Gift Ideas For New Home Owners

With the lower home prices and crazy low interest rates, many of the people buying homes are first time buyers.  They are moving from condos, apartments and even their parents homes.  Once the excitement of getting the keys and moving in has passed, they are sometimes faced with another reality of home ownership...repairs.  This opens up a whole new area when it comes to gift purchasing.  Do you know someone who recently bought their first home?  If so, here are some great gift ideas I wanted to share.

Tool Belt:  to carry all the new tools
Tool Box:  for convenient tool storage
Hammer:  If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning...
Tape Measure:  funiture placement and finding midpoint
Level:  make those pictures straight
Handsaw and miter box:  for baseboards and crown molding
Chalk box and string:  for marking and measuring, great for floor installation
Pliers:  to pull all the pesky nails out of walls
Wrenches:  fix that leaky pipe
Screw Drivers:  all sizes and shapes will do the trick
Utility Knife:  scoring drywall
Drill  and drill bits: 
Voltage tester:  Safety First

These are some of my ideas but I am always looking for more.  Please feel free to add to my list and help others find the perfect gift.
