Happy holidays! In the spirit of the giving season, we wanted to help out all the holiday shoppers out there with gift ideas for anyone in your life who has recently purchased a new home or moved into a new apartment.
Our list includes both gifts that are tailored for the holidays and ones that will work as a gift any time of the year. Many of them are also suitable for anyone moving into a new apartment or condo as well.
There’s no shortage of gifts that will make anyone settling into a new home feel special, so let’s dive in.
Gifts for new buyers (and renters) that fit any occasion
These gifts are suitable for the holidays or any time of year.
Customized Welcome Mat: A Personalized Greeting
A customized gift always adds an extra personal touch, and one item that is easy to customize is welcome mats. Add their family name or a warm greeting that will make them feel truly at home.
For an even more charm, gift a custom photo frame that they can place a treasured family photo in.
Quality Cookware Set: Upgrade the Kitchen
Any of us that do a lot of cooking know how big a difference quality cookware can make. Opt for durable materials and a versatile selection to cover various cooking needs. You can also gift high-quality tupperware and food storage sets — a real game changer for meal prep.
Subscription to a Meal Kit Service: Stress-Free Dining
For the less culinarily inclined folks in your life, having a meal kit service can be a lifesaver while moving and settling. Moving can be hectic, and new homeowners may not have the time or energy to plan elaborate meals. A subscription to a meal kit service can provide them with pre-portioned ingredients and easy-to-follow recipes, making dinnertime a breeze.
Indoor plants: Greenery for a Vibrant Home
A new plant can help bring life into their new space. Plants aren’t always something that movers bring along or prioritize purchasing at first, so gifting one can add something new. Look to buy low-maintenance plants like succulents or snake plants for minimal hassle.
Tool Set: Home Repairs Made Easy
This one can be especially good for younger or first-time buyers or renters who may not know better. Every owner, and even renter, needs a good set of tools. Gift them a comprehensive tool set with essential items like a hammer, screwdrivers, pliers, and a tape measure. It's a practical gift that will remind them of you when they need it for minor repairs or DIY projects.
Fire Extinguisher and First Aid Kit: There When You Need It
Help them be prepared for an emergency by gifting a fire extinguisher or basic first aid kit. It’s a less flashy and more practical gift, but they will definitely be thanking you when they need it.
Custom Illustration: Art with a Personal Charm
Commissioning an artist to create a bespoke painting or illustration of the new home is a very thoughtful gesture and will give them a keepsake to treasure for years to come.

Holiday Recipe Book: Culinary Inspiration for the Season
Give them a reason to be excited about using their new kitchen and hosting for the holidays with a festive recipe book. It's a thoughtful gift that combines practicality with the joy of creating delicious holiday meals.
Holiday-Scented Candles: Aromas of the Season
Make them feel more at home for the holidays with a holiday-scented candle that’ll add a warm and inviting ambiance to their living space.
