Moving to a new house is never easy. Aside from unpacking boxes upon boxes, you'll also need a bunch of new things to make it a home. If you happen to be invited to a housewarming get-together, here are a couple of gift ideas that the new homeowners would appreciate.
1. Smart Smoke Detector
The first thing you have to install in your home is security measures. Other than locks, smoke detectors are also necessary, if not required by law. A smart smoke detector would work better since it can send notifications to their phones through an app as well, meaning that they can detect the fire alarm even when they're not home.
2. Robot Vacuum Cleaner
If the new homeowners are busy people, then they would certainly benefit from a robotic vacuum as it sweeps around dust and debris from their home. Some even come with features like scheduling and mapping, as well as self-cleaning and self-charging. To be certain that they can use it, purchase one that can be used with various floor types.
3. Smart Door Lock
Keys are great and all, but having a door lock that uses other inputs like biometrics and PIN codes is better. Not only will they have more and easier options, but biometrics are also safer since they cannot be stolen or forgotten. Some models can be connected through an app so that it can be unlocked remotely.
4. Video Game Console
If you know the people well and you can spare a couple hundred to make them happy, then why not purchase a console for them? Of course, this only makes sense if they enjoy playing video games. They can even use the console as a media center since it also has dedicated apps for streaming sites, especially the mainstream ones.
5. Slow Cooker
Everybody uses slow cookers every once in a while, maybe even often. There are several recipes they can do with one that can be served for another occasion in the future. A functional kitchen is essential and some would say that a slow cooker is just as important as a stove or a microwave. Most people would say that Slow cookers make the homiest of food.

6. Smart Thermostat
Having a smart thermostat, especially one that can be accessed through an app or voice control can be very convenient. Smart thermostats can be programmed based on a person's schedule, so energy will be saved when no one is home. Even before the user arrives, the thermostat can be controlled remotely to get the temperature right.
7. Sound Bar
A sound bar would be a great addition to a home cinema or just any TV in general, as it would improve the audio output for their TV, whether it's for movies, shows, or video games. They can easily be connected, most of which even come with a Bluetooth function, making it less messy when it comes to wiring, as well as compatible with other devices.
