They can never own enough cutting boards! Help brighten up their brand-new kitchen with this gift for new homeowners. We’re huge fans of Material’s reBoards because they’re cute and colorful, BPA-free, and made entirely of kitchen plastic scraps and renewable sugarcane. They can take a rough chopping, too — we use ours almost nightly, and it doesn’t look warped and worn.

This gift for new homeowners is the EVOO that they'll be breaking out for the next party you're invited to. It is made in the Peloponnese region of southern Greece, and in our review of Kosterina's Olive Oil, we say that it's drinkably good.

It’s great for bread dipping or for tossing in a salad ... or even for drizzling atop vanilla ice cream. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it!

This Kardashian-level electric tea kettle is the best gift for the tea-drinking gadget lover in your life. "The next-generation Stagg EKG Pro brings a full suite of features to tinker with (like chime loudness, hold-temp length, altitude adjustment, etc.), all from a beautiful high-resolution screen," says our senior service editor, Melanie Yates, in their review.

Using the knob on its base, they can toggle through numerous brew settings on its full-color screen. When not in use, this same screen stays on to display the time, either analog- or digital-style. It can even play a secret video game!

Click and Grow's indoor herb garden is a clever housewarming gift that gives your recipient the right tools to grow fresh herbs and veggies year-round. It comes with a supply of basil pods and can grow up to three plants at once.

The system is self-watering and features lights that automatically turn on and off, so it completely takes all of the guesswork out of gardening.

It's also a win for the space-conscious recipient. "I particularly appreciate the size and sleekness of this indoor garden, featuring a clean white exterior and a reasonable 5-by-12-inch size that doesn't occupy too much table space in a tiny apartment," shares our contributing editor, Zarah Kavarana, in their review.

While dropping off a bottle of wine is a little bit blah as a gift for new homeowners, getting them a VINEBOX is a very different story. This advent calendar-style tasting sampler contains 12 glass tubes that all hold a generous pour of wine.

The reds, whites, and rosés in this box were all selected by certified sommeliers, so you know they'll be getting the top-shelf stuff.

They've probably been using old take-out containers as food storage for far too long. Enter: Anyday Microwave Cookware. This genius housewarming gift includes two frosted glass bowls and locking glass lids.

Everything can go in the microwave to heat up or cook food as needed. Both bowls in this Starter Set are the perfect size for storing dinner leftovers and transporting them to work for lunch the next day.

Banish the buzzing from their backyard with this compact device that they'll be glad to have on hand when the weather starts to heat up. This grapefruit-sized gadget creates a scent-free, 15-foot barrier against mosquitoes. It lasts 6-7 hours on a charge and comes with a cartridge that lasts for 12 hours.

"It's an easy-to-operate device that's rechargeable, easy to refill, and wonderfully effective at repelling mosquitoes," writes our senior electronics editor, Brandon Carte, in their review of the Thermacell's Radius Zone Mosquito Repellent Device.

It's a risk to get someone a set of sheets as a housewarming present, but not when you're buying them the Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheets.

The buttery-soft, ultra cooling material may be a little pricier than the competition, but it’s because every part of the manufacturing process is meticulous and held to the highest standards of sustainability and fair labor practices.

Our parenting editor, Cat Bowen, is also a fan, "If you want luxury bedding that you know is sustainable, durable, and beautiful, you want Cozy Earth. It's a great addition to your home."

With this housewarming gift, movie nights at their place will never be the same. The editor-favorite Capsule by Anker is a reasonably priced mini projector that doesn't feel cheap. It dishes out a clear image and outstanding 360-degree sound quality, Plus, it packs 4 hours of battery life, so it'll last the length of a movie.

Your recipient will get many uses out of, just like our senior electronics editor, Brandon Carte, did in his review, "I’ve used my Capsule to play Mario Kart on a garage door, watch Netflix at an Airbnb in Mexico City, and to fittingly binge-watch soaps from a bathtub. Despite its small shape, its speakers are surprisingly loud."

If they just moved in, we’re going to guess that their dinner menu is going to be 99% pasta until further notice. Give them a hand with a subscription to Sfoglini’s Pasta of the Month Club as a housewarming gift.

Each month for either 3 or 6 months, they’ll get two boxes of pasta: one signature pasta shape and a surprise seasonal variety.

This is a another gift for new homeowners that'll put dinner on the table in a timely manner. The Instant Pot Duo60 6-Quart Programmable Pressure Cooker is beloved by thousands of reviewers for a reason — its functionality is second to none.

This slow cooker can also be used as a pressure cooker, rice cooker, yogurt maker, and steamer. All of these presets can be programmed with just the push of a button, which sets the time and temp automatically. Its lid clamps on for a tight (and safe) seal to ensure the meal will be completely cooked on time.

Make their (move-in) day by getting them the essential oil diffuser that they've seen in every chic home goods store. The Vitruvi Stone Diffuser is a petite 5 inches tall and holds 90 milliliters of water.

It has a 4- or 8-hour run time and an LED light band at its base that they can turn on or off. We recommend also getting them the Pacific oil blend for a thoughtful gift combo!

Sending a Framebridge gift card (available in preset or custom amounts) as a gift for new homeowners is the perfect way to help complete their space without imposing your personal taste. This custom framing service is fit to tackle projects of any size, from finding the perfect frame to complement a prized piece to an entire gallery-wall consultation.

Even if they're all set on bath towels, a fresh set of hand towels is always appreciated as a housewarming gift. Onsen's waffle-weave material is one of the best we've ever tried.

"Onsen's towel is a standout from all other types of waffle-weave towels because of its impressive absorbency level. The stretchy, airy, multidimensional structure of the towel's weave looks and feels great, but it also adeptly soaks up moisture while allowing it to dry out quickly," says senior service editor, Melanie Yates, on our list of best bath towels.

This set of hand towels is made of long-staple Supima cotton, which gives them superior strength and softness.

Gift them the assurance of a perfectly cooked dinner every single night with the MEATER smart thermometer. This set comes with four rechargeable probes that are made from stainless steel and are built to withstand temperatures up to 527 degrees Fahrenheit.

"For me, the selling point of the MEATER thermometer is its exceptionally helpful and easy-to-use smartphone app. It's super intuitive and is extremely well-designed," mentions Brandon Carte in his review.
These connect to an app that provides updates on their current meat doneness, along with how much longer they have left until their meal has reached the right temperature.

If their new place is also doubling as their home office, this tech gift will be much appreciated. Sony’s WH-1000XM5 noise-canceling headphones are one of the very best you can buy, because of their comfy design, strong noise cancellation, and super crisp audio quality.

Available in silver or black, the new cans have a fast USB-C charging connector — you can get 3 hours of playback after only 3 minutes.

The Roku Streaming Stick is an affordable gift that your recipient will get countless hours of enjoyment using. It plugs in at the back of their TV and provides them easy access to all of their streaming services in top-notch 4K quality.

Also, we love the Roku remote — its comfortable shape and easy-to-press buttons are so much better than any other out there.

The Westinghouse 1804 is a portable, battery-powered air purifier that removes bacteria, viruses, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), odors, and allergens from the air.

It's a great gift for just about any new homeowner, because they can use it at home to help reduce potential irritants that could impact their health. Plus, if they're hosting a gathering, having it run quietly in the background will help give some peace of mind.

It’s time for them to break up with the Brita pitcher they’ve had since college. The LARQ Pitcher PureVis is a next-level water pitcher that not only filters the water that comes out of their tap, but also sanitizes it with a built-in UV-C light. The pitcher also connects to an app that’ll give them a read on the light’s battery, the filter’s status, and their water intake.
