Your college graduate just moved into her first apartment. Your best friend bought a home. You want to welcome your new neighbor. No matter the situation, you need to buy a housewarming gift. Don’t stress – and don’t give them something they won’t use. We’ve pulled together practical ideas anyone will love. With these presents, you can help them:

Clean

Cleaning supplies might not immediately occur to you as a housewarming gift, but they could be exactly what the new homeowner needs. Maybe they’re starting from scratch or their new home has spaces their old one didn’t – like a garage or an attic.

An all-purpose broom sweeps up almost anything on any surface.

Consider putting together a basket or caddy of cleaning products for the recent graduate. Add a broom or floor duster to create a handy kit.

Did they move from an apartment into a house? Help them sweep their new walkway or shed floor with a wet and dry push broom.

A cleaning-related gift will contribute to their ability to keep their home healthy and presentable on a daily basis.

Organize

Every homeowner could benefit from improved organization, whether they’re downsizing, moving into their first house or even upgrading to a larger home.

When deciding what gift to give your loved one, think about what room might require the most storage assistance. If they love to cook, maybe choose an organizer for the kitchen. Do they have more clothes than closet space? Help them make the most of it with a closet accessory or two, like a hanging basket or a shoe organizer.

A laundry basket like this one is attractive enough to keep on display.

Not sure where they’ll need additional storage? Go with a cube organizer that can be used almost anywhere in the house – from the living room to the bathroom.

Garden

Some say a house is not a home unless there are plants. Luckily, every type of residence can have a garden, even high-rise apartments.

If your gift recipient’s new house has a yard, lawn tools could make the perfect present. Stock their shed or garage with spades, rakes or a hose sprayer to help cultivate a flower bed or a grassy lawn.

A three-in-one lawn tool lets them rake, scoop and flip.

If they’re moving into an apartment, they can still have plants. A container garden will liven up any space – from the living room to the balcony. Planters and baskets look decorative while also being functional, so you could say they’re two gifts in one.

A plant or two in a planter makes a lovely gift that doesn’t even need a bow.

Either way, your gardening-related gift will beautify their lives and their homes for years to come.

Welcome your loved one to their new home with one of these presents and help them settle in more quickly and more easily. They’ll thank you for it!
