The Season of Giving – Gift Ideas for all the Homeowners in your Life

Coming up with gift ideas for the people in your life can be difficult sometimes.  We have put together a gift-giving guide for those people that have moved into a new home or a new condo.  Perhaps you are the one that has moved this year if so we included some ideas for little gifts for your new neighbours around the holiday season.

Homeowners

Buying gifts for the new homeowners in your life can be an exciting gift to shop for and the possibilities can seem endless! Toasters, towels, and linens at every corner! If your homeowner hasn’t registered anywhere, the choices can easily make a fun experience feel like a nightmare. Here is your cheat sheet with the top 5 gifts to buy a new homeowner this holiday season.

• There is nothing like a Christmas Tree Ornament to commemorate a milestone in someone’s life.
• Welcome signs or front door mats are great ways to decorate the front door while the new occupants organize indoors.
• Monogrammed keychains
• Subscriptions to Netflix or CraveTV.
• A homeowner’s toolset will surely come in handy!
• New Neighbours

New Neighbours

Welcoming new residents into the neighbourhood can be an exciting time for both you and them. We are anxious to get to know these new faces and find out if we’ll be exchanging friendly smiles and small talk or inviting them over for BBQ’s or game nights in the near future, and there is no better way to break the ice with those new neighbours during the holiday season than with a small and thoughtful gift. Check out our Homeowner gift-giving guide to the top 5 gift ideas to impress your new neighbours.

• Homemade goodies - How sweet it is to live close to you!
• A plant, such as a poinsettia, that looks nice and brings festive cheer.
• A gift card to a local restaurant in the neighbourhood.
• A welcome mat to dress their front step
• Neighbourhood gear (T-shirts, pens, or notepads) with any essential information on the neighbourhood to pass along.

Condo Owners

It takes a lot of thought to find the perfect gift for friends and family over the holiday season, and one common mistake that many gift-givers make is not knowing what the recipient necessarily wants or needs. If you are buying for Condo owners, in particular, space can be limited which can make gift-giving even harder; the challenge becomes finding gifts that do not necessarily have to be stored for too long, or at all. So put down that toaster oven and check out these top 5 ideas for gifts to give your space-saving Condominium dwelling friends and family this holiday season:

• Candles or oil diffusers for the scent lovers in your life
• Experiences such as Spa treatments, movies, concerts for the people who enjoy a night out
• Food and Drink (wine, nuts, or chocolates are sure to please the pallet)
• Winter accessories (hat, scarf, mitts - who can say no to some stylish winter wear)
• Phone or tablet accessories (I am sure we all wish we had another charger at some point or another)
