Housewarming Gift Ideas For New Homeowners
9 Great Gifts That New Homeowners Won't Stop Thanking You For
If your holiday shopping list includes new homeowners, consider yourself lucky. New homeowners, especially first-time buyers, have a space they need to decorate and fill — and they'll truly appreciate any help doing so. That's where you come in! You can spoil them with useful items (hello, plush towels) or surprising little splurges to perk up a room.
That's why we've gathered nine can't-fail gifts for your friends who just picked up the keys. Add them to cart, wrap them up, and prepare to see some very happy homeowners. Read ahead to see our favorites.
Susan Monroe Custom Watercolors
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.
Madison Park Signature Sand 100% Egyptian Cotton 6 Piece Towel Set
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.)
Lidded Maple Vessel
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.
Creative Co-Op Square Measuring Spoons Set
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.
Dust Pan and Brush
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!)
Kaleena Trays
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.
Cy Tea Light Candleholder
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.
Hayden Wilson Bedside Carafe Set
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.
Cuyana Leather Organizer Tray
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.
