Gift ideas for a house blessing, and a list to share

In the Philippines, a new home is usually celebrated with a house blessing: a priest, food, and family and friends who bring something for the house. Common gifts are kitchen items, appliances, plants and decor.

If it’s your house blessing, create a housewarming gift list with your names and the date. Add what your home still needs, with shop links and quantities, and share it with your invitation. Guests reserve a gift, and you can see who to thank.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. Making and sharing a registry is free, with no app to install and no limit on items or guests.

What do you bring to a house blessing in the Philippines?

Kitchen items, small appliances, plants, home decor or food are traditional. Some families also give rice and salt for good luck. A gift list shows what the home still needs.

How do guests avoid buying the same gift?

Each item has an “I’ll get this” button. Once a guest taps it, others see it’s taken. For things you need several of, like plates or diapers, guests reserve one or more pieces and everyone sees how many are left.

Can guests give cash instead?

Yes. Upload your own GCash, Maya or bank QR and add a short note. Guests scan it in their own app and the money goes straight to you; Manito Manita never handles it.
