10 Best Housewarming Gifts

**1. House Plant** Take your flower bouquet game up a notch with a nice potted plant for them to place in their living room space. Plants are a great way to add life, beauty and color into a room. Plus, they can be beneficial to your health. In fact, recent studies have found that indoor plants help remove air toxins as well as improve concentration, productivity and help boost your mood. Especially if your friend is feeling a little stress out when it comes to home ownership, this is the perfect gift to help them relax.

**2. Stylish Doormat** A doormat is a perfect example of something that can match your friend’s personality and style. Get one for their front door or a mat they can place in their entryway. This can also help keep their brand new floors clean from outside elements that get tracked in.

**3. Portable Vacuum** While on the subject of eliminating dirt in a household, a small, portable vacuum can help new homeowners keep all areas of their homes clean — including hard to reach areas — from outside dirt and dust. All without having to haul their big vacuum from room to room. Or, if you really want to go high tech, get them a robot vacuum and they’ll really enjoy not having to put in the work.

**4. Cookbook** Now that your homeowner friends have a brand new kitchen, they’ll need some recipes to try out! Look for cookbooks that offer a variety of meals and desserts that are up to your friend’s cooking level and can keep them occupied. If you’re tight on budget, compile your own favorite recipes from family cookbooks and create a little booklet to give them. This is the perfect gift for your food obsessed friends.

**5. Tools & Toolbox** Make sure your new homeowner friends are really prepared for when the home ownership “life” hits. You know, when a pipe leaks or an door hinge breaks off. Chances are they might only have a few basic tools, which won’t help them fix a broken appliance or other home issues. Help them complete the set and get them a nice box for them to organize and store their tools in.

**6. Home Security Device** Give new homeowners the peace of mind that comes with a home security device. From motion sensors to a key fob, you have variety of devices to choose from that will best fit your friend's needs. Plus, now that we live in a world full of automation, you can find home security devices that can be controlled all on an app on your smart device.

From cornhole and croquet to spikeball and badminton, there are a lot of to choose from for the new homeowners to enjoy. Additionally, this will give your friends an excuse to host a housewarming party. Win-win!
