Top 5 Luxury House Warming Gifts
What to get the couple that has everything?
We’ve had a light bulb moment here at GroupTogether after watching the leadership challenge in Canberra. Malcolm and Lucy Turnbull are moving to Kirribilli House and the big question on everyone’s mind is, what’s the right house warming gift?
When you pop round to say hello (and let’s face it, have a bit of a sticky beak) we want to make sure you have the perfect group gift in hand.
So we’ve put our heads together and created the Top 5 Luxury Housewarming Gifts of 2015. Be warned, it’s not for the faint hearted. You’ll need to get all your friends together to chip in for these little lovelies.
-1- Tom Dixon Elements Candles
We’ve started off small, but that doesn’t mean these candles won’t cause your friends to swoon with delight. Mouth blown glass, soy and paraffin wax and 20 hours of sheer pleasure as the scents gently waft through the room, make these the perfect group gift.
The set is available at Tom Dixon for $300 and is made up of 4 candles each representing a different element. Water is a combination of watermelon, cedar and musk; Air is a floral scent with orange and white musk; Earth is a blend of mint and cedar wood; and Fire is a smokey mix of musk & wood.
-2- Cashmere Throws
What home is complete without a luxurious cashmere throw? Soft, warm and snuggle-iscious. There will be no cold wind stabbing your back if you’re cozied up together under one of these – the perfect place to plot your next move.
Online, overseas or at the shops, choose your favourite colour, weight and stitch, a perfect house warming gift from the gang. Get the lovely chocolate brown from Hub Furniture.
-3- A vertical herb garden in your kitchen.
Wouldn’t you just love to have one of these in your kitchen? Fresh, organic herbs and leafy greens at your fingertips as you (or your personal chef) prepares meals. As a bonus, all those wonderful aromatic herbs (rosemary, sage, oregano and thyme) will have your kitchen smelling divine.
-4- One of a Kind – Antiques
For the gift that no one else will give, an antique is perfect. From A to T (ahem…Abbott to Turnbull) you can choose from homewares, lighting, furniture, art or sculptures.
If your local antique shops don’t have the variety you are looking for, try Elements I Love online for a full range of antiques and objets d’art.
-5- The Perfect (and I do mean perfect) Picnic Hamper
Consider your house warming gift sorted (unless there is another spill motion and we need to think up some new gifts as it wouldn’t do to give the same gift again!)

On Friday mornings, I look forward to a home delivery and I am never disappointed. A smiling young baker-apprentice brings me the most beautiful, yummy, freshly-baked loaves of bread, that never fail to put a smile on
