Granite Stone Diamond 10-piece nonstick alumnium cookware set

The whole process of moving into your first apartment or buying a new house can be exhausting. I speak from experience, as someone who just bought my first home. Once I got the keys, my long and arduous journey turned out to be entirely worth it. In order to make my house cozier, I realized after I moved in that I needed loads of new things for my kitchen, bathroom and living room.

First-time homeowners and new renters aren’t looking to spend even more money. This is where housewarming gifts come in. All types of presents, from basic necessities to extravagant items are available at a variety of prices to help homeowners fill their new space. 

Don’t know what to bring your friends or family for their new crib? Here’s our list of the 22 best housewarming gifts. 

home depot gift card
Home Depot

Sometimes the best thing you can give a cash-strapped new homeowner or renter is money, so you can hand them a gift card for just about anywhere. But if you get them a gift card for Home Depot or Lowe’s, they’ll be grateful. A card like this one can go a long way to jazz up a home.

sushi set
Uncommon Goods

Give a unique and lovely housewarming gift without breaking the bank. This sushi set includes two plates, two dipping dishes and two sets of chopsticks. Perfect for homemade or takeout sushi and sashimi.

alphabet mango wood cheese charcuterie board
Pottery Barn

Moving into a new home means plenty of new opportunities to entertain. This cheese and charcuterie board is perfect for a party or small gathering. And adding their initial to it makes it extra personal.

amazon wine glasses
Amazon

Want to celebrate over wine? Bring these all-purpose wine glasses over as a way to catch up and chat about the whole homebuying ordeal — or not. Either way, glasses are always appreciated for people who love to entertain with wine.

venge-vineyards
Vivino

Red wine can please the fussiest palate. But you also don’t want to get something that will break the bank, so Venge Vineyards’ Cabernet Sauvignon is a good, happy medium. This wine has blackberry, oaky vanilla and smoky notes and pairs well with cheese, beef and game meat.

antropologie-mugs
Anthropologie

Coffee and tea drinkers all love nice mugs. This one can be personalized with the first initial of the homeowner’s name, and the design on the mug is stunning, too. 

hyperchiller-wine
HyperChiller

Wine can be a difficult thing to buy people, especially if you don’t know what someone likes. But you can still get something that will make wine enjoyable to drink. Grab a hyperchiller that will chill wine in no time. Check out our list if you want more suggestions for the best gift for wine drinkers.

shower-steamers
Amazon

Everyone deserves to be pampered, and sometimes that happens in the shower. Help that new homeowner or renter get the relaxation they need by gifting them this aromatherapy variety pack. There’s lavender, watermelon, grapefruit and other calming aromas that dissolve away the stress.  

granite-stone-diamond
Macy’s

This 10-piece set comes with everything you need to get started in a new kitchen and makes for a perfect upgrade for anyone who needs a whole set to match their new kitchen. This nonstick cookware set is oven-safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. I have this set and couldn’t be more satisfied. 

yankee-candle
Yankee Candle

You can’t go wrong with a good set of candles, and Yankee Candles are my go-to choice for great scents. My personal favorite is Lavender Vanilla. Shoot for the larger candles for $31, as they last longer.

smart-soap-amazon
Amazon

This automatic soap dispenser from Amazon is not only one of our favorites, it’s designed with good hygiene in mind. It features a 20-second timer for proper hand washing. We found that this soap dispenser can last for a few months on just one charge. See our Amazon Smart Soap Dispenser review.

ruggable
Ruggable

This Jonathan Alder model is a nice neutral but graphic choice for a rug. Once you choose your rug style (area, runner or round), you can get it made with a classic or cushioned rug pad, which is best for standing and bending. My rug is larger, so it’s more costly, but the 3×5 version is just as nice to spice up a room, and it’s affordable. Ruggable models like this one are machine washable — that’s a lifesaver if you spill something on it.

bayco
Amazon

There’s nothing too fancy about these containers. This is a 18-piece glass container set that can be used to store meals or just hold food that’s not in use. Whether you use these to freeze food or toss them in the microwave, all food will be good to go. Read more on why we love these containers in our round-up of the best meal prep containers.

le-creuset
Williams Sonoma

What better way to feel welcome in a new home than a quality dinnerware set? Not only is Le Creuset a coveted brand, this set also has enough to host a few people. You can choose between three colors — nectar, French grey, and white. There are four dinner plates, salad plates, mugs and the choice of pasta bowls or cereal bowls too.

microcomputer-controlled-rice-cooker
Walmart

As CNET’s best rice cooker overall, the Tiger rice cooker can transform uncooked rice to fluffy goodness in 21 minutes. This machine has four simple controls: white rice, brown rice, slow cook/steam and synchronized cook settings that allow two things to cook at once. 

cozy-earth
Cozy Earth

Sweat-wicking and breathable, these bamboo sheets feel great against your skin, so you can comfortably sleep through the night. This set has two pillowcases, a top sheet and fitted sheet from twin to split king sizes. These sheets are made to never pill and come in seven different colors. Pricing for queen-size sheets is $292. I absolutely love these sheets and find it hard to sleep on anything else.

air-fryer
Ninja

As CNET’s best overall air fryer, the Ninja AF101 is not only the most powerful we’ve used, but also the fastest because it can zap chicken wings and fries into crispy meals in no time. With simple controls, anyone can use it without fuss. 

Aerogarden
Aerogarden

Indoor gardens like the AeroGarden Sprout can work well for people who don’t have a green thumb, as well as for budding chefs looking for fresh herbs to add to their dinner. This AeroGarden has a light hood that grows everything five times as fast and has simple controls that anyone can use. 

Eufy RoboVac 25C
Amazon

This Eufy RoboVac is our best budget vacuum for picking up low-pile, medium-pile and pet hair fairly well on hardwood floors and carpets. While the navigation is not as good as the Roborock S7, it still gets the job done. The Eufy RoboVac can be connected to a wireless network and accept commands via smartphone or voice when paired with a smart home speaker and touch. Read our Eufy RoboVac 25C review.

hamilton-beach-stand-mixer
Hamilton Beach

This Hamilton Beach stand mixer is a 7-speed powerhouse in a small package. It features a standard tilt-up head for easy bowl removal, a dough hook, whisk and flat beater to fulfill all your cooking needs. 

sparoom
Amazon

This oil diffuser by SpaRoom is CNET’s best budget diffuser. While it doesn’t have all the added features of high-end diffusers, this one still gets the job done by providing a great mist output for a medium-sized room. With a 3-hour runtime, an LED light that changes color and a 100-milliliter capacity, you can get a spa-like experience at home.
