Someone important in your life just moved into a new home, and it’s time to celebrate! As excited as you are for them, and as much as you're probably looking forward to their housewarming party, it can be difficult, and potentially a bit frustrating, to try and think of the perfect housewarming gift for your friend.

If you want to give them a present that they will actually use and appreciate, here are some ideas to make shopping a bit easier.

A Vacuum

In all the hustle and bustle of thinking of more “ major” items for the house, it's pretty easy to forget a vacuum to clean the place up. Vacuums also tend to be a bit expensive and not something that a new homeowner wants to spend money on right away— so why not give them one as a gift? You'll feel a little proud when you walk into their home and see beautifully clean carpets, knowing that your present made that possible.

Smart Home System

Smart home systems, like Alexa or Google Home, allow your friends and family to hook up everything from their music and lights to their appliances and door locks to one automated system. Talk about the gift of convenience!

Pots and Pans

High-quality pots and pans are a somewhat underrated gift. Especially since your loved one will be using them every day, give your friend the gift of nice cookware that they can keep for years to come. You can choose to get them a classic stainless steel set, cast iron pieces, or, for those who aren't necessarily the best cooks, a nice non-stick set.

Dish Towels

These may seem like a blasé housewarming gift, but in a world that’s trying to use less disposable paper products, having good quality dish towels goes a long way. You can choose to give them towels with cute designs or go the extra step of having them personalized.

Gift Cards

If there's one gift that everyone will appreciate when they first move into a new home, it's gift cards. Whether they’re for a local home improvement store or nearby restaurant, gift cards are the perfect present to provide a little financial relief to a new homeowner.
