A great gift I saw on Rachel Ray is a basket full of goodies. This basket had a unique recipe for a nice dinner and all the ingredients to make the meal. A nice bottle of wine that enhances the taste of the meal you pick out can also be in the basket. I think throwing in a candle is nice too!! This is great because this is something they can enjoy together and can create new memories in their new crib. Hopes this helps!!

The best house warming gift is candles. Its simple but not too simple. Get some yummy smelling candles and stick them in a cute basket and put a pretty ribbon on it. Its a unisex safe gift. Also very inexpensive but its like you put a lot of thought in it unlike a gift card or blender. I hope I could help.

An easy-to-care-for houseplant. A birdfeeder, if they're into birds. A bottle of wine. A gift basket - A Southern Season has great baskets - I used to work there, and I do some of my holiday shopping from them. I'll paste the website below. A tasteful candle if they like candles.
I like the houseplant best, because it brings fresh air and life into a new house, and most people like them.

Picture frames. People always have pictures but rarely remember to pick up some frames at the store.
Maybe a new sheet and comforter set, or new bath towels...or maybe even a gift certificate to home depot or something like that.
I don't know how much help I have been but I"m sure whatever you get them will come from the heart and they will love it.

For this time of year a scented candle in a jar is a good gift. Another is a potted house plant.

A gift basket filled with candles, potpourri, linen sprays and such :) Or anything you can think of that anyone can use and enjoy. Put them all in a basket which you can buy anywhere and put a bow on it. :)

Land's End has this awesome Polartec throw - I think you can get it with a monogram. I have one and gave one as a gift and I love that things, it's so snuggly.

This site has some good ideas... http://www.findgift.com/Occasions/House-Warming/
But a nice bottle of wine is always acceptable!
