Gift Ideas for New Homeowners
If someone close to you has recently purchased their first home, this is a great time to give them a gift to help with the process of moving. When buying their first home, many people don’t have much spare money to get the furniture and decorations they need to fill their home. Friends and family can help with this by buying gifts that can help the new homeowners. In this article, we take a look at several different gift ideas for new homeowners.
Kitchen equipment
Things like toasters, kettles and microwaves are essential for modern kitchens. These small items are ideal for gifting; you can choose a matching set or ask the new homeowner which designs or colours they’d prefer. When buying essential kitchen equipment, try to opt for quality items that will last a long time. Buying quality will save money in the long run and ensure the homeowners don’t end up with something they need to replace after a few months. Many new homeowners will greatly appreciate these things.
Artwork for the walls
Artwork can really bring a home to life; you can buy many different types of artwork ranging in price from under £10 to millions of pounds. Choose an image or style that represents the homeowners you’re buying for; this way, they’re more likely to display the item on their walls. Buying a beautiful piece of artwork can also help new homeowners decide on how to decorate their rooms; the artwork can be the starting point that helps them decide on the colour of the room and the rest of the decoration.
Food box subscription
Moving home and unpacking takes a lot of work and is a difficult task for anyone; once moved in, the last thing new homeowners want to do is do a full supermarket shop and start preparing meals for the upcoming days. A meal subscription box is a great gift for new homeowners; they will have everything they need to make easy, quick and filling meals without needing to go shopping. You can purchase one-off boxes or buy a subscription for a few packages to be delivered over several weeks.
Bedroom furniture
The main rooms new homeowners need to prioritise are the bedroom, kitchen and lounge. Once these rooms are furnished, the rest can follow. Buying new homeowners' bedroom furniture is a great way to help them in their new journey. Painted bedside tables are an ideal gift if the homeowners already have a bed and mattress. If you want to be more generous, you could purchase them a new bed and mattress for their bedroom. Having somewhere comfortable to sleep at the end of the day can make moving much more pleasurable.
Indoor plants and flowers
If you’re looking for an inexpensive gift to give new homeowners, you could choose an indoor plant or flowers. They can use these to decorate their home and add some colour to their rooms. Flowers and plants are a great gift for almost any occasion, and having plants in the home can have many benefits. They can improve your mood, reduce stress levels and even increase productivity, everything a new homeowner needs when moving. Try to choose a plant that’s easy to look after and won’t die quickly, as new homeowners will have lots of things to take care of when they’ve just moved.
Champagne
All celebrations are made even better with a glass of Champagne. Buying a bottle of Champagne is a great gift for new homeowners. At the end of a hard day’s moving, they can crack open the Champagne and enjoy living in their new home. You can also celebrate with them and take pictures to remember the special day.
There are many great moving home gifts you can buy new homeowners as a way to congratulate them and help them settle in their new homes. When choosing a gift, think about your budget and don't push your finances too far if you don’t have the spare income. Flowers, plants and candles make the ideal small gifts for new homeowners. Larger gifts could include things like furniture, artwork and kitchen appliances. To avoid getting the wrong gift ask the homeowners what they would like as a housewarming gift or run your idea past them in advance.
