The holiday season is the perfect time to celebrate new beginnings and spread cheer. If you have a friend, family member, or client who has recently become a homeowner, these Christmas gift ideas will help make their new house feel like a home. Check out Murray Company, Realtors top ten festive and thoughtful gift ideas to welcome new homeowners this Christmas.
A personalized holiday welcome mat is a charming way to greet guests during the festive season. You could also opt for a door sign or wreath that has their last initial. This type of welcome gift is easily customizable and is bound to add a touch of holiday spirit to their entryway. Plus, they may think of and thank you each time they walk into their home!
Make their holiday season even brighter with smart home devices like a smart thermostat, smart lights, or a smart speaker. This could be the basic Google Home or Amazon Alexa, but can expand to a Ring Doorbell, Nest Thermostat, or even a Shark Robot Vacuum. These gadgets not only add convenience but also enhance home security and can be programmed to create a cozy, festive atmosphere. Plus, they are super functional, making them the gift that keeps giving year round!
Know someone who loves stationary and handwritten cards? A custom Christmas address stamp is a unique and practical gift, perfect for sending out holiday cards and invitations. Choose a festive design that includes their new address and a holiday motif to make their correspondence extra special. They can continue to use this year after year and use it to spread cheer.
Help them tackle holiday DIY projects with a set of high-quality home maintenance tools. Consider a toolkit with a festive twist, such as holiday-themed handles or a gift-wrapped presentation, making it both practical yet seasonal.
A cozy holiday throw blanket can add warmth and comfort to their new home. Opt for a blanket with festive patterns or colors like red, green, or plaid to enhance their holiday décor. Or, you can take the minimalistic route and choose something that is beige or gray, but uniquely textured for a special touch. This gift is perfect because there is no such thing as too many cozy blankets!
A personalized Christmas cutting board is both a functional and decorative addition to any kitchen. Have it engraved with a festive message, their family name, or a holiday motif, making it a cherished keepsake they’ll use for gatherings year round.
Potted poinsettias or a holiday herb garden can bring a touch of Christmas cheer to their new home. Choose festive plants that are easy to care for and add a pop of color and holiday spirit to their space. However, poinsettias, lilies, holly berries and mistletoe can all be problematic for a homeowner with pets. So, keep that in mind when deciding what would best fit not only their home but also their lifestyle!
Customized holiday wall art, such as a festive family name sign, or holiday-themed prints, can help personalize their new home for the season. This thoughtful gift will make their new space feel warm and inviting during the holidays.
A gourmet Christmas food basket filled with holiday treats, wine, or artisanal foods is a delightful way to help them celebrate their new home. Choose high-quality, festive items to make the gift even more special and enjoyable. You can also add anything you want to fill up the basket from coffee mugs and wine glasses to gift cards – which brings us to our next and final go-to idea.
When in doubt, a holiday gift card to a popular home improvement store, a local restaurant, or a home décor shop is always a welcome gift. Some fan favorites include Home Depot, Lowe’s or Amazon. Or, you can put them on your favorite restaurant in the area! This allows the new homeowners to choose exactly what they need or want for their new space during the holiday season.
The holiday season is a time for joy, celebration, and giving. These thoughtful and festive gift ideas can help new homeowners feel welcomed and cherished in their new space. Whether practical or personal, each of these gifts is sure to be appreciated and enjoyed during this special time of year.
Happy Holidays from Murray Company, Relators!
