Here are some great ideas for good Jewish housewarming presents to give to couples, single guys, single women, college students, and anybody moving into a new home. Find the traditional Jewish bread, salt, sugar and wine gifts, and also non-traditional Jewish housewarming presents.

The giving of Jewish housewarming gifts has a long history. The "bread and salt" housewarming gift harkens back to the Russian folk custom of giving of salt and bread to welcome a couple to their new home and signify that they would never be in want of food or that their life together would ever lack flavor. This tradition appears to have grown out of the upper class's traditional giving of bread topped with salt to visiting Russian royalty to show hospitality.

Sugar is also often given as a housewarming gift, some say to represent hope for a sweet life. And wine is also sometimes given to Jewish people moving into new homes, perhaps in symbolism of never going thirsty.

These days, in Jewish households a wide variety of both traditional and non-traditional housewarming gifts are given not only to couples, but also to single men and women moving into new houses or apartments, to college students moving into dorm room accommodations, and on the occasion of other new living arrangements. In all cases, the idea is to send good wishes and hopes for a prosperous and happy future in which the new resident never goes wanting.

Books make a fabulous Jewish housewarming gift. Each of these wonderful books to welcome a Jewish man, woman or couple into their new home has lasting appeal, with humor, advice and information about Jewish traditions.

Kosher gift baskets and gourmet goodies are an excellent Jewish housewarming gift idea for any single man, woman, or couple. Presents of food provide not just good taste, but nourishment and energy during what can be a hectic time - the move-in and adjustment period.

Give bread, sweets, or a meal for a warm housewarming. From cheesecake to chocolate brownies to rugelach and cinnamon buns, to low-carb nuts and healthy dried fruits, delicious and nourishing food is a traditional Jewish housewarming gift that will always be welcome in their new home.

A Jewish home is more than four walls - it's beautiful objects, traditional artifacts and festive music that create memories for the people in it.

When they first move in, a new home may not feel like home to your son, daughter, friend, coworker, grandson, granddaughter, or other family member or acquaintance. Help give it an established, lived-in feel by bringing in beauty and song to their home - right at the start.

Consider giving housewarming gifts of Jewish songs and music, hand-made Shabbat candlesticks the recipients will treasure, or a traditional mezuzah to place on the doorpost of the house, condo or apartment.
