.

GiftLode lets you skip the guesswork. Contribute together towards a gift card from the friend group and let the new homeowner spend it on what they actually need. Maybe it's furniture, maybe it's a takeaway after a long day of unpacking, maybe it's paint for the spare room. With 150+ gift card brands, it's entirely their call.

And here's the bit that makes it special: everyone adds a personal message. So instead of just receiving money, they get a beautiful reveal with warm wishes, funny videos, and heartfelt notes from every friend who contributed. Something to enjoy while surrounded by unpacked boxes.

“My friends set up a GiftLode when I bought my first flat. The messages were hilarious and the £150 IKEA card meant I actually got a decent sofa instead of the free one from Facebook Marketplace.”
