When a family member or friend moves into a new place, it's nice to help them celebrate with a great housewarming gift! It need not be expensive, just a little something to add to their new home or to celebrate the hard work and stress that went into moving in. If you're wondering what to get, check out our list of favorites that will make you welcome in their new home!

For the first-time homeowner, it's a great idea to put together a tool kit of useful items — things such as screwdrivers, a hammer, a flashlight, a tape measure, and the like. Especially if they came from apartment living, having their own tools will be a welcome gift!

The same idea can be used for kitchen utensils as well—a new can opener; a spice rack with spices, mixing and baking tools like a spatula, whisk, and cooking trays; or some nice dish towels will all be welcome additions to a new kitchen.

Or, a safe bet is to offer a nice bottle of wine or champagne, or fresh baked goodies. These are always welcome in a new home! Most likely they'll be opened or eaten at the first housewarming party, or your friends will have your gift to savor just for themselves.

And lastly, if you can’t think of anything they really need, gift cards to stores like Crate and Barrel, Williams Sonoma, or The Home Depot will help the new homemakers furnish their new place in style.
