When you’re searching for the right housewarming gifts for someone who just bought a home, give some thought to their comfort. They might enjoy and find something that complements the heating system useful like:
Blankets
Having enough warm blankets lets the new homeowners turn the heat down at night. Not only will they save energy by keeping the house cooler, but they may also sleep better as well. Scientific studies have found that sleeping in cooler rooms enhances the quality of sleep. Lower nighttime temperatures also drop heating costs. Select blankets, quilts, or comforters that are easy to wash and dry.
Fireplace kits
If the home your friends or family members are buying has a fireplace, a fireplace kit will give them the tools they need to enjoy the fire and manage it too.Besides fireplace tools, you can give them a fireplace liner or a fireplace grate, both of which make the fireplace more energy efficient. They’re designed to act as heat exchangers and instead of sending most of the heat up the chimney, they let much of it radiate into the room.
A space heater
If the new homeowner finds that the bathroom is cold compared to the rest of the house, a space heater could be one of the best housewarming gifts. It doesn’t make sense to heat the whole house for such a small room. As long as the heater has an anti-tip mechanism, is grounded and UL certified, it should be safe to use in the bathroom.
A programmable thermostat
If the home didn’t come equipped, why not make it a gift? It will help the new owners save money on heating and cooling bills and save them time. It’s too easy to forget to turn down the thermostat when racing for the door in the morning or going to bed at night. With a programmable unit, they’ll have convenience and practicality in one simple gift.
