It is only natural to want to share in a loved one’s joy once they officially receive the keys to their first property. Yet you might be unsure about the best present for their needs once they have moved into their new address.
If you want to provide your friend or relative with a gift that will become a much-loved item in their home, here are six fantastic gifts for first-time homeowners.
-
A Scented Candle
A first-time homeowner will more than likely have been so busy buying cookware, glassware and bedding, so they might have forgotten to have purchased some of life’s little luxuries. Make them feel right at home by presenting your loved one with a beautifully scented candle, which can instantly personalise their space. Plus, the aroma will help to cover up the smell of dusty boxes or cleaning products. You can take your pick from luxury scented candles at Pairfum.com, an Artisan Perfumery House which prides itself on handmade fragranced candles that are healthy for your home and family.
-
A Cookbook
A new homeowner might have plenty of new dishes in the kitchen cabinet, but they might not have a clue how to make delicious food in their new home. If your loved one is a cooking novice, a cookbook might be the perfect gift for their new home. Pick a cookbook that’s filled with easy recipes from trusted chefs, such as Jamie Oliver or Gordon Ramsay.
-
An Instant Coffee Maker
Provide your loved one with a little bit of luxury by buying them an instant coffee maker. Rather than waiting for the kettle to boil, your friend or relative can enjoy a hot cup of joe that tastes better than coffee straight from a jar, as they can make everything from an Americano to a cappuccino. You could even throw in some coffee pods and cups to help get them started. It’s one gift they’re bound to appreciate.
-
A Toolbox
You can trust your loved one will need a hammer, drill, tape measure and pliers once they move in, as there will more than likely be many DIY projects ahead of them. As they might have been too busy thinking about the perfect sofa and comfortable beds, they might not have give a toolbox a second thought – but it is one gift they will certainly appreciate (and need) once they move in.
-
A Houseplant
As your loved one will more than likely be surrounded by boxes for the first few days or weeks after moving in, you can trust a houseplant will help to brighten up their space. It will add a little colour to their interior, and it can also create a cleaner environment, which will make their home feel fresh and clean.
-
Gardening Tools
As they have never owned their own home before, they might also be a first-time garden owner, too. If so, you can trust they will need many gardening tools throughout the years so that they will be an ideal moving in gift. For example, you can present them with rakes, pruners, shovels, hoses, trowels and a watering can.
