Housewarming Holiday Gifts – The Best Modern Gifts for New Homeowners

Invoke your wanderlust with these beautiful custom wooden maps. High quality selected pieces that are crafted by hand by designer Hubert Roguski. Stunning visual art that lets you walk back through your favorite streets, or the places you dream of discovering. CityWood maps are reflecting the artist’s love for minimalism and elegance in design.

If you know someone that’s moved into a new home, chances are they have at least one new piece of furniture to go with it. Help them protect that new investment with this set of Bierfilzl Round Felt Coasters in Paradise from Graf Lantz. The 4-pack of circular coasters are made of naturally water-resistant merino wool felt that will last as long as they’re in the new house and far beyond.

Designed for gathering in mind, the Heath Maple Wood Board can be used for display or chopping as it’s made from American Maple hardwood. The simple yet elegant design will elevate any new homeowner’s first gathering and beyond with an array of cheeses or other finger foods.

A garden is often one of the many things a new homeowner wants to tackle when they move in, except that they’re usually a million other jobs that take priority over it. Gift this Self-Watering Herb Organizer to that person wanting to utilize their green thumb (or any chef!) but just hasn’t had the time to yet. The self-watering feature makes it perfect for those that are running short on time.

Help new homeowners do away with those branded salt and pepper shakers straight from the grocery store with a set of minimalist Salt & Pepper shakers. Made from bone china, this whimsical set features sculptural silhouettes that playfully nest together.

Nothing says “Welcome to my new house” like a cool floor mat. The Diamonds black & white design is a Design Milk exclusive that marks our 15th Anniversary. We love the bold graphic design and think most people will, whether at their front door or the larger size as a rug.

The first thing a new homeowner receives is a set of keys and what better gift than a stylish keyring to keep them on? This Closed Helix Keyring makes a statement with its helix-shaped brass design finished off with turned end-caps.

A set of good knives is the ultimate gift for a new homeowner who’s probably rolling with a few mismatched knives that are so dull they bend food instead of cutting it. The 7 Piece Minimalist Set includes every knife a cooking lover will need, plus a honing rod and cylinder glass block to store them in.

If you know anyone like me where every bug and mosquito like to attack them first, this Bug Shield Blanket is for them! This lightweight outdoor throw is enhanced with safe, long-lasting bug repellent Insect Shield® technology, something you’d never know by looking at its striped plaid pattern.

A useful addition to anyone’s home that’s often not thought about: a magazine holder. Instead of letting favorite issues stack up on coffee or end tables, gift that new homeowner the sleek Aspen Magazine Rack to keep them orderly yet within arm’s reach.
