The twenty-somethings are a decade when many people embark into the real world, discover new things about themselves, and reach life milestones. A few of my friends are landing first jobs, planning weddings, and now… buying houses! This month my friend Jen bought a house with her soon-to-be husband and had a housewarming party this weekend. It’s so much fun to see friends evolving and it’s really nice to be apart of such a celebratory moment. Naturally I wanted to get them a little something to help them settle in.
My go-to is a pair of wine glasses and a bottle of wine. That’s a pretty neutral gift! But I wanted to do something different. I had recently been raving to her about Pier 1’s statement pillows, so that’s how I got the idea to get some decorative pillows. I considered it might have been something they hadn’t thought of since they were probably concerned about getting the basics, like a couch and kitchen table. 
The decor was too beautiful to wrap so I stacked the two pillows and picture frame- and tied it all together with turquoise and sheer gold ribbon!
Love it? Get it for your next housewarming party!
