Preppy Chic: What to Give the Girl Who Just Bought Her First Home

Ladies—Other than the time you got your first Barbie Dreamhouse, what could possibly be more exciting? Purchasing your first real home, of course! This milestone is cause for celebration, and finding the perfect housewarming gift for the woman who just bought her first grownup house can be a fun way to match her sophisticated and preppy taste.

Think about gifting her decor that adds a pop of color, practical household items with flair, or soft pajamas with her monogram. Check out this list of thoughtful and tasteful gifts to help her settle into her new space in style.

Oxford Shirts with Stripes

For those with classic taste, a crisp white Oxford shirt is quintessential, whether she’s reading in her library or hosting a party. When a plain white button-down just won’t do, think about adding her monogram in a cool, retro font and bright embroidery thread. Another timeless style element is bold stripes in either bubble gum pink or business blue. A relaxed-fitting Oxford with a structured collar and pocket creates effortlessly chic looks year-round.

Elevated Barware for Cocktail Hour


A set of vegan leather coasters is definitely a step up from cocktail napkins. Look for a set in a playful print, something she enjoys, whether it’s a golf print, a toile of the Hamptons, or a Tuscan Villa. You could also get a matching ice bucket with a tight-fitting lid and gold knob. Elegant contributions to her home bar will take cocktail hour and hosting duties to the next level. You may even be able to have these pieces monogrammed for an extra special touch.

Matching Pajama Set with her Monogram

Everyone wants to feel luxurious and relaxed in their own home, whether sleeping, lounging, working, or cooking. Take a look at PJ shorts sets cut in a classic silhouette, complete with piping on the top and bottom. She’ll love waking up to a cozy set as she drinks her coffee and nibbles on a croissant. Is she a southern city girl? Choose a toile print in cities such as Austin, Dallas, Charleston, or Nashville. Chic, playful pajama sets are perfect for any gal.

Traditional or Peel-and-Stick Luxe Wallpaper

For the girl with a good eye for patterns, give the gift of removable wallpaper in a pretty print. Peel and stick is especially appealing because it can be removed easily and on a whim. Look for fun patterns such as city toiles, cheetahs, gingham, contrast stripes, coastal themes, or anything you know she’ll adore. High-quality wallpaper brings personality to a powder room, accent wall, entryway, laundry room, or anywhere that captures the imagination.

Coffee Table Books

A well-curated coffee table should involve the perfect blend of decor and books. You could pick up books or magazines that suit her interests in fashion, interior design, world travel, and whatever else will look great on display and provide endless inspiration for her new space.
