5 Great Housewarming Gifts for New Homeowners

Housewarming Gifts That New Homeowners Can't Live Without

If there's ever a time in our life when we're usually at our most broke, it's when we first buy a home. All of our money goes towards the down payment and other moving expenses and before you know it, we're in need of dozens of different things without the funds to buy them. Which is why housewarming gifts are so important. Forget the candles -- here are some great gift ideas that new homeowners really need.

A Home Warranty

I can't even begin to list the number of things that can go wrong with a home. For a new homeowner, that could mean serious financial hardship. Unless, of course, you give them a home warranty as a housewarming gift!

There are a number of home warranty companies on the market and while these may be expensive housewarming gifts, they're worth every penny. A good home warranty will run about $400 to $500 per year. However, you can opt for a monthly option (say 3 months or so) at about $40 a month and then the homeowner can renew the warranty if they wish.

Gift Cards

Gift cards make great housewarming gifts, but forgo the cards to electronics and department stores. New homeowners need things like garbage cans, tools and other household items. Try gift cards to store like Lowe's and Home Depot instead.

Gift Baskets

Again, a traditional gift with a twist. When giving gift baskets as housewarming gifts, fill them with goodies like household cleaners, towels, tools and other new homeowner must-haves. One of the best gift baskets I received as a housewarming gift for my first home contained linen spray, laundry detergent, fabric softener and other laundry items. I had a well-stocked laundry room thanks to that thoughtful friend.

Those who think housewarming gifts are a thing of the past need to think again. When your friend or family member buys a new home, they're going to need all the housewarming gifts they can get. Try one of the above ideas if you want to give housewarming gifts that will be appreciated and remembered for years to come.
