Purchasing a new home is an exciting milestone that is often marked with a housewarming gift. Help friends or family members celebrate the purchase of a new home by choosing a gift that will be useful and memorable, and will add a special decorative touch to their new home.

Name Plaque
-
A name plaque is an attractive wall decoration to a foyer or entryway. Present a wall plaque to the new homeowners with their last name. There are many different styles and materials that can be used to create a name plaque that will fit the tastes and decor of the new homeowners.
Plant
-
Often new homeowners have not decided on a decorating theme or style, which can make purchasing items for their home a challenge. Choose a large green or flowering potted plant that will add instant warmth and decor to a new home, regardless of the style of decor. Select a plant that will be suitable for growing indoors, and that they can maintain with minimal care.
Gift Basket
-
A basket filled with different gift items for new homeowners can be useful and appreciated.
Fill the basket with gourmet food items that will enable them to nibble on tasty snacks when they are busy unpacking boxes.
Present first-time homeowners with a basket filled with assorted tools and other small items they might need. Nails, hooks, wall screws and other useful odds and ends would be helpful and appreciated.
Fill a basket with scented candles, potpourri, votives, and other candle-related equipment to help new homeowners add warmth and decor to what may be a stark new home.
Welcome Mat
-
Purchase a personalized welcome mat for the new homeowners to place at their front door. There are many different styles of welcome mats to fit different tastes and decor. Select a tasteful mat that will appeal to the homeowners. It should display a welcome message, along with the first names of the homeowner(s) or the family's last name.
Homeowner's Organizer
-
Present the new homeowners with a useful binder or organizing system that will help them keep track of the many details associated with owning and maintaining a home. An organizing system will help homeowners store important insurance documents, policies, photographs, lists and schedules in one centralized place for quick and easy access. Some systems even have electronic capabilities for storing information digitally. Visit uncommongoods.com (see Resources) for one organizer idea.

Best ever new home gift we'll never forget was a hot water circulator appliance. It installed easily and was small enough to put under our master baths sink. It solved our homes problem of having to wait for hot water to arrive at our sinks and showers. We initially waited about two minutes for hot water in the morning. Now it's there instantly when we want it just by using the timer or push-button. We love it so much that if we ever move, it's coming with us. Our redytemp undersink hot water circulator is definately the best new home gift ever.
