Our Holiday Gift Guide for New Homeowners

Buying a home is undoubtedly worth celebrating, but finding the perfect gift for a new homeowner can be difficult. It’s not just about figuring out which household items your friend needs most. It’s also about making their home feel more welcoming, helping them express their personality, and ultimately facilitating a smooth transition into this new space. 

With that in mind, here are a few tasteful and useful gifts for that new homeowner in your life:

Our 2024 Holiday Gift Guide for New Homeowners

• For the one from another era: Buying a home in Miami is living the dream, and nobody captured that lifestyle better than iconic photographer Slim Aarons. When house guests see this great coffee table book, “Slim Aarons: Style” on in your living room, they won’t question your taste or capacity for fun ever again. 

• For the aspiring beach bum: Nobody wants dirt and debris in their new home, and this dreamy doormat reading “This Way to the Pool” will keep your friend’s floors bright and shiny while giving their home a soothing vibe. They’ll also remind anyone with a less-than-perfect mood that their troubles are over when they step inside. 

• For the thoughtful entertainer: Cordless and rechargeable, the Carden Outdoor LED lamp from Rejuvenation can seamlessly switch between indoor and outdoor use. It’s also wet-rated, so you don’t have to worry if you leave it outside in a little rain shower after a lovely night in the backyard. 

• For the captain of their ship: Owning a home brings out the captain in all of us. No, you can’t share a drink with Jack Sparrow, but your friend can catch a glimpse of life on the open seas with this ship in a bottle decanter. Besides, drinking on water is just so much more fun than drinking on land. 

• For the eccentric bibliophile: With this one finishing touch, your friend’s bookshelf instantly fits into their whole house’s aesthetic. Being a genuine bibliophile is rare these days, so why not help your friend show off their mind-expanding habit with these elegantly delightful Gold Finished Pineapple Bookends? 

• For the multi-tasking meal-prepper: Anyone who owns an air fryer knows it is an absolute game-changer. So, for that someone who is always saying they never have enough time to prepare their favorite meals, the Instant Pot Vortex Plus will make sure they can put that brand-new beautiful kitchen and dining room to use. 

• For the busy mom: Between soccer practice, gymnastics routines, doctor appointments and late school drop-offs – the moms in our lives are always carrying a lot on their shoulders. Remind them that you’ve got their back around with a gift card to the famed Spa at the Biltmore Hotel for an indulgent 60 minutes or more to themselves. And for the moms who could use a little some’n fresh – why not toss in a gift card to Whole Foods, Fresh Market or even Publix. It may sound cheesy, but there isn’t a mom who wouldn’t appreciate a week of free groceries. They’ll be more than grateful to receive a truly helpful and essential gift. 

You really can’t go wrong with any of these timeless options this holiday season. Now that we’ve done the hardest part for you, get that credit card out and click “buy” before your favorite option sells out!
