Great Gift Ideas for New Homeowners
Owning a first home is a huge deal. Most new homeowners will remember the experience of going from renter to owner and finally getting all the boxes in the door for the rest of their lives.
For new homeowners, especially, giving them a gift that will help make the experience that much better is a great way to help them settle into their brand-new-to-them property. But what gifts are best when gifting new homeowners something they’ll love and use? We’ve got you covered.
Home Décor
Home décor is often the go-to gift because it’s easy to find a plethora of options both in-store and online. There are many options, too, such as wall décor with cutesy sayings, such as our first home or throw blankets that will help them cozy up and unwind after a long day of unpacking. Candles, door knockers, vases, or doormats are also great décor gifts they’ll love.
When it comes to giving these types of gifts, though, it’s essential that you know their style, so home décor should be left for those who are close enough to the new homeowners to purchase something that blends with their current furniture and décor design and speaks to their personalities.
Small Appliances
Small appliances are great gifts for just about any new homeowner because they're practical, and they’ll also come in handy when they can’t seem to find their coffee maker or microwave in a sea of boxes they have yet to go through.
The good news is that you don’t have to know the homeowners that intimately to get them a great gift when you focus on small appliances. Some great options include air fryers, coffee or espresso machines, vacuums, a hand mixer, or a microwave.
Custom Gifts
Custom gifts will make a splash for new homeowners because they’re personal and speak to their sentimental side. There are so many possible options for custom gifts, too, that it would be hard not to find one that fits.
You can also combine a practical gift with a personalized one, such as a unique knife block adorned with their names or a custom leash hook if they’re a pet family.
Other options include commissioned custom art pieces, a self-inking return address stamp, or a holiday-themed new home ornament engraved with their names and the move-in date.
Kitchenware
People spend a lot of time in the kitchen, and new homeowners probably can’t wait to get in there and make it theirs. If you want to wow them with a housewarming gift, you can offer some unique kitchenware pieces bound to impress.
Charcuterie boards or cutting boards, new dishes, glassware, or mugs are all great choices because they’re universal enough to be used by everyone and practical enough to be used often.
Outdoor Gifts
If you know the new homeowners love spending time outdoors, you could ensure they have everything they need to start their garden and lawn care once the warm weather rolls around. Gardening tools, a new lawnmower, and a ladder are all excellent presents that offer practicality and prevent them from purchasing one themselves.
