The holidays can really put a dent in your budget, so coming up with inexpensive but meaningful gifts are like little Christmas miracles for your wallet.
Well, if you’ve got a first-time homebuyer to shop for, you’re in luck!
Here are 6 budget-friendly gift ideas that are equal parts funny, practical, and memorable. Plus, they’re sure to bring a laugh while actually being (at least somewhat) useful, unlike unlike a “Home Sweet Home” cross-stitch they’ll never hang up:
Why not start their homeowner journey with a custom toolkit? Gather up all the random tools you already have lying around. Throw in that extra tape measure, a few mismatched screwdrivers, and the oddly specific tool you’ve never actually used. Voilà, instant toolkit! Bonus points if you package it like a treasure chest—because they’ll treasure it when their first “minor repair” turns into a full-blown DIY saga.
Every new homeowner knows the struggle of having to furnish an entire home after spending all of their money on a down payment. So slap a bow on that old chair you’ve been trying to find a taker for and drag it over to their house, rather than to the curb on garbage day! Is it trendy or in line with their decor? Probably not. But hey, it’s better than sitting “criss-cross applesauce” on the floor!
Avoid the awkward, last-minute plea for help by giving them a DIY moving coupon ahead of time. Make it official-looking and be sure to include fine print with terms and conditions like, “Expires if pizza and beer aren’t provided” and “Recipient must also provide moving services to gift-giver the next time they move.”
You don’t know true panic until you realize your new bathroom lacks a plunger…right as disaster strikes. Don’t just get them a basic plunger—splurge and get them the fanciest one they sell and get it engraved with your name and a short message so they think about you every time they use it!
It’s moving day, boxes are everywhere, and suddenly… darkness. They flip a switch, and nothing happens. Turns out, the house came with exactly zero working light bulbs. That’s where your gift saves the day—a variety pack of bulbs in all shapes, sizes, and wattages. It’s the kind of practical genius they won’t appreciate fully until they’re mid-unpacking and don’t have to fumble for a flashlight.
Not just your basic AA variety, but an assortment of the elusive kinds. Think chunky D batteries, those flat CR2032 ones, and maybe even some 9-volts for smoke detectors. When their gadgets need juice and they’re stocked up thanks to you, you’ll go from “weird battery giver” to their holiday hero.
