„"A homecoming of happiness alone" - this old sense of expression already expresses that one's own home is more than just the place where one sleeps. From this idea, the desire is also born to congratulate the good friends or family members for the entry into the new (own) home.

Frequently it should go beyond the simple congratulations to the home and the search for a gift begins. This is the place to look for gifts for moving in, topping out and home!

Bread and salt - the classic!

While in other countries bread and salt are presented as a gift for marriage or as a guest gift when visiting relatives, it is considered the classic in Germany when entering a new (own) home. Since this gift has its own history and symbolism, we have dedicated to relocation gurus in its own counseling page LINK

Invited to the Festival - what to give?

While this event is not known in other countries, the topping-out ceremony in Europe has been celebrated since the 14th century. When it was formerly a feast for the completion of individual trades where the respective craftsmen were adopted, it is today the celebration of the completion of the roof truss. The builder is celebrating this stage of a new building, and the invitation is also followed by the question of which gift is still appropriate for congratulations on home ownership. Unfortunately there is no typical gift for this. Customary gifts such as mailboxes, personalized footboards, garden furniture, lucky bicycles or corresponding vouchers are customary. Here you should above all try to agree with other guests to give nothing double; A double mailbox is truly a good gift for home ownership.
