Hey friends! Today I’m sharing over 40 first home gifts for new homeowners! Many of my best friends have been buying their first home (omg so exciting!), so I’ve been doing a LOT of shopping. I thought it would be helpful to share my finds with fellow peeps who are searching “first home gifts” on Google search, lol!!
This post is all about first home gifts.
First Home Gifts
When looking at buying first home gifts, there is a thing or two (ok, actually like 17 things!) I’ve learned from buying new home gifts over the last few years. Not all new home owners are the same, so I figured it would be helpful for me to share a few tips!
My Tips for Buying First Home Gifts:
- Think about SPACE! Some new home owners may not have space for big gifts! When I’m unsure about this, I’ll go for a smaller gift!
- Function Over Aesthetic! Ok, you all know I’m aesthetic girlie — but many of my best friends and family members don’t have a similar aesthetic! For this reason, I usually go with really functional and useful gifts — so they can use their budget to buy the FUN things. Plus, I’m a schemer and I know they’ll think of me every time they use something useful!
- Consummables: For folks who are moving cross country or have a lot going on, giving a “consummable” gift (wine, candle, etc) can be a great gift! It’s low stress!
Alright, let’s get to the list!
If you have any questions (or suggestions on what to add to this post), I LOVE hearing from my readers! You can always send me a DM on Instagram for advice for a specific picky recipient (love that) or send me an email with a review of gift you personally bought! I love that!

#1 First Home Gifts: Home Portrait | $29.00+
My first idea for new home owner gifts comes from Sophia Lee, actually! In her YouTube series, she buys a house that has a TON of illustrations that the original owner made! I thought that this was such a great first home gift, and so thoughtful!!! Truly a family memento!

#2 First Home Gifts: New Home Wine Label | $6.00+
You know the adage, “KISS: Keep It Simple, Stupid”? I love that, lol!! This wine label sticker is the PERFECT low maintenance and easy first home gift — and I have personally thought about buying a bunch of these to just have on hand, lol, as everyone in my life is buying their first home! (You can substitute the bottle of wine for a sparkling Welch bottle if your new home owners don’t drink!)

#3 First Home Gifts: White Noise Machine
If you’re new to The Huntswoman (welcome!!) then you may not know that I basically include THIS white noise machine on every one of my gift cards. I’m like the Avon lady for this thing, lol! I think EVERYONE should have one — it’s great for sleeping, if someone is working from home, etc! Truly a gamechanger!

#4 First Home Gifts: Wine Chiller Trough | $87.44+
I thouht this would be a fun new homeowner gift for the oenophiles (wine lovers) out there! It can be personalized with the family name and the city of their first home! I love that!

#7 First Home Gifts: Drying Rack
This drying rack is ANOTHER useful and utilitarian gift that I have put on a LOT of my gift guides — because I’m obsessed with it! Hang drying your clothes can make them last longer, but the traditional wooden racks often collapse (especially if you’re a fashion blogger, cough, who has a lot of clothes, cough cough). I have loaded this BABY UP with jeans, sweaters, etc, and it’s never failed me! 10/10 love it, and I personally recommend this one!

This next gift is giving me fancy vibes, and it’s definitely on my mood board for *my* first house! a personalized door knocker! (Note: You may want to feel out the new homeowners on this gift to see if they’d like it, this is a pretty specific kind of taste!)

#11 First Home Gifts: Key Finder
Y’all, I lose my keys ALL the time! My mom got a key finder like this when I still lived at home, and it was LIFE SAVER! I lvoe that it can be used for multiple family members or types of keys (guesthouse, storage unit, shed, etc)! This is truly a gamechanger!

#13 First Home Gifts: Return Address Stamp | $29.00+
I have REALLY gotten into sending cards in the mail this last year, and I think that writing your address OVER and OVER is such a pain! For that reason, I think a stamp with a home address is super useful AND a great first home gift! This is a small gift that can help your new homeowners celebrate their new address, and keep their hand from cramping around Christmas card season lol!

#15 First Home Gifts: Custom Name Sign For Wreath | $26.50 +
Ok, this first home gift isn’t my exact aesthetic, but it is genius — a door wreath WITH a family name on it?So cute and personalized! I think that this first home is great for a fan of Joanna Gaines or new farmhouse traditional decor!
