Batteries-It seems like there is always something that needs its batteries replaced at the most inconvenient times. Moving being one of those times.
Candle-One such as the LED Lytes Flameless Candle is great because it can be used again and again.
Chamber of Commerce Directory–If your neighbors and/or friends are new to the area, this directory can be an invaluable resource because it lists businesses by category and generally has a special newcomer section with phone numbers that homeowners will need early on.
Cleaning Clothes-The microfiber kind that can be washed and reused such as these AmazonBasics Thick Microfiber 3 Pack are really useful.
Command Hooks-Seems like getting art and other items hung up on walls in a new place is always a chore. Make it easier with these Command Designer Hooks.
Cookies/Brownies–Nothing says welcome quite like a nice batch of chocolate chip cookies or decadent brownies.
Cutting Board-No one wants to scar up the counters in their newly purchased home or dig through boxes to find cutting boards when they are hungry.
Dish Clothes-Your gift recipient will appreciate having some dish drying tools out and ready to go.
Dishwasher Detergent Packs-Handy to have as other cleaning supplies may be buried in a moving box somewhere.
Drink Coasters-These Thirsty Stone Sandstone Coasters are always nice for preserving the furniture.
Dustpan-A sturdy one for cleaning up the messes that comes with unpacking will be much appreciated.
Flashlight-Great for looking in dimly lit cabinets and other places to find things. Try the J5 Tactical Original 300 Lumen Ultra Bright, LED 3 Mode Flashlight.
Hand Soap-Because who can remember to pack the soap where you can get to easily when you are moving.
Krazy Glue-The need to glue things seems to come hand-in-hand with moving. It would be great if everything survived the move perfectly intact, but when has that ever happened. Easy fix with Gorilla Super Glue Gel.
Magic Erasers-Good for getting out the scuffs that come with moving furniture and carrying boxes into a new place.
Map of Area-Any neighbors moving in from out of town will definitely appreciate a map to help them find their way around.
Microwave Popcorn-Love this Orville Redenbacher Movie Theatre Tub, (Pack of 6) because no bowls are needed.
Night Lights-So helpful for getting around in the dark in a not yet familiar home.
Power Strip-For helping protect sensitive electronics and making the most of the outlets, pick up a AmazonBasics 6-Outlet Surge Protector Power Strip.
Screwdriver-A Stanley Ratcheting Multi-Bit Screwdriver will help the new homeowner to tighten or loosen screws of many different sizes. So handy when first adjusting things in a new living space.
Sheet of Restaurant Recommendations–Awesome for those individual news to town. You can share your wisdom about good local eats. Also, throw some coupons in if you have those laying around.
Smoke Detector-This Kidde Battery Operated Smoke Alarm is a simple home appliance that truly can save lives.
Stamps-For sending out those change of address notices.
Wall Cross-For helping make a house a “home”.
WD-40-For putting a quick end to any annoying squeaks.
Windex-Your gift receivers will appreciate being able to make the glass shine throughout their new home.
Great containers for your Housewarming Gifts baskets include traditional wicker baskets, serving trays, storage cubes, and planter pots.

Lovely ideas! Pinned.
Thanks so much.
Love that this list doesn’t include potted plants. LED candles are a great idea for everything from special occasions to power outages.
I absolutely love my LED candles because you do not have to worry about making sure they are blown out before you go anywhere.
