Homes are full of memories and selling them can bring many emotions. However, it is a new dawn for your home’s new owners, and they are ready and excited to make new memories in that new home!
Offering the home’s new owners a thoughtful gift as they move in is a great idea, and you will leave behind a lasting impression. Let’s see a few ideas on gifts you can give them to make their moving and transition a little easier.
Gifts to Gift the New Home Owner
- A neighborhood guide
In most cases, your home’s new owners are probably new to the neighborhood. You can make their exploration easier by writing a list of places like restaurants, gyms, hospitals, malls and more.
- Wine glasses and wine
Moving can be hectic but exciting, and every great thing deserves a toast. Get the new owners a bottle of good wine and glasses and let them toast this new chapter of life before unpacking.
- Practical home items
This is a good idea, especially when you don’t know your home’s new owners on a personal level. It can be hard to get them a personalized gift so go for something they will use daily, like a utensil organizer or some dish towels and hand soap.
- Gift cards to a restaurant
Everybody loves restaurant gift cards. This is a fantastic gift because you will not only introduce the new owners to the neighborhood and town but also save them the energy to cook through tedious unpacking.
- A plant, flowers, or garden seeds
If the home has a yard, you can leave them garden seeds or flowers to plant to begin their first garden in the new home. A house plant is also a good gift!
Other things to note…
Gifts such as cleaning supplies, a toilet plunger and flashlights may send the wrong message. It could say that the home has constant issues with lighting or plumbing. Also, home decor is not a good idea not unless you know their taste. Just play it safe with a thoughtful neutral gift.
