Great Gift Ideas for New HomeownersTool Kits

With a new home also comes home maintenance. A simple took kit is a great git and can help the new homeowners with simple maintenance tasks. The tool kit could be equipped with things like a hammer, screw drivers, tape measure, level, wrench, pliers, a drill and even a small kit of different hanging essentials and anchors to make hanging artwork and photos easy.  

Welcome Mat

No one wants to track dirt into their new home while moving in. While you may wish for a shoe free home, taking shoes off or putting on new shoe covers while unloading furniture and boxes is low and can unfortunately bring dirt into your new home before you’ve fully moved in. Gifting a welcome mat is a great way to help limit debris, dirt or dust that is tracked in while moving, just be sure it’s given to the homeowner asap so it can be used while unloading.
