4 Qualities of a Great Christmas Gift for New Homeowners
We curated our list of Christmas gifts for new homeowners around 4 core principles. All the gift ideas in this guide meet all of the following criteria:
- The best gifts are extremely useful. Pretty gifts are great — but functional gifts are amazing. The perfect gift for housewarming parties at Christmas is one that improves the quality of life in a new home.
- Homeowners love personal and thoughtful ideas. Step past throwing names on an ornament — those new homeowners have more "new home ornaments" than they know what to do with!
- We focused on long-term value. A great housewarming gift is used over and over again, and becomes part of the fabric of a household. Give that gift during the holidays, and they'll always think of their first Christmas in a new home.
- We focused on smart homes and great technology. Resi Report is committed to smarter, more efficient homes for our readers. We chose gifts that reflect our passion for thoughtful design, easy application and smart home improvement.

Christmas Gift Ideas for New Homeowners: For the Bedroom
Memory Foam Mattress from BedInABox®
Shop BedInABox Memory Foam Mattresses
Is there a better Christmas gift idea than giving new homeowners a great night's sleep for years to come?
BedInABox mattresses stand out for a simple concept — every mattress is a memory foam mattress. Their product line shows a commitment to improved sleep, from CoolRest technology to advanced pressure relief and organic cotton covers.
The Tranquillium® and Eco-Lux® mattress options stand out. Tranquillium offers three layers of memory foam that provide 12" of maximum support, as well as CoolRest technology to keep pressure and overheating down. Eco-Lux mattresses are made with renewable materials to offer a more breathable, airy sleep experience.
BedInABox offers a wide variety of sizing options, including Twin XL and Split King. Flexible payment options are available in 3-month, 6-month and 12-month payment plans.

Coway Airmega 200M Portable Air Purifier
Shop Coway Portable Air Purifier
We recently spoke to Dr. Constantinos Sioutas of USC about the importance of portable air purifiers. The Coway Airmega 200M is a stylish, affordable portable air purifier that's ideal for use in the bedroom.
The Airmega 200M's 4-stage filtration system (with HEPA filter) captures and reduces up to 99.97% of 0.3-micron particles in the air, including pollen, pollutants, and other allergens.
Homeowners with allergies or respiratory concerns will love this air purifier in their new space. This thoughtful gift works well in conjunction with the memory foam mattress listed above to provide an instantly comfortable night's sleep in a new bedroom.
You can purchase a Coway Airmega portable air purifier on Amazon, but we found the same models for $10-$30 cheaper currently at Walmart (link above).
Cost: $197.00 (at time of publication)
Christmas Gift Ideas for New Homeowners: For the Bathroom
LED Bathroom Vanity Lighting
Shop Butler Lighting Bathroom Vanity Lighting
The most important place to install adequate bathroom lighting is above the vanity — most homes don't have nearly enough. Nobody wants to wake up in the morning and try to shave or put on makeup in a dimly lit mirror!
Opt for a linear light bar in a modern transitional bathroom design. If the new homeowner has a more traditional bathroom, find a great 3-light or 5-light vanity fixture that's properly sized to hang above the sink and mirror.
Most homeowners benefit from a 5-light LED vanity lighting fixture — make sure it's vendor rated as water resistant for bathroom use. We like the Z-Lite Ethos Collection (pictured in pewter, $423.70 at time of publication).
We like the wide selection of vanity lighting fixtures from Butler Lighting. Browse their catalog of 78 bathroom vanity vendors to find the perfect style, color and finish match for the new homeowner in your life.
Cost: per item ($423.70 for item shown)
Byecold Smart Bathroom Mirror
Shop Byecold Smart Bathroom Mirror
Pair those new, bright vanity lights with a smart bathroom mirror for a practical housewarming gift. With functions like date, time, temperature and local weather forecast display, your new neighbors can properly prepare for the day in the comfort of their master bathroom.
The Byecold smart bathroom mirror features a neat defogging design that creates a mist-free reflection — you can apply your makeup or shave while someone else showers. The perimeter of the smart mirror has recessed LED lighting to accentuate your existing vanity light fixture.
The Byecold smart mirror is easy to install, with a back seal structure that enables waterproofing mounting.
Cost: $339.00 (at time of publication)
Christmas Gift Ideas for New Homeowners: For Living Spaces
Google Nest Protect Smart Smoke Detector
Help them protect that new house with this extremely practical gift. A smart smoke and carbon monoxide detector isn't “warm and fuzzy” — but a cozy blanket won't save their home from a fire or smoke emergency.
The Google Nest Protect is our choice due to its flexibility — you don't need Google Nest for the device to work. It's functional in both battery-powered and hardwired versions, so buying a suite of Google smart devices isn't necessary.
Alerts can be sent to your smartphone to avoid that irritating “beep” throughout your living space. And the Google Nest Protect regularly tests itself to ensure proper function.
Cost: $149.99 (at time of publication)
Sitjoy Smart Recliner X1
Sometimes, the perfect housewarming gift is the one you'd love to give yourself. Look no further than the Sitjoy Smart Recliner X1, a 16-in-1 recliner that combines a glider, rocking chair, sleep seat and smart home hub in one unreal chair.
Want relaxation? The Sitjoy smart recliner comes with adjustable lumbar support, 6-gear armrests, 90-135° degree recline positions, soft silicone faux leather fabric, and sustainable down filling. There's even a dedicated mode for sleep.
As for smart functionality, Sitjoy brings the goods. There's an onboard intelligent voice command system, 4 stereo sound loudspeakers, adjustable cell phone holder and charging station, and an atmospheric breathing light.
Cost: $799.00 ($500 discount at time of publication, limited time offer)

Betta SE Solar Powered Robotic Pool Cleaner
Shop Betta SE Solar Robotic Pool Cleaner
The Betta SE is a great gift for a new homeowner with a pool. This robotic pool cleaner cleans the surface of any inground or above ground pool, and there's absolutely zero cost on their utility bill — the Betta SE is solar powered.
This thoughtful housewarming gift checks so many boxes — it costs nothing to operate, it's unique and extremely practical. Pool owners like its ultra-fine mesh debris basket, which eliminates pollen, insects and dust from the pool's surface.
Added bonus: the twin motors in the Betta SE are salt chlorine tolerant. That means this robotic pool cleaner works in almost any type of pool water!
