Frequently Asked Questions
What's a good housewarming gift that makes a new place feel like home — is the Thoughtful House Warming Gift & Newhome Present a good choice?
Yes, it's a lovely way to make a new place feel like home. It fills a new home with a soft lavender scent: a lavender reed diffuser, a coconut wax candle, a room spray, a 10ml bottle of pure lavender essential oil, a lavender sachet and a lavender, sage and rose smudge stick. A lavender greeting card is included for your message, and it's one of our bestsellers for new homeowners.
What makes the Thoughtful House Warming Gift & Newhome Present different from other lavender gift sets?
Every lavender item in this housewarming set is grown on our family farm in Newstead, Waikato. The reed diffuser needs no heat or power, and every plant in the smudge stick, from white sage to Japanese cedar, is grown on the farm and tied by hand.
What occasions suit this lavender housewarming gift set?
It's made for housewarmings and moving day, and it also suits a first home, a new flat, a new office or business, a wedding, or a thank-you to a host.
Does this housewarming gift arrive ready to give?
Yes — it arrives gift-boxed with a Lavender Greeting Card inside. Write your message in the Gift message or special instructions box in your cart and we'll handwrite it on the card. To send it straight to the recipient, enter their address as the shipping address. Receipts are emailed to you, so no price or invoice goes in the parcel.
How do I use the home fragrance in this lavender housewarming gift set?
Place the reed diffuser in a hallway or bathroom and flip the reeds every few days to refresh the scent. Light the candle in the living room, spritz the room spray when guests arrive, and use the essential oil in a diffuser. Never leave a candle or smudge stick burning unattended.
Does this lavender housewarming gift set contain nuts, coconut, beeswax or milk?
The candle is made with coconut wax. None of the other items contain coconut, and none of the items contain beeswax or milk. Keep the essential oil and reed diffuser away from children and pets. Full ingredient lists are on each product's own page.
Where does the lavender in this housewarming gift come from?
The essential oil, reed diffuser, candle and room spray are made with Super Lavandin (Lavandula × intermedia 'Super') essential oil grown and steam-distilled on our family farm in Newstead, Waikato, and the sachet holds lavender from the same fields. The smudge stick is handcrafted from lavender, white sage, rose, rosemary, eucalyptus and Japanese cedar, all grown on our farm.
