For the DIY homeowner

For the loved one always dreaming up new projects, isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty, and tends to bite off more than they can chew, these top picks are sure to inspire their next big undertaking:

Cordless drill set

A great screwdriver is a lifelong investment, and if your homeowner has a list of DIY projects ahead, the Klein 11- in-1 Multi Bit Impact Rated Screwdriver is a good bet. Whether your DIYer is putting together furniture, installing light fixtures, or tackling bigger renovation projects, this screwdriver will be a reliable, much-appreciated addition to their efforts.

Said Frontdoor® Expert electrician Johnny Sharif, “This handy screwdriver has many uses. It’s 11 different screwdrivers and nut drivers in 1 tool. You can also use them in your cordless impact driver as the bits are all rated to do so.” Why not get the DIY-er in your life a tool that’s as professional as their home aspirations? As Johnny said, the Klein multi-bit screwdriver is a “great tool for electrical and any home maintenance” your homeowner is looking to do.

Your DIYer may not know they want a digital measuring tape, but it’s a Christmas gift for homeowners that will utterly transform the way they work. The Reekon Tomahawk Digital Tape Measure is a sleek, modern gadget that delivers accurate measurements in milliseconds and syncs straight to your smartphone.

For the tech savvy homeowner

If you’re searching for what to buy the new homeowner that loves staying on top of the latest tech trends, choose a gift they would never consider buying themselves. Here are some of our recommendations for your plugged-in pal:

Wi-Fi enabled smart thermostat

A smart thermostat is one of those gifts that stands the test of time and truly pays off in the long run. The tech-savvy homeowner will appreciate how a smart thermostat like the Ecobee Wifi-Enabled Smart Thermostat levels up their energy savings. Through an accompanying app, it’s easy to adjust the thermostat at any time, and even easier to set customized settings. A smart thermostat is the perfect Christmas gift for homeowners to help them feel both cozy and in control of their savings — and that’s truly a reason to celebrate.

Smart lightbulbs

If you’re looking for a smaller, yet genuinely practical new homeowner gift to celebrate your loved one’s milestone, a set of Phillips Hue smart LED lightbulbs might be just the thing. These bulbs allow homeowners to create the custom lighting environments of their dreams.

With adjustable colors, dimming options, and schedules, they’ll never have to worry about how to illuminate getting a drink of water at night or wake up on-time in the morning. Phillips smart lightbulbs are sure to light up their life long after the holiday season comes to an end.

Robot vacuum

A robot vacuum is the ultimate gift for homeowners who want to keep their space clean with minimal effort. Models like the Roborock Qrevo Pro Robot Vacuum are packed with features such as auto-dust-emptying and auto-tank-refilling, making it an incredibly efficient helper around the house.

The Qrevo Robot Vacuum is perfect for pet owners, busy families, or anyone who wants spotless floors without lifting a finger. With a robot vacuum, your loved one will enjoy more free time for the things that matter most — and once they have it, they’ll wonder how they ever lived without it.

For the cozy homebody

Chic, comfy home goods are reliably the best holiday gifts, especially for the homeowners you know who love their houses so much they never want to leave them. Discover our top tips for adding to their creature comforts:

High-quality blankets

It’s always worth investing in sleep, and your loved ones will appreciate the gift of a better one. With a Bed Bath & Beyond Coma Inducer Blanket you’re promising your loved one a sleep so good that they physically won’t want to leave their bed.

Sure you could get the person you love a blanket. But why not get a comforter so plus, so irresistible, that they call it “The Coma Inducer”? That’s the kind of sleep a hardworking homeowner deserves! Perfect for those cold winter nights or lazy weekend mornings, these blankets give the homeowner in your life the ideal way to enjoy their space: from the comfort of their bed.

Scented candles

Everyone knows that your home needs a signature scent (or two… or three). Help the new homeowners in your life on their way to achieving olfactory bliss through the gift of a candle from Harlem Candle company.

Each hand-poured candle intertwines luxury and history, with scents inspired by Harlem’s vibrant past and iconic figures like Billie Holiday and Langston Hughes. With long-lasting, rich scents like speakeasy-inspired bourbon or lush florals, these candles add another dimension to any room. 

Luxury bath salts

When it’s time to unwind after a long day of home projects, Kneipp Bath Salts are the perfect remedy. Sourced from pure, natural thermal spring salt, these bath salts are infused with essential oils that help melt stress away while nourishing the skin.

These are great Christmas gifts for homeowners to encourage them to take care of themselves — and take advantage of their beautiful bathtubs! These natural salt soaks can be great for easing sore muscles (after a big renovation project?) and turning any bath into a luxurious spa experience. 

For the host and entertainer

If your homeowner is a social butterfly, consider giving them a gift that helps put the finishing touches on their new home's design and brings them closer to hosting the housewarming party of the century. Consider these fantastic gift ideas for someone eager to entertain:

Elegant servingware

The most important part of any dinner party is the servingware, and with CB2’s elegant dishware sets, you can help your friends and family bring an elegant flair to any evening event. From cheese boards that will make any charcuterie board shine to cake stands and serving platters that may just take the attention away from your Bon-Appétit-test-kitchen-worthy creations, CB2 has the statement pieces to elevate any party spread.

The first events in a new house are special, and CB2 servingware is the perfect new homeowner gift to help your loved one commemorate that special occasion. At the very least, a dishware set like this guarantees you’ll be invited over again and again.

Stunning, simple bar cart

Sometimes, simple and elegant is best. Get the new homeowner in your life a piece of fun and functional furniture to help fill some of the extra space they’ve gained in their square footage upgrade, with this chic bar cart from Target. With enough room to hold all of their cocktail-making essentials, a bar cart is a great way to add a stylish touch to a space and assist in throwing a successful celebration.

Smart plugs for smart kitchen gadgets

Frontdoor appliance Expert Ken Bass recommended smart kitchen appliances for the homeowner in your life looking for a big upgrade. “[Smart refrigerators] feature touch screen operation, built-in cameras, and compatibility with smart home systems, enabling remote monitoring of storage contents, meal planning, and shopping list. [Smart ovens] feature preset cooking functions suitable for various dishes, from roasting to baking to broiling to steaming and air frying.” 

For a host that loves to be out on the floor chatting to party guests, these appliances help free up some hands and take a little stress off their plate. Added Ken, “[Smart temp gauges] are perfect for remotely monitoring fridge temperatures and humidity to minimize food loss and property damage. Less expensive non-remote digital gauges also make great stocking stuffers.”

Something like the Thermoworks NODE temperature/humidity monitor delivers just the results Ken mentioned. If your homeowner is always in the kitchen, this can be a great way to celebrate the intricacy of their craft while making life just a little bit more convenient.

For the outdoorsy homeowner

For the homeowner who loves puttering around in the garden or spending time with friends on the outdoor patio, a great gift idea is something that elevates their outdoor space. Our top picks include:

Firepit accessories

If one of the best features of your loved one’s home is the outdoor social space, they’ll love Breeo firepit accessories to take their backyard experience to the next level. Whether they plan to cook elaborate meals or simply roast s’mores and relax with friends, Breeo has something to take their firepit game to the next level. From grilling tools and sleek firepit covers to heat deflectors and spark screens, these firepit accessories are the ideal Christmas gifts for homeowners who cherish making memories under the stars.

Gardening trowel

Green-thumbed homeowners will love the Wilcox All-Pro garden trowel — a trusty tool for any gardening project, from planting to weeding. These trowels are built to last, with durable stainless steel that can handle tough soil without bending or breaking. If your loved one is looking forward to warmer weather that allows them to get back to cultivating their flower beds or spreading compost in the backyard garden, this tool makes every dig smoother and more efficient.

Smart indoor garden

For the homeowner who dreams of fresh herbs and veggies year-round, the Gardyn Smart Indoor Garden is the perfect solution. This high-tech, compact garden uses AI to monitor and maintain plants, meaning they can grow everything from basil to tomatoes indoors, with minimal effort. 

With app control and automatic watering and lighting, Gardyn makes growing fresh produce easier than ever. Plus, its sleek design fits perfectly in kitchens or living spaces.
