Becoming a first-time homebuyer is an exciting milestone, and the new owners could always use some help in equipping and personalizing their new space. If you're choosing a holiday gift for new buyers, you'll want to make it useful and not too personal. After all, you don't want them to have to display your gift of a vase or other décor when you visit, only to put it back in the closet when you leave!

Our brokers suggest the following options if you're shopping for holiday gifts for first-time homebuyers:

1. Home Improvement Store Gift Card
   New homeowners will make frequent trips to their local home improvement store. Why not give them a gift card to help them buy everything from lighting fixtures to caulk? Choose a few home improvement magazines to include for inspiration, put a note and the gift card on top, and tie them together with a ribbon.
2. Classic Cookbook
   A new homeowner might be learning the basics of how to cook, so a trusted classic like "The Joy of Cooking" can help them get started. Homeowners with more experience in the kitchen might like a cookbook focused on their favorite cuisine. You can also include a subscription to a magazine like "Food & Wine" or "Taste of Home" to provide fresh inspiration throughout the year.
