A space heater always works well as a house warming gift.

You can create a gift basket with some essentials for the home. For example, you can put dishwasher soap, dishware, towels, snacks and anything else you would consider an essential for the home. You can also create a theme gift basket such as a gardening basket that only contains things they can use in the garden. For example, gloves, seeds and gardening tools.

Something with each ‘kid’s’ name or initial would be nice.
Maybe wooden letters for their room walls, or coat-hooks.

How about a nice wind chime?

If the Grand-kids are small, make them a 6 foot Yardstick made out of single strips of Lattace that can be found at any lumber yard or home improvement store, to put in a closet door frame to mark the height of each child as they grow. Decorate it as needed and don’t forget to include the measurement marks! (inches down to 1/4 inches the entire length)

How about taking a picture of them all standing in front their new home and put it in front of a new scrapbook or photo album? It’s a new chapter in their life so they can start a new book! : )

Believe it or not, I wanted two things and never got either of them. One was a garbage disposal (and now I keep having to unclog the drain… however, that is a bit more expensive than what you’d probably want to buy and might be already in there!) and the other one was a fire extinguisher. The fire extinguisher would have been nice because it’s a safety thing and also would have saved us a little bit on our home insurance if we had one when they asked. (They’re not all that expensive either!!)
So… my idea is to get them a fire extinguisher. Tell them so that they’ll stay safe and also save a bit on their house insurance.

Since you want a cool gift, I don’t recommend a small appliance and so forth. Reed fragrance diffusers by Manhattan Diffusion are really cool and not expensive. They could put this near the front door of their new home and every time they come home they’ll be greeted by a wonderful fragrance that just says welcome home. Here’s a link to where I get them:
The lavender is great, the triple red is great too. What I like about them is they are not overpowering so they won’t offend guys or make it hard on people with allergies. They last for about 6 months! And they look really cool, especially under a lamp where they catch the light. Good luck!

How about a personalized ( painted) mail box. They are inexpensive and you can paint it yourself!
