Nothing says "welcome to your new home" than these thoughtful and practical presents.

Odds are you know someone who has recently moved into a new home. If that's the case, what better way to celebrate their big milestone than with a thoughtful present? Whether they're hosting a grand housewarming party or just having a smaller get-together with their near and dear, there are tons of one-of-a-kind gift ideas they'll actually make use of and love.

As a rule of thumb, when shopping for the best housewarming gifts, look for items that are practical yet also sleek enough to put on display in their new place. A state-of-the-art coffee machine that makes the frothiest espressos, luxury bedding sets for the good night's sleep, and a digitized picture frame that holds hundreds of photos are just some unique ideas to get your creative wheels turning. But of course, you can go the more traditional route with a bottle of Veuve Clicquot, a stylish coffee table book, and a low-maintenance houseplant—trust us, they're equally as thoughtful. All of that and more below.

Once they taste a freshly-brewed, frothy cup of coffee from Nespresso, they'll never want to drink from another machine.

Agate coasters will not only protect their coffee table from ring stains, but they'll look chic while doing so.

Between the unpacking and organizing, the new homeowners have a lot on their plate. Help make the clean-up process a breeze with a robot vacuum that picks up dirt, debris, and hair with little effort.

Cooking with a stylish set of non-stick pots and pans is a perfect way to break in the new kitchen.

You know what's better than you're run-of-the-mill coffee table book? A photo album that mimics the look of a chic coffee table book and houses all their sweetest snaps.

Nothing livens up a space quite like a bit of greenery. The ZZ plant is virtually kill-proof and comes housed in a sleek pot that'll look great in any spot.

Perfect any room, this voice-controlled smart speaker can do it all: play music, relay the news, answer questions, set reminders, call anyone from your phone—you name it.

Light bulbs may seem like a questionable gift, but hear us out: these smart bulbs will not only brighten up the new place, but they're long-lasting and can also be controlled from a phone or through a voice command via a digital voice assistant. In other words, the new homeowners can sit back and relax and never worry about having to get out of bed to turn off the lights.

Desserts will taste (and look!) so much better when served on these vibrant plates.

A state-of-the-art sous vide that cooks everything from meat to eggs to seafood to perfection is a perfect gift option for the homeowners who claim to have it all.
