Gift Cards
-
Gift cards to stores like Home Depot or Lowe's make for great housewarming gifts. Purchasing a gift card for a new homeowner takes the guess work out of gift giving. The gift card allows the homeowner to purchase items that suit there needs and taste. On the flip side, you'll be able to control the amount of money you spend by giving a gift card. For example, if you only want to spend $25, give a $25 gift card. Buying a gift card is the quickest way to give a useful housewarming gift.
Artwork
-
Giving artwork to new homeowners is a good way to assist them with decorating the interior of their home. You may opt to give a print instead of original art, since they're usually much cheaper. Buying a frame is a nice touch as well. The art you select should be something that you know will be enjoyed and appreciated by the homeowner. For that reason, artwork as a gift for a homeowner is only a good idea if you have a personal relationship with the person or couple. If you want a safer approach to purchasing artwork for an acquaintance, consider mainstream art pieces that can be purchased at stores like Target or Wal-Mart. Peel and stick wall decals are another great gift option to help new homeowners add a little flair to their interior decor.

Personalized Gifts
-
Personalized gift giving shows that you put thought, time and effort into selecting just the right housewarming gift. Give a personalized house plaque with the new homeowner's last name on it. If the new homeowner indulges in an occasional drink, a personalized bar sign may make for a great gift. Customization works with a number of gift items, from themed welcome mats to drinking glasses.
Books
-
Consider giving the gift of knowledge to a new homeowner. More specifically, purchase books that provide new homeowners with decorating ideas, or ways to make repairs. For example, a simple homeowner's manual may provide a new homeowner with ideas and tips about how to properly maintain their property.
