9 Great Gifts That New Homeowners Won't Stop Thanking You For

For a memorable gift, consider a custom painting of the new home. Artists abound on Etsy, but Susan Monroe Custom Watercolors ($126) capture the beautiful details of shadows and light.

Everyone likes a set of fluffy towels, especially in a soft neutral tone. This Madison Park Signature Sand 100% Egyptian Cotton 6 Piece Towel Set ($97) contains two each of bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths — making it just the thing if the new homeowner suddenly has guest bathroom to outfit. (And if not, well, it's always nice to have a spare set of towels to use during laundry day.)

Sculptural and elegant in form, this Lidded Maple Vessel ($58) can be used to store salt, sugar, or even jewelry. It's bound to be appreciated by anyone who's dreaming of giving their new place a minimalist vibe.

How adorable is this Creative Co-Op Square Measuring Spoons Set ($34)? Held together with a leather tie, the brass-tone spoons are engraved with charming measurements: "tad," "dash," "pinch," and "smidge." It's a clever option for a home chef who's excited to cook up a storm in a new kitchen.

Cleaning supplies aren't usually a good gift, but this wood and metal Dust Pan and Brush ($42) is an exception to the rule. Made in Germany, it's one of those well-made everyday items that most folks won't treat themselves to. (But you can treat them!)

New homeowners often love to entertain — it's a great way to create happy memories among friends and family. That's why this set of two Kaleena Trays ($125) is such a thoughtful, versatile gift. The lucky recipients can use the trays to serve food at brunches and dinners, or they can use them as décor in the living room. If you're looking for a housewarming gift that's useful and attractive, consider the search done.

For a small but special gift, go for this Cy Tea Light Candleholder ($38) — it's handmade and looks far more expensive than it is.

Made by hand, this stacking Hayden Wilson Bedside Carafe and Glass ($105) is such a chic home accessory. A new homeowner is probably *never* going to buy this for herself, but she'll feel very fancy indeed with it sitting on her nightstand.

Too often, the entryway "drop zone" is an afterthought that winds up looking sloppy. Set the new homeowners up for success with this Cuyana Leather Organizer Tray ($58). The pebbled leather tray is a chic place to toss keys and mail, and the neutral colors will complement just about any style of home.
