These Rainbow Wine Glasses Are My Go-To Housewarming Gift (& They're Under $50)

I’m at the stage in my life where my friends are moving into their own spaces, whether it’s cohabitating with a significant other for the first time or purchasing a home. And that means plenty of housewarming parties to fill up my itinerary. While every invite I receive is sure to bring fun and festivities, it also brings the need for unique housewarming gift ideas. I can’t go to these parties empty-handed, after all!

Not only does the present need to be something that my friends will actually use, but one that won’t break the bank, either. Picture going to a housewarming party every two weeks — that adds up! Fortunately, my constant scramble for unique housewarming gift ideas is now over: This under-$50 find is officially my go-to.

This set of stemless rainbow wine glasses from Something Navy is getting me through a calendar full of bashes. As someone with a tight budget, I’m always on the hunt for a steal and these fit the bill, as the set includes four glasses for just $48.

But aside from the price, these glasses are also incredibly pretty and feel so special: Each of the four glasses comes in a different wash of color, and the gold rim gives them an elegant flare that looks custom made. They’re so much more unique than your average set of wine glasses.

Many times at housewarming parties, my friends will open these on the spot and pour some wine in them to enjoy. They don’t even have to be used for wine specifically. Personally, I use my own set for Shirley Temples, lemonade, and other non-alcoholic beverages since I don’t drink. Their stemless design makes them endlessly versatile — truly a top-tier housewarming gift.

If the set isn’t a perfect fit for your new homeowner friends though, there’s plenty more where that came from. Scroll below for more budget-friendly and unique housewarming gift ideas to shop now.

Salt & Pepper Shakers

Salt and pepper shakers might not be on the top of the new homeowner’s shopping list, but they’ll be glad they have them when it’s time to sit down for their first home-cooked meal.
